Sanatorium, which held its meeting on Friday, February 13, had the opportunity to look in on the up-patients’ val entine party which the patients were having the same evening. It was a real pleasure for the com mittee to see the men who had dressed up in the “Sunday Best” having refreshments by the glow of candlelight with the girls who had dolled themselves up to act as hostesses to the men. Os course, the committee did not want to barge in on a party, and had only intended to peep in and leave, but they had hardly reached the door where they could see, before re frshments were being served to them. As members of the commit tee chatted over their refresh ments, they who had never known what it was to struggle with TB found it almost incredible that among those fifty gay young men and women some had had phrenics, thoracoplasties, pneumoperitoneum, pneumothorax, and all other phas es of treatment, and would soon be leaving the sanatorium to return to their normal way of life. Some of the committee members wanted to know why those attend ients”. Os course, it never occurs ing the party were called "up-pat to those of us who ahe taking the cure that people who have never been a “bed-patient” don’t real ize the full significance of being an "up-patient”. One member of the committee who knew what it was like to be a bed-patient and progress to being an “up-patient” was able to explain very deftly the keen pleasure which one exper iences in being allowed to eat at a table, progress to eight liburs time up, and then start on exer cise, which ideally is about one hour each day before discharge from the hospital, and then return home leaving his empty bed to an other who is getting well enough to be an “up-patient.”. The social service committee left the hospital that night better prepared to carry out one of its primary reasons for having been organized; namely, to interpret to the community from which they came that people who have to take time out of their lives to recover from tuberculosis aren’t any dif feient from those who must re cover from any other disease; it just takes longer and the methods of treatment are different. # Don’t forget the Legion-Jaycees -Lions “Night of Fun” March 11 New Sprouts On Old Stumps^ • On May 1929, a second bond issue for $ls»0,0()lM-41 — hr one-let —H*— total cost of the Swannanoa San itary Project up to $1,873, 000.00. Later that year we had what is often referred to as “The Depres •.ion.” It is obvious to mention that in the next few years SWAN SAN went flat hroke. We did not realize that a bond issue voted by the people was a lien on all our property, and we did not give it very careful con sideration. Those were the pros perous years w hen no one stopped to count the ultimate cost. Not until the thing begin to eat up our pocketbooks did folks begin to Thursday, March t, 1945. Black Mountain, N.

It adjusted water rates and authorized a refunding bond isSie to cover the outstanding indebt edness. These new bonds carried a very low interest rate: it began at one per cent per annum, it is now two per cent, and will grad uate to four per cent during the period between 19fifi and 1976.

DR. HERBERT A. MILLER of Black Mountain, world famous lecturer, traveler, and teacher, who wrote this week’s editorial on , “The Tragic Case of Czechoslov akia.” In his brilliant editorial Dr. Miller draws on his first-hand knowledge of the country gained before and after World War I when he helped Professor Thomas Masaryk, who later became the nation's first president, write the declaration of independence. This was later used as the basis for the Czechoslovakian constitution. Dr. Miller’s editorial is on page 4, section I. ■ SPEC I \L WOMAN’S CLUB MEETING Mrs. J. B.
