girls contributed 7265 hours of sei'v-
ice cheerfully and eagerly.
As a reward, a swim party was
held at the home of Mrs. 0. B. Esval
in Hope Valley. Some fifty girls came.
The day was beautiful and the girls
had a wonderful time. As a pleasant
surprise, Mr. Frenzel dropped in. He
presented the wallet cards which in
dicate the number of hours of service

said they would be back next vear.
Tinu‘ will tell. We hope they will.
When the candystripers left, one
doctor remarked tluit it would take a
month to get over the loss of the help
of the girls.
