One nf yov.T o'.;:bo„s, MBY DOLL, spent five days in th6 hospital having a hysterec-
t'^ny in late Sbptem'ber, Hospitals are turning people cut much faster than they
uned to (the second day you find yourself pushing your IV bottle along in front of
you) but, in other respects, they remain the same: they still use library paste
a-i a base for all sauces and soups, walls still are gloomy green in need of another
coat, and bathroo^ns are still two miles from each room, M, Doll's stay was unique
in that in a cubicle originally built for one, she was housed with a 3'! tJi
girl patient, the child's mother, and a Mrs, Beasley doll, whose string was pulled
65 times a day.
Great grati-'&ude to co-editor HAMMON for rallying wildly at press time in October,
and to new resident but experienced newsletter person, NELL CRUMLEY, who typed
stencils for Issues 6 and 7 (Betty has slipped away for a bit of a journey—-more on
that later) and who has offered to allow herself to be eased into harness on a
more permanent basis,
