Baptists To Give To
Hospital Mothers Day
The forty-five Bgrtist churches
of Watauga county Will joR North
Carolina'! 3.238 other Baptist
churches Sunday, liny 12. in contributes
to the annual Mother s
Day offering for Baptist Hospital
at Wtaaton Salem.
Through this offering, they will
make it possible for their hopsital
to continue serving thousands of
men. women and children who are
la need of hospitalization or medical
care but do not haw the money
to pay for it
In 1906, Baptist Hospital gave
more than fSOO.OOO worth of free
eare to needy sick persons from
•2 of North Carolina's 100 counties.
This figure does not include
the free doctor's car# received by
these patients. The generosity of
the coming Mother's Day offering
will determine largely the amount
of free cars that is possible this
|rf§T.
Hospital officials, report 61.139
visitits to the Out-Patient Depart
ment in 19M. Operated for those
who cannot afford the full cost
of care, this department conducts
clinics for many patients who do
not require hospitalization and
thus serves thousands who coulf*
not be accommodated in the limited |
space of the 450-bed institution, j
However, many of these patient' 1
qeed to be admitted as in-patients j
and the Mother's Day fund make j
it possible to give them the hospital
care they need.
The slogan, "Honor Your Mo-j
ther By Helping Another," is being I
used In preparation for the offering.
Through informing all Baptists
of the work their hospital
does for the needy sick and stressing
the imoprtance of providing
the funds for this work, Baptist
leaders are laying the foundation
for what they hope will be their
denomination's most successful !
Baptist Hospital day.

Garden
Time
By M. E. GARDNER
Visitors -are always improved
one way or^fie other, when they
pas* ihryugn your town or community
They may not have time
to (top and enjoy your friendliness
and hospitality, but they do have {
a chance to observe your hornet,!
yards, streets and certain places j
of interest which may have been
called to their attention. They also
see the trash dumps and wracked
car lots.
Many things can and should be
accomplished by group action but,
in my book, nothing can take the
place of individual reaponaibUity.
This is especially true as far as
our immediate home aurroundings
are concerned. Need we be re-1
minded of our obligations as home j
owners and parents by: "Clean-up
Weeks"; "Paint-up Weeks"; and
such proddings? Could not we resolve,
as individual citizens, to devote
82 weeks in the year to the
improvement of our surroundings?
1 can think of no better medium of
advertising North Carolina. I am
not an idealist in this respect. It
is just something I would like to
see accomplished.
Don't envy your neighbor's
pretty lawn and well landscaped
grounds! Get in competition with
him. It will boost your own morale
and please your neighbor no
end. Don't have time? One of the
busiest men 1 know has one of the
most beautiful homes in our
neighborhood and he does all the
wort hifoMlf, with the assistance
of an occasional helper.
Sincu I began writing thin column
I have been more observant
aa 1 travel over the state A couple
of weeks ago 1 passed through a
small town which i have always
admired. The home* are well kept,
the main street lined with maples,
and most of the yards well planted
and maintained A few could
stand a little help. While not too
Sai. they detract from the others
y comparison. Get in friendly
competition with your neighbor.
Timely reminders: Prune flowering
shrubs after blooming Mow
your lava often and never too
close. Top dmi your grass with
quickly available nitrogen often
enough to promote growth and
good green color. Side dress leafy
vegetables with nitrogen to make
them tender and succulent. Keep
your sprayer or duster in good
condition so that you can keep insects
and diseases in check.
