Mr. B. L. Ballenger, Treasurer:
Tc \ I notice in the Tryon Bulletin
Tx?nd Polk News that St. Lukes
Hospital will have to close unless
several thousand dollars are rais
ed in the near future. We all', I
am sure, regret this to be the
ease. Th e institution is Polk’s
choice asset and benefactor and
deserves our financial support.
Enclosed is a check for $lO to
add to your Hospital fund. Al
though I do not expect to live in
Polk County again, the eight yea v s
spent there endeared me to i ; ;s
people and its worthwhile insti
tutions. I hope the people will ral
ly to this urgent cause.
John Artz
Mr. Artz needs no introduc
tion to our readers. As a former
County Agent for Polk and as a
president of th e Tryon Kiwanis
club he became interested in ev
erything for the welfare of this
county. H e and Miss Cox, whose
letter was published yesterday, ex
emply true, unselfish citizenship,
and loyalty to those things we hold
most dear.

BALLENGER CO. PAINTING
The store front of the Ballenger
Co. is being painted gray-white
like the Hester building adjoining,
and will be trimmed in green.
TUBERCULOSIS There has
been some doubt about whether the
state should enlarge the present
tubercular hospital in the Sand
Hills or construct a new unit in
the mountain section of the state.
During debate on the matter it was
brought out that no private tuber
cular sanitoriam in the world is as
large as the present state unit. It
wlas also established that some
patients recover in one climate and
lose ground in another. As a re
sult it now appears that if any
thing is done it probabaly will be
authorization for construction of a
new hospital for the teratment of
tuberculosis.
More than 30 prizes have been
secured for th e bridge and game
party to be given Friday evening
in the Parish House by the Parent
Teacher Assn. Come and win one
of them. Make your reservations
through Mrs. W. A. Schilletter or
Mrs. W. C. Ward.
Drama Fortnightly postponed
until next week.
