This unusual weather in Tryon
has brought on a disease known
as “fishing pox", according to Dr.
John Z. Preston, who reports that
some people have taken the news
so seriously that they have thrown
away some perfectly good fish.
There is no medical cure for the
disease. The victim doesnt want
to work and frequently looks at
fishing catalogues . and has a far
away look in his eyes. When this
“disease" strikes a patient, the
best thinfor him to do is go
fishing. There is nothing wrong
with the fish. They are good to
eat ....
For Our Men In Service
In January, 1951, we wrote a
letter to The Bulletin explaining
the work of the Home Friendly
Club, which had been revived
about five months previously,
owing to the -"equests of former
service men and families of new
recruits. In this letter we asked
for the interest and the financial
aid of the people of Polk County.
Both of these requests have been
filled, with most gratifying gene
rosity. It is a great satisfaction
constantly to hear “we never fail
to read the boys’ letters in The
I Bulletin.” Financially we have
been able to carry on without wor
ry, sending to the boys not only
the monthly newsletter but other
items that we know will mean
much to them.
Now that we are in need of
more funds we have the hope that
they will again come to us from
you who are interested in the
boys and their letters. For the
constant refrain in their letters is
that their “ouddies” also always
read the newsletters, and say:
“We wish we had a home county
like yours, that would remember
I us with letters the way yours
i does.”
