Weather Wednesday: high 40,
low 28, precipitation .33. Wednes
day night it looked as if we were
going to be snowbound Thursday,
but fortunately we weren’t. The
area had some sleet and some
snow on the trees and ground,
but not much on the roads. School
was held as usual in Landrum;
opened an hour late in Tryon and
was cancelled in the Polk County
system. The sun hitting the icy
trees Friday morning made
everything look like a fairyland.
Americans have been cheering
Canada for its part in helping the
six Americans escape from Iran.
Mobil Corp, says a television
network is more profitable than
an oil company and it made a
television commercial saying so.
The networks say they will not
run the commercial.
The Tryon High boys basket-
ball team is presently 16-1 and
plays NCSD tonight at Tryon. The
Tigers don’t have a “big” man,
but do have excellent team
balance and are willing to give up
the ball so someone else can
score. They could lose tonight,
but whether they win or lose, they
have been an exciting team to
watch. There have been better
athletes and basketball players,
but we don’t remember Tryon

THE VISITING NURSE
IS APPRECIATED
Since the Annual Drive for
contributions to the Visiting
Nurse Association is now in
progress, it should be noted that
the service rendered by the VN,
not only meets the highest
professional standards for physi
cal care, but also, recognizes the
need for personal interest,
concern and understanding.
A few statements made by
patients over recent years
express their appreciation for the
personal interest the VN had in
them as individuals.
“The VN means all the world to
me.”
“I put confidence in the VN to
do the right thing.”
“I look forward to the VN’s
coming. I learned to love her
more as time rolled on. She was
faithful and loyal to her job.”
“She (the VN) was polite to me,
wore a smile, and turned up with
a real determination to cheer me
up. I appreciate the warm heart
and love she had for me.”
Such tributes do not come
unearned. Mrs. Robert Whitmire,
our head VN for many years, has
been known to go through the
worst weather to minister to a
patient who needed her. She says,
“You just can’t be detached. If
you love a patient you feel as if
you’ve lost one of the family when
she dies.”
If you would like to see this type
of service continued in this area,
we hope you will send your tax
deductible contribution to, The
Visiting Nurse Association, Box
