Randy Russell Cutshall ia a
v. small boy who possesses ' One set
of ' ..loving natural ' parents . and
-,- numbers and numbers ,of extras,
all his own. 1
Bandy was born four years ago
June J.2, and his first home was
the premature ward at Memorial
Mission Hospital in Asheville.
When he was nearly a year old,
he was brought back to the pe
diatrics floor and except for s
month or two at a time spent in
his home on Spillcorn Road sever
al miles out of Marshall, Randy's
lived his life among his extra par
ents of Memorial Mission's staff.
And if you want to see some
one's eyes light up, just mention
Randy's name to Mrs. Doris Plem
mons, head nurse on the children's
floor, who's been there all four
years of Randy's life.
Or to Mary Briggs in the pedi
atric pantry, who "has Randy
spoiled rotten" cooking his favor
ite dishes.
Or to tlhe young intern who first
ran into Randy in the line of du
ty in the clinic, who still comes up
every day even though he's no
longer in pediatrics -to see his
little buddy.
Or to Mrs. Eric Donner of the
hospital's public relations staff,
who'll ride up to the fifth floor
just to talk to Randy.
Or to his many doctors, count
less nurses, X-ray attendants,
laboratory staff seems like the
whole of the personnel of the busy
hospital wants to take a little time
for "their" boy.
He's not an- especially striking
looking child at first glance, nor
the sort of young man to cause
. the feminine populace to sigh,
-what a doll!"
But first thing you know, those
direct brown eyes and the sudden
springtime smile have-reached out
to you, too, and you're like all
the others trapped!
Randy's heart seems to be his
worst trouble. "Plemm," as Randy
calls his friend Mrs. Plemmons.

Is he sorry to come back?
Not at all ! He seems to be

to making himself at "home.
Speaking of toys, he has all

until, the nurses say, "it looks like
there won't be room for Randy!
He's an active little boy
though he tires easily and can
usually manage to go where he
wishes just before he's discharged
to go home again.
When it's time to go home, the
nurses make a phone call to Madi
son County's Sheriff E. Y. Pon
der and he goes to fetch Randy's
mama and papa. And he takes
them home again.
They take with them a supply
of vitamins , and Randy's heart.

tor wishes: to thank all, who have
helped in any way to make the
Bible School a success.
There was the usual good at
tendance at the weekly session of
the Sunday School which was
under the direction of Elder Fred
Rector. At that time there were
several announcements in regard
to the Daily Vacation Bible
School. In the evening there was
a service at which the pastor
preached on the subject, "Anchor
ing One's Soul to the Infinite.'
The text was taken from the writ
ings of the Prophet Isaiah.- Mem
bers and friends of the church are
reminded that there will be a

The little fellow spent last
Christmas in the hospital and
what a Christmas! '
v The nurses love all the children
though the special place belongs
to Randy 1 . and they : built a
lpake-believe fireplace out of the
playroom 's .bitr blocks, covered it
with paper to make it look real.
. Each child's stocking was hung
from the fireplace, and before it
was set a rocking chair. Over by
the elevators towered a huge, 7
foot, Santa! And it was a touch
ing sight' to see a, nurse, a small
c'lild snuggled close in her lap,
rocking , and singing and waiting
for Santa.
Christmas morning, the hospi
tal's Joe' Livesay "dressed all
in red from his head to his foot!"
came up to see the Christmas
crop of -children.
' fint his special stop was Randy.
Mvl How. Santa did shower
Randy! "
i Especially with toy guns. The
nurses, knew he 'specially wished
for a cowboy pistol, so among the
many, gifts Santa gave him, Ran
dy found six toy guns!
In .'addition - to the ordinary
nursehr duties, his friends have
added a new one they use regu
lar bariber'a clippers to give him
a haircut! " ' ,
When Ihe tall dcotors come to
stand around him, poking gently
at his varioug portions, murmur
ing doctor-talk above .his head,
Randy lies flat and stil scarcely
moving,', except when something
touches' a tender place. - r .
His nurses say he's always that
good except when they have to
give. him a shot. Even then, be
doesn't fight , them just cries
lustily like any four-year-old!'
It's good to know, that a child
can adjust to "home away from
home"' especially when the lack
of that home would be a matter of
life or death more: likely death.

Rice To Conduct
Black Root Rot
Demonstration
During recent years there has
been an increase in, tobacco loss
from Black Root Rot, according to
James Stewart, assistant county
agent Last year Bill Rice, of
Walnut, had the most severe
outbreak of Black Root Rot report"
ed in ' Madison County. .: - ,
: This year Rice will start a five
year rotation program designed to
control Black 4 Root Ro In the
infested area .' 0.1 A acre , will ' be
grown in tobacco continually, and i
in another 0.1 tobacco and a grain"
crop" will be totatedi ? '
'L In. order to find tobacco varie
ties which; the more resistant to
this disease, planting of 17 varie-,
ties will be planted in the severely ;
infested portion of the tobacco v
field. It is hoped in using this
large selection of plants that some
variety will show a . definite re
sistance to Black Root Rot. This
tobacco plot will be located on Bill
Rice's farm about one and .one
half mile Northwest of Wamut on
Highway 70. Interested farmers
may. wish to look at this plot dur
ing the growing season.
