Helps Fairchild Family Build Reservoir * By: Shirley Anne McAllister I. P. D. (W.A.M.Y.) On a recent visit to the Paul Fairchild heme on White Oak Creek, I found Mr. Fairchild sick and in bed. However, he was ab'e to give me some infor mation on the work the N.Y.C. Sanitation Crew had done at his home. We talked for a while and he went on to say how pleased he was with the work. "They built us an outside toilet and a reservoir. This enabled me to then put water in the kitchen. If they hadn't done this work for me I couldn’t have done this.’’ Mrs. Fairchild said, “There are seven living in our home and it took one person busy nearly all the time carrying water. It sure is handy.” In an article a few weeks ago, Mr. Burris, W.A.M.Y. County Coordinator, informed the peo ple that there are too many jobs for the work crew to get to all at cnce. Mr. Fairchild confirm ed this statement. “This job Wc» started at my home last July and it was only completed during the nast few weeks. The reason for this was because the crew had to do work at several schools in the county during the time school was closed for the summer. People should be pa tient because sooner or later they’ll get to their jobs. There are too many jobs f°r the num ber of boys who work.” Mr. Fairchild went on to say, “The intentions of the W.A.M.Y. Program are good and the peo ple should support it.” Notire The Health Department will be closed Monday, July 3rd. How are you fixed for tho future?
