It is becoming harder
and harder to write a column
as Gene and I have had so
many discouragements a-
bout the progress of his
health. He had his sixth
operation, Saturday at the
Shattuck Hospital. It was
a year ago that he had his
first operation and we had
Kathy in that one hectic
series of three days.. Life
has been hectic since that
time, and discouraging and
good to since we have met
do many nice people, and
had so much help from fam-
ily, friends, and neighbors.
We have been encouraged
about the fine doctors and
the care that Gene has had
in the Amarillo and Shattuck
hospitals. Everyone with
whom Gene has come into
contact has been concerned
about his progress and we
do appreciate your kindness.
{Motes from a hospital
ward) a group of ladies in
the room opposite to Gene
had a funny experience hap-
pen to them. A f riend brought
a box of chocolitesto Velma
Heir, which she generously
shared with visitors and
other patients. The box
was laid aside on her bed
for further use. In a few
minutes her bed w&s covered
with little crawly bugs.
Close scrutiny of the choc-
olate box revealed jillions
of bugs and a few worms
for spice.
The patients are recov-
ering in spite of the ordeal
and the visitors must be
alright too, as they haven’t
been admitted as patients.

public notice, if any, and
thus to emphasize the nature
and scope of modern con-
servation activity and the
interrelatedness of its
various branches.
