Off To Colorado

grancry, according to
Harry Coleman, manager.
Purchases ' Coleman during
the first three weeks of harvest
total 1 mcr-o than 140.000 bushel',
the record purchases for one day
being 17,000 bushels. Coleman,
who has been in the business for
the past twenty years, slated that
the 17,000 bushel purchase is his
all time record for one day, and
that the 247 loads required to
make up the total for the day was
also a record.
Also taxed are the facilities at
the W. M. Creech granary, which
has been shut down several times
because of lack of storage space.
Trucks have been hauling the
■overflow to Fort Worth, some,
trucks making as many as three
trips per day. The Creech store
was shut down to allow Mr. Creech
to devote all his time to the grain
crop.
Average yield for this year's
crop in the area is from 15 to thir-
ty-five bushels per acre. About
two more weeks will be required
for the harvest, officials esti-
mate.

cepted the position of nurse-super-
inhndenl. of the jire”'’l'.;-> T”
pital to succeed J^rs. Ethel Wal-
ker, who has resigned to accept
a similar position in Durant, Okla.
Miss Lisle was graduated from
St. Joseph’s School of Nursing
in 1942 and did private nursing
in Fort Worth and San Antonio.
For a short while, she was em-
ployed in the local hospital.
Last week, Miss Lisle announc-
ed a change in hospital visiting
hours. Hereafter, there will be
no visiting hours in the morning,
but patients may have visitors
from 4.00 until 5:00 o’clock in the
afternoon and from 7:00 until 9:00
o’clock in the evening. The new
hours were made in the interest
of the patients, and friends and
relatives have been requested to
comply.
Redecoration of the hospital be-
gan last week. The nursery has
been painted, some linoleum has
been laid upstairs and the wood-
work throughout the hospital has

appeal, “but letters of appreciation
from men overseas who have bene-

more than worthwhile.’
A medical corps captain in the
North Pacific has written the Red

That you keep up your supply is
of utmost importance in the win-
ning of this war.
Mrs. Bettis announces that the
armed forces have asked the
Cross to supply more than a
lion surgical dressings this year,
and the local quota has doubled.
