Theie was NOT enough. Grimly the committee members and other dedicated people went to work turning more pledges into cash, staging endless bazaars, bake sales and cooking meals for pheasant phea-sant hunters. i Then one bit of hopeful news flashed like a meteor through the gloom. In Monument Valley, Ariz., a small but splendid modern hospital hos-pital had been built by Seventh Day Advenlists for the Navajo Indians In-dians of the reservation who had done it en the do-it-yourself plan without Hill-Burton funds. The actual cost for materials , alone would equal what the West Millard Hospital Committee had on hand. Labor, even skilled labor, could be donated thus leaving the money for actual nails, boards and cement. Members of the committee flew to Arizona and came back starry-eyed convinced we, too, could build our own hospital. Everyone turned to with vigor. Chips-and-whetstone bits of cash out locking the back wheel. Eathel received bruises and Fontella re ceived a cut above her eye. ABRAHAM MRS.

Mr, and Mrs. Gle.n Gardner of Las Vegas were visitors Sunday, a1 the West Millard Hospital, to see Glen's parents, Mr.and Mrs. Norman Gardner, who were still hospitalized. hospita-lized. Sunday evening a large crowd attended meeting in the 2nd Ward to hear Elder Nolan Adams report his mission. Elder Adams served two years in Australia. The 2nd Ward Choir furnished the music and many out of ward visitors attended. at-tended. Out of town visitors includ- frightened as Clark and Reva stopped stop-ped and talked to them. Reva wonders how a man could shoot something so beautiful and trusting trust-ing as they were. Reva thinks, "they are just where they ought to be, in the hills, and not in some one's deep freezer." They stopped in Oak City and visited Ray and Frankie Fmlinson. Frankie had just had her birthday Nov. 11th. They seemed quite well. The Blisses Bliss-es then drove out to Jerico and saw two antelope, again the antelope ante-lope didn't seem to fear them. Tuesday evening Cecil Losee brought a group of Boy Scouts to see the Bliss's collection of Indian artifacts. There were about 12 in the group including the Scout Masters, Mas-ters, all nice kids.

The Mil lard County Chronicle printed all contributors' names and in so doing we all wished each other, locally,! Merry Christmas. Thousands ofi dollars came from this but there was still a long way to go before the new building was furnished and anr-conditioned. Eventually that first part of the present hospital was completed soj accumulating funds were carefully saved for years and with everyone's every-one's help, enough money WAS on. hand to meet Hill-Burton require-' ments for building the Extended Care Wing. So there it stands. A dream came true. But we must not become, complacent for those Hill-Burton funds must yet be repaid with interest. in-terest. With much of the old pressure for the hospital funds somewhat. eased this holiday season, I found my childhood problem of galloping enthusiasm overwhelming me again To mvself I reasoned: "Now what's next? What sleeping, neglected project for community good could we help next?" Right off the bat I listed half a dozen next-I-wants! As if I'd had some right smart thimble pie on my thoughtless noggin I stopped short because 1 thought I heard again, plain as could be, my Mama's soft voice gently teaching me not to appropriate approp-riate mv little sister's possessions and dispense them to the toyless neighbor children. Distinctly over the miles and the years I heard her say, "Don't give away something that is not yours, any more than you would take something that is .not yours." So I subside. True, the money-making ideas and successful functioning are not mine to parcel out. Rather, they belong to Mrs. Lilac Holman and Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Riding who furnish the newsprint, set the type and print at their own expense ex-pense all those Merry Christmases. This family's check will be left this year as usual with the West Millard Hospital and maybe it would be just as well that we do not expect to see our names in print later on because by continuing contin-uing our pleasant custom we have made a Christmasy feeling within our own hearts and that is what matters most. On the other hand there remain many more community needs unsolved un-solved and thev do plead for long-delayed long-delayed help. Citizens who are not tied by sentiment to projects started start-ed and mostly completed in the past would logically be the ones to lead out. This is where Newcomers can take over with fresh new unprejudiced unpre-judiced ideas, vibrant vitality and j long years in the future to be part 1 has been quite ill and Walter is' Chester Corhett had the misfor- dovvn with the flu.
