Sympathetic passersby carried
Wallace to a local hotel from
where an ambulance took him to
the county hospital. Ambulance
drivers noted blood on his hair,
dripping down the side of his
face and on his hand.
At the hospital, Wallace was
never removed from the stretch-
er. The night nurse called a lo-
cal physician. Dr. Arthur Han-
sen. Hansen pr nounced Walluc"

to the city jail.

WATER
There are many things that the city of Borger needs
and needs badly such as miles of sidewalks, paved side
streets and better graded streets in the residential sec-
tion, but it is unthinkable that all of the needs can be
filled anytime in the near future. It involves a matter
of money and Borger already owes far more than is
healthy for a city the size of our city.
But there are other things that we need badly and
can have if handled in the proper manner. Water, cheap
water is one thing which alone would do much to make
Borger a better place in which to live.
Cheap water means beautiful lawns, flowers and
gardens for those who love to till the soil. And a gar-
den helps a great deal on the grocery expense of main-
taining a humble home. A garden is one important step
toward individual independence. It gives one exercise
and a feeling of well being, just to plant seed into the
cool, loose dirt of mother earth, and to watch the plants
grow into something useful and beautiful.
And what is life to a child without flowers, green
grass and a family garden. Children love to dig into
the soil, to plant things. It is good for them.
And for the fisherman father, a garden is an ever-
ready source of a good supply of long fat earth worms.
But the garden and flowers and lawns must be
watered. Water in Borger is too expensive for flowers,
gardens and lawns. It is a luxury. That is why when
the wild west winds blow, dust clouds rise into the sky
which together with columns of carbon gas smoke be-
come a landmark to aviators miles away. And at the
foot of the dust column is Borger, with its bare yards,
no trees and drab coloring^
But Borger people like people all over the world
must bathe and drink. This luxury they insist upon re-
gardless of the cost; so the water meters remain con-
nected to take their high toll from those who use the
expensive trickle.
And this is something for our city Dads to work on,
cheaper water for Borger. It is not an impossibility. It
is one of the things Borger needs and needs badly. Let
us work together to make cheap water rates a reality.

Charity Is Greatest
Few of us can fully realize what it is to be fright-
fully ooor, wanting in friends and funds, unless we have
actually had the experience. If we have good jobs with
a steady income and a comfortable home to go to at
night, the unhappy plight of the unemployed and des-
titute seems distant and unreal.
A local man dies following a fall down a flight of
stairs. He became first a police case and then a charity
case at the hospital. Unfortunately he was first sent to
the city jail for a night's lodging, because the serious-
ness of his condition was not recognized immediately.
Had his true condition been determined immediately fol-
lowing the accident, he might now be living.
What happened might, happen to anyone of us
should the course of our lives be altered just a little from
tl.t well ordered routine we now follow. ,The doctor in
pronouncing that his case was not a hospital case no
doubt did his best for the unfortunate m^ and it might
be that any other doctor would have done the same.
But this case g^es to show what a great difference
a few words make and how easily our lives could be
less of the well rounded and regulated lives that they
are. Let us be more charitable and considerate of our 1
fellowman.
