self explanatory, so no need
going into details. I’m asking
you, the people of this
community, parents of the boys
of scouting ages 8 through 18 -
Why is this not a good thing
for you and yours?
A boy does not have to be
a Boy Scout, but why not en-
courage him to be. I’ve worked
with the Scouts for three and
a half years; some fifty boys
are all that have been a member
of Troop 80 during this time.
Only two dads have been camp-
ing or even volunteered to go
camping with their sons and
the Scouts during this time.
No one in Paducah wants to
be a Scoutmaster or assistant
scoutmaster or even go
camping or hiking with these
boys.
Instructor, has been giving a
first aid course to the scouts
and I personally appreciate his
efforts. Also a pastor from one
of the churches wanted to help
his boys who were members of
his church with their God and
Country Awards. A boy has to
work with his own pastor to
achieve this award. But two or
three men will not make a
scouting organization work.
It takes the whole community
working together. A town of
this size should have at least
three or four troops.
None of the boys in my troop
feel their mother would let them
have patrols meeting in their
homes, or that their fathers
would be Patrols Dads, so why
would a boy want to be in the
Boy Scouts in Paducah.
I’m going to devote my time
to my two children who are not
in the Boy Scouts or ever will
be, and hope that some courage-
ous soul will keep the Girl
Scouts in this community going
and I can someday help them.
The Cub Scouts is being start-
ed again in Paducah and it is
headed up by a wonderful group
of people. Parents get out and
support them. Encourage your
boys to be in the Cubs; don’t
just take the boys to the meet-
ing and leave. Go yourself and
see what you can do to help.
This is not a baby-sitting
organization; you’ll gain as
much as your son, by working
together to make this a better
community, county and world.

SHORTENING J
February 7-13 is Boy Scout
Week throughout the world. Boy
Scouts do not exist only here
in Texas or only in the United
States but in more than seventy
countries around the globe.
A boy not only joins scouts but
he joins a world brotherhood
with close to nine million
members.
I think this is a wonderful
organization for a boy to belong
to. It challenges him to be more
than he thought he could, gives
him self condidence, teaches
him good citizenship, widens his
world, gives him self respect,
teaches him to be reverent, be-
sides how to take care of him-
self in the out of doors. I’m
sure all of these things are
the final district game at
Crowell. Both games start at
7 p. m.

May of that year.

Munday Moguls knocked off
the Dragons 67-59 last Tuesday
night to throw the II A race
into a tie.
At the endof last weeks action
Archer City and Paducah were
tied in the district with identical
records of 9-2.
A fired-up team from Munday
outplayed the Dragons in every
quarter except the third to
hand Paducah their second dis-
trict loss in eleven starts.
Paducah was behind 12-6 at
the end of the first quarter and
31-23 at halftime. Dragons were
able to tie up tha score in the
third period at 41 all, only to
be outscored 26-18 in the final
stanza.
The Dragonettes played one
of their better games at Munday
only to lose it in the fourth
quarter, 54-38.
Munday dropped in 20 points
in the final quarter as Paducah
could only manage 5. Donna
Taylor had 18 and Virginia
Childress 11, to lead the
Dragonettes in scoring.
Friday was Holliday night,
as Paducah ousted the visitors
in both games. The girls won
30-27 as Merlean Jones collect-
ed 9, Donna Taylor 8, Virginia
7 and Donna Truelock 6.
The boys’ game was a fast-
moving rough and tumble
contest that saw the Dragons on
top 75-49. At intermission it
was 37-11 and 58-27 at the
three-quarter mark. Percy
Rockeymore was high for Pa-
ducah with 24, Bobby Craig

Richards 9, Randal Ryan 6, Joe

door opens into the hallway of
the lower old hospital, but the
transition is so gradual, it is
hardly noticed. A special tub
room for treatment of burn
patients opens off this hall, as
does a carpeted Prayer Room
for the use of patients, families
pastors, etc.
On the north side of the
building is the spacious lobby
and reception desk. A refri-
gerated 'water fountain,, public
phone and two restrooms are
convenient to persons waiting
in this area. Furniture will be
grouped into three distinct di-
for privacy and
of a family in
distress. The floor to ceiling
window-walls will have
length draw-drapes.
Opening off the lobby is the
manager’s office, which is to
be equipped with a communi-
cations system “Terrett”
machine which controls in-
coming and outgoing calls to
the 18 phones in the hospital.
There is also a storeroom
and private toilet here for
office personnel.
The entire building is all
accoustical treated and has
flourescent lights throughout.
(Editor’s Comment :
Original contract called for
$231,000 for the hospital. All
equipment, costing approxi-
mately $40,000 , had to
raised from some other source
besides the county fund.
Dr. Pate reports that already
about $30,000 of this has been
donated from various in-
dividuals, clubs and organiza-
tions. But now we must give
the rest of the cost. Many items
a[ have been donated and yet there
are still more furnishings to
be paid for. The rooms must
be furnished and equipment
must still be taken care of.
This hospital is a very fine
one and one Paducah should be
rightfully proud of; but we have
undertaken a large responsi-
bility and the time to put our
shoulder to the wheel is now.
Go by and look at this
marvelous building and see if
you wouldn’t like to have a
part in furnishing it.)
for narcotics is under double
lock in this cabinet.
A sterilization room in the
south hall takes care of clean-
ing and sterilizing of all bed-
pans, etc.
A completely sterile sur-
gical - obsterical center is
entered at either east or west
side, leading into a corridor
with surgery one one side and
obstetrics on the other. This
entire area is off-limits to the
public. A one-bed labor room,
scrub area and delivery room,
all equipped with every modern
convenience for mother and
attendants, occupy one side of
this sterile section. Connected
with this section, also sterile,
is a large nursery, with view-
ing windows across the front
and equipped with bassinettes
and incubator, bathing
weighing facilities, etc.
Across the corridor are a
fine surgical area, doctor’s
lounge and scrub room. Both
the major surgery room and
delivery room in obstetrics,
are equipped with a huge 36-
inch operating light. These
lights are mounted so as to
be movable to any position and
are covered with a heat shield.
The hospital will have complete
anesthetic service. They will
employ the services of re-
gistered anesthesiologists for
thjs duty. A separate scrub area
is provided for the an-
esthestist and his equipment.
The doctor’s lounge is e-
quipped with a bed-lounge,
private toilet and speaker sys-
tem- alsc an outside p’-'one is
provideu. This lounge is in the
surgical area.
A special sterilization ward
in this area is furnished with
a large sterilizer; a stainless
steel Castle Auto-clave,, which
cost $4500. Clean, sterile linen
laundry and bandages, etc. are
stored in an all-sterile linen
storage area.

Miss Glenda Jo Rees, a
charming young lady from
Westbrook, Texas near Big
Spring, began her duties Feb-
ruary 1 as new Home Demon-
stration Agent for Cottle-King
counties.
Miss Rees, who attended
college one semester at Hardin-
Simmons University, completed
her college work at Texas Tech
graduating Jan. 25, 1967, with a
Bachelor of Science Degree in
Home Economics
She said she only decided to
become a HD agent last Nov-
ember, when she and other
home economics students were
guests at a tea given in Lubbock
by Home Demonstration Agents '
for students interested in this
type work.
Miss Rees, the daughter of
Mrs. Edna Goodwin, chair-
man for National Foundation in
Cottle County, says her workers
have completed a very success-
ful drive for funds in the January
March of Dimes.
Sh e expressed her apprecia-
tion to all who gave of their
time and effort to contact the
many people who contributed so
gP- ;rously and to the many
farm families, Paducah resi-
dents and the business men of " |
Paducah who gave to this
worthy cause.
