THE TULIA (Swisher County) HERALD
PACE NINE
Marie's Malarky
Community Newt By Morie Harris, 210 N. Donley Phone 1-806-995-2195
HI, EVERYBODY! April 20-26
is Reading is Fun Week. I hope you
will turn off the television set and
participate.
When I was a little girl, my sister,
Bertha, and I were both bookworms.
When I was helping mother clean
house, I was dusting the furniture
with one hand and holding the book I
was reading in the other. If I got mad
at my sister, I would hide the book
she currently was reading because I
thought that was the meanest thing I
could do to her.
Reading provides pleasure and
knowledge and is a wonderful pas-
time. Reading fun never ends no
matter how old you are. Two Tulia
oldtimers I know, Zanona Woolen
who resides in Tul ia Care Center, and
Mattie Devin each read several books
a week. They are both in their 90s but
their zest for reading material contin-
ues.
Zanona's friend, Madeline Scott,
brings her books with large print ev-
ery week. These women arc blessed
with the precious gift of good eye-
sight but there are audio books
available for those who cannot see
well. Cassettes also are provided.
These may be obtained through the
state library free of charge. Ask at
Swisher County Library about these
audio books or large print or call Mrs.
Scott 995-4886.
BEST WISHES FOR continued
improvement go to my brother-in-
law, Ed Harris, who came home Fri-
day, April 11, from Methodist Hospi-
tal in Lubbock where he had heart
surgery April 4. His children, David
Edward Harris of Midland and Jan
Wilson of Houston, were at his bed-
side during his operation and hospi-
talization. Ed and Melba said that he
had received lots of nice cards and
calls, and appreciates everyone’s
kindness and concern.
ALSO BEST GET well wishes to
other Tulians who are ill, including
Samara Shivers, daughter of Curtis
and Sherry Shivers, who was in Pla-
inview Methodist Hospital. . . Ida
Mae Bradley who remains in Room
342 in St. Mary Hospital in Lubbock
following heart surgery... Jack Love
who is still in High Plains Baptist
Hospital in Amarillo where he is re-
cuperating from pneumonia .. Bon-
nie Carlilc who is doing well at home
after knee surgery Monday, April 7,
in Amarillo Panhandle S urgical Clinic
as an outpatient... Geneva Harman
who is at home doing well after being
in St. Mary's Hospital in Lubbock.
