BAZELMAN — O'Neill — 4411 Veterans Wives Spearhead Drive (Continued from page 1) work as tney plan other money - raising projects like the white elephant sales, door - to - door canvassin, movies, and a Hay Days hashstand they have con uucted, to name a few, during the first phase. There’s one mighty bright spot on the “hospital horizon,” and that is the fact that there is a possibility members of the AVWC think, that they will be eligible for a $5,000 prize to be awarded by the National Fed eration of Women’s clubs as first prize in an “improve your community contest.” In fact, it might be said that this contest was the real start ing point for turning a passive hospital campaign into an ac tive one! It was last March and the 14 members—Mrs. Edward Hump al, Mrs. Robert Wilbern, Mrs. Lew Verzal, Mrs. Marcellus ^chaaf. Mrs. F. J. Mancuso, Mrs. D. R Davis, Mrs. Roy Dicker son, Mrs. Donald Carroll, Mrs. E. C. McKay, Mrs. Lane Grif i in. Mrs. G. E. Gonderinger, Mrs. Robert Gaylor, Mrs. Raymer Funk and Mrs. Charles Chace— I got to talking at one of their j regular meetings about the just announced "improve your com i muntiy contest' of the Nation I ai.Feneration of Women's clubs. surely there were plenty of projects they would like to un uertake—perhaps building a su pervised playground or perhaps a Hospital. There was no doubt about the ultimate choice—most of the wives had had experience with t.ie lack of hospital facilities. One had gone clear to Sioux City to have her baby; others had driven somewhat smaller distances for other hospital care. One member, Mrs. Gaylor, who had taken nurses’ training at Rochester, Minn , and who had specialized in obstetrics at Chicago, 111., even used her home as a nursing home for a time so acute was the need. Sometimes there would be as many as four babies in her home at one time. If the AVWC succeeded with the hospital there was just a chance, members thought, that so ambitious an undertaking by so small a federated group would win the attention of judges and win the club the $5,000 for the small club division. Then, of course, not to be hoped for but still a possibility was the addi tional $5,000 to be given the club whose project was judged most outstanding for all divisions. "We were pretty confident." one memoir related. "We thought it would be just a matter of working hard for a few weeks and coming up with $25,000." But before too much time had elapsed they were graleful when they could clear $200 or even $100 on one of their projects. The young homemakers hired babysitters or carried their off spring to the homes of willing grandmothers as they paired off to canvass not only the town but the countryside for contri butions. The first break came, of course with the gift of $10,000 from the Farley-Tushla post 80 of the American Legion. This wfls the push the some what discQuraged women needed to gain momentum for what now appears to be a successful drive. Their deadline was set for January 1, 1950, since con test entries showing the project underway must be in by Janu ary 15. The AVWC would be the last group to want to receive all of the credit for the hospital it now appears certain Atkinson will have. They proudly admit spearheading the campaign, but to the hosts of contributors and to the hundreds of towns persons and surrounding farm r ers who have loyally supported each project as well as to the American Legion they think goes a large measure of the ac complishment.
