George W. Blessing, who is indeed
a "blessing" to the community with

el.ilities cramped somewhat due to
ti e visitStion of a number of boils.
Withal, George has a hard job to per
foim in getting the paper out alone
while other members of the staff are
spending a vacation in the west. His
3cn. George, Jr., who has been a de
pendable helper and well versed in
operation of the linotype, is greatly
missed, as the machine did not re
spond so readily to the strange hands
of anothpr brought here for the per
iod of th? yoiing man's absence, and
this has piled double duty on the
shoulders of his father. Despite the
handicaps, Mr. Blessing keeps work- i
in:; away and manages to get thei
paper out. However, we are sure he
will welcome the return of the other j
members of the family and the re
sistant ' easing up of the burden of
going it alone.
