Please don’t get me wrong. . .our nurses \aren’t abused, but somehow or other, there just never are enough of them to go around, and these gals feel dedicated like all the sisters of their profession, so just, work ‘til they’re about ready to drop anyhow. That’s where the Auxiliary comes in, They pick up a torn sheet here, a buttonless gown there, and at their duty hours, the needles fly, and presto! The linens are back in service. again! Maybe you think it doesn’t sound like fun, maybe you would rather join a rockin’ and bridge those (playin’ society. Well if you would, that's entirely up to you, but real -yl now, if you join the Auxiliary, you're going to meet a real nice) ‘bunch of gals, and the hard work is taken out of this labor of love when you can all sit down together and chew the fat a little as you do your good deeds for the Hospital. xk * “Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How does your garden grow?
