food in general.”
“Well,” I said, “how can you
manage so much good food on
your very meager budget, which
I happen to know about?”
“It isn’t easy,” she replied, “and
it has been especially hard this
fall, because we haven’t received
any commodities from the State.
You know, we’ve had to fill out
some new forms this Fall, and
it has necessitated much data that
had to be researched and sent
from one department to another.
In fact we had to get legal help
from our good friend, Judge Daw-
dy. He has helped us so many
times through the years. I don’t
know how we could have man-
aged without his help!”
I agreed, for I, too, knew what
his help has meant to the United
Day Nursery. So, on behalf of the
United Church Women, we say
“Orchids to you, Judge Dowdy,
and our heartfelt thanks.”
And while “thank you’s” are
passing around, we’d like to pub-
licly express our sincere thanks
to Miss Geneva Talbot and Mr.
LeRoy Richardson for their in-
valuable assistance through the
years. Until one runs a Day
School like the United Day Nur-
sery, one has no conception of the
many varied forms, reports, and
records that have to be filled out,
sent in, and kept. And Miss Tal-
bot and Mr. Richardson have
rendered ineffable service in these
matters.
The power of the press, through
the Examiner, has made itself
strongly felt on behalf of the
United Day Nursery. And our
sincerest thanks go to the Exam-
iner and our friends there. You
see an example of their help in
this spread by its fine pictures
made by the staff photographer,
Mr. Wofford Thompson, Jr.
I looked around inside the
building with a great deal of
pride. How pretty and snug it
was! All due to the kind citizenry
of McKinney. There I go, back to
the “thank you” again; but this
is the Thanksgiving Season. The
building committee, headed by
Mr. Wilkins Com egys, has done a
magnificent job. God bless them!
The floors are n.o longer shaky,
but firm. The high ceilings have
been lowered, and they and the
walls have been sheet-rocked and
painted a soft green. Instead of the
old hang-down lights, there are
flourescent lights (a require-
ment). A new door has been cut
in the East wall (fire hazard re-
quirement). All the windows have
been puttied, and the windows
and doors have been weather-
stripped. In the two bathrooms
four new bathroom fixtures have
been added (another require-
ment) and prominently displayed
is the telephone (required). It is
a prized possession (and added
expense!)
Outside, the roof has been
patched (we hope it no longer
leaks). New screens have re-
placed the old ones, and the
outdoor play equipment has a
new coat of paint. All space in-
side, now, can be used to good
advantage, because it is possible
to heat all the building (though
we do need a new Dearborn
Heater).
We had hoped to get new lin-
oleum and add another room to
take care of all of the children
who need this service, but they
must be future projects.
Some $2100 has been spent on
the repairs to the United Day
Nursery Building, and we, the
United Church Women, who
sponsor the United Day Nursery,
it’s staff, and the parents want
to extend our deepest thanks to
each of you as individuals, and
organizations who have contrib-
uted in any way to this worthy
project.
As the work on the building
has still not been completely fin-
ished, it has not been possible to
have “Open Hovse," but it is of
sufficient completion for you to
