LO SANGELES. March t. W —
Yvette and Yvonne Jones—Sia-
mese twine joined at the tope of
their heads — will be two years
old next month, and thereby rents
a problem for their mother nad
Los Angeles County.
The problem la hew to support
them.
Yvette and Yvonne have lived at
General Hospital since their birth
May 14. 1MS. The county estimates
mates it has cost $13,640 so far to
care for them.
Mrs. Jones admits she has no
way to give the twins the kind of
care that would assure their con-
tinued survival. She is a divorced
Negro laundry worker with five
other children.
Mrs. Jones has resisted any sug-
gestion that the babies be ex-
hibited commercially. Now, how-
ever, she has joined with county of-
ficials in the hope that somebody
show business will come forward
with a solution.
Dr. Phoebus Berman, the hos-
pital’s medical director, says that
foe their own sakes, the twins
should be taken from the hospital
“If they are kept here too long.”
he explained, “Ibey are likely to
pick up some ailment”
He says that with proper care,
the twine might live 50 years or
even longer. He won't venture a
guess on how much it would cost to
maintain them on the outside,
but It would be at least 8300 a
week.
Mrs. Jones coos and sings to the
twins on her visits and makes them
dresses as fluffy and white as
any baby’s. She brags fondly about
their learning to talk. They say
"Mama" and “Thank You" and
"Bye - bye" just as other babies
their age do.
The elaters are quite active. And
they get angry with each other.
That usually happens when Yvonne,
the larger and stronger, wants to
turn over and Yvette doesn’t.
Five thousand bees weigh one
pound.

Suit Against
Hospital at
Snyder Ended
SNYDER. March T — Plaintiffs
who brought suit contesting the
Scurry County hospital bond elec-
tion of last April 1 have dismissed
the suit after carrying it to the
Civil Court of Appeals, where a
trial court judgment was reversed
and remanded for new trial.
- The suit was carried to the high-
er court after Judge A. 8. Mousey
ruled in 32nd District Court that
the election, was valid. The appel-
late court held that there was an
error in procedure during the dis-
trict court trial.
The suit wss filed after a
county-wide election on April 1,
1950, in which voters polled 823 to
605 to build an $800,000 combina-
tion health unit and county hospi-
tal, using 50 per cent federal aid.
"Now the way is clear.” John
Sentell, one of the attorneys for
the county said, "to process the
bonds, have them approved and of-
fer them for sale."
Listed as plaintiffs in the suit
were R. P. Caperton. Dr. C. R.
Cockrell, W D. Everett, R. J. Ren-
dall, Hilton C. Lambert, Elaine
