Easter Seal Appeal Planned at Co. Soc.
For Crippled Children and Adults Meet
Mrs. George Merrifield an-
nounced this year’s plans for the
annual Easter Seal Appeal for
Ellis County at the Feb. 26meet-
ing of the County Society for
Crippled Children and Adults,
held in the directors’ room in
Waxahachie Bank & Trust Co.
Mrs. Merrifield is the Easter
Seal Appeal chairman and Mrs.
Tierce Smith is co-chairman.
They have done much ground
work in planning a successful
campaign this year, knowing,
Mrs. Merrifield said, that Ellis
Countians always respond to the
less forunate. Mrs. B. G. Wil-
liamson is the publicity chair-
man for the drive. Mrs. Merri-
field has set Lily Day April 6.
The usual Easter Seal favors
will be carried to the schools
and coin continers will be plac-
ed in the cafes and other stores.
Of course, the annual Easter
Seal letters will be mailed, but
not as many as usual because of
the cost of postage and the re-
sponse percentages not warrant-
ing the sending of so many.
Therefore, Mrs. Merrifield said,
she hopes those who do not
receive a letter, will mail in a
couple of dollars to Miss Joyce
Eskridge, Waxahachie Bank and
Trust Co., Zip Code 75165.
Mrs. O. H. Lumpkin of Ennis
was asked to put in cafes and
other businesses here ten or
twelve Easter Seal coin canni-
siters and she agreed to do this.
Mrs. Floyd Casebolt, presi-
dent, ’opened the meeting, wel-
comed the large number pres-
ent from over the county and
reported on the eight cases the
society has helped in the Ennis
area, saying that for one an
armless wheelchair was purchas-
ed and arrived Christmas E v e
and then Jan. 20 a hydraulic lift
arrived for this patient, a nine-
year-old girl who is completely
helpless and has been that way
since a small child when she
had meningitis. She said the hy-
draulic lift came knocked down
to The Ennis News office and in
its huge tightlq packed carton
and that Ennis Daily News staf-
fers put it together carefully
reading the instructions, along
with the recipient’s father, who
borrowed a truck to come for
it from the Byrd-Rankin com-
munity where the girl and her
parents live. Also the man he
borrowed the truck from helped
to put it together. The cost of
these two pieces of .direly-need-
cd equipment was $448.60.
Mrs. Clifton Barr, chairman
of the case workers for the
Waxahachie area, gave her re-
port, telling about the persons
helped in that area since the
previous meeting, Oct. 16. She
also reported that, in addition
to, the $488.60 for the armless
wheelchair and ‘hydraulic lift
purchased since that meeting,
that the chapter had purchased
The president asked that the
secretary write a note- of ap-
preciation to Mr. Upshaw for his
assistance in making the pur-
chases.' Mrs. Barr reported
where the equipment is being
used at present and said that it
is stored while not in use, free
of charge, at Shinpaughs Waxa-
hachie Transfer and Storage,
saying, however, that a token fee
was presented the Shinapughs
in appreciation for the 1 large
storage room in the brick build-
ing. Dr. Ben Stein of Ferris men-
tioned the matter of insurance
on the new 'equipment as well as
the old and Mrs .Merrifield said
this is being taken care of.
Dr.Stein asked that the publi-
city chairman send to. The Fer-
ris Wheel its publicity such as
mats and news releases, and
said the schools there would
participate as usual and told the
number of cannisters that would
be needed there.
Dr. David Fearis ofWaxaha-
chie was phoned and left during
the meeting but offered his serv-
ices before leaving.
Mrs. Barr as chairman of the
case workers in Wiest Ellis
County, has three assistants,
Mrs. J. C. Freeman, Mrs. Merri-
field and Miss Eva Grizzard.
Mrs. W. I. Rabe, case worker in
East Ellis County, was unable
to attend. She is assisted by the
president and Mrs. Wayne Sulli-
van of the Byrd - Rankin com-
munity.

One of the jokes V-P BOB
SEAL told at the B&PW Club
program this week was about
an employer who told his new
secretary ‘We are very particu-
lar here about punctuation” and
she replied "Sir, I am always on
time for work." He told another
about the employer putting up a
slogan to inspire the employees,
as follow: “Always at it; do it
now” which resulted in multiple
untoward incidents such as one
of the men running away with
the secretary. Another was
about a man going to a bar for a
drink each evening with a carrot
behind his ear and the bartend-
er used to all sorts of people
said nothing but finally one
evening he had a piece of celery
behind his ear. The bartender
meeting were read by Mrs. Free-
man. vice-president, in the ab- consumed with curosity by now
sence of the secretary, Mrs. Er-
vin Byers of Italy .Mrs. Jack
Winningham, treasurer, was
absent, but expenses turned in
for needed items purchased has
brought the treasury down con-
siderably, it was noted. Also, a
girl in Waxahachie has been
treated for more than a year
for a birth deformity of the
feet, with decidedly good re-
sults, and these bills have been
coming in to the treasurer.
Mrs. Casebolt appointed a
nominating committee to report
at the next meeting, as follow:
Mrs. Alvis Bynum, Mrs. Forrest
Upshaw, and Mrs. Harold Dor-
sey. At the next meeting, reports
of the Easter Seal Appeal chair-
man and co-chairman and of
all officers and committees will
be made during the business
session after which the new’oM
ficers will be elected and in-
stalled.
said “Sir, I don't usually ask
questions of my customers but
I just wonder why you are wear-

ing that celery behind your
ear.” The man said “They were
out of carrots.”
Mr. Seal quoted MRS. DON
WALKER who had told him
about her late former pastor in
another city whose 5-year-old
daughter was trying to memorize
John 3:16 to give on a program
and when she’d say “For God
so loved the world that He gave
his only begotten Son that who-
soever should believeth on Him
should not perish but have ever
lasting life” the little tot ,
‘would falter everytime on the
whosoever, being unable to say
it properly. So her mother got
: down to the task of teaching her
that one one word, repeating it
loud land ‘slowly and plain each
time. So when the little girl
stood to recite John 3:16 on the
program she did the same thing,
saying all in the same manner
but the "whosoever" on which'
she raised her voice extremely
high and loud and’ came down
with great emphasis on that one
word in a most different and
clear manner . . . Mr. Seal used
this story to illustrate that we
can all be "whosoevers" in what-
ever we do . . . 1
