A letter from Mrs. Dan Juren
explains why the Ellinger News
lias Men missing from the pa-
per: “Dear Mr. and Mrs. Due-
wall: I guess you were wonder-
ing why my news didn’t come in
this week. We went to Dallas
last Saturday afternoon to see
my brother, Joe, who had been
seriously ill suffering a heart at-
tack, and also drove to Ft. Worth
to visit with Dan’s brother and
sister on Labor Day. About noon
we had a terrible car accident
with a couple from Ft. Worth
and their three-year old child.
We were a few miles out of c*ty
limits—when the accident hap-
pened. The couple and their child
didn’t get a scratch (I am so
glad). Dan got a scratch on his
knee and broke a nose P«d
his glasses and that was all. I
had a big bump on my head,
bruises all over my whole body,
four broken ribs in the back,
and suffered shock.” Mrs. Juren
goes on to say that she is im-
proving but is still In St. Jo-
seph’s Hospital in Ft. Worth. She
* says their car is badly damaged.
She does not know when the
doctor will permit her to return
to Ellinger.

Our United Fund
For the past two years surveys, to determine whether or not
the people of La Grange want a United Drive, have been conducted
by some of the women as they worked ui the various national fund
raising campaigns. Almost without exception, the results have been
definitely for one drive. The business man, the employee and the
housewife are all tired of being called upon month after month—
to say nothing of the 30 or 40 women who make these monthly
trecks. It is their feeling that everyone concerned would benefit
from a united effort.
Seven organizations are definitely known to conduct drives in
La Grange annually. These sevrti organizations probably should
be listed on a contributors card and the contributor should have the
right to say who will receive his contribution, even if his favorite
charity is not listed—that is why there are three blank lines on the
card, for write-in organizations:
