I GUESS I AM NOT really a cold
weather person since this cold snap
really seems to be bothering me. In
the winter, I always long for those
warm summer days but when it is
sweltering how I would love some
nice cold weather. I guess I’m not
easy to please, weatherwise.

Wilkes-Barre General Hospital's
Auxiliary recently announced it will
undertake a half-million-dollar
project to benefit hospital patients.
Auxiliary President Mrs. Stanley C.
Ushinski announced at a recent
Auxiliary board meeting that the
group will purchase new hospital
beds for patient rooms.
The beds, along with other furni-
ture such as bedside tables and
chairs, will represent a four-year
pledge toward which proceeds from
all Auxiliary fund-raising activities
will be donated. The Auxiliary will
also accept memorial contributions
toward the purchase of a bed. They
may be made by contacting the
hospital’s Auxiliary office.
The announcement of the new
Mortimer Goldsmith, assistant
project is a result of the culmination
of the Auxiliary’s five-year, $685,000
pledge for Therac, a linear acceler-
ator used in General’s Cancer
Treatment Center. The Auxiliary
completed the actual pledge in four
years.
General Hospital’s Auxiliary holds
three major fund-raising activities
each year - the Annual Card Party
in March, the Golf Tournament in
August and the Starlight Ball, the
social highlight of the year, in
November. Proceeds from the Hos-
pitality and Gift Shop, located on
the hospital’s main floor and man-
aged by the Auxiliary, also are
donated to General Hospital. The
Auxiliary also sponsors the hospital
volunteer program, which includes
over 600 junior and adult members.
Program set
The Trucksville Nursery School
Parent Enrichment Group will host
Dr. Hjordis Ohberg and her asso-
ciate Mrs. Vonderheid on Tuesday,
Feb. 5 at 7:30 p.m.
They will present their views on
‘Normal’ behavior of children at
stages from 2!» years to 5 years as
well as describe some of the prob-
lem behaviors which may appear
during those years.
