their own spending money.
Because so many boys work
during the summer, the coordina-

finding homes for these boys. Fami-

families without children may apply
provided that they will introduce the
student to other American teens.

WELL, SUMMER IS FINALLY
HERE. With all the schools dis-
missed for the summer months, our
routines should settle down a little.
But, then I don’t know, swimming
lessons, art lessons, music lessons. I
guess Mom never gets a rest!

I WAS SO
GLAD TO
LEARN that the
Nesbitt Hospital
has taken over
the Back Moun-
tain Medical
Center. Pérhaps
now we can see
this building used
to its fullest
capacity. At
the present time the center provides
laboratory, cardiology and physical
therapy services.
The Fall Fair Association will
now use its proceeds for improve-
ment to the fairgrounds; then chan-
nel some funds to other community-
oriented activities.
It seems like the decision to sell
the Fall Fair Association’s portion
of the medical center was a good
idea.

If you have never visited the

daughters Nicole and Nancy can fill
me in on the finer points.
