Subscription Books Mailed
The annual campaign for funds for the Sewickley Valley Hospital is underway with the mailing of letters, subscription books and a folder describing the hospital’s services, to subscribers. The folder has an appealing picture of a little girl, who is ‘almost well now’, as well as a picture of the “finely equipped Dental Clinic, where 268 treatments were given last year, all of them at cost or less. This is just one of the many essential services the Hospital provides.” There is also a photograph of the fluoroscope, which is an important piece of diagnostic equipment.
The area served is Aliquippa, Am-bridge, Baden, Carnot, Clinton, Cora-opolis, Coraopolis Heights, Economy, Edgeworth, Fair Oaks, Glenfield, Glen Osborne, Glenwillard, Harmony, ITays-ville, Imperial, Leetsdale, Legionville, Logans, New Sheffield, Sewickley, Sewickley Heights, Shields, South Heights, Stoops Ferry, Wallrose, Warrendale, West Economy, Wexford and Wireton.
“And Came The Spring” Returns For Limited Engagement Tomorrow evening, in Sewickley High School auditorium, a repeat performance of the ‘hit of the year’ will be given to help recoup losses due to the burglary on April Fool’s Day.
The date itself should make for an interesting evening — it’s Friday, the 13th! Yes, we arc defying superstition. We were robbed on April Fool’s day and now, with the support of another audience, we hope to recoup our losses on this supposedly greatest day of superstition.
Be ready to laugh with Eliot (Austin Hurd), the literary minded older brother; sympathize with Virginia (Diane Sea-gren), a disillusioned older sister; suffer With Midge (Shirley Toward), a teenager with growing pains; and enjoy life with the rest of the cast in the merry whirl whirl of spring vacation.
If you saw the Open House Exhibit on May 3rd, and were surprised by the handwork of Sewihi students, then conic and see “Arid Came The Spring,” and really be surprised by the acting prowess of your or your neighbors’ children. Others you’ll seo in this repeat performance arc jolly Jack Miller as Buz Lindsay; Roger Wharton ns Mr. Hartman; Carol Stroll as liis wife; Bill Mc-Ilvain playing the part or* Keith Nolan;
Vital statistics are quoted as follows: bed patients, 7,280; births, 1,747; days of bed care, 64,402; meals served, 378,914, and out-patient visits, 22,446.
Reasons for supporting the hospital are given in the folder as follows:
“Healing the sick, caring for the injured, protecting the newborn and their mothers, and giving health and strength to thousands of patients are the vital services Sewickley Valley Hospital performs for its community.
To do this work a vast amount of equipment and specialized knowledge, much of it never encountered personally by the patient, is required. Specialists in chemistry, specialists in biology, specialists in pathology, specialists in diet, specialists in X-ray—to name but a few—are needed to bring the full resources of medical science to today’s patient.
Because such service represents great expense, and because the Hospital exists solely for the protection of its community, we ask for .help toward its support."
llutli McNally as Carolyn Webster; Dick Blosser and Helen I-Iaydock as Mr. and Mrs. Fields; Aldene Weaver as Gabby Allen; Peggy Moikle as Edna the maid; Jim Lupinacci as Clancy, the gardener; Bob Jones, as Alan Fields; Johnny Swan as Freddie North; Barbara Kilmer as Christine Myers, and Buddy Devine as tlie messenger boy.
That’s the cast. Now come out and let the cast play to a full house. We need your support. In turn you’ll get an entertaining performance and the feeling that you have helped the students of your high school.
Make it a date, folks, tomorrow night, Sewihi auditorium, 8:15 p. m., for the greatest performance of “And Came The Spring."
