100 Years Ago

Herald of April 11, 1924

Sixty members heard the Ladies Hospital Association report that payment was made for the new x-ray machine and fluoroscope at a cost of $1,667.75. Interior painting and decorating in all rooms, wards, offices and halls covered a three-month period. Realizing the hardship the expenses were to the association, three anonymous gifts in the amount of $1,100 were received from “good friends” of the ladies. Inspection of the x-ray and hospital day on May 11.

Mrs. Daniel Rock of Roaring Spring presented the Herald staff with two hen eggs with one measuring 6-1/4 by 8 inches with a single yolk and another double-yolked one, 6 by 8 inches. Good sizes for Easter eggs!

Vocational students were working on plans for a monthly school paper, “Cove Hi Echo,” prepared on the new mimeograph.

Mrs. L.L. Provins was surprised when all her children and grandchildren gathered at her home to celebrate her 52nd birthday on the 4th.
