His hospital ca- reer began at the Madison Sanitarium and Hospital, before his education was completed. He advanced there to become head of the clinical laboratory and blood bank. It was after his service in the U.S. Army medical corps during World War II that he completed his college work for a B.S. degree at Madison.

SOUTHERN TIDINGS, OCTOBER 26, 1960 The chaplain's department provides an excellent service to the religious community of all denominations, through the volunteer work of Mrs. Margaret Dixon, wife of the pastor of the North Hialeah Methodist church. Mrs. Dixon notifies all pastors by phone of the admission of any of their members, and delivers patients' mail and flowers that arrive for them. She also writes a letter for the chaplain to the families of any who die in the hospital. Some sort of public service is fre- quently done by the hospital or some of its staff. It is difficult to get details on these activities because they are done spontaneously and no attempt is made to keep record of them In September of 1957 when the Asiatic flu epidemic was anticipated and the vaccine against it was scarce, the hospi- tal called the Hialeah police depart- ment and had 30 officers ordered over at once for a free innoculation.

The church academy was reduced to a ten-grade school. The faithful membership con- tinued to hold on with determination with varying degrees of progress and retrogression. But the upturn has started. There is a sound of going there. Recently Dr. L. F. Littell purchased a magnificent clinic in nearby Dayton. He was ac- cepted immediately—and already he foresees the need of an associated Adventist physician. This means much to the Graysville community.

The leadership in this effort was as follows: Dr. L. F. Littell was the general chairman, Harold Hanon was the special gifts chairman, G. C. Clow- ers was initial gifts chairman. The fellowship dinner was an outstanding success. As it appears now, Graysville will have 100 per cent participation in this forward effort.
