An interesting bit Of news leaked

the few pioneer workers for the hos

/ looking after it's needs in the past
| 25 years. DR. Lukens spoke of the
beginning of the institution and the
hard work the women managers had
each year to get sufficient money to
meet the expenses Of the hospital. He
thought they had labored long enough
for the cause and it was to relieve
them of the burden they have carried
so long the present movement was
started.
Mrs. Weldin said there would be no
such thing as defeat in the present
movement. and that the citizens OF
/ Wilmington would be given the priv
ilege Of donating to a worthy chari-
table institution. the doors of which
have been open to the poor and sick
| for a quarter of a century I'm all
these years not one case was turned

is worthy of our best efforts. We in
tended to go ahead and work and vii
not give up until We have the money.
In opening the meeting DR.. Howell
