HOSPITAL SHOULD
INTEREST EVERYONE

There is a pressing need of money to
be used In building a hospital in Milford,
not only Cor Milford, but for all the sur
rounding towns of Delaware.
The present building ha sheen fun to
everfiowing for several weeks and it has
become an established fact that a Hos
pital in Milford is really necessity.
since several cases have been brought
here that could not have been carried TO
a greater distance with safety.
Here is n plan by which a hospital will
De built II every one who reads this ar
ticle will just enter into IT, with a whole
heart. II every householder will just give
10 cents FOR himself and for every mem
Der Of his household and also mail his
copy of the Chronicle to some friend or
relative out of town, and ask that friend
to have this notice shown to several of
his friends, and have them understand
that any ONE Dime or number Of dimes
VIII be acceptable, we feel sure that so
many small contributions from that
many sources will swell the fund and
money will come pouring in, and we shall
soon have our hospital, where greater
good may be accomplished.
We notice that the Chronicle has a cir
culatiOn OF more than 5000 copies per
week. Just stop and consider how many
dimes that will mean, if every one will
just take hold, and give for every mem-
Der, or for as many members as he pleas
es. If the household IS not large enough
to make the gift as great as the donor
wishes, the hospital Will be only too hap
py If he will just count a dear friends or
many dear friends. as members Of his
family and will thankfully accept the
money, and be glad that the giVer is both
amectiOnate and generous.
If outside towns will nelp along, and
have the ladies bring up this subject at
their sewing meetings and Sunshine work
We think many sums Of money will be
forthcoming, and each week the amount
will be published, credited to the various
sources, from which it - received, either
from a friend or the name Of the donor,
When We consider that any doctor from
nearby towns may bring his patients TO
the hospital and that any accident that
happens anywhere near Milford may be
treated al the hospital, we think this
simple statement and plan for co-opera-
tion viii bear results that viii insure the
building of the hospital this year.
Several people have promised to help !
start this fund, and if any person or 1
persons of neighboring towns will kindly 1
take the matter in hand and let us know /
that he or she will act as collector in I
their town, we shall accomplish great /
things.
Please bear in mind that there is no |
competition, and every contribution is |
Just from the giver, and any one from /
another town may hand the dimes to a /
Milford collector, or a Milford giver may
give through another collector. So far
we have:
For AIilford-AIrs Francis D. Welcome.
For Frederica-Alrs. I. Watson Belts.
For Houston-AIiss Lacy Marvel.
Church Hill (Milford) - Miss Alice
lfiiiwood (NIlford)-N1iss Marion e.
Skewis.
Shawnee (DInford Thos. H. Abb
bott.
What town will be the next2
Who viii represent it?
If checks are sent, bear in mind the
name, The Milford Emergency Hospital
Although the above naems are used,
still any one may be a collector.
l fsOme one on each street or in any
district win just collect the dimes from
their neighbors and turn the money into
the collector of each town, these collect
Ors will then make their returns each
week to Mrs. / Watson Belts, treasurer
Of the Board of Lady Managers.
We make this, our one request, feeling
sure that no canvassing need be done.
and that each person who gives will
know that his donation will do more good
for the town, than we can now imagine,
and when the building is one Of the pos
sessions Of the town, we feel sure that ,
every inhabitant of either Kent or Sus-
sex County will be proud to know that
it was through the efforts of every man,
woman and child in the counties. that a
much needed charity was accomplished. | ,
If any out of town person reads this, |
and wants to help along, please simply
add Delaware to any of the above ad-
1resses and mail the dime or dollar /
