mittee To Raise Funds

The movement for the Salem Coun-
ty Memorial Hospital in tribute to the
boys of the army and navy from this
county is progressing by leaps and
bounds. Representatives from the
several districts have reported to
Mayor Grier at Salem that not a dis
senting voice is heard and that the
proposed 100000 endowment fund
can be easily raised. Such an institu-
ton has long been needed in Salem
county, and now that it is a possibil-
ity, citizens are rallying in aid of the
movement.
Ford's Hotel, Salem, which repre-
sents an investment of approximate
ly $4,000, has been offered to the
county for $4,000, and of this amount
the owner, Charles C. Ford, Jr., has
agreed to donate $500. An option
has been taken and it is confidently
expected, said Mayor Grier, that when
the committee has completed its tour
of the industries alone, there will be
more than sufficient funds in hand to
close the deal before the option eX-
pires.
DR.. C. M. Sherron, who has been ap-
pointed temporary treasurer, reports
that already citizens have volunteered
contributions. Through the action of
the Board of Freeholders last week,
$4,000 from the county will be avail
able on demand for maintenance, and
some of the industries have signifed
their willingness to make liberal an
nual contributions. 1t is the purpose
to conduct a 15-day campaign begin
ming the first of February.
Mayor w. A. Grier, of Salem, has
appointed a committee of about 500
in all parts of the County to make the
plans for this hospital a complete
success. 1t is to be called a Memorial
Hospital to the Soldiers and Sailors of
the World War.
The committee is called to attend a
meeting in the Salem Court House on
Monday evening next at eight o'clock
when it is expected that definite plans
will be made for the big Hospital Cam
paign. This promises to be the most
interesting meeting thus far held and
it will be largely attended.
