RtAfilt a. an duNlouIA tuHlullllet
for Mrs. Albert Robin, chairman for
the bazaar that will be conducted on
the proposed new hospital for coptag-
ious. diseases on the Mckay estate.
BroOme street near Lancaster ave. dur
ing the week Of September 20 for the
purpose OF equippng and maintaining
mat hospital, several representative
.Odge men gathered at her residence,
Bayard and Gilpin avenues last night
and discussed plans for the partici-
patton OF the lodges in the bazaar.
The fraternal orders Of Wilmington,
10 is believed, viii be eager TO do
their best in competition with each
other, TO make the proposed bazaar
so successful that Wilmington will no
longer have TO wonder, during cpl
denies Of influenza or any other in
fections disease that may visit the
city In the future as they have in
the past what on earth ii 10 going to
do TO prevent the spread OF the dis
ease. For the bazaar is to be held to
equip and maintain the new hOspi-
tal-already purchased from a private
fund-and when IL is opened any resi-
| dent Of Wilmington. who needs prop
er care In an isolated place, will be
admitted TO that hospital, IL was ex-
planned at the meeting last night. In
| I'll the institution reaches a stage
where the city provides funds to
care for patients without charge,
/ those admitted. must pay for their
/ keep TO be sure, but II they are not
able 10 pay for their own doctor.
medical attention will be provided
| free Of charge, it was stated The ad-
vantage TO the individual citizen, as
! pinted out. will be that because the
/ fellow who has the disease has a hos
pital TO which he can be taken, which
is not possible under present condi-
/ lions, except when emergency hOspi-
| tails are opened. the other fellow will
/ be IN far less danger Of infection.
That is the reason for the bazaar.
| The way Of IL is being WOrwed out
gradually and 10 was TO help promote
IL that last nights meeting was held.
IL Is hoped that each Of the lodges
Of Wilmington, the Masons, the
knights OF Columbus, The Red Men.
/ odd Fellows and all the rest. will
each be willing to take a booth at
the bazaar which they will agree to
run and at whichsthey will offer for
sale whatever they care TO choose.
providing that, under the direction of
the general committee, each lodge has
something different TO ofler.
To lay the lines for this plan OF
work the meeting Of representative
lodge men was called last night
These men were not empowered by
their lodges 10 act and therefore
could serve only as an advisory com
mittee for the chairman OF the ba-
zaar with the details Of the fraternal
organizations participation to look
after The lines were well laid for
this so that the heads Of all organiza-
ti0ns viii be properly notified what
their ldges Will be asked TO do and II
lcan then be taken up with The local
branches as any other regular lodge
procedure.
In view Of the fact that this is es-
sentially a city undertaking. although
not financed nor controlled by the
city, but bound be as soon as vii
mingt0n is able financially TO take ii
over, those present at the meeting be-
lieVed that the successful establish
menl Of such a hospital will be large
ly due 10 an who take a working
interest In the bazaar that is 10 eQuiI
and help maintain The institution. For
this reason the active interest OF all
