SANATORIUM RALLY
Much Interest Manifested Over Pro.
posed Hospital by a Large Gath
|. ering at Pleasant Hill.

Saturday, June the 25th, the audi
torium at the Plasant Hill Academ,
was comfortably filled with peopl,
come together to learn more about the
plan for the sanitorium that is planned
for the village.
DR.. May Wharton told her hopes for
the institution, plans for running il
and what could be done for the people
of Cumberland county and surround
ing counties. She told the audience
that it was the intention to have one
building for general cases and for op-
erations, when necessary, and one for
tuberculosis patients. Costs were to
be kept at the lowest possible figure
SO that all could get the benefit of
treatment at the sanatorium when
needed. In addition to treatment CIV
ell, lessons on how to keep we'll will
be given in the Pleasant Hill commu-
nifty and in other communities Oy LIT.
May Wharton and others connected
with the institution.
The talk by DR.. May Wharton was
followed by talks by Miss Fletcher,
Miss Dodge, Mrs. Boyce, Mrs. New
ton, Rev. Newton, Rev. w. H. Train
um, the new principal of Pleasant Hill
Academy, Rev. A. Boyce, Marion Tay-
qor, of Taylors Chapel, D. w. Lundy.
John Frey, N. J. Smith and others. All
expressed themselves heartily in SYM
pathy with the movement and offered
all of the support, financially and 9th
erwise, that they could give. There
was no doubt in the minds of all the
speakers that sanatorium was need |
ed on 2she Plateau and Pleasant Hill
with is splendid school in touch with
so many communities seemed like a |
logical location for it.
1t was explained by DR.. May Whar-
ton and other speakers that the sana-
torium was to be for the people of the
section and not for profit, and that it
must be built and maintained by do
nations of the people and corpora
lions of this section. Funds must be
,aised if the walls of the sanatorium
ire to be lifted and if equipment is to
,e put into the. building when COM
'leted. Every dollar is to be for the
people who come for treatment and it
will be a contribution to relieve suf-
ering, prolong life and to make sick
nen and women we'll again.
At the close of the meeting COM
nittee was appointed to help DR.. May
in raising funds and perfect
ng plans for the institution. Those ap-
'ointed were John Frey, D. w. Lundy,
1arion Taylor, Miss Fletcher and L.
I. Neel. Meetings similar to the one
eld at Pleasant Hill were planneo =
or other communities to make it pos
ible for the people to understand
nd to give them an opportunity to
elp make it a reality. T.
