MILFORD NEEDS PUBLIC
FAIRGROUNDS

acclaim of desire to have public
Fairgrounds, from the press and indi-
viduals, but nothing has been carried
into any serious effort to bring about
this very desirable benefit for the
children of the town. Have the mo-
theirs and fathers of Milford no ambi-
ton for their children? Have they no
realizing sense of the fact, that all
children to develop and mature prop
erly the muscles with which their bod
les are endowed, must have the stim-
illus of exercise which can only be Sc
cured thru and by public play with
other children. The grown-ups can
not give this practice and exercise to
their younger generation for many
reasons. Do we want to leave a last
ing memory which will be revered by
generations to come? Get this by
bringing about an athletic field for
the children. Let base ball, tennis,
foot ball, basket ball and all kinds of
outdoor sports be supplied with a
public playground for the children of
MilfOrd-but let it come soon.

THE FUTURE of the Milford Emer-
gency Hospital has been assured by
the liberal contributions Of the people
of Milford and vinicinity. It is
splendid realization of a long effort
by a few citizens who saw the need
for a hospital in lower Delaware,
which would afford opportunity for
treatment of hospital cases and train
ed nursing service. 1t was estimated
that it would require about fifteen
thousand dollars to assure the Oper-
alton of the hospital for the next two
years, and, the people of Milford have
responded with cash and pledges
which have provided the means. In
addition to this, there were supplies
to be brought and installations of
equipment which approximate seven
thousand dollars, which had to be sup
piled before the hospital can be open
ed for service of the needs of afflicted
and suffering humanity. This sum is
to be raised so that the hospital can
proceed free of debt and with sufi-
cient funds to back it for the ensuing
two years. The people Of other ~
towns, in Kent and Sussex counties VI
are called on to help supply this need eil
ed money, and there is evidence that aN
a wide spread interest which has 80
grown rapidly since the dedication III
of last Friday at the hospi- 9p
tai were held, will soon bring this de- W
sired end. The largeness of the in

the enthusiasm with which the bus -

lation to those who came, saw and
were convinced that the Milford Emer- -ol
