Day for Hospital DONATING

Lay iOT f1CSPitdI 6OhdbtnQ
The Waldo County General hos
pital has had one of the most sue
cessful years in its history and
things have been coming Its way so
rapidly that nothing surprises 1t
now. Within a week. this month, it
received two requests, one for $1,000
and one for $4,000, which together
with another bequest earlier in the
year for $4,000 makes total Of 81, 600
in three requests. It has also re-
ceived lesser gifts and has also been
doing a good business. The sponsors
of the institution are particularly
grateful for gifts, trust funds and
requests, for it is thus enabled to do
a greater charitable work, one of the
functions of the hospital. While it
is in measure self supporting, its
earnings cannot take care of all the
free work. it does and such gifts
come in very handy when there are
bills to be paid.
Many a life has been saved because
the local physicians have been able
to take their patients to this hos
pital. many of them patients who
had no money but have been as ten
DERBY cared for and as skilfully treat
ed as they would have been had they
ample means with which to pay. On
Thursday of this week donations will
be received, solicitors making
house to house canvass for proyis-
ions, produce. vegetables, canned
goods, preserves, jellies, old linen or
any household commodities which
will be gratefully received. These
articles save money which can be
used for other things needed.
