(From DeIaMare state News. DoYer


(From Delaware State News Dover)
The Delaware State News extends sincere congratu
atons to the people of Milford that they acquired
such an excellent institution the Milford Emer
gency Hospital which has open inspection during
the past week And not only do congratulate the peo
pie of Milford but the people of central Delaware
WELL for the opening of this modern hospital the
county town will be beneficial to the people from one
end of the State to the other particularly those south
Kent countys upper boundary line.
There has long been crying need for modern hos
pital in central Delaware. Time and time again efforts
have been made to establish such institution in Dover
but financial considerations have always blocked the plans
and caused pOsponement 1t has pointed out that
hospital in the cenralsecton of Delaware may save
many lives in the future Quite often serious accident
happens in Kent Sussex county where the victim might
have been saved had proper hospital facilities been
venient but the long trip Wilmington hospital with
the attendant jong of the vehicle carrying injured
person, has resulted fatally.
We in Dover have almost much to be proud
of the Milford Emergency Hospital and certainly as much
reason to be glad that has been opened the people
Of Milford themselves Who tell soon this insti-
tuition in Milford may be the of saving the life of
one of our Kent county boys girls which might other
wise have been forfeed Therefore let encourage
the managers of the hospital not only with sup
port but with whatever financial assistance spare
The future welfare of the institution depends upon its
in raising sufficient funds to tide the next
two years until sufficient endowment fund has been
raised to for its maintenance Send in your contr
button, matter how small for large number of small
contributions would be just beneficial and acceptable
to the hospital managers, few large ones. This
that every resident of county should be only
too glad to support.

al point in the entire matter is the fact that the public
ntiment of Milford has grown tolerant of lax enforce
