paign leadership, the trustees and
board of management of the Homeo-
pathic Hospital. 1t was announced
today at headquarters that each
person who made a subscription in
the regular manner would receive
signed certificate of appreciation.
The final hour OF the Homeopathic
Hospital campaign was exactly like
Nan election night. with the result
hanging in the balance until the
final contribution--s19 .254--report-
ed by John Richardson. Jr.. for the
executive committee, had been added
to the score. The assembled hun
dreds in the DUPONT ballroom fol-
lowed the climbing figures as breath
lessly as a candidate whose election
was swinging between victory and
defeat. Slowly but surely the sum
mounted until 1t reached the objec-
tive and went s11,919 over the top
and then the enthusiasm burst forth.
Preceding the calling for team
reports there were speeches by Mr..
Stirling, Bishop Cook of the Protest
ant Episcopal diocese of Delaware;
the Rev. DR.. Charles L. Candee and
DR.. Victor d. Washburn. Joseph
Bancroft spoke briefly in presenting
Mr.. Stirling with solid silver desk
set, and Mayor Harvey presented
flowers to Mrs. Maud l. Johnstone
campaign director. and Miss Anita
Balzer. her assistant
The final report was delivered in
a. manner differing from the pre-
vious daily reports. Instead Of the
teams reporting and the auditors
announcing the total at the end, the
growing total was announced by Mr..
Stirling as each addition was made
by a team. Slowly the total mount
ed TO s231.937.66 on team reports
and then the chairman turned to
Mr.. Richardson and asked II the
executive committee had anything
TO say. Smiling happily, Mr.. Rich
ardson, who has long been a trus-
tee OF the Homeopathic Hospital,
the addition which sent the
total way over the top.
DR.. Washburn. speaking for the1
hospital staff, said that the members
would regard the fund as a trust
which the people of Wilmington and
adjacent Delaware had placed in the
hands of the hospital to administer |
for the beneht Of the sufferers OF
this State.
Incidentally DR.. Washburn led |
the team which captured one OF the /
banners for the larg-
est sums subscribed. The Doctors
