PUBLIC SPIRITED CITIZENS HAVE
WORKED WONDERS in LIVE TOWN
Seersvile People Develope Modern Hospital From Twoo Frame
Dwelling in That Thriving Pennsylvania Town-Toa Invest
ment About Half of LambertviIe's Resources


Last week. among the develop
ments reported for several hospitals,
we noted that the Grand View Hos
pital, at Sellersville, Bucks Co., Pa,
had installed radio outfit for its pa
tents, Since then We have received
from Mr. c. d. fretz. treasurer of
the institution, condensed history of
their hospital.
a beginning was made several
years ago in small two-story frame
dwelling house. The hackers of the
hospital had only $1,000 dollars with
which To equip the building. Only
seven beds could be provided for pa
TENTS.
After operating in this limited ca
pacity for two years the officers re-
eeived Il gift of $4,000 from two big
hearted brothers. This was used to-
ward new stone structure. When
this was commenced additional dona-
tons we're contributed, but it was
found that the needed equipment for
the new building would run them into
debt.
Their Indebtedness amounted 10
$25 900, including a mortgage of
81 200. At that time campaign was
SLAMMED to raise funds to pay off
this indebtedness, and to give the i'm
stitution working capital. $4,000
was set as the mark to be reached in
the campaign.

STOCKTON FIREMEN
ARE RAISING FUNDS

Stockton Local firemen are 10 be
commended for their determination to
have thoroughly modern fire equip
ment. A drive is now under way to
raise funds by popular subscription
with which to secure highlpowered
motor pump, Since the department
was organized in 1907 a secondhand
steamer has been used, The boiler of
this is in bad condition, and even at
its best is inadequate,
The membership of the department
has been divided into three commit
ees under Captains II, M. Reading,
A. b. Griffith and Elmer Robertson
Under their direction an organized
canvass is to be made Of the town
That the members are workers is
proven by the fact chat they have al
ready raised over 1000 OF this
amount 5000. was previously raised
and has been invested, and $751;. was
raised by recent entertainment.
The recent fire that destroyed the
rubber mill proved the need Of mod
ern equipment .fpr the. protertion Of
the town. But in view Of the fact that
new school is soon to be needed, it
was decided not To raise funds by n
bond issue for the fire department
This consideration for the interests
of the tax payers should be rewarded
by liberal donations
The officials Of the department are
Mayor T. S. Moore, president; John
S. Wilson, secretary; Raymond b.
Mason, treasurer; William p. Col
ligan, foreman,

But the field was limited, and at
the end of the campaign only S4s.-
900 had been pledged. OF this amount
they have now collected $44, 900. From
this the debts were paid off, and
modern equipment was installed as
far as the funds would allow.
At the present time the hospital
has four buildings on plot of IL
acres, The hospital proper has 30 beds
for patients; one building is used
for nurses home, and two small
Ter buildings are used for attendants.
The hospital has an ambulance and
trucks for hospital works. Mr. Fretz
reports $4,000 in the hospital h.ea-
sury, and the holdings of the hospi-
tai at this time are valued mt $4,000.
This is a short, concise history, but
it is one that challenges the admira-
ton for what Sellersville people have
done. Mr.. Fretz invites us to visit
the hospital, and we suggest that
motorists in Lambertville drive up
there some Sunday afternoon and SEQ
for themselves, Sellersville is only a
short drive from New Hope and can
be reached over the Doylestown Road
The benifits of Grand View Hos
pital have been far-reaehing. Yet
their total investment is only S4S,-
600. 1t is located in town of only
1900 population. Certainly Lambert
vile could do as well as Sellersville!
Eventually she will have TO do some
thing, so why not begin now?
