pose of establishing some govern

or gifts OF money or property that
might be used for the benefit Of needy
patients who desire treatment in the
hospital but are financially unable
TO pay the maintaining prices, and
the personnel Of the board Of d.
!, rectors who are to have full control
or the financial management is such
as will meet the approval and have
the confidence Of every citizen of
this Community. This new Corpora
tion seems to have the moral sup
= port Of not only the citizens of
aoo Winthrop, but of many who reside in
49, the nearby towns of Readfield
II Wayne and Monmouth.
