Willow River
Group Visits Hospital.

Plans were formulated at the last
meeting of the County Red Cross
for the members to take trip to
Moose Lake Monday to visit the new
state hospital which has recently
been dedicated. There were about
rs including few visiting friends.
This group gathered at the Hart Cot
fee Shop where those in charge had
prepared delicious lunch. The So
cial half hour before lunch was very
pleasantly spent in meeting differ
ent groups and becoming better &C
quainted, as Pine county has some
very sociable women.
Following the lunch they drove to
the grounds of 100 acres and went
| through part of this wonderfully
equipped building which overlooks
beautiful Moose lake. These acres
will provide some of the food that will
be used in their kitchens and will
give the patients chance to get out
in the sunshine which is so much
needed for the sick. DR.. M. w. Kemp,
recognized authority on mental dis
eases, will have about six doctors,
dentist and about 40 nurses and
attendants working with him in the
care of about 1000 patients. 1t will
take some time to reach this number
of patients as they transport them
from other hospitals at the rate of
rs week until they reach that num-
Der. One has to see and study this
institution before they can grasp its
magnitude.
To get more out of trip of this
sort there should be smaller groups
so they can hear and understand what
the guide has to say. The hospital
is open to the public from 9 a. m.
until p. m. every day except Sum-
day. Those who attended from here
were Mrs. F. D. Laufenberg, Mrs
Lyle Hage, Mrs. c. G.. Aakhus, Mrs.
