- HIS TIME next Fri
day the nation will
be observing HOspi-
tai Day, and what an
- - observation it will be,
for never in the history of the
health-giving institutions has
their Importance been so para
mount. Large or small, all are
busy places. In normal times
hospitals are of particular mo-
ment, but today, when physi-
clans are in the far away places,
for the most part, nurses are
substituting with their good care
for the absent professionals. Ex-
penses keep apace with the many
patients and so, the time is al
most at hand when the laymen
may help. Hospital Day is al
ways interpreted as donation
day. Gifts of all kinds, whether
1t be food or materials, are well
coined by those in charge and
they help to tighten the burden
of the Fl. c. of L. The town has
been divided for solicitation, but
if for some reason you are not
asked for contributions, it would
be much appreciated if you did
it voluntarily Hospital Day. May
