GOOD WILL COME OUT OF THE WAR

There are always prophets of
evil in every calamity, whether
the calamity be local or national,
or worldwide, as in the present
war. Many curbstone politicians,
agitators, nihilists and some very
good people as well, second-com-
ing-of-Christ people, are telling
us that the end Of the world is
near; that the war is an abso-
lutte and total evil; that Chris
tianity is a failure; that if there

BERRY KNEW PLANS
(Long before his death, and
prior to the will which he drew
up Dec. Is, 1914, DR.. Berry was
aware of the complete plans for
the hospital, which were pub
lished in detail, with pictures, in
The Monitor-Leader.)
At the time the hospital plans
were under discussion, it was
revealed that the county had
approximately 100000 avail
able for building purposes. This
amount, however, was generally
earmarked for hospital, Jail,
juvenile detention home and
other purposes.
The Berry bequest will not
only aid in accelerating the hos
pital program, but win probably
allow a financial balance in the
building fund which will favor
an early start on the rest of the
building program
HIGH STANDARDS SET
The new hospital will be OPP
Grated under the standards set
up by the American Medical
Association and the State De-
partment of Health, DR.. Berry
stipulated. He also provided that
it must be known as the Martha
T. Berry Memorial Hospital, in
memory of his late wife who
collaborated with him on the
plan.
Federal and state funds may
be used for the hospital, and
supervisors have already made
preliminary approaches.

statement regarding the DR..
Berry will is as follows:
CITE KINDLY INTEREST
1.-THE Macomb County Board
of Social Welfare has been in
formed of the bequest in the last
will and testament Of the late
Doctor Berry providing funds to
be used in the erection Of a
Memorial Hospital for the treat
ment of INDECENT persons in the
county.
The hospital, when erected,
will be known as the Martha T.
Berry Memorial Hospital, named
for his late wife.
1.-The members of the board
join with the rest of the citi-
zens of this county in expressing
their happiness and appreciation
for this fine expression of pub
lie spiritedness and humanitar-
ianism.
During the many years that
Doctor Berry carried on the
practise of medicine in this
county, he always had a kindly
public-spirited interest in the
needy and in the provision made
by him for this worthy project
he has continued what he prac-
tised in his lifetime"
The Macomb County Board
of Supervisors, named in DR..
Berry's will as co-administrators
with the Welfare Board of the
new memorial hospital, will
fully discuss the bequest and its
favorable effect on the building
plans at their September II
meeting. according to Floyd w.
Rosso. chairman of the board.
CONFER ON PLANS
Rosso this week conferred
with Earl Tallman, Warren

man of the Building Committee.
on plans for the new hospital.
It is understood that the pro-
iect, tagging for lack of suf-
ficient funds, will shortly be Civ
en- the go-ahead signal by the
supervisors, largely on the basis
of the Berry bequest.
The project has been on the
county's books for the past six
months. Land for the building
was purchased on the east side
of the present county infirmary,
on Elizabeth street, on the
northwest section of Mount
Clemens. Engineering surveys
were made and contract en-
tered into with Harley, Filing
ton & Day, Detroit architects.
for design of a 100-bed hospital
which, completely equipped, is
stipulated by the supervisors to
entail a maximum cost OF $780,
600.
The hospital is planned in the
latest modern design, on the ba-
sis of data obtained in a national
survey conducted by the archi-
tects for the purpose of the Ma
comb County project.
PROVIDE FOR EXPANSION
1t will be a one-story build
ign throughout with provision
made in foundations for Sec
ond story over the two center
nursing wings and the center
north service wing.)
The building is in the shape
of two letter "E's," back to
back, thereby providing maxi
mum of sunshine and air which
gives every room and ward an
outdoor exposure.
The hospital will contain a
maternity ward, complete with
delivery room; a 25-bed con-
tagious ward shut off from the
rest of the hospital, and many
wards adjustable for single-bed,
double and larger groupings OF
patients. The hospital will have
