DISCUSS FUNDS
FOR HOSPITAL
More Money Is Needed
To Start Structure

A called meeting of the men,
berS of the Union county hospital
association was held in the Senior
high school library on Monday
evening. About so members were
present.
Dana Morey, president of the
association, reviewed the activities
since the last meeting in January.
He stated that he membership now
totaled 266, and that recent SUBJ
stantial pledges included those of
the Penn Oil company, of Marys-
vile, $500; Ohio Oil company, $500;
Ohio Grain company, $1,200;I and
Stokely Foods, Inc, 5000.
Members of the county hospital
board were present and displayed
preliminary plans drawn up by the
architects showing possible layOuts
of 40 to so beds. Estimates of
costs varied from 100000 to $780,
900, representing probably so or
more increase over pre-war costs.
Considerable discussion developed
as to how the additional funds
could be raised, whether to make
an effort to have another bono
issue placed before the voters OF
to attempt to raise all of the ad,
ditional by public subscription. w
G.. Vernon, a citizen of the county
who has had a broad experience in
raising funds for hospitals, recited
some of his experiences in cam
paigns, including a recent one in
Lewistown, Pa, during which over
S75O,OO0 was subscribed.
1t was consenus of the meeting
that it was too late to consider
placing the issue on the ballots at
the fall election. The whole matter
was tabled until the next meeting
to be held the first Monday in
October.
