Milford Memorial
Hospital News

The board of trustees of the Mil
ford Memorial Hospital held their
monthly meeting on Tuesday, De-
cember 2, with about half the
membership present.
Reports and preceding minutes
were read and unfinished business
completed After which the board
discussed the building fund col
lection program and the ways and
means of improving the procedure
now in effect in collecting patient
accounts which have become past
due
The folks of our community
should realize that hospitals have
to pay the same increase in prices
for supplies, repairs and equip
ment as any other business or per-
son. By the same token folks who
owe hospital bill know the amount
of the bill and what it was for, so
the proper procedure is to pay what
they can when they can, so that
the hospital management is not
forced to incur further expense in
order to collect what is honestly
due.
The members of the board are
all active business men who give
their time and thought without re-
, compense other than the satisfac-
ton of a job we'll done for this
community. The board is "a in
number elected by the votes of the
contributors to the hospital and are
elected to serve three years. In
that three years if they attend all
, the regular and special meetings
each member will spend about 144
/ hours or weeks of 4S hours dis
cussihg, planning, not for profit to
! themselves, but for the good of all
the people in lower Delaware who
may require hospital service.
Collectively and individually they
are due the whole-hearted support
and thanks of all we'll thinking
people.

Early this year when Mrs. A.

lessened responsibilities. and
her nearness to friends. Little

the time would be so short
until her life would come to a
sudden end. AS late as We'd
nesday evening she spent the
time with Mrs. j. Lynn Pratt
and other close friends, en-
joying some of the pre-Thanks-
giving festivities. Early the
next morning her death
brought shock to all and her
life became memory. AS long
as one can fememDer the quiet,
courteous manner that was
hers stands out as the domi-
nant characteristic. She was a
charming hostess and one that
friends enjoyed companion
ship with. Like so many fine
people, she did not want the
spotlight but did her part in
civic and social things in
less conspicuous way. Loyal
to the things for which she
believed. her support of those
things will be missed. as we'll
as the companionship her
friends sought.
