S75,O00HospitaID Drive
For Mafernity'Ward
Intensified in County

The appeal for $4,000 to build a
maternity section at the Mont
gomery County Hospital at Olney,
Md. is being intensified this week,
Mrs. Eugene, w. Scott, campaign
chairman, said today
The aim of the drive. is to provide
a modern 14-bed section to be used
for maternity cases, nurseries, re-
ceiving and delivery rooms. The
hospital at present contains 40 beds,
of which 1S are in private or semi
private rooms but does not have q
separate maternity section.
: Organized on a countrywide basis,
the drive began on February l.
The hospital was opened in 1920
as a private hospital incorporated
under the laws of Maryland. It is
supported by revenue from private
patients, pay for the care of Mont
gomery patients on a permit basis,
a State appropriation earned on a
per capita basis, the Community
Chest and money raised by the
WOIIIcll DOdlu u VI tllc llOSpItdl
The hospital is overcrowded, hos
pital officials reported, averaging 80
patients daily last year. During
1916, 316 mothers had their children
at the hospital.
The campaign workers are stress
ing the fact that the hospital has
always operated with no deficit -
but has no funds available for q
building program. The last appeal
for money for expansion was made
10 years ago to construct a nurses
home.
