From the above ngures lt WlI bC readily seen why the Board On Control adopted the policy now n use by all hospitals in the states, that is, that of paying in advance upon admittauce. We felt it Was necessary to put the hospital on d strictly cash basis"
 As regards the future of sae hospital, it was decided by the Board to await the return ol members who are at present out Of town before making any dectsi T in order that all members may be present.
 However, MT Hay pointed on that one of the first steps to be taken, before any decision coufu be made, was to determine Who owns the hospital He continuel that there seems to be but little Goubt that the people of Wrangeh own the hospital. He quoted from the book written by Thomas Jen kins, "The Man of Alaska, Peter Tremble Rowe" in which Jenkins reports, on page 10l, an addra 8 given by Bishop Rowe at the open. ing of the hospital in WrangeIl. bishop Rowe said:
 Tt is one of the pleasures of my life to be with you people of Wrangell today, and on this day to be instrumental in dedicattag to God, to service and to huha4 ity, this Wrangell General Ho pital.
 People of Wrangen, this ;s YOUR hospital; it is a gift to you and there are 20 strings upon 1t in any way Another thing bel@ in mind this hospital was ..)t given to the Town Of Wrangei Dy the Board of Missions; its erection was made possible by contribu- tions of personal friends of mine"
 From the above quotation" MT Hay said, it seems fairly certain that the hospital belongs to the people of Wrangell and that they should accept it as their re- sponsibility He quoted further from Bishop Rowe's address 10 substantiate his view. Bishop Rowe added:
 ''The hospital is entirely de- pendent upon the uncertain abil- ity of the patients to pay, and the voluntary contributions of friends to meet the cases of charity that are always cared for"
 MT Hay further explained that the function of the Board of Goa trol was strictly in an advisory capacity; that the Board consists of seven or members and that the time and effort given by members is entirely voluntary. He said the Board meets the second Monday o each month at which meetings various matters pertaining to the hospital are discussed and policies decided upon.
 At the last meeting Dr. c. .. Easterly was elected full member ship to the Board. Hitherto, the local physician has been an ex officio member.
 Besides pr. Easterly and MT. Hay, other members are Mrs. I =. Bjorge, Mrs George Sumption, Mrs. Jack Johnson, Olaf Hansen and E. R. Sharnbroich.

of the church and experiences a dra-

Local Grocery Has
"OmciaI" Greeter

This modern age of remote con-
troll, television and atomic energy
has really taken a step forward in
Hagerstown.
The other day, when your reporter
walked into Cunningham's Grocery
Store on East Franklin Street, he
was greeted by a mysterious voice
coming apparently from out of the
wall The friendly and cheerful
"voice" started with Hello there;
how are you today; welcome to my
store; please feel free to look around
and ask about specials that we have
today" Now from away back long
ago, I've always been firm be-
lever that walls don't talk to peo-
ple-so of course there had to be, I
hoped, a logical answer to the ''Mys-
terry Voice" Upon further investi-
cation here is what l found.
Just as you walk into the store
there is metal post on either side
of the door with an invisible "elec-
trio eye' beam running between
them, and as your body breaks the
beam an electrical device is put to
work which starts a recording, and
thus the CHEEKY greeting.
These recording devices have a
total of twelve records, each of
which brings a different greeting to
the customer entering the store.
The Cunningham boys, long noted
for their, modern business methods
plus economy prices-are fright
on the beam"

My! but it's coy indoors on
a day like this! The wind is
bowling, the skies are grey and
threatening, the air is frigid.
But you and I can curl up in a
comfortable chair with a book
and a snack at our elbow. Or
we can sew and listen to a
cheerful radio program while
we sip a cup of coffee.
But what about the poor UNI
fortunates out-of-doors? (No,
not humans. We take it for
granted that if they will not
help themselves, they will find
others who will.) I mean the
birds.
Where in the world do they
find shelter, warmth and food
in this weather? Let's be gen
erous and put up a feeding sta

their lively antics while they
enjoy our food. 1t takes mighty
little to please them. A few

Send Cards By First
Class Mail Says M.
Use of Three-Cent Stamp
Helps Insure Delivery Of
Your Christmas Cards.

Postmaster Thomas M. Simpson
yesterday emphasized that your
cheerful Christmas greetings won't
come to grief in the Dead Letter
Office this year if your Christmas
cards are sent by first class mail,
which entities them to both for
warding and directory service.
Each year we have to destroy a
large number of Christmas cards be-
cause they are incorrectly addressed
and carry only third-class postage"
the Postmaster said. 1--WE are sorry
to do it, because we know each of
these cards is intended to convey
Christmas wishes to special friend,
who will be disappointed and
puzzled at not receiving a card"
Postal regulations, of course are
the explanation. They do not re-
quire that more than one effort be
made to deliver third-class mail be-
cause it is being carried at lower
postal rate. So if the address is
wrong and there's only a liz cent
stamp on the envelope, your care
fully-selected Christmas card is
carted back to the Post Office and
dumped unceremoniously into the
dead letter bins
Unbelievable third-class mail is
not returned to the sender, so you
never know whether some of your
Christmas cards go askew = and
whether that's the reason Aunt
Lilly suddenly stopped writing to
you after last Christmas.
The Postmaster pointed out that
only first-class mail may be for
warded from one address to an
other. Cards bearing Scent stamp
are also entitled to directory ser
vice." which means that skilled
post office clerks will seek to trace
down addresses who have moved
since you made out your Christmas
card list last year. These clerks
also try to figure out whether you
mean elm Street" when you adj
dressed a card to non-existent
number on "Oak Avenue" and they
are experts at deciphering obscured
or almost illegible handwriting.
"Only cards that are sent first
class may be sealed" the Postmas-
ter said. "You are permitted to sign
your name on a card sent third
class, but if you decide to write a
few CHEEKY lines to an old friend
or tuck in a little social note, be
sure to put 3-cent stamp on the
envelope"
Every year some cards also are
returned to senders because the
stamps fell off en- route, he re-
ported. Don't just give stamps a
lick and a pat" he requested. "Affix
them firmly"
The Postmaster asked that all
Christmas cards and packages for
out-of-state delivery be in the mails
by December 10, and that local
cards be mailed by December Is.
