Most of the amount collected thus

though the Loeb Lynn group, Arthur

pecting to become more active as the
= snow piles decrease. Most Of them
have been snowbound for more than
two weeks.
| George Hanst, county chairman,
: emphasized again that the State Hos
pital planning commission must know
how much money is available locally
sometime early in April, in order that
the contribution from Federal funds
be definitely set. The Federal govern
ment has a plan whereby money for
hospitals will be available, so cents
for every dollar provided locally, and
the more actual cash the committee
can have on hand at that time, the
larger will be the federal contribution.
The Federal government has approved
, the Maryland plan concerning the dis
tribution Of the funds.
Some pledges have been made which
Twill not become available until later,
but it was explained that they would
be needed as the hospital construction
progressed.
