Sizeable contributions amounting to
$11 800 in the campaign to raise $780,
600 for the Garrett County Memorial
hospital fund, were announced this
week by George H. Hanst, county
chairman, giving promise that other
contributions would begin to come in
quickly
Donations previous to the begin
ming of the drive total $l,385, and
added to this amount this week were
definite reservations of private room
memorials from Stanley Coal COM
pany, Kray Coal company, children of
Dr. NJ. c. limbaugh, Mrs b. H. SIN
cell and family, Mr. and Mrs. Emroy
Bolden and Miss Edith Bolden, of
$1,000 each; while the Loyal Order of
Moose No. 1856, of Oakland decided at
a regular meeting on Tuesday to pro-
vide $500 for a Children's Ward
memorial Check for this has already
been received.
A check for $500 from Earl Shart-
yer and William Naylor, of Millcr's
Sanitary Market, was the first actual
cash received, and since that time
donations of 500 from Mr.. and Mrs
H. C. Riggs, and SIS from Paul NJ
Beachy were reported to the treasurer,
J. NJ. Jarboe.
Mrs. F. H. Field has contributed
1000 for a private room and Irwin
Field has contributed $1,000 for a
ward, and Irwin X. Rudy has con-
tributed $4,000.
Donations previous to the campaign
included 81 900 from Misses Elizabeth
and Frances Howard, Baltimore and
Oakland; $3.50 from Terra Alta Moose
Lodge No. 1895; 500 from Mrs. Anne
c. Hazlett, of Wheeling and Oakland;
$25 from Mr.. and Mrs. Philip Whit
taker, Oakland; and $40 from Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert l.. Hanst, New York City.
The Importance of making contri-
buttons for definite memorials as
soon as possible was stressed by the
county chairman. He pointed out that
there were only six private rooms at
81 900 each, all of which already
had been spoken for; eight semi-pri-
vate rooms at 81 POO each; and three
wards at 800 each, but that there
were a number of other memorials
from $3.50 up to $4,000. This of course,
he added, doesn't eliminate the small
er contributions by any means, all of
which will go into general fund.
At meeting of community chair
men held Monday night in the Com
missioners office it was stated that
some communities were considering
pooling their contributions, to add up
to a memorial for their particular
community.
1t was emphasized Monday evening
to chairmen that it would be neces-
sary to know early in April the exact
amount of money available locally so
that when the committee put its fig
ures before the state planning COM
mission they would act accordingly.
The money for hospitals being made
available from the Federal govern
ment will be given at the rate Of so
cents for every dollar obtained locally.
The will of the late George W. Loar
left $4,000 for construction and
equipping of a hospital, and if this
sum is augmented by $4,000, it was
pointed out there was every likelihood
of receiving $125,000 from federal
funds. The Loar will also left an adj
ditional $4,000 but this was strictly
for maintenance for the first year,
and would not enter into the construc-
ton picture.
Fred L. Bcachy, chairman for Mt.
Lake Park, announced his committee
members as Walter G. Meyers, H, NJ.
Weeks, Mrs. Mabel c. Brock, Mrs.
Daisy Love, Mrs. Clyde W. Shipley.
The county chairman urged COM
munity chairmcn to appoint their
committees and begin their work as
soon as possible. Another countrywide
meeting will not be called until after
there is more favorable weather.
