Decide On Site For
Hospital At Seaford
(continued from i,iss page)

The board was unanimous in its
approval of the Locates property,
basing it's conclusions principally
upon the following:
1. Protection of the location on
all sides from possible undesirable
buildings or businesses which might
be erected in the future.
Q. A natural change in elevation
on one side which would permit
easy access to the first floor Negro
wing without requiring extensive
grading.
8. The inclusion of the rights to
Williams Pond and the old mill dam
and building site and while this last
feature, has no immediate advan-
tage, it offers an opportunity for
future civic development of the Sec
ton adjacent to the hospital as q
park and recreation area.
The entire site will consist of ap-
proxfmately 25 acres, the mill site
and pond rights.

Milford Memorial
Hospital News

That Milford Memorial Hospital
is in truth a community hospital
in the largest sense of the word,
one only has to examine the record
of the home area from which the
different patients are entered daily.
Every part of Kent and Sussex
counties is represented at some
time during the year in this mod
ern hospital. The appended list of
new-boIns is a very good example
of the territory covered by the
entries daily to this hospital.
There were eight girls and seven
boys born in the last week, only
one of which was from Milford,
one from GOldsboro, Md, one from
Delmar, one from RehobOth, one
from FELTON, and the others from
the intermediate. territory. The
writer of this column receives very
often word OF suggestion from
someone who has been patient in
this hospital and we are always
glad to have constructive criti-
cism towards an improvement in
any department in the hospital.
