Stock Prices Respond
To Moderate Rally,
Advance Up 10 81
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-A rally
of respectable size started rolling
in the stock market today after
one Of the sharpest setbacks OF
the year yesterday.
The market responsed slowly
to early demand. Buying interest
became a little more acute on
news from Washington that a sud-
den turn could be expected in
negotiations between steel labor
and management over the question
of pensions.
Gains ranged to 2 points. Plus
signs were pretty well spread
around but steel. automobile, rail-
road and utility stocks were among
the better performers.
Higher prices were paid fol

An unfavorable earnings report
knocked down Montgomery Ward
more than point but the loss
was reduced later. Profit taking
clipped a couple of recently popu-
lar colds, including Homestake
and Mcintyre Porcupine.
Selective demand developed for
railway issues in the bond market.
United States Governments leaned
ahead in fairly active trade in
over-the-counter dealings.

Gwen this overcrowding can't
take care of people who need hos
pital attention." said Morris. "With
conditions as they are now, the
Marion General Hospital has space
for only one emergency case. We
need five more beds for emergen-
cies alone to meet the MINIMUM
safety requirement of the Ameri-
can Hospital Association"
Originally, it was planned to re-
model the present building, but af-
ter thorough investigation, the
Medical Care Commissions experts
advised that remodeling the pre-
sent structure would be impractical.
These experts pointed out that by
raising only 100000 more in local
funds a modern new 6O-bed hospital
and nurses home could be secured.
A $15O,OOO nurses home will be
built adjacent to the new hospital,
at a cost to the county Of only
$50, ,000-or half of the needed
100000 The Medical Care Com
mission has allocated the balance
from the state and federal govern
ments' building fund.
Final plans for the subscription
campaign-described as the fairest
way to evenly distribute the cost
were made at meeting of the
Board of Trustees at the hospital.

portunity to get adequate hospital
facilities for our county," he said.

will understand that an investment
in the new Marion General Hos
pital will be an investment in some
body's heather life"
Under provisions of the Commits
sion's hospital construction pro-
gram, Mcdowell county should
raise it's share Of 100000 by the
end of the year or the federal and
state funds available may be divert
ed to use by another county in need
of hospital facilities.
In 1913, the present hospital ad-
mitted 11,710 patients and led ali
other North Carolina hospitals of
similar size in the number of sur
gical cases. Room rates are lower
than the state average.
