Kent General Hospital, Dover, a
check for $1,100. In accepting, John

hospital, said he intends to make

with the help of the board and
community.
Citing handicaps in the operation
of the hospital, Mr.. Elder said that
IN the past many patients left with

and addresses, and some even
slipped out by the back stairs.
The director said nearly $50. 600
remains unpaid by former patients.
He explained, too, that although the
average cost to the hospital is
S12.71 a day, it receives only 50
for relief patients. He assured that
no one will ever be turned awav
because they cannot pay-"the hos
pltal is there to take care of
/ them"
Mr.. Elder mentioned that the
out-of-date kitchen had to be mod
