The objective of the present
100000 program is the imme-
date construction of the first
wing which will bring IS new
beds to the community. The
wing will also provide an entire
new surgery department, phar-
macy and central sterile supply
suite thereby releasing space in
the present building for much
need expansion of laboratory and
x-ray facilities. Morgan pointed
out that a community investment
of 100000 at this time will bring
to the area a modern hospital
worth more than two and a half
million dollars which will assure
the continued health protection
of all area residents.
In announcing the formal open
ing of the building program,
Morgan said the campaign would
be developed in two stages.
Solicitation of trustees, medical
staff, larger contributors and
business establishments will be
conducted this year, with the
campaign carried to the general
public sometime early in 1855.

Montgomery County motorists,
long an educational target of the
County Council, will soon re-
ceive additional instruction on
how to avoid roadside litter.
Twenty-four of the nations big
gest industries have agreed to
spend 100000 between now and
next summer persuading the pub
lie to stop scattering trash along
Americas highways and byWayS.
Announcement of the figure as
a budget for Keep America Beau
tiful, Inc, followed a meeting
here of the KAB board of direc-
tors, all of them top officials in
their respective companies. The
KAB organization, non-profit
corporation dedicated to anti
trash education on a national
basis, was created some months
ago jointly by industrialists who
serve on its board and some 30
national citizen service groups,
whose representatives constitute
an Advisory Council.
The 100000 budget imple-
ments an educational program de-
signed to make Americans con-
scious both of their individual re-
sponsibility for litter in public
places and their ability to prevent
it simply by putting their own
trash-from gum wrappers to
food cartons-in proper recepta-

but it is a fact nevertheless.
Nov. II, long known as ARMS

brated as legal holiday, but the
name will be changed to "Vet

The change became fact when
Gov. T. r. McKeldin issued a
proclamation this week deSignat
ing Nov. II as Veterans Day in
the State. With two wars taking
place since the first Armistice
Day was. celebrated, the term has
lost much of its meaning, the
Governor said in explaining his
action.
The full text of his proclama-
ton is:
"Since that November 18th in
1918 when the shooting and
slaughter ended in the First
World War and the people rose
in spontaneous celebration, the
anniversary has been observed in
various patriotic ways as a holi-
day.
"At first such observance con-
tinued to be spontaneous and in
formal. Eventually, it officially
became a National Holiday, and
later several of the States enac.
ted laws to give it a legal status.
