The entrance room was pan
eled, and a kitchen was placed
at the front of the house adj
jacent to the entrance room.
The living room was located
at the rear, so that it could
overlook a brick-paved dining
terrace and garden.
On the second floor is a
large hall and master bed
room, plus bath. Two rooms
and bath were placed on the
third floor.
Originally the house was
built on brick piers. and had
no bathroom or central heat
ing. To accommodate a gas
fired hot-water heating plant
and to provide a storage and
laundry room, ground was
excavated for a partial base
ment.
New siding at the rear is
of 8-inch flush pine boards
with beading at the tongue

When the restoration work
started six months ago, the
house had a lean-to kitchen
that was not part Of the orig
inal structure. This was re-
moved entirely.
A skylight was built for the
third-floor bathroom and a
new tin roof, cutters and
downspouts were installed. The

a good time to stop to think of
the work of our local hospital.
Montgomery County General
is a community-owned 59-bed hos
pital with modern equipment. In
1854 almost $500 patients were
admitted. 1t has a maternity
wing with 16 maternity beds and
II bassinetS. Last year $40 babies
were delivered. It's formula room,
the first of its kind installed in
this area, is a model one. The
labor.room is air-conditioned, and
one of the next projects is air
conditioning for the delivery
room and the main operating
room.
The laboratory is another busy
spot. More than 10000 tests were
made in 1854. The X-ray depart
ment is efficiently conducted,
with a record of some 400 X-rays
taken in a year.
The saying that Gan army
moves on its stomach" is no less
true of hospitals. Montgomery

25th year with the hospital, is
