N. Walnut Street, has received
word from his company's home off
ice in New York that the 600th w.

niversary year.
Mr.. William It. Grant opened his
first store in Lynn, Massachusetts

department in a New England de-
partlnent store, he was intrigued
with the idea that folks would like
store featuring their most want
ed needs at low cash prices, dis
played i'm such a manner that they
could virtually serve themselves.
His first store was such a huge sue
cess, he was prevailed upon to
open a second Grant store in Wa
terbury, Connecticut. two years
later. From that start, the COM
pany's family of stores grew by
leaps and bounds until today, 500
w. It. Grant stores serve thrifty
families in AZ states. More than 20
new Grant stores are expected to
be opened to the public before the
end of the year.
Mr.. Grant still serves as Chair
man of the company's Board of

Cons tructiOn Of New
Building TO House
Greatly Enlarged Fa-
cilities Will Commence
Shortly.

The Board of Directors of the
Milford Memorial Hospital, Inc,
announced this week that 1t had
authorized the construction OF a
new building on the hospital
grounds for the installation of the
greatly enlarged laundry.
The building will be of brick
construction, and the architectural
design will harmonic with that of
the present hospital buildings.
The cost of the new building and
the new laundry equipment which
will be installed in it, will approx
mate S44 100000. The money will be
aiken from the contribution of
$50 10000 which was allocated to
our Milford hospital by the Ford
Foundation. 1t will be recalled that
9ne of the specifications of the Ford
Foundation is that the expansion
Of facilities of the hospital is an
appropriate use for the expenditure
of the Foundations gift.
The Administrator of the Milford
Memorial Hospital, Mr.. Charles E.
Varney, pointed out the urgent of
our hospital for increasing the ca
pacity of the laundry. Obviously,
the trem mendous quantities of lin
ems and garments used in hospi-
tai must be washed daily under
specially controlled conditions that
are not necessary in routine laun-
dry work: and therefore the install
lation of this completely modern
and larger equipment in our hos
pital will represent great adj
vance in the capacity CT our local
institution to better care for the
welfare of patients.
The contract for. the construc-
ton of the new building has been
awarded to John. l.. Briggs, the
we'll known contractor of George
town, Delaware.
Several firms in this area pre-
sented sealed bids, and the lowest
one was accepted by the Board of
Directors.
The new equipment is being fur-
nished by the American Laundry
Machinery Corporation.
The new building is expected to
be completed in January, 1857, and
will be put into operation immedl-
ately.

Hal Haskell
Steps Up His
House toulouse
Campaigning.
Republican Candidate For
Congress Has Spent
Several Days In The
D0wnstate Area Seeing
Many Voters.

Harry G.. Haskell, Jr., Republi-
can candidate for. Congress, STEP
ped up his house-to-house cam
paign during the past week.
Last Saturday, Mr.. Haskell spent
more than six hours i'm Seaford.
He campaigned up and down the
sidewalks of Seaford's business
district and called on many voters
in their homes.
He had previously spent days
campaigning i'm Milford, Selbyville,
and Rehoboth. The Republican
candidate plans to spend at least
two days each week, until election
time, campaigning in communities
throughout Kent and Sussex Coun-
ties.
Last Thursday evening he ad-
dressed $50 Republican workers at
a meeting at the Legislative Build
ing in Dover. At the conclusion of
his address he was given stand
ing ovation.
His time will be divided between
visits to business districts and
calls on voters at their residences.
In a statement last week, the
Republican candidate took issue
with speech made by Adlia Stew
enson. Mr.. Haskell said that Stew
enson had swallowed the Truman
campaign line of business-bait-
ing and pitting group against
group in this country"
"The Democratic candidate never
proposes anything positive for the
American people to compare with
the specific program-documented

dent Eisenhower

ference between the programs of
the two parties. / certainly agree.
President Eisenhower's pro-
gram for Americas future is a
middle-of-the-road program. The
President and the Republican par
ty have faith in our economic sys-
tenn as the best means for creating
new jobs, more opportunities, and
greater job security and prosperity
for everyone. The record of pros
perity for everyone during the last
four years proves the soundness of
this belief.
