Urbana Hospital
Plans Addition;
Will Build Wing

Urbana-Target date for COM
pletion of a 25-bed addition to
Mercy Memorial Hospital here is
the early part of 1858, Sister Mary
Leonard, hospital administrator,
said Sunday night.
Plans and specifications for the
wing to be added to the hospitals
north side are now being prepared
by the architectural firm of Nc
Qualo and Quick of Chicago, she
said. 1t is the same firm which de-
signed the hospital seven years
ago.
Hopes are that the drawings
will be finished within one month
so that they may be submitted to
the superintendent of hospital con-
struction of the Sisters of Mercy
diocese in Cincinnati and then to
the Mercy Memorial Board of
Trustees.
Under this plan, indications were
that seeking of bids would take
place in about two months.
The addition is to include a
ground floor which can be convert
ed into 25 more hospital beds. This
space is to be used for storage al
the start, Sister Mary Leonard
said. When the need arises, the
ground floor area would be avail
able for hospital bed use. In that
respect, the administrix said, the
addition, when fully utilized, would
constitute a 50-bed addition. Ap-
proximate cost is at least $50, 900,
she said.
Money for the addition will be
derived from memorials from es-
tates of DR.. John Norman of st.
Paris and Mrs. John Thompson of
North Lewisburg. Also, a siZable
donation has been made by James
Courtney in memory of the late
Clitus H. Marvin, it was indicated.

The grass, Ries explains, is one
of 3 related plants, sometimes
called lily turf which are used
as grass substitutes or ground
cover plants. The other plants
are Liriope and Ophiopogon. They
will not stand moving, Ries says.
They are hardy in Ohio but are
recommended only for relatively
small patches - a few square
yards in sun or shade, preferably
in shade.

They attend most of the after
school functions to see that every

duties everything about the system
could go wrong. And they are
proud of the fact that things sell

duties are generally up to expecta-

In Nature Of Outing

For John Dioguardi. his ex-
pected appearance before the
Special Senator Labor Commit
tee will be in the nature Of an
outing. He comes to the Sena-
tors on temporary leave from
q New York prison, where he
awaits sentencing for shaking
down two companies for $780,
900 for a labor peace.
Johnny Dio" interests the
committee not as a gangster.
which he has been for most of
his 43 years, but as a labor
leader. a calling he took up
comparatively late in life. Dis
tifct Attorney, Frank Hogan
accused him last spring of try
ing to take over New York's
$4,000 teamsters in behalf Of
his friend James r. Hoffa. vice
president Of the Transfers.
An East Side boy, described
by the adjusting prosecu-
tor Thomas E. Dewey as "a

a cut on every coat and suit
manufactured in New York.
1t was in his first post-prison
period that Dio began to muscle
in on established unions. Some
how-and the committee hopes
to find out exactly how-he
managed to obtain charters for
setting up AFL United Auto

existed, it is said, only on
paper. Diov wanted everyone
to join. Where he met resist

violence.

Playing both sides of the
street he allegedly used his
locals to protect garment indus

to operate as non-union. Dio
collected $1,000 a month for
this help.

was a million dollars a year.
