The Editor.

| Dear Sir: The Hazelton dis-
i trict should be proud of the splen-
| did institution ‘so well known: as
# the Hazelton Hospital. The wri-
1 «ter is familiar with a group of
; hospitals in the Orient, serving.
a or attempting to serve, a popu-
I’ lation equal to that of the United
States, and yet only one of these
possesses equipment equal to our
own institution’s, The X-ray
equipment alone is seldom found
; outside the larger cities, even in

& this favored country.
me The new nurses’ home, recent-
am; ly completed, is a great eredit to
the plant and satisfies a long-felt
need. The nurses’ training school
Mm has sent forth graduates who
@® stand very high in their profes
m sion in this province during the

aa’ last twenty-one years.
oe 8=s Is it any wonder that patients
fe come to us continualiy from points
m along the Canadian National Rail-
way. two hundred miles distant?
From the medical standpoint the

capable. These qualities, com-
bined with conscientious, faithful
‘ work and unselfish service, con-
; stitute a personel of the very
highest type.
° Tmagine us without a hospital,
Meme 6owith tri-weekly train service in
the winter to take one to Prince
Rupert fur urgent medical atten-
tion in case of accident! How
me much would it cost usin suffer-
i - ing, to say nothing of the finan-
cial burden? How many precious
™ lives have been saved through
ax. the years in this district! Hun-
Me, dreds have been helped annually
F whonever evenenter the hospital.
: The annual report, just pub-
lished, clearly shows one of the
hospital’s greatest problems to
be one of finances, caused largely
|, by many unpaid accounts. No-
one is turned away because of
) any inability to meet the neces-
' sary expenses. Theefees charged
me are as low as possible fur the ex-
fee) cellent services rendered, where
mas the expenditureishigh. Far and
Meee ©wide many contribute liberally in
Wee cash and other gifts, helping
greatly to. meet urgent needs.
m, The Women’s Hospital Auxiliary
® has been of great assistance.
m, While efficiency is of primarv im-
"eee! portance, economy is always a
mam) serious consideration.
