‘General interest is being taken '

in the campaign for funds to

provide an X-ray plant and elec-
tric lighting system for Hazelton’

Hospital. The people of the

share towards raising the neces-
sary amount.

stallation of a modern plant,.

pumping and other purposes, the —
_| advisory. board, ata special meet-

ing on Monday evening, decided

be asked to contribute liberally. .

pected to assist, while the Meth-
odist Chureh, which is respon-

sible for the maintenance of the |

Hospital, will also be called upon.

While the greater part of the
large sum required will undoubt-
edly come from..these sources,
residents in the ‘large “district
served by the hopital are being
asked to mark their appreciation
of its great value to the ‘district
by contributing a fair proportion
of the cost of the new equipment.

Dr. Wrinch and those associated

with him are confident that the

response to the call for. funds
will’ be prompt and. liberal, and

. _ | that’ the, amueh-needed: improve. ~ °
ments will. be installed and:paid |

for in the very near future.
