Executive Busy
OnHospital Plans
The executive of the South
Huron Hospital Association con
sidered it advisable to refrain
from active promotion of the
campaign for hospital funds dur
ing the holiday season and the
busy time for the workers in
town and country. But now that
the fall season is approaching,
preparations for a renewal of the
campaign are being made, and
it is hoped that all canvassers
will be ready to renew their ef
forts to complete the work.
In the meantime, the execu
tive has been busy with the pre
liminary work to commencing
operations The charter for the
hospital has been secured, the
site has been surveyed, and the
detailed plans and specifications
are being prepared in consulta
tion with the Department of
Health of the Ontario, Govern
ment.. As soon as the plans are
ready, tenders will be asked for
the erection of the building.
It is essential that the Board
of Provisional Trustees be in a
strong cash position before the
active building operations are
commenced. The board is, there
fore, asking that the remaining
overdue notes be paid, that all
notes be paid promptly as they
become due, and that all sub
scribers, who have not paid,
make their arrangement for pay
ment at a very early date.
Subscriptions now amount to
over $9 3,000, of which nearly
two-thirds is in cash.
Tlie sum of $27,000
tional subscriptions is
and this is the amount
canvassers are asked to
In the meantime, the organiza
tions are working toward their
objective for the furnishing of
the bedrooms, and some of them
are making fine progress.
The executive submits this
summary so as to bring the peo
ple of this community up-to-date
on the Hospital Campaign.
