In the tourist area, American -dollars was the preferred currency, rather than their own pesos or Canadian dollars. Sy MARY CHESSELL Varna A canvass for the Clinton Hospital building fund for the obstetrical wing will be held during the week of April 27. Fourteen volunteer canvassers are needed for Stanley Township. We are fortunate to have this well- equipped hospital in our community. Since the new emergency depart- ment was built, patient services have increased. The fact that patients' sometimes have to be kept temporari- ly in a hall points to the need for more space. Shelley McPhee Itaist's col- umn in the News -Record last year on conditions she found when her baby was born alsobears out the need for better facilities.
