MISS C. WELLWOOD TO WRITE HISTORY OF HOSPITAL AT CHENGTU Tells Mr. Bert Wellwood in Letter that Hospital at Chengtu May Not Be Rebuilt But Is Needed Badly The following letter from Miss Caroline Wellwood, of Chengtu, China, shows that she feels the loss of the. Hospital at Chengtu very keen ly. It is an interesting letter so we .publish "it that our readers may get some ’firstrhand information of that Far East city. The letter came by air mail to _Hong Kong, via steamer to Vancouv er and by train across Canada to Wingham. Chengtu, W. China, June 9th, 1940 Dear Bert and All: I started a letter to you the last day of April but did not get far when I .had;to^lay4 aitt;down, so I said to my- self 'Lwill finish it on his birthday, but ,alas,wthe unexpected certainly happen ed, and before the day had hardly be gun our beloved hospital was in ruins. I must say there were many strange sensations passed over me as we watched it go Up in flames, I had lab ored for it during its years of birth and now saw it go, almost 25 years from the time it was opened. A letter to one of our number said it Jiad been dieTASt.i:i?nrrf ov^“io .that 1 had built the hospital. Well, it is not very far astray, but some.

When a club continually runs up half a doze errors or more and can only get three hits off pitching such as offered by young Goar at Southamp ton, then something is seriously wrong. As usual the Tribe presented a makeshift club, only two infielders being able to, or caring enough to pre sent themselves. After waiting more than ithree-quar- ters of an hour past the regular start ing time for enough Southampton players to show up to start the game, the Tribe weren’t in much humor to play anything. As was to be expected in a town where the players don’t even turn out only a small crowd was pre sent to watch the Hurons’ dismal ef fort. Bill Groves and Ken Goar, both left-handers, started the battle but Bill was out of there in less than two inn ings, Bridgeford finished and he was nicked for four runs in .the eighth and was charged with the loss. A pair of singles, a double and an infield out gave Southampton two runs in the second and Groves decided he had had enough. The Tribe got | those two back in the third when af-( ter Bridgeford had fanned, Rae got a life on Laing’s error. Somers singled to right, moving Rae around to the* far corner and then stole second. Mel-1 lor filed short to the left-fielder but; Bob Groves came through with a long: single scoring both runs. That ended | the Hurons’ offensive threats for the i day. | The eighth was quite a nightmare, ■ the Fishermen scoring four times on i one clean' hit. Chalmers mussed up McKay’s easy roller ito start with and Bridgefbrd failed to field Brannick's soft roller and Kugler’s roller met a like fate, thus filling the bases with none out. Garvey got four straight balls, forcing in McKay with the win ning run. Laing’s grounder *to Mellor forced Brannick at the plate but when Piper’s low drive got away from Gray Kugler and Garvey scored. Laing scored the final run when Bridgeford tossed the ball into right field on Brown’s roller. Goar and Johnston ended the agony by fanning. * * * ♦ Another Debacle Wingham— ( Rae, ss Somers, cf Mellor, lb H. Groves, c Gray, rf ----- Neirgarth, 3b G. Johnson, If Clark, If ----- Chalmers, 2b .

Wilde I was home on furlough Mr. Small went 'ahead with the building, and by the time I returned the roof was on the building and he had also built our res idence. It was while I was home on that furlough I purchased so many of the furnishings in New York, and when I arrived back in Shanghai there were just 48 crates of furnishings awaiting me there. The following February Mr, Small handed the build ing operations over to me, and it took me seven months to complete the building and it was formally opened Sept. 16th, 1915. It surely is a great calamity that all our records are lost. I have given myself a task,, for this summer while in the hills, to write the early history of this place, as I fear there is no one else can do it. The nurses’ home and other buildings around here were all built by myself, even the drawing of the plans. It had made a great place for itself in the life of the city and community and is truly a great loss. Whether it will be rebuilt is a question. Some of us would like to see it go up again, how ever with the new university hospital nearing completion and all our effort and nurses needed there, it is a ques tion as to the advisability-of re-build ing, however there is no question as to the need of a hospital Ift the city. How terrible the situation In Burope these days. It almost staggers one, and what is going to be the outcome? It is hard to believe that a man lik’e Hitler can lead the world to ruin.
