~ Continued from Page 1
pressed desire to se@é as many mem
bers as possible,

Speaking of the new hospital he
srid, that the object. was to make it
the most uptodate - institution ‘in the
province, and he believed that this Had
been accomplishd. The , hospital was
very much larger and: at was goltg’ to
cost considerably more ‘to operate, but
nothing like as muc¢h-in proportion os
did the ‘old building. “When he ig ask-
ed where he will ‘get the money to run
this bis institution he ‘answers th:
he does not know: _ But, :he said, in
the past the people of: the. Hazelton
district have never been known to fall
down on anything thy had undertaken
and he felt every. confidence that the |;
funds would be forthcoming in future
just-as surely as they wera-in the days

-gone by. .He*was ‘proud ‘of the new
building and he -belleved that much
benefit would result. to the people of
the district: through it and the medern
equipment, :

In regards to. the suggestion. madc
iy one speaker and concurred in by
others that the new hospital be called
the “WWrinch Memorial Hospital’ the
Doctor informed the Herald that he
did’ not consent to any such thing.
firmly believed that’ there were. many
yenrs of good service in him yet, and
he had no intention’ of Yetiring. He
did not think o memorial was yet in

order.
