as private schools but
this was net successful and
had to be taken over by
the state. This is Socialism, he
continued, but it is good social¬
and not to be feared and
certainly far, far different
Communism
Mr. Lanham tied in this
need of the states running our
and the need of the
Federal and State gove:n-
ments, to assi-t the counties
and the people in the counties
to finance the buildine of ade-
quate hospital facilities. He
spoke cf the contributions of
the 5 'counties and of the people
in %>e three counties who had
faith that we now could dedi -
c ate this hospital. He closed
w itli these words, "I hereby de-
dicate this fine new - hospital to
the health and welfare of the
people of this area.’’

After the Benediction by
Rev. Gordon Sterchi, Pastor of
the Simpson Memorial Meth¬

of the people did stay to inspect
the hospital and what they saw
amazed them. There is so
much color everywhere, low-

and delivery rooms to

and bright dark colors

in patterened wall caper in-
cf draperies came in for
delighted comment.
The people saw wonderful
vw intricate X-ray machines
operating room equipment and
nany things most of us didn
understand or know the use of.
They saw a compact well ar
ranged kitchen with modern
machinery to make the serving
of meals faster and the making
of them easier. They may have
even the autopsy room and the
emergency auxiliary electric
unit which automatically goes
on if the electric power gees
off.
There were no guided tours
but members of the ho pital
staff were everywhere to an¬
swer questions and you ccuM

move on or loiter to see some¬
thing which interested you.
