for the ward that has meant so much
to the members of the'r race. It was
beyond the expectation of everyone,

needy and n contribution to keep
the hospital in our community.
Dr. Richard Binion head of
hospital was called to Chicago
meeting of the American College of
Surgeons and could not be present
the people coming from every
section of the county. Throughout
the week the gifts have continued to
ceme It was a great tribute of ap
probation for the hospital and the
doctors who have given so unselfish
ly of their time nnd talent to make
the hospital possible.
Dr. Binion is-ued the following
rtatement:
‘‘We are deeply grateful. We did
not dream that the people of this
city and county felt so much the
work th'B hospital has done. We
feel that the gifts were an expres
sion of appreciation and it gives us
added courage to carry on in our
work. It hns been a Inbor of love,
for the doctors who have devoted
their live? to aid suffering human
ity. There have been times when
could not see our way clear to
tinue when the financial burden was
mo>t pressing, but when an occas
ion like the Hospital Donation Day
cemes, it gives us courage nnd hope,
nnd we w 1! do our best to give to
Milledgevi'le the best hospital ri the
We) appreciate the interest
shown, nnd we will never forget last
Thursday. We find words inadequate
to .ay just how much this occasion
has meant to us.”
