TWENTY DIED IN SERVICE
Nearly S2."i,000 has beon subscribed,
nnd committees working on the collec
tion of funds expect to ncqnlre that
much more for the purchase of property
and founding of n hospital on the "liny-n-ood
property, Tennis rond and Beth
lehem pike, Ambler, as a memorial to
the men who entered tho service from
that district.
Tho movement is being backed by the
Colony Club, of Ambler, of which Mrs.
Robert Itolston is president. Mrs. Ood
frcy 8. Mnhn is chairman of the hos
pital committee. The Haywood prop
erty will be purchased and work of re
modeling tho Colonial house which now
stands there will begin as soon as the
50.000 goal is reached. ,
The hospital is to contain charity
beds kept up through subscriptions or
endowments and pay wards. After the
$fiO,000 has been raised' to establish
the Institution It is expected that other
larger gifts will be made to aid In the
upkeep. Thysiclans In the district
have indorsed the movement and are
doing all In their power to help. More
than 200 names were affixed to the peti
tion for a charter.
"Wc feel," said Godfrey S. Mfthn,
one of the men Interested In the project,
"that a hospital will be a splendid thing
for tho district. At present the nearest
nn U ton miles distant. TVc recognized
tho great need for one here when there
wai a wreck on tho Heading last win
ter and patients had to be carried for
many miles. The Idea oE tho institu
tion Is not a new one, but tho women
let the issue drop during the war cam
paigns and many driveB for money
during the winter and early spring. Now
they are heart and soul In it and will
not stop until they have accomplished
what they hope for,
"It seemed only fitting that the hos
pitnl should be a memorial one. Most
of the women Interested In It were nr
tiv1v Intcrnntpil In the war from the
beginning kulttlng and sewing and doing
nil (n their ivner to help. More than
nor ,n wnt from this district. About
tventv died in service. A bronze me
morial tablet will be placed on the lawn
of the hospital. It will bear the honor
roll M
At a meeting next Monday evening
of the Colony Club hospital committees,
names and officers for the hospital will
bo suggested and further plans made.
Among tho men and women actively in
terested In the project are Mr. and Mrs.
It. V. Mattlson, Sr. ; Mr. and Mrs. II.
V. Mattlson, Jr.; Mrs. Jacob Eck
.ij m. Morris Haywood. Harold

May look odd to you that we reduce prices on any kind of men's clothing when mill and market prices are bound to be higher. But it's not odd just the
Gimbel way of driving business and keeping stocks in order. .
As long as forewarned buying of materials protects you and gives us our legitimate profit, you benefit in the lower price; and we benefit in your satisfaction.
When we have to pay more, prices here neces
sarily will go up a notch and then we work for
mutual benefit on the new price level.
