Thanksgiving Day is "Donatien
Day" et numerous hespitnls and insti
tutietis. It is net ncccsarily an up
peal for money, but rather for pre
visions and feedstuffs, or for clothing
nnd enrments essential in the conduct
of these organizations.
Supplementing the appeal usually
made for feedstuffs nnd previsions, the
Episcopal Hospital this year is ap
pealing for subscriptions of money.
Hospital lecerds show that the institu
tien cared for ."00 mere patients this
year than during any preceding one. Se
heavy hove been demands nf the in
stitu'tinn that it hns been able te con
tinue its work only by "borrowing"
from its endowment fund.
' Hospital Asks Aid
Jeffersen Hospital has selected the
day ns its annual dniMitien dny. Gifts
nf'meney, sickroom supplies, blankets,
linen, muslins, drugs nnd feed supplies
nre requested. Attention in 'cnlled te
the fnet that financial support of the
hespitni has dhcrensed end that the
charitable demands made en the bes
pltnl are unusuiJIy heavy. The cost of
hospital supplies and maintenance have
risen te a point where practically everv
hospital loses money even en the pa
tients who pay for their treatment and
accommodations.
The Salvation Army held its usual
dinner te peer ihildren today. The
Knights of Columbus distributed
gifts. The Volunteers of America, the
Rescue Workers, the F.plscopel City
Mission, the Hethesdn Mission, (he
Galilee Mission and many similar or
ganizations are doing their part te
make the day a happy one for the
needy.
