FORMAL SERVICES
The new State Hospital for Crip-
pled Children, which was to be opened
for the admission of general cases
yesterday will be dedicated on Sat.
urday, April 12, from 1 to 5 o'clock,
State Secretary of Health Theodore
B. Appel announced Monday night.
There will be no formal exercises,

dations for a large crowd of people,
but visitors will be taken on tours of
inspection in the hospital and will be
given opportunities to see the new
state structure.
Health Department authorities, led
by Dr. Appel and hospital officials,
headed by Dr. Frank Chambers
superintendent, will be in charge of
the dedication. A large crowd is ex-
pected to inspect the new unit.

Over a
of
score of children are pa-
tients at the hospital at the present
time and are being given treatment
there, having been removed from the
Mont Alto state hospital over a week
ago, With the influx of new patients,
the hospital staff of physicians and
nurses will be gradually increased.
One child, suffering a contagious
disease, has been placed in an iso-
