' Richard Oblender, president of the hospital board of directors, today issued an appeal to all mem- bers of the community to support the campaign. “The General Hospital is a civic asset, in the same category as our schools, police and fire depart- ment,” Oblender commented. “It is a vital part of the community to which it turns for support. “We don’t pay the policeman sclely for that infrequent occasion when we might need him person- ally. And we cannot maintain the hospital solely for the time once or twice a year when we may need ite services for an emergency call or a needed operation. “Few of us go through a lifetime without spending a period in the hospital. In fact one of eight per- sons enters a hospital once a year. The hospital stands ready every day of the year and every minute of the day to render every type of care that medical science can pro- vide. cet Authorities Seek Ontionon20 Acres The Donegal Jaint School Board will take immediate steps to secure a site selected for its proposed new $1.200,000 high school building.
