"As chief of staff of the Char- lottetown Hospital, I am only too well aware of the 'very pressing financial problems with which the institution is faced. The decision to conduct our appeal for funds at this time could not be post- poned without serlously affecting the operation of the hospital and thereby jeopardizing our present health standards. We are proud of our hospital and the up-to-date medical facilities it is providing for the people of our Province. However, we must not overlook our responsibility to see that the hospital facilities and .accommo- dation which safeguard our health are paid for.

"I am happy to give my whole- he'arted s ort to Bishop Boyle's building f d and I feel confident that my professional associates. the members of our parish com- mlttees and the friends of the hospital will do their utmost to make our present appeal an out- standing success." ,
