‘Monday April lst is the opening date o! the drive for a new Hospi- pltal tor Prince County. The pres- ent. Hospital dates back to the year 1912 with 20 bcds-—tho growth since that time has been stcady—— in 1920 an annex was erected which increased accommodations to 50 beds; today the total number of beds is 63; avoragenunibci- of patients treated daily is 85. It is

ound now that the present hos- Jital is far inadequate for tht-‘num- 1's!‘ of patlcnts seeking admission This has bccn a matter uf concern .0 the Trustees for the past tlircc rears, as daily, patients have been refused admission duo in tiic lack af accommodation, Now it has been deemed absolutely necessary that this existing condition be remedied and a drive for a dew up-to-date Prince County Hospital of 100 beds has been planned and the. people of Prince County will be asked to contribute to this worthy! undertaking. The amount required, ls 300,000.00 dollars. ‘ Prince County can bc justly

stitutlon Dr. Simpson elaborated on what e believed tho increased demand or h tallutlon to be caused by. He dsmissed tho idea that the rush at: the Prince County hospital was due to war conditions. “People ace- eflﬂfning more hospi- tal odpido - e said. "Many eoplb- hlva purchased accommo- atidn lnradvanee by means o! Blue Cross and can now afford to go to a hospital. Even if they are not very sick they take the atti- tuna that their hospitalization is paid for and they might as well make llSg of it. Another thing," he continued, "is that nearly all workmen are now insured by some lorm of Workmen's compensation." Dr. Simpson stated that in his opinion a 100 bed hospital would be a very conservative estimate the needs of the county and it should be connructcd in such a way that it could be enlarged‘ if conditions permit.

Turning to particular phases of the matter he said that up to now, due to lack of space it ha: really only been possible to hanble emer- gency cases. There has been n0 robin to bring Ln can of chronic illnesses for gape!‘ and complete investigation. r. Simpson said he understood that.one member of the staff will, in the new hospital, de- vote his full time as an internist to the study of these cases in or- der that a proper diagnxbis may be carried out. Certain other ‘depart- ments have also been more o! leu neglected he said. Owing to lack of operating room space the sur- geons have not had an opportunity to give proper study and- thought to certain types of kidney diseases. The new hospital should have two or three operating rooms for minor surgery and special services luch u eye, ear, nose and throat work. .

How critical the sltuatiodreally is was first brought id light. at lhl‘ annual meeting of the Board of Trustees two years ago vhen Dr. J. C. Simpson and Dr. W.B, How- ait. spoke‘ out in protest of tho con- ditions as thcy exist. The matter was again brought. up last your and'thc hoard of trustees den dad to take some action, Early this win- ter they decided to build a hospi- tal of 100 hundred bed: to. coll about. one-half million dollars. Plans were immediately started to hold a financial campaign to raise $300,000.00 of this amount. Mr. C. B. Morris was placed’ in charge of the drive and extensive prepara- tions haw.- been made to put the appeal over during the month o! April and sign points to its tilti- mate success. Half of this amount Ia to be raiscdi from n canvas; oi special names and it is underltood‘ that the committee in charge feel that this amount will he subscribed. The balance has to be given by the people of the count and it is hop- ed that all will ice that they have a share in this great rcuponsibll- it? and will give us to the utmost’ o their ab llty.
