Lions Protest Removal of Vet Hospital at Huntington
The Huntington Lions Club filed a protest with Washington over moving disabled World War I veterans from the Huntington State Hospital to Camp Sherman Ohio. They argue the local facility offered cost efficient, specialized care under Dr Guthrie, with no operating overhead for the government, and urge authorities to maintain the current arrangement. The club plans to cable officials and coordinate with Charleston Lions to oppose the change. A meeting included remarks by RG Merrick and musician Marcus Cohn with Hazel Lynn at the program.
