Corry Hospital fund drive nears goal but falls short
Corry Memorial Hospital appeal nears a $550,000 goal with $99,000 still needed. Five divisions mobilize funds, but Industrial Employees Division lags, averaging $30 per employee for three years from an estimated 3,000 workers. Plant workers show better response though short of expectations, while outlying areas begin Phase II next week. Building bids may influence schedule and scope if funds remain tight.
