Eldora Banquet to Highlight Year's Progress in Core Stage
Contributions to the Eldora Memorial hospital building fund grow as letters go out to Eldora and Hardin County residents. A $10,000 gift from E B Burling, now a Washington DC attorney, funds a $15,000 drive to expand the hospital by five rooms. A six citizen committee underwrites the goal and funds are held at Hardin County Savings Bank. The project expands capacity by about 25 percent, with construction planned for spring or early summer on a rear addition including a solarium roof. Existing equipment also receives upgrades from a separate $7,000 pool, with most of it already spent on x ray gear, lab tools, and surgical items.
