Hospital Drive Sparks Town Campaign for Ellen Fitzgerald
In a big hospital fundraising push set for Monday at 10 o clock, six captains and their teams will gather at the Chamber of Commerce and English Drug Store corner to start a drive toward a $10 000 goal for the Ellen Fitzgerald hospital. A mass meeting at the Methodist church opens the effort with a city wide appeal to contribute, while a blackboard at the drug store will post every subscription.
