EXTRA COMMUNICATION There will !v? an extra Communication of Clinton Lodge No. 3, A. F. M.t Monday evening, June 14th. Work in the First degree. H. S. Howie, Secretary. THE ABBEVILLE COUNTY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL The building stands with its rough * brick exterior, but its shapely design ' diows the marta of good architecture, * and is pleasing to the eye for its strength and beauty. A The interior is practically finished. * The walls ard -^ood work are13 white as snow, and smooth as satin. J r The operating room is beautifully j' tiled, and wonaarfully lighted. The s private rooms *nd wards afe larger( and better Jigbted and ventilated T than in hospitals in most places. |c Any one havi?ig the interest of Ab^ ?' ~ c beville at nearr, couia nox; neip duv feel a thrill of pride in walking thru 3 the building. J 8 The first floor is fine, the second t still finer, and the third the finest of *1L |c The Abbeville County Memorial 1 Hospital is worthy of its name. j1 What we have told you about the!r appearance of the building is only j * what will see. We want you to see more than the * bright rooms, the white clean walls, e and the beauty of architecture. We want you to not only see, but' * feel, what this Hospital is, and what ; it stands for. The building as you1 r see it represents work, thought, time! j and worry. It represents courage I 5 purpose, determination and strength. Tf MUTOoanto +Vio Kocf pflForfca nf ^ those who are trying to complete itj * . and who are going to see it through, not for money gains, but for human ^ ity. , Why is it that it is so hard to raise money for a Hospital in Abbeville? I 0 Everybody says a hospital is a good thing?No one says we do not ^ need one. j Is it because it's a good thing and^ ^ we ought to have it; but "let the oth-1 i J) cr fellow furnish the money?" That's not fair. I ? There has been lots of get-togeth- ? er talk in Abbeville recently. We need another mill. We need ji .numerous small enterprises. j|| A knitting1 mill would help?A j! mattress factory would be good. Just || any thing, so it's an enterprise. || Anybody can say we snoutd pull Ij :ogether, but when the call for cash jj comes, it does not come freely. / The Hospital has been sending out f! tiisLrcso signals for lielp. It takes ?1 rr.oney, and lot.t? jf it,?but it's not II I = coming. ' !ss Shouid a few individuals build a II .5| hospital for Abbeville County, which || will help all the people? This hospital is not built nor op- II crated for dividends, but for the bet- || ter health and life of the people of || Abbeville County through better and |I more scientific medical service. Some people say?"It's up to the f| Doctors to build a hospital." Why is it up to the doctors 1 to |j build hospitals any more tnan its the f] lawyers' business to build the Court f| Houses, or the ministers' business to = build the Churches? j? The doctors are taking stock, but they are not millionaires. j You see our doctors running Ford cars now. It looks easy. | People pay their bills. A doctor iooks like the government mint?1L perhaps. j Look back a few years wnen there were no Fords. When the mud was up to the axles?the weather was _ never too cold?it never rained too1' uard. The night was never too darl^' t the road was never' too long. The1* elock never turned it's hand to bed-J time, dinner time, or time for an evening at home. When business people were at home with their wives and babies, the doc-1 ' I tor was all alone, driving a tired , i ' horse to see some man, woman or| child?and he did not get paid all the time, either. The people owe the doctors a hos-^ ;>ital more than the doctors owe it to :he people. Some people say they do not feel 'ike giving because it is a Corporation, and the stockholders will get the profit. If you look it it that way, why not^ take stock, and be one of the stocfc talders? Some people say the hospital shoul t>e owned by the City and not by i Few individuals. The hospital ha :>een offered to the City as a gift vith the understanding that the cit; complete and operate it. This offe las not been accepted. A hospital can be anything yoi nake it. It can be run for profit th< ;ame as any other business proposi ;ion, but this Abbeville county Me norial Hospital was never starte< vith any idea in view, except t< nake it a blessing to the human be ngs who need it.
