The People Want the Hospital
If ny doubt existed In the minds of the coun
ty court and the hospital committee relative to
the demand for the proposed county hospital
that doubt was removed Monday afternoon by
a delegation of citizens which met at the court
house at the invitation of the court to discuss
the question of building now with available
funds or waiting until a larger sum can be
procured. The demand is for immediate con
struction, nr just as soon as plans can be worked
out to make the money in hand cover the cost
of a building that will be adequate.
When the hospital project was first started It
was estimated that between $60,000 and $70,000
would be sufficient and after some Investigation
.the estimate was raised to $100,000 to cover pos
sible increases in material and labor costs. It
was not the plan in the beginning to build at
an early date but to include a county hospital
in a list of postwar projects. Funds were to be
raised by a two mill tax each year for a period
of five years. The proposal was accepted almost
unanimously by the voters, many of whom ap
parently felt that the hospital would be built at
once. When it was learned that this was not the
case a demand went up for payment In full of
the other eight mills and this, too, met favor
with a heavy majority of the taxpayers. With
the money in hand the hospital committee set
about getting plans and choosing a site. The
site selected was an outright gift and the plans
drawn to fit the site over-reached the funds
about $80,000.
Learning that suggested grant by the govern
ment could not be acquired prior to July 1, 1948,
the court and committee decided to ask that the
additional funds be included in the annual bud
get, which was done but which the taxpayers
did not approve. This left the officials with no
alternative but to learn the attitude of the peo
ple on whether to build now or wait until more
funds could be obtained.
It may not be possible to put up as much of
a building as some seem to think Is required, yet
a smaller beginning may prove the best in the
long run. If a few beds have to be sacrificed at
this time and the demand grows for additional j
space there is little doubt but that it will be '
added. It must not be forgotten that the officials ;
are charged with the duty of building a hospital :
with public funds. They are not to be criticized '.
too severely if they take a little time in trying
to make the funds do a good job.
4-H Club Work Handicapped
One of the regrettable consequences of failure j
to approve the county budget is the handicap !
placed upon the 4-H club work. As of July 1
the work has been without a leader due to dis
continuance of the home demonstration agent
office. During the past year, under the splendid
guidance of Miss Katherine Monahan, some 300
young people engaged in the various projects
and with such good leadership there is no doubt
but that within another year this county would
have been well on the way to an equal footing
with other counties that have maintained lead
ership in this work for many years.
We are sometimes shortsighted or permit bias
to guide our actions and cause the innocent to
suffer. In this instance it is the young people,
that segment of our population which will be
the leaders of tomorrow and who should be
given every opportunity to prepare themselves
for that duty, who are the forgotten ones.
Remember to Be Careful
Most of America's thirty million automobiles
will be on the highways this week end and it
will be nothing short of marvellous if we do not
read of hundreds of deaths from accidents. Peo
ple will be traveling long distances and will be
bearing down on the accelerator in an effort to
cut those distances short. Those with clear eye
and unfogged brain will not need to worry about
their own ability to get through safely but must
constantly be on the alert to dodge the fellow
who is In the habit of mixing gasoline and al
cohol. Enough accidents happen from natural causes,
but when King John Barleycorn sits in the driv
er's seat the record grows extremely bad.

Yes, there an easier way to farm. It's the new Powr-Trol
way! John Deere has created another source of tractor power
and put it to work for you ... to raise and lower all your inte
gral and drawn equipment ... at a touch of your hand on a
convenient lever!
Powr-Trol is the nearest thing yet to completely automatic
operation oj tractor equipment. It's faster, too, and enables you
to do better work because a touch on the same lever also ad
justs your implement to any desired setting, without stopping
or even slowing down.
Here's an outstanding new John Deere development that
sounds the keynote for tomorrow's farming. Get nil the facts
on it at our store the next time you're in town!
