of the Soviet secret police com

"The name Is the same and the

TULELAKE When a public
hearing Is held here Mar. 20 on
a proposed Joint-county hospital, It
will be an approach never tried In
this area before, according to

Siskiyou General Hospital Is in

NEED
Tulelakers have seen the need
for a hospital In this area in the

successfully accomplished. At one

The proposed district never

A large amount of hospital equip
ment and supplies were made avail

Newell War Relocation Center was
closed up, but was lost when a
hospital setup failed to form within
a required period o! time.
Stearns fieures the Tulelake area
could afford a hospital costing:
about $300,000. He said that should
be enough to nrovide 16 beds.
COST SHARES
Under California law, the state
would provide one-third of the
cost; the federa! government would
add another $100,000 and Siskiyou
and Modoc Counties would provide
$50,000 each for the hospital.
