Kinkel, of the Buffalo Ankerite, Mr. F.C. Evans, Mr. Jcohn Fell, Dr. MclLaren and Dr. Kinsman. The name will be the Porcupine Generâ€" al Hospital and the site the Foley O‘Brien hill or vicinity. A definite campaign is to be launched early in August for funds. Each person will be approached and if the people show by their interest and subscriptions that they want a hospital it will be an acâ€" complished fact The mines will do their share. Plans have been drawn up and have been for some time in the hands of the directors. A larger hosâ€" pital at this end of the camp is a growing necessity for while we are grateful for the hospital we now have, all are cognisant of the fact that it is not big enough to fill the needs of our community. More definite and fuller details of this campaign will be given later. Before the inauguration of the camâ€" paign for membership a detailed reâ€" view of the purposes and plans of the Porcupine General Hospital Associaâ€" tion will be given to the people of the communitits to be served. In the south Porcupine column of The Adâ€" vance there is a reference this week to‘the matter and further details will With the idea of having a communâ€" ity hospital for the east end of the camp, it is planned to start a camâ€" paign to raise the necessary funds. This campaign will commence within the next couple of weeks. It may be said that all the mines are behind the plan and will give it the fullest support. Indsed, it is understood that the mines concetrned will give support fully equal to that shown by the people of the comâ€" munity. Accordingly, it is not too much to say that the extent and type of the hospital service will be restricted only by the extent of the support of the community. bisggest event yet ol have a big crowd there Plan 25â€"Bed Hospital for East of Camp (Continued from Page One) that conditions were different now and under the new circumstances the hosâ€" pital could scarcely come under the head of a Mission hospital. The buildâ€" ing was in need of repair and extension and larger additions were needed to the accommodation than the Mission Board felt it could assume. Conseâ€" quently the Presbyterian Missicon Board would like to be relieved of the obligaâ€" tion. As a resull â€"of the negotiations the South Porcupine hospital was turnâ€" ed over to the Porcupine Hospital Asâ€" sociation After a careful study of the situation and the needs, the association finds that a new hospital, fully equipâ€" ped, is required.

This did not do any damage aside from splashing the autoâ€" mobiles of a few motorists who did not go through it slowly. It was caused, not by a blocked sewer but by the fact that the sewer was just not big enough to accommodate the water it was reâ€" quired to carry. Road surfaces were washed away or partly so in several parts of the town. HStreets where that happened were Eighth avenue near Ray street, North Cameron street and Main street. J. D.
