that one can take real medical service

more than bricka and njortatr to make
a hospital. One has to have all the
equipment which goes to make up a
modern hospital, and while the bricks
and mortar and the equipment are
important, they are worthless unless
you have the personnel to handle this I
equipment and treat the patients. In1

our outlying hospitals with needed

the psychiatric unit itself,will help
correct the difficult we are having
with our mentally sick; in foct, the

of this health plan. It has been eaid:
many times by the opponents of this
