<-' v YFK!:D AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AUGUST 20. 1928, AT THE POST OFFICE AT TP YON'. M. r... TINDER THE ACT OF CONGRESS MARCH 8. 1879 ©jt ©grm 13 atltr J&ulhtin Vol 8 TRYON, N. C., WEDNESDAY', FEB. 13, 1935 COSTS $17,000 TO O The budget for St. Luke’s hos pital for 1935 calls for $17,850. Source of income has been listed as follows: Full pay patients $6,000 Part pay patients 3,000 Out patients 350 Duke Foundation 1,554 County contribution 1,200 Personal contributions 5,846 | The above figures show how much the Duke Foundation will give and about how much can be expected from patients, the county and other sources. The PERSONAL contributions show how much the public must give in order to keep the hospital going. About half of the $5,846 has already been sub scribed. We must raise nearly $3,000. It would be a shame to Hose St. Luke’s hospital because 9,000 people in the county could not raise the $3,000 needed. Mr. Businessman look back over those figures. Do you get any of the hospital’s trade? Look at those figures again. See how much you would lose if the hospital closed its doors. There would be a loss of $9,350 from patients’ fees. We wouldn’t get the $1,554 from the Duke Foundation; nor the $3,000 . contributed by people interested in } the welfare of Tryon. They would f spend this money on some other MR. STORY’S BROTHER C. O.

Story, the deceased is survived by his parents, Mr. lamd Mrs. A. G. Story. BASKETBALL RESULTS Last night at Inman: Tryon girls, 14; Inman 26. Tryon boys, 35; Inman 30. ‘ERATE HOSPITAL worthy causes. Over eighty per cent of the hospital trade is spent locally. Looking at it selfishly, could we afford to lose SI,OOO a month in trade? From a civic pride standpoint can we afford to tell people that James B. Duke, a man who loved North Carolina so well that he gave millions to help suf fering humanity and helped build a hospital at Tryon, but 9,000 Polk county people were not interested enough to raise a few dollars each to keep it going? Can we afford to say that a lot of New England Yankees, tourists and Northerners who have no business connections here but out of the goodness in their hearts donated half the amount needed to complete the budget, but that Tryon business men who profit by the hospital trade wouldn’t raise the other half? Knowing the bigness of the av erage Tryon business man I know they will not fail in the hospital campaign. They are improving their stores, giving better services and the most reasonable prices. The hospital in come is a part of our bread and butter as well as an agent of mercy to relieve our suffering people all over the county. It is our hospital. Let’s keep it going! YARN AT COOPER’S GAP Attendants at the Cooper Gap Health House are being taught crocheting and knitting. Anyone having yarn, worsteds or any crocheting and knitting material to donate, it would be appreciat ed if it is left at Missildine’s Pharmacy. AT LINCOLN DINNER Fred E. Swann and R. L. Mc- Neely, prominent local Republicans attended the Lincoln Day dinner in Asheville Monday night. Est. 1-31-28
