Mrs. - i Sniedse's complete name was not ("known when the announcement was -! made this week. She is a widow and her sons are Archie, age 18, and Ena, 13. The father was transported to Siberia by the Russians and no word has been received from him for years. Mrs. Sniedse believes he is dead. The family comes to Marion from - j Linville Falls where they were i brought over by Mr. and Mrs. Gur -1 ney Franklin. After residing there i for seven weeks it was found that ®, health conditions made it impos >1 sible to make their home there per f manently. • j The mother was formerly employ ed as a secretary by the Latvian • government before the country was taken over by Russia. Ardnis, the ' oldest son, has had some mechanical J training and the younger son is a • sixth grade student. He has been at r tending Crossnore school and will ' enter school here upon arrival. ] They will reside in an apart ^'ment at 123 South Main street, the I Corbett apartment house. Complete furnishings will be supplied by the Church. ! The committee in charge of mak » ing living arrangements for the fa mily is headed by Mrs. Gordon Mor j ris and S. J. Westmoreland, co chairmen.

Hospital Fund Drive (Continued from first page) beds and 18 bassinets. "Even this overcrowding can't take care of people who need hos pital attention," said Morris. "With ! conditions as they are npw, the Marion General Hospital has space for only one emergency case. We need five more beds for emergen cies alone to meet the MINIMUM safety requirement of the Ameri , can Hospital Association." Originally, it was planned to re model the present building, but af ter thorough investigation, the [ Medical Care Commission's experts [ advised that remodeling the pre . sent structure would be impractical. These experts pointed out that by , raising only $100,000 more in local funds a modern new 60-bed hospital and nurses home could be secured. A $150,000 nurses home will be built adjacent to the nsw hospital, at a cost to the county of only $50,000—or half of the needed $100,000. The Medical Care Com mission has allocated the balance from the state and federal govern ments' building fund. Final plans for the subscription campaign—described as the fairest way to evenly distribute the cost— were made at a meeting of the Board of Trustees at the hospital. ! "We can't afford to miss an op portunity to get adequate hospital facilities for our county," he said. "I hope every person in the county will understand that an investment j in the new Marion General Hos pital will be an investment in some body's health—or life." i Under provisions of the Commis-1 sion's hospital construction pro gram, McDowell county should raise its share of $100,000 by the! ! end of the year or the federal and state funds available may be divert ed to use by another county in need 1 of hospital facilities. In 1948, the present hospital ad mitted 11,710 patients and led all other North Carolina hospitals of similar size in the number of sur j gical cases. Room rates are lower ;;than the state average. j A large number of the hospital's . J patients belong to Blue Cross, or , i other hospital protective plans which the hospital strongly endors ed as the best possible way for pa tients to protect themselves against unexpected hospital and surgical ■ bills. Members of the Marion General Hospital Board of Trustees in addi ':tion to Morris and Cross are: Otis ■ L. Broyhill, Arthur S. Bradford, J. Neal Morris, W. W. Neal, Sr., S. Bruce Hildebrand, C. Jack James, Terry Moore, Joe Noyes, W. S. Shiflet, R. W. Proctor.
