Board of Trustees For IVemorial Hospital Appointed ed by an endowment which provides for tjie board, laundry, and hospital care of each and every patient who is financially unable to pay his or her expenses. This latter gift comes from the interest of a huge trust fund and is perpetual. This endowment does not have to be matched by a similar appropriation of Madison County. James B. Duke was simply making sure that the hospital would be self supporting. In order to fur ther safeguard the future of the hospital and to explain fully the plan of management, the following plan has been elaborated, 1st. Appointment of Trustees who will with the erection of the hos pital automatically become Board of Managers. The men suggested for this board 'tare prominent business men of unquestionable honesty who it is believed will have the interest of the people at heart. The following men are suggested for appointment: Oakley Rector, Sherman Ramsey, Roy Gudger, E. R. Tweed, Judge P. A. McElroy. The hospital income will be derived from operating room fee, xray fee, Board and room, ambulance, and laboratory. The fees thus col lected by the superintendent, who is responsible to the board - of trustees provides for the upkeep of the hos pital. Working in unison with the board of trustees -will be the med ical staff composed of She physi cians of the Madison County Med' ical Society. A . social "worker will work in conjunction with the phy sicians!' Thus the potential hospital patients, who according to. statistics total 30 in Madison at all times will be provided fori Of th 80 patients who : are potentially hospital cases, it is estimated that Jess than SO per cent aver reach a hospital The re lief of such a deporable situation was the vision of the late Mr. James B. Duke. He did his part,, let's do ours and make the vision a reality. Jtones&visHaifS I love the open country With the sunrise on her breast, Wheh summer days, like soldiers.

The cat showed no signs of hydrophobia and was thought to be suffering from pneu 'monia: It was sick about three weeks and bit Mrs. Legare just a "Short time before its death. She became suspicious because of the fact that the cat was unusual ly very affectionate and had nev er bps n at all vicious. An analy sis was made of the cat's head and it was found to have been suffering from rabies. The cat was a very fine German imported cat and was a great pet in the I family. Mrs. Legare is now taking the Pasteur treatment. It is not known how the cat contracted the rabies, but there have been a number of dogs in the community killed for hydrophobia.
