Editoriais of this na- ture are always sincerely ap- pneciated by the hospitais, as they tell a story that would flot atherwise be told. The genuine support given by yaur newspaper on behaif of vaur local hospital is most commendabie, and we trust that the article serie.s, "It's Your Hospital", will prove heipful in deveioping a better community appreciation of the job hospi- tais are doing.
