H1e said this in itself would improve medical care for ailini the area. H1e argued that the area needed a hospital with 100 beds.

Polonsky wished for the economic and well bcing of his graduates and it was a "Ço get lcm challenge with God's speed. t was an cncouraging note te hear from the lips of Polonsky that employment of grads from Durham was up by two hundrcd percent and that the guaranece offered by Durham of qualified grads was appearing to be working. H1e said Durham College was the only College in 'rio providing employers and ý-rraduates with such a guarantee.
