Several of the local hospital staff and local. practicing physicians are known to have conâ€" tributed such valuable data, and it is hoped that printed copies of these and other papers will be made availâ€" able to the users of the Highland Park hospital Medical library. "Parade of the Decades," showâ€" ing the contrast between old and new fashions will be ‘held at the regulgr monthly meeting of the Presbyterian Woman‘s association to be held next Monday. "Moreover," continued Miss Ibsen, "an adequate medical library will be a means of greatly benefitting our internes, during their terms of residence at the hospital. This, in addition to the practical experience obtained while actively engaged in medical work here, will constitute a contribution to the training of these young men for their chosen careers in the field of medicine and surgery. It will be m contribution of which the hospital board and Highland Parkers may have good reason to be proud." "With this splendid beginning wt now have visual incentive to striv for the fulfillment of a long felt need in our hospital, namely: a comâ€" plete and upâ€"toâ€"date medical library, where all medical men in the comâ€" munity may avail themselves of the latest works and papers on vital deâ€" velopments in the field of medicine and surgery.

Nieter, president of the Highland Park Lions Club, believes that this getâ€"together will benefit each of the clubs. "Such a gathâ€" ering," he said, "should bring the clubs in this district ¢loser together and be an inspiration to the memâ€" bers to go out and build up their organizations. Lions clubs in this district have accomplished many worthy objects and have helped in the work for the blind and needy. When the work of other clubs is known, we ‘can get |a picture of what Lionism really means." Dr. Daniel Weston Rogers, whose medical library constitutes the start of this enterprise, was well known and is affectionately remembered by many of this community. For a considerable period of time he was public, health officer for Highland Park. He was a general practitioner her:eé:r many years and was highâ€" ly arded both as a citizen and a practitioner by those who came in contact with him.
