Now if you don't get a call from her, give her a ring. She will be most happy to get any news you might have for the paper. It will be in good hands. Good luck, Phil, and Pll keep in touch.

Peter Pierdinock, executive director of the Planning council, announced that results of a hos­ pital questionnaire have been tabulated and in early 1970, which will pin point critical areas in the Valley's health care facilities and provide direction for the planning group. Sherman administrator, Har­ old W,. Salmon, and John A. Graham, assistant administra­ tor, submitted the hospital's proposal for new construction, planned for early 1970, es­ timated to cost $3 million. It was pointed out that the Metro­ politan Planning Council of Chi­ cago has recommended that Sherman give first priority to the addition of eighty patient beds to relieve the shortage of medical and surgical beds in the area. Special guests at the council meeting were Don Goetz, as­ sistant director of the National Accelerator laboratory under construction at Weston, and also Ivan Alton, chief planner and architect of the project. Mr. Goetz spoke briefly on the impact of the laboratory on the area. He stated that 1,700 persons will be employed, one-third of whom will be new to the area. The remaining num­ ber will be technicians, sec­ retaries, typists, and clerks hired from adjacent commun­ ities. Mr. Alton presented slides of the 6800 acre^site, showing pre­ sent constrdction and plans for completion of the laboratory, which will consist of 26 build­ ings.
