That doesn't t$ean an atom bomb. It could be a bus or a train wreck, it could be a three-car crash, or it could be a cyclone. And those things CAN happen here. Recently the injured from an accident on Route 14 could only be given first aid at the hospital Stpd then dismissed to be delivered miles away to another hospital that could take them in. Memorial hospital belongs to US; It is in the center of the county and but 20 minutes away from any person at Wonder Lake. We must support it. Half Must Be Raised The drive in the county seeks $375,000, half of the money fie&ded to make up the hospital fund needed. The other half will be supplied by state and county funds if one-half is raised locally. Wonder Lake has a population equal to that of McHenry; and our people have comparable incomes. And yet ' the people of McHenry have pledged triple the amount of money our people have pledged. • Let's not be ashamed of a small pledge. That money can buy a curtain, or a scalpel. Those who can may pledge the $100 pledges. And those wlio can make only the little pledges, should do I .so. Horace Wagner and Kinley Engvalsen, who head the Wonder Lake drive, will be glad tp send a worker to yoiur home, if you have not yet pledged. We hope yott v never need to hospitalise a member of your family. But we hope that if thatp day comes, there will be a bed ready and waiting. The life you save may belong to your own family circle. . , American Legion The membership drive of tlje Legion post ends today --Veterans Day.
