Bapis to of- Haslev of Ken- troe and was for MIGHT IS VOUMG A CHARITY HOSPITAL To the Editor: I would be grateful to you for space in your paper to express my feeling in regard to the money that is to spent in Ouachita parish. I am under the impression that the most needed thing that could he asked for would be a charity hospital. A-that would apply to a greater number of people than anything else, the money could he spent for. 1 find people in need of medical attent on every day who are without funds to pay doctor bills and sanitarium bills.

I am called on most every day to help in cases of that kind. And having been called on so many times I can see the need of a charity hospital. I have often gone with people to the Red Cross to get bus fare or aid in some way when they were forced to go to some ch irity institute to get medical attention. There are more poverty stricken people than at any other time in the past. I feel sure that if we would start at this time, we could secure funds from the government to build a hospital that would not cost over $250,000.

That is a small sum considering the people it would serve in the time to come. An act of the legislature was passed in 1930 authorizing a charity hospital to be built in Monroe, to be known as the North Louisiana hospital. But it was never built, I suppose on account of lack of funds. If we could get it built through government aid I am sure the state could maintain it. Within a few days I will rculale a petition asking the governor to make application for money to build 1 the hospital.

There will be several copies out so that everybody will have a chance of signing it. We hope to get the cooperation of everybody we call upon. This project would be something to be proud of. and would furnish work to a large number of men. 1 think everybody will give us a hand in thus, and by doing so there should not be any trouble in putting it over Very truly yours, J.
