Collectors Chosen for Drive
Collectors have been chosen
for a fund-raising drive in be
half of St. Anthony’s hospital,
O’Neill’s half - million - dollar
medical center which, in a few
months, will be rounding out
two years of service.
The hospital auxiliary plans
to mark national hospital day—
Wednesday, May 12 — with a
drive for funds.
The Sisters of St. Francis, who
own and operate the hospital,
assumed over 150-thousand-aol
lars indebtedness when they
took over the hospital in Sep
tember, 1952. Now that bedding,
linens and other items constant
ly in use are beginning to wear
out, the auxiliary decided to do
something about it. Auxiliary of
ficers are Miss Bernadette Bren
)
o
nan, Mrs. P. B Harty, Mrs. Dale
Fetrow and Mrs. Floyd Wilson.
“No matter what the size of
your contribution, large or small,
it will be gratefully received,”
the officers point out. “Checks
can be made payable to St. An
thony’s hospital, P.O. box 337,
O’Neill, Nebr., and mailed di
rectly to the hospital or given to
the local collectors. Cash dona
tions likewise will be acknowl
edged.
“Many patients have been I
cared for and, no doubt, many
lives saved due to the fact we
have such excellent hospital fa
c.lities. Maybe someone in your
family has benefitted. You never
can tell who may be next to re
quire the services given by
members of the hospital staff.
“All contributions are de
ductible from your income tax.
“Please help us to make this
drive a success,” the auxiliary
officers plead.
O’Neill collectors are Mrs.
Melvin Ruzicka, Mrs. Virgil
Laursen, Mrs. J. J. Berigan,
Mrs. E. M. Gallagher, Mrs. A. P.
■Jaszkowiak, Mrs. Robert Lang
aon, Mrs. Leo Moore, Mrs. Leo

Mrs. C. J. Gatz, Mrs. H. E.
Coyne, Mrs. R. E. Evans, Mrs.
