The views of a number of citizens of this community are given as follows: Geo. D. Haymond When Adam's side was opened and a rib removed to make a woman, there was a surgical operation. To this very day, surgical operations are necessary to carry on this life and in order to properly perform a surgical operation, it is necessary to have the patient in a suitable place where skill and the proper care can be rendered to best advanWhy not have NEPHI? a on'y has to reflect fo.r a moment to think of what could be avoided and possibly a life could be saved if such a hospital could be reached within a few minutes instead of a few hours. It seems to be that the time has come when the maintainance of a hosptial is a public necessity from a human standtpoint I realize that to fully equip and maintain such an institution will be quite a burden from a financial standpoint, but compared to the sata isfaction that we are providing comfortable home for suffering hu manity and making it possible to do all within human power to relieve pain and suffering and perhaps in many instances save a life, there is no comparison. in hospital Do you know that there has been an average of five patients, from this locality, in Salt Lake hospitals for the past several months? Do you know what a tremendous s strain it has been upon the of those who have bad to stand the expense, not only for hospital fees, but tor transportation and hotel bills of relatives and friends who pocket-book- have been compelled to accompany the sick and the injured7 Inadequate transportation er with. the danger ot removing patr ients to Salt Lake have been a draw- . back. Were we to have a hospital at Nephi, much of this expense and danger could be eliminated. You could have your own doctor. It would be much easier for a doctor to come from Salt Lake, Provo and other cities to Nephi than it would be to remove the patient to another locality and the expense would be no greater than were the patient taken to them. It would eliminate the expense of those who would accompany you and at the same time, you would be among your friends who care. Think this over and help us devise ways and means of having an hospital for Nephi and the surte rounding territory. Will L. Hoyt In the matter of establishing a hospital at Nephi, which is now being sponsored by the Kiwanis Club and Commercial Club, I wish to put in a word in support of the movement. I am for a local hospital without reservations. Nephi sends altogether too much money away for goods and for services that could better be obtained at home. Very lit tie of such money trickles back into local But the money considcirculation. eration is a minor consideration. A local hospital, properly equipped, means the saving of lives in emergencies; it means nenrness to friends when friends are needed; It means nearness to work when work cannot be left. When it becomes necessary for a busy man to have a leg amputated, or an appendix removed he very often postpones the operation because he cannot leave his work. But with a local hospital where he ran, while convalescing, be near enough to his farm or business to direct Its operation, he is not so apt to procrastinate until It Is too late. Having had three operations, one t Nephi and two elsewhere, I am of the opinion that the best Job was done In the home town, and 1 was saved considerable expense and was able to look after my work. I am for the establishment and support of a local hospital. W. C. Andrews While I haven't given the matter a very careful study, my observation leads me to believe that the people of this valley and surrounding country are not able to take advantage of the latest Improved methods adopted In the medical and surgical world. The reason for this is as I see It that we are In need of a hospital that could be equipped with the latest devices known In surgery and also have a haven of rest for those afflicted. To alleviate pain and suffering Is the duty of all mankind, and one Dannis Wood From the standpoint of suffering humanity, every citizen in Nephi, and in fact all of East Juab County should be solidly behind the propos ition of establishing a hospital In this city. We are at the present time in dire need of such an institution. The expense that poor people are subjected to, in addition to the unnecessary suffering that a trip to the hospitals of Salt Lake entail, brings us face to face with the absolute need of providing a more satisfactory arrangement, whereby the sick and unfortunate in our midst can .be qufckly cared forand at coat that people of moderate means can stand. The matter of financing this ven ture can be accomplished if the peo ple of this valley are united in the matter. Ne person, young or old, has any means of knowing when they may need the services of a hospital, which under present conditions practically mortgages the future for sev eral years for those individuals who are unfortunate enough to be taken to Salt Lake for treatment. In view of these facts, why cannot the es tablishing of a hospital here be made a community affair in which every individual will be interested In its maintenance. Public funds are appropriated foT almost everything under the sun at the present time. Why not use a little for the better care of the sick and afflicted human beings? We spend money every year in this state by the thousands, tor treating tubercular cattle, scabby sheep, hog cholera, experimenting ex-in seed culture, better spuds, soil periments, and many others too num- (Continued on page 4) LITERARY CLUB ANNUAL PARTY One of the principal Bocial functions of the past week was the annual party of the Ladies Literary club held Friday evening In the dining room A very at the High School building. elaborate banquet was served by the Domestic Science girls under the direction of Miss Elsie Maughan, supervisor of this department.
