Show Oxygen Tent Drive Progressing Progress-ing Nicely What if someone very dear to you a child, a brother or sister, perhaps per-haps your husband or wife, or a parent, lay battling desperately for life, and, what if you knew as you stood by the sick bed that to relieve strain on a heart and lungs already pushed beyond the limit that an oxygen tent would give that sick one an even chance for recovery? Would you not then be very grateful that such equipment was at hand in your local hospital? There are some who are under the impression that the hospital already al-ready is equipped with an oxygen tent. This is not correct. The hospital hos-pital is now using an oxygen tank which in itself is a boon in respiratory respira-tory cases, but how much better it will be when patients can receive the full benefit of the oxygen by being placed under a tent. "Rome wasn't built in a day" and neither is the average hospital able to install in-stall all equipment at once. The club women, and women of various organizations throughout the city have adopted the plan of depositing a penny each time they meet together. In addition, small cans appropriately labeled are catching the "spare change" of shoppers in the business houses. In this way the fund is to be raised with which to purchase an oxygen tent. In the very near future the general committee heading the drive will collect the cans and the public will then be advised as to how the fund is growing. The cans will be returned however, to the business houses and the drive will go on. There is nothing about the drive, Mr. or Mrs. Citizen of American Fork to make you feel small if you don't give, but there is a whole lot about it that makes you feel big if you're helping the cause along. |
