The problem affects every citizen, and the decision cannot be made by one organization, or any small group. It is up to us all. In order that all citizens may be better informed, the Bedford Gazette and Everett Republican began last week a series of articles interpreting an impartial survey recently conducted for the county- by James R. Mays, Hospital Consultant, of Philadelphia.

The Bedford County Medical Society has available- additional copies of this report, which will be loaned to any groups or persons interested. In the-meantime, this is the in the series. In the first, the need for a hospital was considered. This week, the type of hospital to be built is considered. Next week, Bedford county's ability to finance a hospital will be considered.

Grand and petit jurors for the beginning May 12 have been dismissed from service by the court- First signers on petitions for the primary election this fall may be obtained June 21: final date for the return of petitions is July 21.

Such a building, if "erected according to modern specifications will cost $850,000. This, in.two short but breath-taking sentences, sums up the recommendation of James R. Mays, Hospital Consultant who was recently assigned to survey the county's hospital needs. County civic organizations, led by the Bedford County Medical Society, arranged for the survey, on -which Mr.

Mays made a report in April. What will go into a hospital of these dimensions and just what makes it cost so much? That is indubitably the first question which arises. First of all. the building would be designed as a thoroughly modern unit of fireproof construction and will have all of the necessary auxiliary facilities and departments in proper juxtaposition. These would be of sufficient capacity to afford future growth in bed capacity without costly rearrangement, expansion or adjustment.

The proposed building when fin- completed will consist of three sections: a Main Section or front Mav 24 is Poppy Day in Pcnnsyl- with two wings projecting to the rear, attached at each end of vania.
