First, to You, the people of Terrace Bay, Schreiber, Ross- port and Pays Plat who have worked and contributed to the building fund and thus participated in its growth. Without your support there would be no hospital and the continuation of modem health care is an absolute necessity for this area. We realize you, all, have many requests and committments to support worthwhile projects such as thisbut | would ask for your consideration in continuing to generously support the McCausland Hospital Building Fund. Secondly - to the Staff of the Terrace Bay News who gave such great coverage to our articles - giving the Hospital News "front page" coverage whenever possible.

Puttock, President of Kimberly-Clark of Canada, announced on August 10, 1978 increased finan- cial support of Terrace Bay's new McCausland Hospital by $32,000. In December of 1974 Kimberly-Clark Pledged $1 to the hospital's build- ing fund for every $2.50 donated by residents and businesses . . . up to a maximum of $100,000. Escalated costs from the 1974 in- itial estimate have increased the financial responsibility of the hospital. The $32,000 donation by Kimberly- Clark will match the increased financial support from the private sector according to the incentive - plan established in 1974. The new hospital, presently under construction, is scheduled for completion by late 1979.
