ROSE DAY TO BE HELD SATURDAY Public Invited to Give Generâ€"‘ ously to St. Mary‘s Hospilal! and Help to Reduce $335,000 Debt.â€"A Worthy Cause. l ‘The generous response extended to. the first Rose Day. for St. Mary‘s Hospital a year ago inspires the hope that the people of Waterloo and disâ€" trict will ‘give the 1929 Rose Day on June 1st a~ similar: cordial reâ€" ception. St. Mary‘s Hospital is toâ€" day more then ever giving a splenâ€" did community service. The number of patients has increased considerâ€" ably and the wisdom of providing sufficient accommodation in the oriâ€" ginal building is becoming more and more apparent from day to day. In the first six months of the‘ current financial year St. Mary‘s llus-! pital has provided accommedation for 1,052 patients, representing a total of 11,993 hospital days. Of these. patients a large proportion were inâ€" digent and unable to make payment for the hospital service rendered them. At the same time St. Mary‘s Hospital was in the position to coâ€" operate with the K.â€"W. Hospital durâ€" ing the past winter by taking over a number of patients from the latter institutions so that necessary buildâ€" ing alterations at the K.â€"W. Hospital could be carrried out. The municipal grants and lhe‘ amounts received from tax patients are practically sufficient for the maintenance of St. Mary‘s Hospital ‘lnd the only obstacle to its existence as a selfâ€"supporting institution is the sum of $335,000 due on the building debt. Every year payments for principal and interest must be made, and the Rose Day appeal is intended to provide funds for this purpose. Paw 54 If St. Mary‘s Hospital were a muniâ€" cipal institution, these same pay-‘ ments would have to be met out of the general taxation. As matters are. the Rose Day appeal is a request for voluntary contributions to meet part of the debt obligation, all of which would under other â€" circumstances have to come out of the pockets of Twinâ€"City ratepayers.
