" MAGRATH GENERAL HOSPITAL NEWS The Magrath General Hospital Board and Staff would like to thank the Hospital Aux­iliary for their recent donation towards equipment. Their continued support over the years is appreciated. It is also appreciated that the Lions Club is going to do some fund-raising to help us with equipment, and the Magrath Treasury Branch recently made a donation. More people are starting to donate to the Hospital. There are many rural hosp­itals in the province that have donations of $60,000 - $100,000 per year and large cash reserves they draw interest from. It has been difficult to purchase needed equipment when we do not have cash deposits and our donations total about $3,000 per year, so it is encouraging to see the re-' cent support from the community. As Hospital Board and Staff, we want to provide the best care possible, and your donations and encouragement certainly help towards this end. Thank you. URGENT . For a small town we are so extremely fortunate to have such a beautiful ice facility right on our front door step.

We are getting sene really good skaters who have worked hard these past few years. It would be a shame to have to drive them to Lethbridge or Raymond for lessons. Also, the M.F.S.C. budget is now quite stable so all these monies would be designated elsewliere if the club folds. Please cone and show your support.. Thank you. Dianne McKelvey, Pres. M.F.S.C.
