In our country everybody is. speaking of a new world war and the nations are preparing for it. We do not fear from a war, for it is better than the present situation., This is not only my opinion, but this is the general common sense. Everybody is preparing ' for revenge. Our harvest is a ataslrophal one. Old men did not see such a bad harvest. Our country has provisions for three months and after that comes the starvation. I trust God that He'll take care of us and provide of our daily bread. Happy America does not know'of all our troubles.

After their departure I have to go too, but where? . , Our church has been an old one. Our Matrica is led since the year 1655. Now she finished her mission.

If there would be somebody in your congregation, a good-hearted mother or father who is responsive to our miseries and wants to help, let him have my address. We do not ask for money.

IN REPLY To the Honorable Trustees of the Mary Sherman Hospital and the Sullivan County Medical Society. Gentlemen:
I As a representative CitizenTaxpayer, we beg to submit to you and to all Citizen-Taxpayers the following: First, we do not approve of your method of bringing your proposition before the public, I We believe it has been under'hand and undemocratic and, that j you have put the cart before the i horse. If you had 'published your i memorandum or given similar I information in the beginning in1 stead of laying underground ' wires and fortifications through elections and oppointments over 'a period of months, the "unj thinking ignorant Citizen-Taxpayer might feel differently about jyour proposition. I In reply to your first item, i "THE NEED", you say and I quote "The number of patients I admitted to the-- Hospital and seeking admission has increased i steadily the past few years and is reasonably expected to continue increasing steadily in the future." Any thinking citizen knows that the chief reason for this gradual increase has been because the Doctors have requested it, because they have refused to visit the patient in the - home. Why? It is to their advantage in everyway. First, in the same time they can visit several patients which means more fees," also more convenience and less effort, also the patient is then turned over to a nurse
whom we are told is not too well paid. A few years back when the Doctors were against improving the Hospital, the public was informed thot everything was satisfactory. The Hospital was rated A. Have conditions changed so quickly? We think that the chief attraction to ' the nurses would be increase in pay. FINANCING: . j We are agreed that building costs are "unusually high", we would rather say phohibitary and i :- i
would add that quality of material in many cases is sub-stand-ord. But we do not agree that rates on Bonds are lower now than will be in the future. What are your reasons for believing that the future interest rates will double? If you are expecting on economic breakdown,, you must admit that Hospital income will decrease accordingly. Again, as from the beginning in your planning, you do not give the Citizen-Taxpayer credit for having the ability to see things through, i Your analogy, ' I quote "The fact that food costs are unusually high now does not enable us to forego eating, etc" is sophomoric and weak. We must eat, always. Some times we could be taken care of in the home and leave more room for urgent cases. It has been done. . BUILDING PLANS: From reliable information and from eyperience, I believe the Citizen-Taxpayer will agree with me, that considering each item in your estimate for building and equipment, I say it can't be done. Much more would be required. Will the Doctors guarantee to the Taxpayers that the stated amount will be sufficient? We believe that there is need for both better Hospital facilities and school improvements and we will approve . of them in proper amount and proper time, and when the proper authorities promote, these improvements.' It must not be forced upon the taxpayers by a minority group of interested beneficiaries, a selected Oligarchy. Wake up taxpayer! You are not dumb but asleep! A Fellow Citizen and Taxpayer.
