$ 1.5 Million — (Continued From Page One) and delay. Lemon told the group, however, that the loss of federal funds at this time will not cause KCH efforts to fail. Located In Warsaw Lawrence J. Castaldi, president of KCH, in charge of the meeting last night, said the new non-profit hospital would be located in Warsaw on a site which has been donated to the organization by a group of local physicians. Estimated to cost $6,500,000, the hospital for 113 medicalsurgical patients would be financed by the $1,500,000 fundraising effort, the sale of revenue bonds, and probably federal funds. It is anticipated that between $4,700,000 and $5,000,000 would be needed through the sale of bonds which would be retired from future hospital revenue. Castaldi was emphatic in noting that no tax funds, neither corporate nor individual, would be used to help finance the hospital construction. The State Board of Health is holding $300,000 of Hill-Burton funds from fiscal 1970-1971 in escrow for the program. This money will be allocated to KCH when the present legal questions have been resolved. Castaldi also pointed out that KCH could then re-apply for additional Hill-Burton funds to be used for the hospital. KCH could not be considered at a hearing last week for a fiscal 1971-1972 Hill-Burton grant because of the unsettled legal situation. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were allocated to other facilities outside the county. \ KCH has been designated by the State as the sole organization to provide general hospital facilities in Kosciusko county. This opinion has been questioned and a legal ruling is awaited. Concerning the fund-raising campaign, Castaldi stated that a volunteer organization will be built to make personal contact throughout the county of individuals. industries, businesses, foundations, clubs and organizations, and others for their financial support of the program. The planned hospital has been designed by the Indianapolis architectural firm of Fleck, Burkart, Shropshire, Boots, Reid & Associates. Some of their recent work includes the multimillion dollar addition to the Indiana University Medical Center, Indianapolis; major renovations of the Riley Memorial Children's Hospital, Elwood; and a 200-bed hospital at LaPorte. Also working with the local hospital board is the Chicago hospital consulting firm of Herman B. Smith & Associates, while Bache and Company will issue and sell the revenue bonds. To Have Four Floors. Preliminary plans call for the hospital to have four floors with patient rooms to be located on the upper two floors. All rooms will be designed for either single or double occupancy. Working closely with the physicians of the area, the architects envision the basement, or lower level, to house the ancillary facilities such as the pharmacy, kitchen, employees’ dining room, maintenance rooms, storage, etc. On the first floor would be the operating and recovery rooms, radiology department, emergency suite, physical therapy, laboratories, and undenominational chapel.

The second floor would contain the obstetrical department with a nursery of 16 bassinets in addition to the medical-surgical patient rooms. On the upper floor would be the intensive care unit plus the general care patient rooms. Included also would be such necessary facilities as an X-Ray department, a pediatrics section, and a cardiac care area. Sufficient land is available to provide a parking area for up to 400 cars. Acreage will meet all present and anticipated future needs of the planned hospital with good vehicular access. The site is adjacent to the new U. S. Route 30 Bypass which is under construction east of the city. Sewer, water, and other utilities are readily available to the site. Merchants Make Plans For Christinas The Leesburg Merchants have been busy the last few days getting the town Christmas decorations up. Most of the store fronts are already decorated and ready for Santa. On Saturday, Dec. 11, Santa will be in Leesburg from 1 until 6 p.m. Children will be able to talk with him and give him their list as he visits several of the town’s stores. Several of the merchants will be helping Santa by having treats for the little ones. The Lions club will hold its annual Christmas party on December 18 at the school gym. They will be aided by the Merchants Association. There will be entertainment and Santa will be on hand with treats for all. In an effort to encourage everyone to decorate their homes during the holiday season, the Merchants Association is again giving three trophies for the best decorated residence in the following categories: Nativity, simplicity and unusual. The judging will be done on December 23. The merchants would like to see every home decorated in some way. Merchants are not eligible for trophies. Savings Bond Sales Are Up Joe Ettinger, chairman of the Kosciusko county U.S. Savings Bonds committee has received a report revealing that the county’s savings bonds sales fw October were $85,324 compared with $61,724 for the corresponding period of last y&ar.
