long way to go as most of the large
contributions are in. Friday night
will be a date of great decision, lhe
only way tragedy can be prevented is by having a modem fire-proof
hospital of our own. This means
sacrificial giving by everyone. This
sacrificial giving is possible because
pledges are made for a three year
period and at the time the pledge
is signed it is not necessary to decide how payments are to be made.
It also is not necessary to make
a cash payment at the time the
pledge is made.
