the machine may be transferred
into a new hospital, when the
Valley completes its building
plans.

Valley’s x-ray unit is the
twenty-first such installation
his firm has made throughout
the territory.

The bicycle track planned for
use of Palmer’s youngsters by
the Palmer Community Recrea

field directly across from the
Valley Hospital. The track has
been dozed out in an oval

field.
