NO PLANS FOR HOSPITAL
Although a representative of the
Presbyterian board of missions con
ferred with members of the board
of the Valley Hospital last week,
no definite plan for assuming the
managership of the local institu
tion was advanced by the church
group. The meeting was in the
nature o fa fact-finding confer
ence, according to one board mem
ber. Both the church representa
tive and the local board members
sought additional information from
one another, before a concrete dis
cussion of plans and terms could
be laid. From the information ex
changed at last week’s meeting,
additional plans may be developed,
it was reported.
