1 went by Dr. Cardwell's new
veterinary hospital in r.lgin the
other day. The hospital is not
finished yet, hut it is ui,mtr to be
very nice when it is completed.
The outstanding thing about
this hospital is that most of the
labor for construction of it has
been donated by different indivi-
duals of the Flgin area. It sure
is a good thing when people of a
community want the services of
a veterinarian enough to donate
their time to help build a hospi-
tal. Several people worked more
than one day free of charge. 1
even got in on a little of the work
and shoveled some sand. I never
realized sand was so heavy!
Some of the business men of
Flgin helped the Doc out by let-
ting him have the material at a
di-count. I know Dr. Cardwell
appreciates all of this help. 1 ap-
