R.B. Babbington of Gastonia was in Raleigh Friday making arrangements with the governor and council of state for the formal opening of the North Carolina Orthopedic hospital on June 15. Mr. Babbington conferred with the council of state about getting the appropriations for the maintence of this institution. He wants the appropriations available about the middle of June so there will be no trouble on the part of the hospital in meeting its expenses from the beginning. He invited the governor to attend the formal opening of the hospital and its dedicatory exercises.
Mr. Babbington already has a large number of applications on file from the parents of crippled children in North Carolina who want to enter the institution just as soon as it is open for business. Arrangements are being made to take care of all the children the hospital will accommodate soon after the opening. A staff of nurses and medical men, skilled in the treatment of defects have been secured and will be ready.
