Harlem donated to hospital

Ray D. Brown, public relations representative for Milledgeville State Hospital, thanked the citizens of Harlem for donations of gifts.

In a letter sent to City Mayor Francis W. Tracy, Mr. Brown wrote: "Much credit is due the citizens of your fair city for the fine job they did in wrapping and collecting gifts for our "M Day" program."

Mayor Tracey said local contributions were assembled and transported to the hospital by the Harlem Fire Department.
