But the hospitals of Philadelphia are equipped for such emergencies and our Bank, as executor of an estate, had a hand in preparing them. A kindly woman, who had been an invalid much of her life, directed in her Will that most of her estate be spent for iron lungs. She instructed our Bank to buy them and distribute them free to those hospitals in the Philadelphia area where they were most needed.

There were more than 50 hospitals to be considered. We made a thorough survey with the help of an experienced hospital administrator. We analyzed equipment already on hand numbers of patients the special needs of each hospital and the needs of the neighborhoods served by each. In the end, our Trust Department purchased 48 iron lungs and allocated them to 30 hospitals. Deaths Elsewhere Joseph C.
