8. Anaheim Gazette TUESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1951 ANAHEIM, CALIF. Signing of Contract Gives Green Light For Constuction of New Hoag Memorial With the signing of a contract with Means and Ulrich of Santa Ana, George Hoag, Jr., vice-president of the Hoag Memorial hospital, Presbyterian, on Saturday gave authority to start actual work on the $1,100,000 hospital project for all Orange county at Newport Beach. At the same time the vice-president was authorized to appoint a special committee to carry out plans for a ground breaking ceremony to be held as soon as President J. A. Murdy, Jr., returns from his extended tour of Europe. Murdy arrived in New York Saturday last, the day the contract was signed. He will visit Washington before returning to his home at Huntington Beach where he is expected to arrive Aug. 22, when he will again resume his duties as president of the hospital board. Meanwhile, the contractor is planning an early start and is already arranging for the grading and excavating which is necessary before work on the building can begin. Start of work on this much needed hospital on the coast to serve all of Orange-county, climaxes a long period of struggle and earnest endeavor—on the part of many people. Coast hospitals plans were first suggested many years ago at Laguna Beach. The initial idea is said to have been a group of homes for retired people, with medical facilities as part of the plan. This was proposed by Dr. Clever at La. Town Coffee Shop Open for Business In Stanton Now The Town Coffee Shop has formally opened at 8031 Main st., Stanton, in the Ethel Dill building.

The move was made necessary because the Ruth Korn building, in which it was housed, is doomed to be razed because the property on which it stands will soon be part of a four lane state highway.

Start of work on this much needed hospital on the coast to serve all of Orange county, climaxes a long period of struggle and earnest endeavor—on the part of many people. Coast hospitals plans were first suggested many years ago at Laguna Beach. The initial idea is said to have been a group of homes for retired people, with medical facilities as part of the plan. This was proposed by Dr. Clever at Laguna. Certain delays were encountered. Later a hospital for the Laguna Beach area was projected by Rev. Raymond I. Braham. Again delays were met with.

Those of you who have "Gone With The Wind" or the picture will recall the sequence where Scarlet visits Rhett in jail to borrow money from him. She looked like guiling, soft king cobra in makeshift finery. She tore her mother's green vet drapes off the walls and My made them into a lush skirted dress. Then she made bonnet out of more of the mat and some chicken feathers. Mrs. Simms has duplicated costume down to the smallest tail. In another sequence from story Mammy finally acceded Rhett when he gives her a brown petticoat. Mrs. Simms dressing Mammy with the peacoat from that scene. Mrs. F. G.

N., succumbed to her interest in dolls about a year ago and has made and dressed them for doctors and for children. Recently, she made the Dionne duplulets for a collector and she is making the characters in the late Margaret Mitchell's book With The Wind." She has shed the dolls representing let O'Hara and Melanie. Let's go to some of the background of this real life mother who still plays with dolls. Mrs. Simms was born in Texas. She married 26 years ago October in New Mexico. They came to Anaheim in '42. Mr. E. F. Simms is a postal clerk in the local post office. They have two children, both single. Betty, 21, is with the civil service in Seattle for the Port of Embarkation, and Gorden, 20, is with the civil service in Japan. Mrs. Simms is an exceptionally industrious person. She has a few more hobbies than anyone else. She is a camera fiend, from way back, and has also learned to do her own photo tinting. She took a class in ceramics at night school and learned to make decorative figurines. She made and tinted her own six service dinnerware set. She redecorated and papered her home. During the comparatively short interview, that was all I was able to learn about her. Now, back to dolls.
