WESTRALIAN’S TIMELY GIFT
SAVED HUGE SUM TO ENGLISH HOSPITAL. United Press Association — By Electri* Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, Jan. 2. West Australian visitors to London, Mr and Mrs McNess, have given a cheque for £633, enabling the Royal Northern Hospital, at Holloway to claim a gift of £35,000 to erect a bloch of private beds. It was a last-minute race against time. The officials had to collect £35,000 before the dawn of 1929 in order to claim a similar gift from an anonymous .donor. They made strenuous efforts, to obtain the remaining few hundreds before midnight and were despairing when Mr McNess interviewed them and promised to make up the deficit. Mr McNess is an entiro stranger to the hospital and declined to give his address.
