Ground - breaking Ceremonies for the New Florida Sani- tarium Building LEIGHTON T. HALL, Administrator, Florida Sanitarium and Hospital

N July 14, 1955, ground-breaking O ceremonies for the new sanitarium building, to replace the original Florida Sanitarium building which was constructed in 1908, were held. W. H. Branson, former president of the General Conference, who began his work as a gospel minister in the Florida Conference the year the Flori- da Sanitarium began its work, was W. H. Branson, V. G. Anderson, C. L. Torrey, Don R. Rees, and Leighton T. Hall fittingly present for the ground-break- breaking the sod to signal the beginning of work on the new wing ing service. C. L. Torrey, treasurer of of the Florida Sanitarium. the General Conference, V. G. Ander- son, president of the Southern Union, Don R. Rees, president of the Florida Conference, and Leighton T. Hall, Florida Sanitarium administrator were the men who participated in turning the sod on this occasion. As they broke ground for the new building they were standing in front of the original sanitarium which has housed patients for the institution since 1908. Because of the ravages of time this building will be removed and at this time construction has begun on the first fifty-bed section of this new wing. Other stages of the 130-bed building will follow as the need arises and as funds are available. Surely this is another mark of prog- ress in the history of this institution which will soon be celebrating its Artist's conception of the new 130-bed addition. Construction has now begun fiftieth year of service in central Flori- on the 50-bed wing. da. 2 SOUTHERN TIDINGS Six Oakwood Staff Members Begin Doctorates
