Church Record Number Of Patients In Hospital With facilities taxed to greater than normal capacity, the Bluffton hospital equalled its record number of 29 patients in the institution Monday. About a year ago there were aki 29 patients at the hospital, according to Miss Helen Maxwell, superintend ent. The normal capacity of the hospital is 22 adults and 6 babies. The registration Monday showed 22 adults and 7 babies. This amount taxed the facilities of the hospital due to the fact that several double rooms were engaged by indi vidual patients prior to the capacity intake. It was necessary, therefore, to place patients in the emergency room, the reception room and the hall. With several patients dis charged Tuesday and Wednesday the institution took on a more normal appearance by the middle of the week.
