considerable talk in town
about closing the old Cottage
Hospital and joining medical
facilities with the Grafton
County Farm on RoUte 10 in N.
Haverhill. He said no way. So,
when nurses and hospital
workers hosted a huge
meeting in the Community
Center, he "opened my big
mouth, again" and ended up
as president of the Cottage
Hospital Trustees, a job he
held for nearly 20 years.
He hired a Philadelphia
fundraising outfit for $12,000
("my head was really on the
block, now" Walker chided.
"It had to work, or I was in big
trouble.") and they gave the
hospital group 12 solid weeks
of fundraising. And it worked.
People responded well from
both sides of the river and
funds were obtained and
pledged for a new building at a
different location.
July 3, 1960 was a big day for
Walker. They dedicated the
new hospital and everyone
came to see it including Gay.
Powell and a host of other well
knowns. "People realized that
people around here really
support their fine hospital"
Walker said. "And they said it
could never be done."
So, with that victory and a
building standing on the hill,
he realized one day that more
rooms were needed so they
hired another flock of fun-
vttt'""age clraisers from Massachusetts
and opened the new wing in
1969,

are license plates from New
Hampshire Governor's cars
and notes from Mel Thomson
and Bill Loeb. "I used to get
after Bill, if he wrote one of his
famous editorials I didn't like.
But, I would praise him, as
well," Walker remembers.
He said he likes the Union
Leader, in that it takes a stand
and stands for something. He
admires those with courage
to stand for what they think is
right,
He offered that he has en-
joyed being in business in
Woodsville and has enjoyed
doing the range of projects he
has been credited with. He has
rearranged many of them and
has stepped aside of others.
And today he is less busy on
the outside.
So, the Furniture King of the
Valley is looking forward to
him why he is the Furniture
King of the Valley, he will
waste no time with the an-
swer. Because I am the
Furniture King of the Valley,
that's why."

WOODSVILLE-- Town Road
Agent James Boucher
reviewed with Haverhill
Selectmen this week results of
a recent inspection of some of
the towns' bridges. Selectmen
decided to post the two most
critical bridges as the state
suggests and to post the others
at a later date.
The inspection was con-
ducted by New Hampshire
Public Works Department
Engineer Paul A. Laflam, who
concluded Page Roads Bridge
was to be posted for passenger
cars and the bridge on the
Route 116 side of French Pond
Road was to be posted for 12
ton and under vehicles. The
other bridges included in the
report were on Cometary
road, Smith street, Mill street,
the bridge on Route 135, and
the Jeffers Hill road.
Boucher indicated there was
a possibility of the need for
upgrading some of these
bridges next summer.
