months of study by the hospital
board, spearheaded by chairman
John Luhm, following announce-
ment of the bequest from the
Grace Govey estate. Mrs. Govey,
a staunch and active supporter of
Shelton General Hospital ever
since its founding nearly a half-
century ago, bequeathed a sub-
stantial portion of her estate to

her death June 19, 1965. Her
husband, Arthur B. Covey, had
been instrumental in the forma-
tion of the hospital in the early
1920s, and served on its board
for many years. The bequest, in
the form of stocks, was wort
approximately $381,000 at the
time of Mrs. Govey's death. To-
day the market value is placed
at nearly $535,000. Financial
sources estimate the worth will
double approximately every sev-

market trends.

• The Shelton School Board
Tuesday night voted to hire
Harold Dalke and Associates,
Shelton, as architects for the new
addition to be built at Bordeaux
School.
The hiring of the firm came
after a recommendation from
Supt. Louis Grinnell.
The school board and the ad-
ministration had interviewed
several architects during the past
month in preparation for making
the selection.
Two new members, John Sells
and Ernest Hamlin, took their
seats on the board at the meet-
ing Tuesday night.
The board elected Dr. Herbert
Hergert as chairman, to succeed
Lester Spilseth. Spilseth did not
seek re-election to the board.
Richard Brewer was named vice-
chairman and Mrs. Doris Hill-
man was re-appointed as clerk.
The board received a "letter
from the Citizen's Advisory Com-
mittee on a site for new athletic
facilities and a proposed new
secondary school.
