...auction was so crowded that 5,000 people were turned away, and half of the 2.000 ticket holders were forced to watch the bidding on closed-circuit television. The lot had been collected in a hurry over the past few years by Hotelman Arnold Kirkeby (Hampshire House, Beverly Wilshire. Saranac Inn, El Panama). He was selling them off faster yet.

...Sanatorium. Trudeau will henceforth devote its $1,800,000 plant and $3,000,000 endowment to basic research in tuberculosis and allied diseases. As a sanatorium, Trudeau was a victim of success. In the past year, only 60 patients, about a third of capacity, came to be cured at Saranac, leaving Trudeau with a deficit of $90,000.
