'Ilie second stage of con-
struction plans for the proposed
$1.5 million Rio Grande
Radiation Treatment Center at
McAllen have been approved
and work is going ahead on
them, according to Dr. H.D.
Gilliam, president of the
foundation building the center.
Dr. Gilliam and Dan Ogden of
Rike and Ogden, architects,
conferred at Dallas with of-
ficials of Health, Education and

Burton grant under HEW to

construction and equipment.

Christian and Missionary
Alliance. Building costs are
estimated at $636,000.

Object of the foundation is to
furnish a cancer treatment
center to serve Sotuh Texas
with facilities equal in scope
and quality with the M.D.
Anderson center at Houston but
more limited in quantity. This
center for South Texas will
remove the necessity for per-
sons in this area going to
Houston, thereby saving them
the additional cost of tran-
sportation and living away from
home.
Planning on the center began
three years ago and a fund
drive directed by David Farb is
underway to accumulate money
to be added to the federal grant
and pay for the entire facility
which the foundation will
operate on a non-profit basis.
