HILLARY PROJECT
Hospital In Himalayas (N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND. Sir Edmund Hillary will lead a New Zealand expedition to Nepal in September to start work on a six-bed hospital costing £15,000 to serve 4000 Sherpas in the Khumbu area of the Himalayas. Sir Edmund Hillary has already reached his personal target of £7OOO and Lions’ clubs are raising the remaining £BOOO. Sir Edmund Hillary said today that he would not be back in New Zealand for Christmas. He hoped to arrange for his wife and three children to spend Christmas in the mountains with the expedition. Two British radio-telephone units powerful enough to receive clear signals from anywhere in the world will provide a link between the hospital and Katmandu, 160 miles away.
