THE MORXIXG OREGONIAX, MONDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1919. DO you know that Portland needs hospital facil ities more than any city of similar size in the United States? 'i !!:! THE PROPOSED GREAl'KR HOSPITAL. D 0 YOU remember the recent influenza epidemic when patients were crowded into the auditorium because of hospital unpreparedness, and that many people died because of such a condition and the con sequent lack of care?. w O YOU realize that hospital beds in Portland are practically in con )) tinual use?. Every such bed serves an average of over twenty-four i JJ persons per year. The demand for hospital beds in Portland is three nunarea per cent greater tnan in tne densely populated metropoli tan cities of the East. " To help afford adequate hospital facilities and assist the other hos pitals in caring for the needy sick, Emanuel hospital proposes THE GREATER HOSPITAL FOR GREATER PORTLAND, to cost when completed in excess of $ 1 ,000,000. The present plan, however, involves only the erection of the first unit, for which $250,000 is needed to build and equip. For this purpose an appeal is being made to the people of Port land for donations to bring about the early completion of the project. The money is to be raised by a general appeal to the civic pride of Portland, It will be collected by Portland people, voluntary workers who carry credentials and be deposited with the United States National Bank, Treasurer of the Fund. The money collected is to be expended only for the building and equipment of the new hospital. There are no debts to be paid, no property to be acquired or campaign expenses to be defrayed from the proceeds of the fund. Emanuel Hospital has no endowments, no gifts, or legacies, and no means of support, other than the revenue derived from the pay patients. However, charity has been extended freely from the very beginning, and hundreds of free or part-pay patients have been treated or cared for during the short time of its existence. State, county and city officials, business and financial heads, the professions, the clergy and many prominent citizens have en dorsed the project and will serve on committees and help in many ways, clubs and civic bodies will also aid. Will you help? The need is great. The cause is good. Portland has the wealth. Portland people did their full duty to their country during the war, and gave their blood and treasure unstintedly for the bet terment of mankind. Can it be said now that a great public need will not receive the same generous consideration and support that has been characteristic of Portland?. Give generously, and let it not be said that Portland in this regard was less generous to her own needs than she was to the cry of hu manity in general.
