10 THE MORNING OEEGONIAX, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1920 ' Good Samaritan Campaign to Be March 1 to 10. AIMS AND WORK OUTLINED Moch Free Public AVork Done Re quires Additional Support; Com mittee Irlscuases Plana. New Impetus was Riven the Good Samaritan hospital building; fund cam paign yesterday when further sub scriptions were announced by Bishop Walter T. Sumner, bringing the total to 1160,000. Members of the cam paign committee, meeting at luncheon at the Hotel Multnomah, sig nified their readiness to bring; In fur ther funds during the campaign, wmcn will be conducted between Starch and March 10. Exposition of the hospital situa tion in Portland was furnished by BishoD Sumner. Mayor- Baker, Dr. A K. Mackay and Frank C. Jackson. The reason to appealing to the public In behalf of Good Samaritan hospital was explained by Bishop Bumner, who pointed out the altruistic and non-sectarian nature of the" work nerformed by the institution. There is no reason that a church should have a hospital," he said. "If conducted along strictly business lines, a hospital having such public confidence behind it as the cooa Sa maritan would be a very safe money' making institution. Mark Work Is Free. The $500,000 addition proposed could be built by the hospital and paid for In a very few years without puonc assistance. The reason for making this a public activity is that Good Samaritan hospital bandies a large amount of free work, and with such support as this, will be able to handle a great deal more." The need of adequate hospital serv ice in Portland was revealed by Mayor Baker on the basis of experiences un dergone during the past two years "Portland's hospital facilities at the present time are miserable, he said. "We are not only unable to provide hospital space In such emergencies as an influenza epidemic but the space available under normal condi tions is about SO per cent short." The value of Good Samaritan hos - pital from the physician's standpoint was discussed by Dr. Mackay, who cited several cases coming under his own observation where the services of the hospital had been entirely without charge. $300,000 Total Sought. Another phase of the. public service rendered by Good Samaritan wa pre sented by Frank C. Jackson, manager of the present campaign, who showed how free service was provided in ri.any cities by public subscription rather than by the hospitals them selves. "New York City carried on a general hospital campaign during the months of November and Decem ber, 1919, in which a million dollars was asked to provide free service in the various city hospitals. If Good Samaritan is supported in the way we are asking, there will be no ne cessity for such an annual subscrip tion. The total amount for which Good Samaritan hospital is asking is S3UO 000.
