The committee places a two-fold
value on this contribution. Not only
does it mark a Iook stride toward the
lOO.oou goal, but It also fixes the
stamp of approval, by one of Salem's
financial strongholds, on the pro
poned hospital.
An incident occurring yesterday.
n a local store, seems tj indicate
that many people are ready even
anxious to contribute fundi If they
were approached by solicitor.
One of the proprietlrs said a woman
inquired of hint, while in the store,
to whom she could pay a contribu
tion for the new hospital. He banded
her a blank card. She at once pen
ned the amount of her subscription
on the card and returned It.
The urgent need of active solici
tors was expressed yesterday by
Walter A. Denton and William Mc
Gilchrist. Jr. Scarcely one-half of
the number who had been commis
sioned as canvasser have done any
active work for the hospital.
It is believed that the need for the
hospital Is fully recognized by the
publie and that solicitors would
meet with encouraging response, at
least in small contributions. If peo
ple could be approached individually.
