PAGE TWELVE Tht OREGON STATESMAN, Eaka, Ortjcn, Wednesday Morning April 28, 1939 ital Day Due May 12 Gty'a Institutions Extend t Welcome to Public to : Visit That Day Mar 12, birthday of Florence 'Klshtlngale, has been designated throughout the United States and Canada as National Hospital day, for the purpose of drawing at tention to the humanitarian sera Ices rendered ' by the hospitals. Hospitals hare In recent years made great advances In skill, "technique" and service." They stand as the community's tJ.at line of defense ; against ' disease. In order to acquaint the public . with their services, the hospitals of the city are having open house May 12 and are asking the public - to visit the hospital on that , day. - National Hospital day is not Donation day. The hospital merely wants to see old friends and to make new friends on that day; , "Come and get acquainted" Is the slogan. Statistics show that In a span of 70 years the law of averages decrees that one will be a hos pital patient at least four times, dependent upon the hospital tor vitally Important services. . The Salem Deaconess hospital has open . house from 2 to 5 p m. and 7 to 8:30 p. m. m Much Charity Work Done Hospitals face a crisis today because of two reasons. 1. Due to economic conditions 'there are an ever increasing number of poor people who can not pay for hospitalization when they need It.' Because of Ola 'condition the Salem Deaconess hospital did f over $20,000 of charity work last year. This Is an important' reason why the hospital deserves the support of the community which It is serv ing. 2. Due to vastly raised stand ards demanded of the hospital today It costs much more to operate a hospital than It did 25 years ago. Hospital equipment And buildings are among the most expensive known. An X-ray machine may cost, over $50,000 and radium is more costly Ahan ; diamonds. These many demands are a continual drain on the resources of the institution and make the financing of a hospi tal very difficult unless It re ceives outside support. - New Bakery Law Of State Lauded PORTLAND, April 25-;p-Ore-gon's new bakery program is As signed to protect the consumer, baker and investor.

C. Callan are two of the outstand ing and most capable appraisers in Portland- Their qualifications and ability are admitted by the State Bar association, but I am criticized because of the fact that I hare appointed them on such a number of occasions that their ultimate fees aggregate a substantial amount of money.
