> EJJ2“ T he MILL CITY On Hospital ENTERPRISE I The public will be fully informed as to all details in connection with the proposed Santiam Memorial Hos pital, according to Lawrence E. Spraker, chairman of the public re lations committee for the coming money-raising campaign for the San tiam Memorial Hospital. The pres ent plan of organizing, financing the building the Santiam Valley hospital has been adopted by the sponsors committee on the advice of those ex perienced in organizing, financing and planning, and the service of com petent hospital architects. There will be no experiments because everything has been tried and tested in other places. The public relations committee aims to acquaint people with the vital need for hospital facilities, and how our problem may be solved by united com munity effort. Organizations desir ing authorized speakers, please tele phone Stayton 4392 or Mill City 2607. NO QUOTAS In the coming money-raising cam paign, Advisor Barr states “there will be no quotas or assessments for industry, agriculture, business, professions, residential districts, or individuals. That is the old type of money-raising campaign; it stirs resentment and generally results in failure.’ “The Barr Method of planning and financing, that is being used so suc cessfully throughout Oregon and a great many western states, is strictly voluntary without coercion. Each corporation, business and individual gives according to the best of its or his ability in order to obtain hospi tal protection for himself and his family as .well as a neighbor. The amount given is kept strictly confi dential unless authority is given to publish the amount. Under this plan, instead of arbitrary assessments and compulsion, the spiritual motive, and desire to have adequate modern hos pital protection to safeguard the lives and health of the community, will be the basis for one's giving. The community is assured that no person is down for a certain amount of money.” CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS The problem of raising the money in order to obtain the Santiam Mem I orial Hospital is the problem of all who live in this area. A few men do not have the time to solicit others to join as workers in this great hu manitarian movement. For this rea son the committee issues a call for men to VoluntCJi as workers in th» forthcoming money raising campaign. They will be known as sponsors. The appeal is made through the public press. Any men who are in a posi- (Continued on Page 4) Organizations Plan Aid Hospital Drive The sponsors of the Santiam Mem orial Hospital money-raising cam paign are pleased to note that many organizations, in the area to be served by ¿he new hospital, are planning for memorials and have agreed not to in terfere with the volunteer solicitors by running a counter campaign to raise money from the individual mem bers of their organizations hospital campaign headquarters announced. All organizations desiring to aid, with memorials, are requested to confer with campaign headquarters with reference to the memorial plan. They have been requested to pay for memorials from funds in their treas uries, or to be raised by special events during the coming 18-month period. The plan of the present campaign is, that the volunteer workers solicit all citizens in the area to be served by the hospital and that those who are in a position to do so subscribe directly to the hospital building fund instead of giving through an organ ization. Each person who can do so should be a member of the hospital. A special request is made of or ganizations that no shows, dances, or magazine sale solicitations take place for the purpose of raising money for the hospital until after the hospital campaign is over and then only with I the approval of the Santiam Mem- I orial Hospital board of directors.
