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-

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.
