When Tragedy Strikes ... the difference between LIFE and DEATH may be YOUR HOSPITAL There may come a time in your life, or in that of a member of your family, when a hospital represents the difference between life and death. When that time comes it will make a tragic difference if there is no hospital in this sec tion of Santiam Valley and Canyon Area — or whether precious minutes will be lost during the delay in reaching a hospital in a too distant city. Truly . . . It may be the difference between life and death. Lives of your friends and neighbors have been needlessly sacrificed or their health impaired because we have no hospital. District to Be Served This is your Hospital, planned to serve the following areas: Idan ha, Detroit, Dates, Mill City, Lyons, Mehama, Stayton, Sublimity, Shaw, Aumsville, West Stayton, Turner, Marion, Scio and Jordan. This will be a non-profit, Self sustaining, non-sectarian community Memorial Hospital. Put First Things First There is nothing more important than protecting the lives and health of those who live in this part of Santiam Valley and Canyon Area. This section is growing and expanding industrially, agriculturally and commercially—bringing an increased demand for hospital facil ities for those who are employed on our farms, in our industries, and in business. We Face a Crisis For many years, hundreds of our fellow citizens, even our own fam ilies, have faced a grave and dangerous situation that has now be come a crisis. The present campaigh to build a non-profit memorial hospital is being most carefully prepared and is sponsored by many citizens, who volunteered as workers. In the Crisis we are now facing, the responsibility rests upon the shoulders of all good citizens. The question is: “Will we accept the opportunity that is now offered—to make this a safer place in which to live?” We must do it now or never. This Is Your Problem When it comes to saving human lives and protecting the health of our neighbors, there can be no such thing as city boundaries. Spurr ed by this humane motive, busy men—fanners and business m e n —are enlisting as workers to obtain the protection of a modern hospital for this part of Santiam Valley and Canyon Area. Names That Will Live Under this title in the public lobby of the hospital will be listed the memorials, the names of all who contributed any sum of money, and the volunteer workers of the money-raising campaign . . . all who make this new hospital possible . . . Their names will live! Be a Founder in order that future generations will know that you helped build this hospital. Establish a Living Memorial Your name or that of a loved one—wife, husband, mother, father, son or daughter, sister or brother —will be honored, and his or her memory perpetuated by this service rendered the community. Es tablish a memorial for yourself or your loved ones by making a really sacrificial gift. You and they will continue to live—year after year, you and they will live—active day and night, relieving human suf fering —saving human lives.

Advance Gifts Campaign Starts November 8th Our fellow citizens . . . busy men . . . are organizing the Advance Gifts and Memorial part of the Campaign to finance a hospital for the protection of the lives and health of their friends, neighbors and families. It should not be necessary for these men to ‘‘sell” you on the need of a hospital.
