    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. It should not be a question of how little, but how Much
you can do in the wav of a sacrificial gift to make the hospital
possible for your protection.
How You May Serve
