Eagles Win 3 Games In Row Total For Hospital Now $33,000, Expected To Reach $50,000 Flight large contributions to the Malheur Memorial hospital fund were announced this week. Eight individuals and firms have given $1000 each, bringing the total amount collected in pledges and cash to $33,000. Other large and small contributions are expected to bring the total to $50,000 within the next few weeks. Collection of that amount would place the M al heur Memorial Hospital association in a good position to ask for a $50, loan from the government. The state legislature is expected to pass an enabling act providing for creation of a state agency to distribute the government money to qualified hospital sponsors, which was authorized by the last con gress. Anyone who wishes to pay his pledge or increase Ills contribution may do so by contacting Olean Wells at the Nyssa theater. T. B. PROBLEM IN ORE. NOT SOLVED "Because Oregon has one of the lowest death rates from tuberculo sis of any state, we may become complacent and think our problem is solved, particularly after reading the alarming figures from some of the other states and from the for eign field” , according to the One- To-Another Bulletin published by the Oregon Tuberculosis associa tion. “But, last year 271 persons died of tuberculosis in Oregon. During the present year, with the two X -ray units which have conducted case-finding surveys in the state, there have been 320 cases of tub erculosis discovered. How many of these are new and unknown we do not know at this time, but we d6 know that at least this number of cases of tuberculosis are outside our hospitals. This is not the whole story, because private physicians, clinics and the Portland tubercu losis center have brought to light a great many more cases. “The present Christmas seal sale is being conducted to finance the further work of the survey pro gram and the health education program which together with the other efforts o f many doctors, nur ses and other agencies look tow ard the final eradication of the disease in this state". bulldogs Beat Caldwell Five By 39-38 Score ser,, : :.
