 Complete And Equip Dea- coness Hospital Launched
 Yesterday Afternoon


 With Al people present, the luncheon yesterday afternoon at the '. M. c. A., formally launched the campaign for the completion of the Deaconess hos pital. There were several speakers at the luncheon who dwelt upon the nee rssity of adequate hispital facilities for UtrGl Arizona, and the list of precinct captains, each of whom will take a definite district for the intensive cam paign, were selected. The list was not quite completed but will be done to- day.
 Senator II. 5. Wilkinson was the keynote speaker of the luncheon. He told or the development of the hospital program up to the present time and of the steady realization Of the absolute necessity of much larger hospital facil- Ities in this section of the state. He states that the city of Phoenix is now lnced with an opportunity to help com 1lote an institution that will not only Yolp to care for those who need hos pitnI treatment, but to build in this valley one of the finest buildings in the state, building of which any PhOenician may well be proud
 Declared Necessity
 II. w. Asbury president of the chamber of commerce. spoke enthusi- astically in favor of the campaign and stated that such and institution as it is planned to complete with the money to be raised is an absolute necessity for the city and district He also said that the Phoenix Chamber of Com msrce stands ready to support the present campaign for $100,000 to com p'ote and equip the hospital and will support it to the utmost.
 Rev. W. S. Buchanan was then pre- tented and made an eloquent and stir iuS plea. He suggested that all that NaS needed to inject the proper en- tnusiasm is to have four or five people >1N Tt cannot be done This, he said, would put the people of the community on their mettle and the rest would he easy. once the workers determined to accomplish their result in the face of doubt
 Films Show Need
 The consensus of opinion at the meeting was that, while there is every reason why the campaign to raise Si0Q090 by January 10 should suc- "eed. yet it will not succeed unless the people who always stand back of pub lie enterprises of this sort come for ward and give of their time as well as of their money.
 One of the features which will be used in the educational campaign to show the need of adequate hospital facilities such as the new DeaconesS will provide will be a series of pie lures. Beginning this evening these pictures will be shown at the Hip theater. These slides are both educa- tioual and make an interesting study Of the hospital needs of the valley.
 To Hold 12o Beds
 The first few days of the campaign will have as their outstanding feature the cornerstone laying at the Deacon ess hospital on Sunday afternoon at g o'clock. Bishop Adna W. Leonard is 10 deliver the principal address at that occasion and an interesting program with music by the Indian school band will be given.
 The imposing size of the structure is sure to interest those who attend and to bring home to them a realization of what it will mean to complete and suitably equip the structure. The iuilding itself when completed with cut the wing hoped for at some later day, will hold 12O beds and give the valley for the first time adequate hos pital facilities.
