Enthusiasm is already being shown
for the debt-clearing campaign for St
Mary's hospital Unsolicited subscrip-
tiOns are already being received, al
though the campaign will not begin un-
til July r.
The district chairmen who have
charge of the campaign in different
parts of Rusk and adjoining counties
have been appointed and their names
appear below.
The district chairmen are now ap-
pointing their solicitors and planning
their campaign with the view of start
ing it with full forces on Monday, July
12 and completing the work in as short
time as possible. The Ladysmith city
territory, in charge of ]. L. McCorisOn,
has been divided into wards, eaah
chairman to appoint his or her own So
licitOrs.
Banquet Thursday Evening, July
A banquet will be given by the COM
mittee to all the district chairmen and
their solicitors, Thursday evening,
July s, at q 80, at the Army and Navy
Club. The Service Star Mothers will
have charge of the spread and the BAN
quet will be held for the purpose of ae-
quainting the solicitors with the work
before them and instructing them as to
the best method of carrying out the
campaign. The principal speakers at
this banquet will be we'll known men
from out of town.
The big feature in connection with
the hospital campaign is the fact that
no one will be asked to donate a dollar.
Certificates in denominations of $40,
$50, SO, $1OO, and up will be issued and
will be good for hospital services for
five years. These certificates will be
transferable to husband or wife, or
any child under Is years of age.
Endorsed By All Churches
The campaign to reduce the big hos
pital debt is endorsed by the pastors of
all the Ladysmith churches, which is
ample evidence that st. Mary's hos
pital is nOn-Sectarian and conducted on
nOn-sectarian lines.
All who come to the doors of ST.
Mdry'S hospital are treated alike, whe-
ther rich or poor, and without refer
ence to religious creed. Nine hundred
patients have been taken care of since
the hospital was started June 5,191S.
yTrhn hn in t00 IN
the Sisters in charge are the most lib
eral in their praise of the manner in
which the hospital is conducted.
The usual method of raising money
for institutions of this kind is by do
nations and gratuities, but no one is
asked to give in this campaign. as the
certificates issued for the money sub
scribed are good for hospital services,
dollar for dollar. No plan could be
more fair and a sufficient amount
should be subscribed so that the heavy
debt can be substantially reduced to
such an extent that the carrying char
geS of the debt will not work hard
ship on the Sisters in charge.
Solicitors Should Volunteer
Hundreds of solicitors will be need
ed to complete this campaign quickly
and successfully, and if you can spare a
few hours during the week of July II
to II, you are asked TO get in touch
with your district chairman and vOlun-
tcer your services. A booklet showing
the names of all the subscribers, tOgeth-
I,oI I,1
published at the close of the campaign
and presented to all subscribers, and
every family in RuSk and adjoining
counties benefited by the hospital
should be represented in this list. =
