gineered by the committee men
toned above: namely. Mead, Da-

ton developments covering this
campaign will be released TO the
press as soon as q press commit

be informed of campaign de-
velopments.
We must introduce in this
campaign the problem of unity
and pulling together from all
fields Of life, as this is not one
mans job--neither is it any par
cular burden that should be car
ried on the shoulders Of certain
groups. The manufacturing and
mercantile industry must realize
that in introducing their new
plan of disqualification, they have
over-taxed the capacity OF. our
local hospital facilities. There
fore. this community does need
more facilities in order to satisfy
the people who are becoming
more hospital conscious. The
increased personnel at our gov
ernment fields has also added to
this problem and through the
efforts of some of our most OUT
standing and leading citizens in
the valley and city, who have IN
the past proved their worth of
being not only local but national
leaders, have volunteered to do
all they possibly can to see that
the government will endorse this
activity and create an interest in
Miami Valley from the angle of
caring for government employees
in this district.
There are other hospital CAM
paigns on in our community
which should in no way conflict
with our campaign neither
should our campaign conflict
with their campaign in any way.
