THIS IS A Telephone PR 2-1800 Woman's World Home Phone JA 7-3784 Doris Lee—Social—Club Editor PRESENTS CHECK—Russell H. Knott, left, of Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, presents Miles A. Sharkey, chairman of the steering committee of the St. Jude Hospital Expansion Fund Drive, with a signed subscription card for $25,000, representing the contribution of the Knott family to help construct the new 125 bed addition to the hospital. Goal of the public subscription campaign is $700,000, to be matched by state and federal grants totaling $1,470,074. St. Jude Hospital Expansion Campaign Launched at Dinner The $700,000 public subscription campaign to raise funds to the campaign which seeks $700,-000 to construct a 125-bed addition to St. Jude Hospital. Patients are being turned away each month because no beds are available. St. Jude Hospital Expansion Campaign Launched at Dinner The $700,000 public subscription campaign to raise funds to expand this area's St. Jude Hospital was officially launched Thursday night at the kick-off dinner held at the Los Coyotes Country Club. Miles A. Sharkey, chairman of the steering committee of the Expansion Fund Drive, presided at the meeting attended by civic and community leaders of the area who are serving as members of the Big and Special Gifts Committee of the campaign. Representing the North Orange County communities served by St. Jude Hospital, committee members heard campaign plans outlined and received materials for their solicitation of industrial and business firms and private individuals. Sharkey delivered the keynote address which officially opened the campaign which seeks $700,000 to construct a 125-bed addition to St. Jude Hospital. "Although total construction costs are estimated at $2,100,000, the sum of $1,470,074 has been granted by State and Federal governments provided that business firms and private individuals in this area contribute $700,000, or one third," said Sharkey. "The urgent need for more hospital beds is clearly shown by the following facts: 1. The government grants of money show that both the State and Federal governments recognize the need; 2. The tremendous growth in population; 3. St. Jude Hospital is 100 per cent occupied, and has been operating at 100 per cent occupancy almost since its opening; 4. An average of 150 patients are being turned away each month because no beds are available." "This critical hospital situation must be recognized by everyone here," he said. "It affects individuals, families, and business firms. The Governments have already seen the need and their grants give us an opportunity to meet the need. However, we must subscribe this $700,000 fund now as the time limit imposed by the government is short." "St. Jude Hospital is operated by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange. The nine Sisters at the hospital receive no compensation for their services. They have dedicated their lives to the service of humanity. They also provided $1,300,000 to construct the present hospital which was considerably more than the $640,000 provided by Federal grants or the $700,000 raised through public subscription in the 1954 campaign. St. Jude is a non-profit corporation and as such is exempt from income taxes. There are no profits, since all funds in excess of income, if any, are used for improvements to the facilities. Income from operations, if any, cannot provide funds for additional building construction." "We need, and we invite, all residents of this area to join us in raising the $700,000 needed to qualify for the State and Federal grants. When we raise this amount the new 125 bed wing will become a reality and St. Jude will be able to do the job that needs to be done. North Orange County and adjacent Los Angeles County residents will then have more adequate hospital facilities." Children of Early Settlers Visit Here YOUR ADVERTISEMENT IS DELIVERED BY CARRIER TO 15,000 HOMES IN ANAHEIM ANAHEIM GAZETTE Children of Early Settlers Visit Here Among visitors to Anaheim during the past week were Miss Bess Schubert and Tony Dickel of Los Angeles, and Mrs. Norvald Ulvestad of San Marino, all guests of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Yungbluth. Mrs. Schubert is a direct descendant of Don Pacifico Onteveras, who sold the land which became Anaheim to the "Los Angeles Vineyard Society," and A. Langenberger, who married the daughter of the Don. Mr. Dickel is the grandson of Theodore E. Schmidt who had the honor of naming our fair city at the historical meeting in 1857 at Luetgens Hotel in San Francisco when the colonists met to name the proposed city. Several names were suggested but "Anaheim" offered by Mr. Schmidt, (a home "heim" in the valley of the Santa "Ana") was accepted.
