SALUTE TO THE WILL ROGERS HOSPITAL!<br />
f r" i\<br />
r'iic-- i<br />
From every part of the country, from<br />
every segment of show-business, will<br />
come greetings to the patients at the<br />
Variety Clubs-Will Rogers Memorial Hospital.<br />
H"xl7" Christmas cards are being<br />
distributed, each one with room for the<br />
signatures of 30 contributors and wellwishers.<br />
These cards will be attached to<br />
form a five-mile-long greeting to the patients<br />
at the Hospital. Contributions from<br />
10c to a million dollars will be welcomed.<br />
WHY YOU MUST<br />
"HELP CARE FOR<br />
OUR OWN":<br />
o<br />
The Variety Clubs-Will Rogers Hospital is maintained for the benefit of<br />
those within the Amusement Industry suffering from tuberculosis. There<br />
are no patients from outside of show-business. Yet, anyone from any part<br />
of the entertainment business is eligible for treatment without charge to<br />
the patient.<br />
It depends for its upkeep completely upon contributions from the Amusement<br />
Industry. There is no other source of income — and money is desperately<br />
needed at this time.<br />
In addition to medical care for the industry's tuberculous, the hospital<br />
returns them to their jobs in good health, mentally and physically. Last<br />
year, 41 arrested cases were returned to normal living.<br />
o<br />
The Will Rogers Hospital is embarking on a research program seeking the<br />
cause, source and cure of TB infection. This, too, is costly—and this, too,<br />
is necessary.<br />
According to the N.Y. Tuberculosis and Health Association report, "the<br />
average cost of treatment from detection to complete restoration is $30,000"<br />
Yet, there is no charge to our patients. And each patient has a private room.<br />
As part of the industry educational program, free chest X-rays have been<br />
offered to all industry employees.<br />
WHAT YOU<br />
MUST DO:<br />
If you're an exhibitor, get every employee to sign a Xmas Salute Card —<br />
and to contribute.<br />
If you're an employee, contribute willingly to the one hospital that belongs to you.<br />
If you've got a heart.<br />
