’THAT IS IT?
So r.iany people have asked us just
that. -- V/hat is the Agreement be
tween the Cooperating Association
and The Corporation?
’Veil, ladies and ( ontlonon, the
best short answer v/o can give is
tbrt the agreement is a lengthy
document flavored with loyal terms
s omcwhat obs cure in r.oanirg and un
intelligible to the averago nan—
that sots forth the duties, respon
sibilities and rights of these two
organizations in relation to each
other.
V/o feel, the Co-op 7 card feels and
the A.R.E.C. management fools that
there most certainly should be a
more general understanding of the
obligations which have been assumed
by the two organizations to each
other. So beginning next week,
v/o 're ,-oing to start a scri s of
articles on "V/KA T THE CO-O . ..CORP.
AGREEMENT MEANS T0> YOU. ’■ "/atchi

THERE IN THE
Priced with the serious possibility
of the discontinuation of the Val
ley Hospital, individuals and or
ganizations are swinging into line
with military precision chanting
thoir slogan "V/E Must Keep our
Hospital,"
For many mchths wo'vo held our
breaths as the whisper wont around
that tho Hospital might close.
There seemed to be nothing we could
do.
And then after a lot cf investiga
tion and figuring, Dr. Albrecht'was
in a position to toll us "You stand
a fighting chance."
He has said to us: "The people of
the Valley must support the Hospi
tal ACTIVELY and then wo can be in
a position to marshall some of our
oth^r forces. If the people 3hcw
and continue to show that they are
working for the Hospital, others
will join in the fight. But we've
got to start it,"
First, we’ve got to believe in our
Hospital, want it and work to
keep it.
Second, we've <_ot to use it. Don't
put off that tonsil operation or
apendicitis operation that really
should have been done 1" st year.
You suffer doubly--with pain and
inconvenience and if you put it
off too long, you may have helped
to close your Hospital.
Third, pay for doctor end hospital
services. Put it on a cash basis.
Pay up those old bills and do your
share now and from now on!
