the Hospital. Th. problem v;as pre
sentee to individuals and organiza
tions that riipht possibly be in a
position to help the I.'atnnuska Val
ley Hospital. Ho talked with Or.
Colvin and at the request of Colon
el Laurence Westbrook in Washington
he presented the report of 1 is ef
forts to hint and also pave him the
arguments and reasons for the con
tinuation of the Hospital.
In spite of the expenditure of much
time and effort by Dr.Albrecht, it*
was found to be impossible to se
cure any endowment or assistance
xrom outside sources. However, two
probable sources of help were dis
covered. "It is now felt that with
the cooperation and assistance of
the^proplo of the Valley, which is
of the utmost importance, arran o
r.ents may bo made with two depart
ments of the Government which*in
time would secure financial rid for
the Hospital," says Dr. Albrecht.
'yho future of the Matanu ka Valiev
fiOspitc 1 pends up m tl uccoss
ful completion of a four uoint -ro
trarn, the failure of any one of
which will place the institution on
an unsafe financial ’uisis and lead
bo eventual cl 1 coontinuation of the
Hospital. These four points ire.
1. inn b Q-i o.iists must face soiir v,,~,ly
their responsibility of usirm! the
hospital and expecting to pay
services within a reasonable ler "eh
of time. °
2» 1rivate work must be encouraged s
as to include more and mere 11 old set

ation employees, etc.
3. The contracting of beds for tu
berculosis patients with tne Office
oi Indian **ffairs, which can bri ^
considerable aid in bringing cash"
returns and assist in carin, f^r on
already necessary operating overhead
* The establishment of this Hospi
tal as a Demonstration Unit for the
Division of Llaternal and Child We 1
faf°» v/hich may bring through Fodorc
matching funds considerable financia
•aid.
Jhe first two points arc up to the
people of the Valley to carry out,
ane on their determination to hole
rmp.nds tne successful carr^ir out
of the third and fourth points"and

the Ilatanuaka Valley, The Hospital
