The City of Hope is flourish-
ing on just such a fantastic fis-
eal policy. In fact, in forty
years the institution has grown
from two tents on five dusty
acres to a $10,000,000 hospital
and research center on land-
scaped grounds covering seven-
ty-five acres. •

sands of patients and ex-pa-
tients, some requiring years of.
treatment, ever has received a ,
bill.
So how does the institution,
which plans to spend $3,500,000
this year, stay in business?
Forty per cent of its money is
donated by manufacturing asso-
ciations, unions and fraternal
organizations. Sixty per cent is
raised by the City of Hope's 231
"chapters" scattered throughout
the nation. These groups com-
prise a total of nearly 200,000
people who believe that it can
be said: "You have an obliga-
tion to help your fellow man."

Cancer Research Pushed
Besides providing the best of
care, the 400-bed hospital con-
ducts or plans research in each
of the maladies it treats. A year
ago it opened a cancer research
center under Dr. Riojun Kino-
sita., one of the world's top tu-
mor authorities.
There are no race, creed, color
or nationality restrictions at the
City of Hope. If you are wealthy
enough to pay the cost of a dis-
ease, the hospital will refer you
elsewhere. If your income is
moderate, or less. you qualify for
the understandably long waiting
list.
"We don't want the patient to
become pauperized by illness,"
Mr. Goiter says. "The City of
Hope believes in preserving the
family and the home."
If necessary, the hospital will
help find jobs for members of
the patient's family or perhaps
arrange a visit with him. The
hospital is not a charity insti-
tution. Actually, the word "char-
ity" is forbidden.
"We maintain the dignity of
the patient, which is his Ameri-
can heritage," Mr. Golter says.
There are nd wards at the
City of Hope. Rooms have one,
two or three beds. Many rooms
have television sets. Each bed
has a pair of earphones through
Which patients may listen to
classical or popular music and
other programs piped from the
public address center, called Sta-
tion K-Hope. Pictures on the
pastel-shaded walls are changed
every month to provide variety.
Meals are ordered from menus.
If a patient needs glasses or
dental care, oculists and den-
tists provide them. If he requires
surgery, a psychologist condi-
tions him. He is moved to the
surgery building weeks before
the operation so he may become
acquainted with its doctors and
nurses and patients who have
undergone similar surgery.
Many Want to Stay
For convalescents there is an.
auditorium showing the latest
movies free twice weekly, a
chapel offering Jewish, Protes-
tant and Roman Catholic sery.-

building where patients even can
make clothes for their children,
a large library and a cooperative

tients.
