Twin Cities Variety Club To Build Heart Hospital
(Continued from Page 1) campus. It will be a four-story, 100bed wing attached to the medical school. Construction is to start as soon as materials are available.
In addition to raising the initial fund. Variety Club has guaranteed to underwrite operation to the extent of $25,000 a year. Conceived principally as a hospital for treatment of rheumatic fever in children, it will provide clinical and outpatient facilities for all types of heart disease and a laboratory is planned for research into the cause and treatment of cardiac cases. First Hospital of Kind
It will be the first hospital of its kind in the nation, devoted exclusively to study and treatment of heart disease. Only at Mexico City is there a similar hospital on this continent.
Variety clubs of the Northwest area, embracing Minnesota, North and South Dakota and western Wisconsin, will be asked to aid in financing this project and the hospital and its clinics and laboratories will be open to patients and practicing physicians from this same area.
Variety Club of the Twin Cities inaugurated the project almost a year ago when it attempted to purchase the closed Motley school in Minneapolis. The club decided to sponsor the hospital as a permanent project after Dr. Harold S. Diehl, dean of medical sciences at the university, pointed out that heart disease takes an annual toll in the United States almost four times greater than the nation's battle casualties.
Other Philanthropies
Previously, the Twin Cities Variety Club had devoted its major charitable activities to providing thousands of quarts of milk annually for underprivileged school children and to aiding the Sister Kenny Institute for Poliomyelitis, to which last year it contributed more than $83,000.
Need for research into heart dis-' ease is vital, Dr. Diehl said, pointing out that 273,000 men of the first 4,000,000 examined for selective service were rejected because of damaged hearts.
Detailed plans for the Variety Club's fund raising campaign are being formulated and will be announced soon by Chief Barker A. W. (Art) Anderson.
