WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1922 NEW HOSPITAL WING The proposed new wing of St. Francis Hospital, shown herewith, is to be calied 'Maternity Wing,' and a generous portion of the space devoted to maternity cases. It will accommodate 100 beds, and the rooms are to be moderately priced. Expectant moth: :rs may come to St. Francis with the knowledge that their cases will be cared for as economically as possible. The vacating of the present maternity up a number of inexpensive rooms for section of the hospital will also open general cases. A TO MOTHERHOOD JOSPTL SL0GH St. Francis Workers Stress Need of New Wing Aid to Motherhood is the dominant theme, that workers in the campaign for the wing to St. Francis Hospital are striking, according to sentiments expressed at the various worker's meetings. A letter sent out yesterday to prospective contributors to the cause stresses this point. It asked: "Suppose the stork hovered over your home. You've no assurance that vour wife would be taken care of, un- der present conditions, in any North Shore hospital! For in a territory of 200 square miles--centering in Evans- ton--hospital facilities for bringing babies into the world are greatly be- low the needs. Expectant mothers are being turned away, daily, from the only two hospitals in this whole region. "But the doctors of the staff are helpless in this situation. Every day their patients and patients of many other doctors, are being turned away. What shall we do? We think it wise to build a 'Maternity Wing' at St. Francis. This wing cannot be built without the support of the people we wish to serve. Whether or not your own doctor is a member of the staff-- he is perfectly welcome there--and will be accorded every courtesy. And you are welcome--whatever your creed or race. "When you have read a little more of the work of St. Francis,--on the next pages, you may be moved to sign the enclosed card. That would great- ly hearten us in our work. "It's all very well to talk of 'going to the hospital'--if you've plenty of money to pay all the bills--or if you know some one else is going to pay for you. But for the great number of people who compose our population, it becomes imperative to provide hos- pital quarters that are in keeping with income. And that is what is proposed in the new 'Maternity Wing' at St. Francis--to provide many rooms at a nominal charge. "This four-page letter contains pic- tures of a number of babies who have cause to thank St. Francis and tells about little Robert Francis under the caption 'From a Foundling to one of the Staff'." The story of little Robert Francis is told thus: = "Oh, yes--it's all very well to be held in nurse's arms--and to be the pet Special 3 Days Each Week Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday XXX] ~~ Shampooing . . . 50c Manicuring ... 50c Marcelling . . . . 75c Facials .. ..%.,, 1.25 XXXX3 PHOEBE JANE Beauty Parlors 747 Elm St. Winnetka 822 of the hospital for six weeks, after you've been left on an Evanston back- door step. And it's lovely to become 'one of the staff', instead of nobody's baby. "For that is what happened to Robert Francis. The cast-off, the foundling, became the hospital pet, and after six weeks, found a happy home. "Robert Francis is one of thousands of charity patients that have been taken care of since St. Francis was founded."
