in accordance with copies submitted to each Board member in
writing. Motion was seconded by Mr. Dribben and carried
unanimously.
o
Mr. Basil Hobbs, Mrs. Amy Bravo and Mr. R. Earl Newberry were
present representing the Leukemia Society. Mr. Richard Deeb
was present representing ALSAC - St. Jude's Hospital. Chief
Booth explained to the representatives that the purpose of
the meeting was to attempt to have the two organizations conduct
combined solicitation and to prevent conflict as resulted in
March of 1964. Rev. McBride expanded on the remarks of Chief
Booth. Mr. Richard Deeb stated that the primary object of
their organization was to raise funds for St. Jude's Hospital,
which does research and treats leukemia and related blood
diseases. In answer to a question he stated that no patients
from Pinellas County had gone to St. Jude's Hospital, but he
thought four cases in Pinellas County had been helped through
financial assistance by purchasing drugs, etc. Mr. Hobbs
stated that Leukemia is difficult to diagnose, but at this time
is always a terminal disease. He alao stated that the Leukemia
Society primarily conducts research and seeks qualified people
for the conduct of such research offering them a five year
contract at $15,000 pe~ year. Mr. Hobbs further stated that
as a national representative, he was a paid employee, covering
four states and Mrs. Bravo was also paid, having four chapters
under her jurisdiction.
In answer to a question Mrs. Bravo stated that one local child,
three in St. Petersburg and one in Oldsmar were being supported
by the Leukemia Society through payment of drugs, bills and other
assistance, Both Mr. Deeb and Mrs. Bravo agreed that their
respective organizations did not duplicate each others efforts,
and also agreed their solicitation should be at different times.
At this time the representatives were dismissed but it was suggested
that they wait for a decision from the Board. After the representa-
tives left the room, the Board discussed the matter at length.
