RECORD to Get Maytor McKinley Cemetery Facts

Maytor Hoppenyan McKinley, West Coast speculator who is behind the pending plan to construct a $50 million cemetery on Windward Oahu, is a man of action.

On August 29 the RECORD reported in full how and why the plan has aroused "the suspicion of important segments of the business world here."

On September 6, by radiogram to the RECORD Mr. McKinley said:

"Am writing letter relating to actual facts and records. Appreciate your courtesy of. my efforts."

Mr. McKinley's letter was not received at press time for this week's RECORD.

According to Mainland sources, Mr. McKinley's financial credit rating is good. He is described as a vigorous promoter and personally worth "about three million dollars."

Mr. McKinley evidently enjoyed the RECORD'S 9th Anniversary-Labor Day issue of 88 pages because in his radiogram he said:

"Congratulations your Labor Day issue. Expressions by advertisements of so many friends exemplifies support and appreciation."

But what is so complicated about opening and heating a can of soup, making some toast, or preparing instant coffee or tea? Why cannot a night nurse do these simple things after the kitchen to closed? Is it just too much trouble?

It is only common humanity to feed the hungry. If our hospitals are too big, too complex, too impersonal to do these small kindnesses for the sick, something is very wrong.
