FEW HOSPITALS IN STATE SHOWED PROFIT FOR YEAR "Facts About Illinois Hospitals," a new report of the"Illinois Hospital association, reveals the latest available statistics about our hospitals. Some of the highlights are: Only one and one-quarter percent of all hospital beds in Illinois were operated for profit lasl year. Of the short term hospital beds in the stale, over two-thirds are maintained by not-for-profit community or religious organizations. Almost all of the balance is made up of local, state and . governmental hospitals. There are 106,895 beds in Illinois hospitals. New beds in short-term hospitals increased by 1,501 last year. Three new hospitals were open and numerous additions were completed. There was a decline of 1,501 beds in state mental hospitals, reflecting increased out - patient treatment and the opening of new psychiatric units in general hospitals. A growing trend in the care of mental patients is shown by the fact that nineteen cornnriunity hospitals now maintain 845 beds for such patients. Despite the closing out of some beds in state institutions for mental illness, these hospitals still operate 50,589 beds, compared to their licensed capacity of 34,509. The difference represents continued overcrowding.' Tuberculosis hospitals had one fourth of their beds empty Jtist year, although there was a small increase in admissions over the previous year. New surgical techniques and drug therapy, however, have made treatment of tuberculosis more effective. The average cost per patient day in short term general nonprofit hospitals was $36.02 an increase of 8 percent over the previous year. Contributing substantially to the rise is the fact that in short term general hospitals 226 full time people are employed for every 100 patients, compared to 136 in 1945. Salaries for hospital employees have increased sharply, particularly for professional personnel. The average monthly "going" salary for all employees has increased on an average by about one fourth during the past five years. (Cost of living has increased about 12 percent during this period.) NAME GRAND JURY Selected for service on the grand iury for the September term of court are Peter A. Freund and Herbert Berry of McHenry. The supplemental panel includes Dan Johnson and John Gillis of McHenry. Threading one's way through crowded traffic or moving along at a breezy clip on a fast expressway can be safer than driving on a quiet back road with hardly another' car in sight, according to the institute for Safer Living, linger the latter conditions menWil and physical reflexes are freed from alertness, and the car may stray off the road along with the driver's attention. Today's driving, especially on higher speed expressways requires a degree of judgement, skill, and alertness unknown a few years ago, according to the Institute Ar Safer Living. Equally as important as your own driving ability is the condition of your car. Good driving demands top mechanical and physical performance.
