Many residents in Highâ€" land Park do not realize how comâ€" pletely modern our hospital is. It has everything from a miniature laundry to ice machines . . . with every ounce of space utilized, â€" Under the direction of modest and efficient Miss Marjorie M. Ibsen, the hospital makes the utmost use of its upâ€"toâ€"date surgical and medical equipment. Included in some of the fine facilities are an iron lung and huge Xâ€"ray machines. Saving much time in removing emergency patients to the operating room, a new elevaâ€" tor has been installed, which has an outlet to the emergency entrance at the rear of the hospital. â€" Not only has professional equipâ€" ment been improved with the times, but the grounds and buildings have also been ameliorated. Clavey nurâ€" series recently donated shrubs for the rear grounds of the hospital. The gardens are beautified by compeâ€" tent caretakers. Everything is run smoothly in our hospital. One department is interâ€" connected and is dependent upon anâ€" other. It has services in general medicine, general surgery, cancer, dermatology, gynecology, neurology, obstetrics and many other medical catagories. It can handle 45 adults and five children, and at the moment has approximately 35 adults and 14 babies under observation. The largâ€" est baby weighs 8 lbs. 11 oz., while the smallest tips the scales at only 2 lbs. 10 oz. Our hospital is a stage. It has a great drama showing every hour of the day. Emergency cases are rushâ€" ed in, surgery is done at any time needed, and life is given by the many mothers cared for at the hosâ€" pital. Few people are now found who regard the hospital as a thing of dread, as they used to. It is one of the largest industries in the country. There are about 8,000 hosâ€" pitals in the United States and Canâ€" uda. The value of these, including grounds, buildings and equipment, in 1924, was estimated at about five thousand million dollars . . . four times the assessed valuation of the real estate of Chicago. Over 10,â€" 000,000 patients annually are cared {or in these institutions. The hospital industry is not ahg-! nant. It is one of the most progresâ€" sive industries we have today. There are about 720,000 patients in hosâ€" pitals right now, and approximâ€" ately 700,000 ‘hospital workers carâ€" ing for them , . . not including about 97,000 staff physicians.

The school takes care of eduâ€" cation. Our churches give us our spiritual needs and lastly, our hosâ€" pitals render us physical needs. We no longer think of the hospital as a gloomy place where sick persons are housed, but instead we KNOW our hospital to be a modern, cheerful edifice that cares for us in time of distress. * The twentyâ€"second anniversary of the founding of the hospital will be celobrated July 14. In June, 1916, a group of citizens solicited the coâ€" operation of a number of public spirited men and women, who deâ€" cided that a hospital was needed for the welfare of the community. On July 14, 1918, a 25 bed hospital was opened #o the public. In 1924, an addition was built which raised the accommodation to 50 adult beds, 17 bassinets and three children‘s cribs. This also provided additional space for Xâ€"ray and pathological laboraâ€" tories, laundry and central kitchen. Fourteen years ago Miss Ibsen joined the staff of the hospital. "In the past three years there has been a gradual increase in the need for hospital beds," she explained. This is probably due to the natural growth in population and the fast moving modern life that we lead. The type of cases vary. There are more accident cases some days, while at other times the greater maâ€" jority of patients are suffering from an ailment. Nowadays people WANT to go to the hospital in time of distress, inâ€" stead of sunning it. It has become a part of our lives and wellâ€"being. More Highland Parkers should visit THEIR hospital to appreciate its extensiveness, and not wait to be a patient and then be grateful for such a wonderful institution. According to Miss Ibsen, who acâ€" quired her higher education at Drake university and has behind her years of invaluable experience as a nurse and teacher, the hospital is not a seasonal business. It depends on what one calls "busy" before one can decide whether it has seasonal cycles or not. A hospital can be just as busy with ten patients as with full capacity. "We have more paâ€" tients in the summer months due to planned hospitalization. There are more ‘short‘ emergency cases in these months because of youngsters working â€" and â€" other contributing factors," Miss Ibsen commented. Like every good hospital, the Highland Park hospital subscribes to this creed: "Reverently do I pledge myself to the wholeâ€"hearted service of those whose care is intrusted to this hosâ€" pital. "To that end I will ever strive for skill in the fulfillment of my duties holding secret whatsoever I may learn touching upon the lives of the sick. "I acknowledge the dignity of the cure of disease and the safeguardâ€" ing of health in which no act is menial or inglorious. "I will walk in upright faithfulâ€" ness and obedience to those under whose guidance I am to work and I pray for patience, kindliness and understanding in the holy ministry to broken bodies . . .

Dear Adolf : I suppose I should call you "der Fubrer," but seeing I am just a plainr_A_merAic:n,_ I‘ll call you Adolf. Nothing has happened here since I last wrote, except the governâ€" ment‘s appropriation of many bilâ€" lion dollars to defeat your inevitable ambitions in the Western Hemiâ€" sphere. bye the bye, I noticed your mustache was a bit ragged in your latest photo. People over here are having about it . . . you must think of your personal appearance as well as your ambitions. Please say hello to the Nazi ofâ€" ficial greeter for me. Last time I heard of Herr Himmler he was planâ€" ning a "secure" future for the French people in airâ€"cooled concenâ€" tration camps. He is so thoughtful Adolf . . . but when you tire of him, just send him to one of his own "reâ€" sorts" for a stay. Concerning German propaganda. It isn‘t going so well as you exâ€" pected. The American people, for some reason, just don‘t go for that stuff Herr Goebbels sends from Berâ€" lin. I guess they don‘t understand Nazi lingo about having a "pure" population.

After all, one must keep his word, mustn‘t one? Dear My power is growing every day ... you no doubt read of my great feats in your newspapers. Of course Engâ€" land has quite a navy, but hasn‘t my Hermann, with his air foree, taken good care of them already?
