Mr. Herbert Rodde, the Adminâ€" istrator of the Highland Park Hospital Foundation, gave a most comprehensive report to the womâ€" en of the Auxiliary at their Auâ€" gust meeting on the changes that Rodde Reports On Changes To Be Made In H. Park Hospital wing into a chronic and geriatric unit. This will consist of 22 beds for patients to be rebabilitated and‘sent back to their homes, Surgeon General approves the Hillâ€"Burton Grant. Work will be .To provide any deterrent to such crimes, it seems to us that the first requirement is a larger police force, which we won‘t get until the city can get enough money to hire more men. As for the attack on the officer, the wonder is that the system of having only one man to a squad car at night hasn‘t resulted in such an occurence before. Again, however, the an« SWer seems to lie in a larger police force, and once, again, until the city gets more moneyâ€"no more police officers. â€" * How Much? â€" . Those same two questions, we think, might well be used as a measuring stick for many proposals offered these days. Every family man ought to have a $100,000 life insurance policy so that his family would not want should anything happen to him. However, the many families whose heads cannot afford such a policy, have to get along the best they can when death strikes. Similarly, citizens who know the facts of life, expect only such "insurance" from the government as can be bought with the taxes those same citizens are able to pay. |, _ â€" The completed third floor will have identical Aacilities as the surgical floor. It will house 30 beds consisting of 13 twoâ€"bed acâ€" commodations and . 4 â€" private rooms. This will increase the hosâ€" pital bed compliment from 83 to 113 beds and 20 bassinettes. The physical therapy will be completed in this final expansion construc tion program. Mr. Rodde also in dicated that the rate of growth of the community indicates even greater expansion in the future. Today, there are 53 men on the Staff â€".representing _ practically every specialty, and every effort is being made to have the interne training program start in June 1952. Up to recently, Highland Park has béen generâ€" ally free from crimes of violence, but a strong arm robbery and an attack on a police officer point up the fact that it can happen hereâ€"just as it is happening in other cities and towns all over the country. A headline in one of the daily papers says that Anthony Edenwants closer ties between the United States and Great Britain. To us, that raises two quesâ€" tionsâ€"how much would it cost and can we afford it? Vol. 40; No. 26 At the present time, Highland Park is contemplating the care of polio cases. As soon as the in terne program starts, the hospital will be able to care for the acute polio patients.

He stressed the fact, on the avâ€" erage, today‘s hospitalization costs are $5 to $10 less; 30 years ago a person was hospitalized for two to three weeks, and then convalâ€" esced at home two weeks before Mnrl*g a productive life. Today, fi& the antibiotics and early ambulation, a patient is reâ€" turned to a productive capacity in rate is a great deal lower. The Auxiliary presented the hospital with an incubator for premature â€" babies, which . has pleased the Pediatric Staff. Four invalid walkers, with the promise of hospital equipment by the auxilâ€" were admitted and 53 babies were delivered.
