Rev. Cecil C. Urch officiated, with the Legion post of Woodstock in charge of graveside rites. Interment was in Oakland cemetery, Woodstock. The deceased was- born July 31, 1894, in Merrill, Wis., the son of Benjamin and Mary Salter Fish. Survivors include his wife, Vera; a daughter, Joyeann (Mrs. Albert Adams) of McHenry; a son, Gilbert, of Bountiful, Utah; five grandchildren, three sisters, Mrs. Arthur Richtmyre, Mrs. Joseph Willem of Racine, Wis., and Mrs. Warren Lansing of Kenosha, Wis.; three brothers, Alex and Andrew of New Lisbon, Wis., and George of Woodstock GERTRUDE FLETCHER chance to recuperate as rapidly as possible," Hanson continued. '•"Just as cities and villages restrict noises in the hbspital zones, so also we try to keep down noises and distraction that might make the patients' stay uncomfortable." Regulations concerning visitors to the maternity department are set up by the State Department of Public ^-Health. Husband and one other person over 16 years are the only visitors permitted in the maternity department, for often the patient is in such condition physically that she wants no other visitors. There are some regulations regarding children that Memorial hospital must consider for the benefit of the patients. Before bringing children to visit, Hanson suggests you call' the administrator to make arrangements. "We do permit visiting by 'nearest of kin' on the day surgery is scheduled and also if the patient is in critical condition," Hanson continued in discussing exceptions to the preacriDfed rules. - "We welcome interested groups Who would like to visit our hospital, inspect the facilities, learn about the operation of the hospital, and find out about the many departments. Groups can make visiting arrangements by calling the administrator's office." Hanson offered several suggestions to help make everyone a better visitor--a more considerate guest of the patient. Remember tihe main reason for your visit is to cheer the patient, he suggested. Don't stay too . long because there might be someone else waiting tc visit the patient too. Smoking while visiting doesn't help -- it might bother the patient ; you are visiting or the patient in the nearby bed. Walk quietly aind By Marie Schaettgen Americanism In 1927, in a conrerence held in Washington D.C., leaders of five large veterans' organizations defined Americanism as follows: "Americanism is an unfailing love of country; loyalty to its institutions and ideals; eagerness to defend it against all enemies; undivided allegiance to the flag; and a desire to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity." At our February meeting, in keeping with the spirit of this declaration of Americanism, Mrs. Ray McGee, Americanism chairman of our Unit, presented a patriotic program. Kenneth Larson recited the "Gettysburg Address" and John Olson ran films on the subject of George Washington. Also at this meeting, sixteen new members were initiated and welcomed into the auxiliary.
