MAY 30,197Q HOSPITAL NOTES lArea Residents Graduates OfMCC This year's Salvation Army Doughnut day will be June 1 in Chicago and 135 surrounding communities. The event originated in 1938 with Mrs. .Henry D. Paschen as its original and only chairman in the 41 consecutive years of its existence, during which time it has raised millions of dollars for the benefit of unfortunate people through the social welfare services of the Salvation Army in Greater Chicago. The idea for Doughnut day began on the battlefields of France in 1917 when Salvation Army lassies served coffee and doughnuts to World War I soldiers. The soldiers, bogged down by 36 consecutive days of rain, were restless. Rations were poor so the idea was conceived as a means of bringing them cheer. Soon the project spread to other areas. ,Before long, Salvation Army workers were frying doughnuts for soldiers from one eifd of the trenches to the other. > The famous Salvation Army doughnuts were products of necessity occasioned by shortages of materials. The lassies originally intended to bake pies, cakes and bread to give the doughboys home- cooked treats, but at the front no stoves and ovens were available for baking and supplies were scarce. The first doughnuts were made over a wood fire with a kettle of lard. I Senior Hot Line t Written under the auspices of Lieutenant Governor Dave O'Neal) Q. I have recently heard the term "hospice" used during a conversation relative to health care. What is hospice? A. Hospice is a program of specialized health care. The emphasis is placed on the management of pain and other symptoms associated with terminal illness and care is provided to the family as well as the patient. Hospice makes the family the unit of care, centers much of the caring process in the home and seeks to enable the patient to carry on an alert and pain-free existence. Care of the family continues through the period of bereavement. This concept was developed in London, England and is new in the United States. Q. Who can be involved in hospice? A. The hospice care team. involves physicians, nurses, social workers, pastoral care counselors, consultants^ in­ cluding psychiartrists and physical therapists, and volunteers, all trained in helping and caring for patients and families through the time of terminal illness and bereavement. Staff members, full time and part time, make regular visits and are on call 25 hours a day, 7 days a week, available to make house calls when appropriate to patients in the program. Q. From your definition of hospice, it seems that there is a concept or a specific philosophy that supports the hospice movement. Where can I locate a facility that sponsors this type of care? A. In Illinois, standards are just being developed for the Hospice program, However, there are several experimental and the dough was patted out by hand. The doughnuts were not the main reason for the Salvation Army's presence in the fighting zones, however; men and women were there primarily to give spiritual aid and comfort to the American soldier and his allies, to cheer him up as best they could, to be his link with home and family. \ Since 1917 millions of golden sinkers have been served by benevolent Salvationists to soldiers, firemen, police, disaster victims and others, and Chicagoland is the Qnly area in the country with an official Doughnut day. units.
