longer. The dark underside of good
black storm cloud is too good q bill
board to be neglected. Directly the

a "blue sky" law with vengeance.
Within certain limits the billboard
has its proper function, one which no

COMMUNITY HOSPITAL
(Continued)

! shall endeavor to give a cursory
survey of some of the most important
preliminary considerations in the
planning, building and equipping Of
community hospital.
The birth of hospital should be
considered of sufficient Importance
in community to insure that insti-
tuition being brought into the world
under the most favorable auspices. 1t
should be of thorough acceptance of
all of the obligations that the opera
ton of such an institution entails.
First of all no hospital movement
should be started without very def
nately demonstrated need for an in
stitution of the character proposed.
In order to decide whether or not
there is such need, very careful
appraisal of hospital facilities, hos
pital demand, character of medical
men to be on the staff, and many
other things entering into the opera.
ftion of an institution should be made.
Let it be emphasized that this ap-
praisal should be made with no
thought of personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of any one Individual. A great many
institutions are graphic illustrations
of an attempt to crafty the personal
whim of some one individual developed
totally out of proportion to the
needs of the community and function
ing in a very limited way, whereas
the same expenditure of money, prop
erly applied, would render the COM
munity service much more in keep
ing with it's needs.
A superficial examination of n
/ community's need may disclose that
there is apparently no great need of
hospital at Missouri Valley, as pa
tients have always been taken care of
in their homes or in case of emergen-
cy transported to cities, or institu-
tutions nearby. However, there can
be little argument against the truth
of the statement that a hospital which
is properly planned, equipped, and
conducted, increases the efficiency Of
the medical work in any community,
This is true in the same measure as
it would be in any line of endeavor
where proper facilities are given and
required for efficient work, be it me-
chanical or professional. Let me ask
how your medical men do their most
efficient work unless they have at
their command all Of the facilities for
diagnosis and treatment? The aver
age physician cannot afford to have
in his office a complete pathological
laboratory, adequate X'ray apparatus
and much other expensive equipment,
neither has he the specialized train
ing or experience necessary for its
most efficient operation. Such facili-
ties should be located at central
point. This specialized equipment,
both apparatus and personnel, and
Missouri Valley times. [volume] (Missouri Valley, Iowa) 1874-1931, 1919-07-03

funds necessary for it's operation can
best be secured by GENERALIZATION of
all of the medical efforts in the COM
munity and the cooperation of .the
profession in referring work to this
central point. If this is done and it
can be done with the proper effort,
properly applied-before the hospital
has taken care of single patient, it
has exerted an influence that will
react to betterment of medical con-
ditions in community.
Of primary Importance in establish
ing hospital in any community is
the selection of a Board of Trustees,
which will bring to the contemplated
institution composite of all things
that are necessary in the develop
nent and operation of this very COM
pick enterprise.
Allow me to suggest that for a
community hospital it is important
that this Board be selected from in
fluential civic, commercial, and vel
fare associations and societies, for
the value of having these on Board
of that character is essentially i'm
portant and advisable. The appoint
ment of men on the Board of Trus-
tees simply because of their financial
prestige is not only dangerous, but
would not give to that Board what it
would gain were broad visioned and
successful persons appointed who are
capable of being educated to clear
understanding Of the requirements
and who will insure the same point OF
efficiency in the planning, construc-
ton and operation of medical plant
as attained in our best commercial en-
terprises. The governing body of the
institution should not be too large,
but should consist of men and women
active in the community life of our
city. Men who are willing to give
time and thought to a community
hospital,

Workers. Home Urged

The war provided great impetus
to the movement for decent homes for
employees, said Noble Foster Hoggson
president of Hoggson Bros, builders,
of New York,
"Under governmental auspices and
with government money!" he aided
,s'plants engaged in war work under
took to create villages designed along
model lines to house their workmen
and SO reduce shifting of labor from
place TO place.
ITO ignore our housing needs In our
future calculations will be no less than
a calamity. A man holds his home
sacred above all things. Take his
home away or the right to create d
home and you will produce wanderers
living under conditions not fit for ami
mails. The. result is new members for
incipient bolshevists."

Advertisements on Trees.

Already in nine states the mailing of
advertisements onto trees, sides OF
barns and fences within the limits OF
highways and on property of persons
owning land, without the owners per.
mission, is prohibited by law, Col. Ed.
ward S. Cornell, secretary of the Ma.
tional Highways Protective society
stated at Boston when commenting on
the work his society Is doing to beau
.tlfy and preserve the highways of the
United States.
!. Aside altogether from the stand
point Of benuty, said Colonel Cornell
mailing of advertisements onto trees
is harmful to the trees themselves and
also the fact that heavy nails are left
embedded in the wood renders the
work of saving them into lumber dan.
gerOus to the workers later.
Colonel Cornell added that bill tic
prohibit unlawful signs on highways
had recently been introduced in the
lower house of the Illinois legislature.

Within the next few weeks there
will be opened to the boys and young
men of Maysville and Mason county a
free gymnasium and club rooms, If
the plans being backed by the Red

A very enthusiastic meeting Of many
prominent local business men and

ian church Sunday afternoon when
Mr.. l.. F. Zerfoss, district Secretary

eral years.
1t was proposed that campaign for
$4,000 be put on in Mason county and
with this fund the Y. NJ. C. A. will
equip Red Triangle Club Room and
| gymnasium for the free use of the
young men and boys. For several
years the fact that there was no place
for the young men to spend their even.
ings has played on many local mer
who are backing this movement yer,
strongly.
There will be another meeting Of
the men interested at the Chamber
Of Commerce building on Tuesday
evening when plans will be further
discussed but it seems that the cam.
paign will be success and that the
club rooms and gymnasium will soor
be established.
