Some Considerations Of Maine Hos.
pitfalls

Hewiston JournaD
The hospital budget is the most
sensitive and most deserving OF APP
peals to the present legislature and
deserves a separate and more kindly
consideration.
The amount devoted to Maine by
hospitals is about $135, 900 a year. IL
it costs one hundred dollars to see
a patient thru the average run Of ILL
ness or accident in the hospital-and
this is a ridiculously small average
this cares for 1850 persons; this
cares for all the clinics; all the eye
and ear patients; all the maternity
cases; all the medicines; overhead;
bedding etc. SO far as this State re-
sponsibility may go. -
We rather fancy that, as a whole.
the towns people in most Maine
communities will soon be able to
care for their own hospitals. There
is not city in Maine today that
could not do it if it would-but that
is not the real issue. If they do not
do it-who is to do it? Are they to
run deficits and accumulate interest
accounts, or are they to turn the poor
little ignorant mother away from the
maternity ward, and the boy with the
| broken pelvis and the crushed facial
bones back to his own town sixty
miles away? We are going to have
money for our G. NJ. G. Hospital from
! some of our rich men-in their Wills
| We can see it inthe eyes OF some OF
them we know When the Hospital is
mentioned there is softcned look
| in their faces; sweet purpose,
| alight in their eyes. 1t is happy
| haven for requests. But that does
not alter the equities. The State
has duty in regard to hospitals as
absolute as it has in the red school
! house and far more than it has in
building seven miles of boulevard
/ from Slab City to Podunk.
May we not be cOmmercializing
| our emotions a little bit too much
! when we contemplate Sl0,0O0O0o
! program for the automoblist and a
program that turns the sufferer from
| the gate and that declines to AFFORD
any relief whatever for absolute
! instruction Of little mothers?
! Has any one suggested two-year
| halt in road building. while we do
something for hospitals; teachers,
! etc.-matters OF education and re-
generation. 1t is n poor world; none
! of US is going thru it again under
! the same circumstances. to say the
/ least. We worry great deal about
things that never happen: but one
/ thing is sure--we have pain, acct
! dent. death staring us in the face
every day and each days work is
abundant in the opportunity for
! Mercy. We may not turn the suf-
| ferer from tho door nor leave age
uncared for: nor deny to the agon-
! lied sufferer the relief Of sweet min
| istrations. Forasmuch as we do 1t
, t. the least of these. we do it for 4
! greater andrrcater service. And If
! the State is not concerned in the
work of the Master-woe unto the
! State.

Dear Madam: viii You tell me what
you think OF a girl who would do the
following:
When a boy of II 1 met her. We knew
IL was only a severe case or puppy love.
She went home to not far distant State
and We cOrrCsDonded. learned that /
could never have more than her friend
ship as long as l willing 10 stick In a
rut. 1 was wild and didn't care much for
the better things OF life.
She changed all that. finished my
schooling and went to college, where
took up law. following in my fathers foot
steps. But didn't take to law, so l turned
to what ! liked and l have won out to a
certain extent. and only with her help. /
am now "a and that puppy love has grown
into the most noble love anyone could wish
for But not without her help She urged
me on and on. Wher others would pull me
down. and always gave me to understand
that she would wait

declared my love for her and was accepted
bv al her family a few weeks later l
took her ring to her. But she would ac-
cept il only on condition that she wound
not announce the ehsagFneht t3ciii ah,
had no idea when she would. SO ! did not
give her the ring, preferring to let her
have all the time she wanted 20 play
! still have her love, 7 am sure. I nut
forth the same effort. but Z cont seem 10
be getting any place. She now wants me to
bring her ring To her. But I am unable
TO leave my work Just now. So she shipped
i'm on me one Saturday evening not long
enough for me TO get her ring from the
safety deposit box on Monday. But. no.
she had to get back to Ter work. She lust
works for the lark OF II. She returned
home Monday and quit Wednesday TO 90
with her mother on q little trip. So. what
am I to believer She has many admirers.
an glad OF that And if she did not
care for me why would she have stuck
with me all these years and made q man
OF me- She seems 10 take pleasure TN
parading me to her other friends as what
she calls real man. And if am that.
/ have no one to thank but her. II you
will. unravel the riddle for me.
YOU NEVER CAN TELL.
Would you have me explain every
within OF woman? If I tried. I should
have little else 70 do.
I think YOU need not worry. When
you can get away. take the ring to
the girl. Until then, keep the post
man busy delivering your letters to
her You are foAunate 20 have come
