by the reporter who was visiting the
/ hospital. LAST year we thought we
] had very successful celebration"
continued DR.. Carlisle, "but this year
the attendance of interested persons
/ vastly surpassed last Hospital Day
and everyone seemed more interested
! in what we are actually doing for the
| disabled ex-service men hosptalized
here. One could easily see that the
people marveled at the completion Of
the equipment which has been fur
nished the hospital by the U. S. Vet
Grams Bureau. There were only ex.
pressions of admiration for the APP
pearance and equipment of our oper-
ating room, occupational therapy de-
partment, physiotherapy department.,
library, school and scholastic depart
ment, psychological clinic and lastNbut
not least the large kitchens and dining
rooms with the modern gas range on
which all the cooking is done and the
honey round tables, with table cloths,
clean dishes and attractive dining
room fittings"
"Open House" Every Year.

to continue the same elaborate open
! house" anniversary each year. DR..
| Carlisle stated, however, that while
May 18th is always a day for public
4 inspection, yet u. S. Veterans hos
pital No. 81 is always ready to re-
ceive visitors and anyone who wishes
to look over the hospital at any time
is very welcome to do so. 1t may in
terest the visitors who saw the hos
pital yesterday to know that Hospital
No. 81 is considered to be one of the
best Of its type caring for nervous
types of cases, in the whole United
States. The building is fre-proof con-
struction, the equipment is up-to-date
and, as shown by the zeal of the per-
sonnet yesterday in their efforts to
make the day pleasant for their Wis
itors, there is no doubt that the hos
Ipital staff as a whole is of high spirit,
morale and operates on a high scale
\ of efficiency.
