 Vicinity
Patients From Many Places and of
 Many Races.

During the past year the Day Kim ball Hospital has rendered wide and efficient service to the people of the communities in this vicinity. The thirty-second annual report for the year ending June 30, 1926. tells of a work more extensive than the public generally realizes.
 In addition to 42 patients remain ing from the year before. S97 patients were admitted In addition Co these there were 527 out-patients. making a total of 1466 persons treated. The number of days care amounted to i2.- 620. divided as follows: Private days care. 444l; semi-private days care, 2447; ward days care, 2475; free days care. 322s; town days care, 29.

There were All males and 4s6 female patients admitted to the hospital There were 430 operations and ss births.
 The average time for patients in the hospital was l4.07 days, although that for free patients was l6.16 days. higher than for any other group. The largest number of patients in the hos pital on any one day was 4s and the smallest was 21. There were TIC pa tients discharged cured. 37 improved. three unimproved. nine were relieved nine were unadvised, nine were trans ferred. % unimproved. nine were not treated. and g died. leaving 40 pa tieuts at the beginning of the new year. The daily average number of patients has been 34. The number of ambulance calls was 10. approximate ly one a week. The average cost per week per patient advanced from S27S0 last year ta S3l.65.
 Many people do not know how many free patients are being treated at the institution and the following statistics will be interesting to them Listed by towns the report for the year just past reads as follows:
 Brooklyn. l patient 1 3 days; Cam terhury. 1 patient. 1 day: Eastford, i patients 36 days: Killingly. 9 pa tients 650 days; no residence, 9 pa tients. 234 days; Plainfeld, 3 patients. 6 days; Pomfret, 9 patients, 22l days: Putnam. 94 patients. l405 days; state poor. l patient. days, Ihomp- son. 34 patients. 527 days; Wood stock, i2 patients. 122 days.

B from Plainfeld. TO from Pomfret. 311 from Putnam. IS from Sterling, 115 from Thompson, one from Westford, five from Willimantic, 77 from Woodstock, and l6s outside the state.

Thanks to the generous response of those friends of the Day kimbsll Hospital who always stand by that institution in it's time of need, over Sl,ooo has been subscribed of the total amount of S2,50o required to pay for the new fire escapes which are being added 10 the building.
 As stated in the issue of The Patriot for last week. the addition of this equipment will make the hospital as nearly safe as it is pos sible under present eireumstanees. The fire escapes which are being added are wide enough to accom-. modate streteher. and with the fire doors between the brick wings of the building and the frame structure. will complete all possi- ble protection which il is possible 10 give until the frame structure is finally and definitely done away with.
