but must give a very great deal Of
study and research to it. There
fore, it was we took months get
ting such information as we could,
formulating our own ideas, con-
sidering the many and varied
needs and conditions which we
might have to meet and, in the
doing of that, consulted with some
of the best informer people avail
able not only here but outside the
State. We very soon came to the
conviction" DR.. Candee continued
that in order to establish a Wei
fare Home which would be for
the welfare of our occupants, we
must provide for the proper and
modern physical care of those who
come to us. A very large per
centage, 78 per cent, of those at
present occupying this Home are
over the age of so, Al are entirely
bedridden and many are in need
of regular medical and nursing
care although not entirely OF
wholly confined to their beds. Most
of these dear old people are in
such condition that their suffering
can be very much AlIeviated if not
entirely relieved. Besides these
there are some not as far advanc-
ed in years who very emphatically
need some hospital and medical
care. They have no place to go,
no home and some of them cannot
be cared for in their homes. It is
to meet such needs as this that
our plan makes, as the key and
center of all, the Medical Center
Building. We have projected our
plans far into the future. We have
so constructed the building that
whatever might be the needs that
would develop in years to come,
whether we have 300, 400, 600 or
800, this Medical Center Building
can be so adapted that, according
to our best and most expert con-
sultant advice, it will take care of
such semi-hospitalization as will
be required We want it distinct
ly understood that the Medical
Center Building is not a hospital
as such and does not in any way
compete with the hospitals of the
State, but is designed to do what
ever hospital work may be requir-
ed of us to supplement rather
than supplant the other establish
ed hospitals. We look upon this
as the very center of the Welfare
Home plan. But in addition to
this, there are a great many who,
while not physically able to work,
practically all of them because of
advanced years (there are 196 at
present in the Home over the age
of 60 years. ought to be taken
care of not in a hospital or a
semi-hospital. Therefore we are
building this Home upon the unit
i pan ne law iGHlllG &C IudI dS
far as possible the inmates of the
Home be grouped according to
their temperaments, ability, anc
various physical and mental con-
ditions with a view to their ment-
al and physical betterment
Therefore our plans include what
we cali pavilions. This one pa.
vilion unit which we have erected
is caring for 76.
Not An Institution But a Home
'These units we feel make this
Welfare Home a home rather thar
an institution and we have en-.
deavored to SO design the rooms
and furnish them that there
should be the home atmosphere
and less and less of the institu.
tional. We will not be able tc
carry out this mandate of the Law
in anything like the way that we
should until we are able to pro-
Smyrna times., 1933-10-18

vide our recreational and occupa-
tional building What we have
built and what is now opened and
dedicated has provided those nee
essary ground work constructions
which will enable the adding of
units as funds are available, or as
needs would demand, with the
very least possible additional ex-
penditure. The building of the
power house to care for the needs
of very much larger Home than
this, this very Medical Center
Building designed to furnish ade-
quate hospital care for two or
three times the number that we
have now if it should be necessary
all this ground work has been
done so that whatever further we
may be called upon to do or may
be enabled to do, can be done with
the least possible additional ex-
penditure and with the least pos
pible delay. In planning these
buildings the architects and your
commission have had two things
constantly in mind. In the first
place we were determined that as
far as modern engineering and
construction makes possible, these
buildings were to be fireproof. OF
course we feel a very big respon-
sibility towards all those who
come under our care and we made
up our minds that in no way
would we permit ourselves or the
State of Delaware, to ever bear
the burden or responsibility for
any cataclysm so long as it were
possible for us to avoid it. And
the constructing of these buildings
fireproof has helped us also in the
achievement of our other purpose,
for the second thing we have con-
stantly borne in mind was the
matter of maintenances and up
keep. There is of course "a penny
wise and pound foolish policy
wrich might have enabled us to
cheaper the construction in a
good many ways but we have built
with a view to permanency and
durability that will greatly reduce
the cost of maintenance for a
good many years.
Low Capita. Cost Per Inmate
Even at that, we are very glad
to report to you, Governor, that
the per capita cost per inmate for
the whole is $251.O5 below the av-
erage cost per inmate in similar
institutions in Maryland, Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey and for the
three former county almshouses
of Delaware, and we would like to
add that with any additional units
that average cost will of course be
reduced, because of the fact that
we have already built and INSTALL
ed certain things that do not need
to be duplicated in any new or
additional construction. We feel
that the architects have been sig
nally successful in combining and
harmonizing permanency and fire.
proof construction with that
which is architecturally and artis-
tically beautiful. One thing which
we feel certain will impress all of
our visitors today as they go
through the buildings and inspect
them, is the attractiveness and the
beauty of the different colors that
are on the walls. We feel that we
want to give a good deal of credit
to Mr.. Massena and Mr.. DUPONT
for thus making more homelike
and beautiful these rooms, instead
of finishing them in the usual in
stitutionalized white and we are
told at practically no more than
SIS additional expense. There are
other details that it might be in

The prime minister admitted
that the American refusal might
be calculated to make other ma

themselves against depreciating
