Hospital stands to the front amOnl

on this work of mercy. When ar
emergency case comes in, is there
any delay in seeking to bring com
fort to the injured one? On the con
trary, all haste is made to ease his
suffering. Speed with gentleness is
the word. The nurses and the doc

many more lights than shadows, we
are glad to say and many Of the
shadows soon turning to lights.
In fact the Milford Hospital is so
good and desirable a place to be in
time OF need that in addition to be-
ing popular, it is becoming over
populated. People from much of
lower Delaware crowd its rooms in
search of medical and surgical
care.
The hospital is here to provide
that care-that is exactly why it

this limit: in fact it has passed it.
It is Overcrowded. With ordinary
demands. It will have to turn pa
tients away within the next few
months. With extraordinary de-
mands on its service, it will have to
turn a great many patients away.
We have spoken of the lights and
shadows in a hospital. The clouds
of Over-crOwding are beginning to
cast long shadows in its direction.
The greatest shadow OF all would
be a sign nailed across the front,
door reading: CLOSED! NO MORE
Such a shadow would dar-
ken the lives of many sufferers
men, women and children, and babes
in arms-for they would lose their
refuge in their time of greatest
need.
This greatest shadow must give
way to the light which will shine
from the windows of the great new
hospital which it is planned to build
in Milford to serve the whole of
lower Delaware.
Then all these sufferers will
knock at the door and be admitted.

To the doctor and the nurse, life
at the Milford Emergency Hospital
is likely to move on in well-ordered
routine, but to the visitor there are
many shades of life and color, hap
pihess and sorrow, pain and joy.
There are always the white-linen
n1rses-and nurses always look so
wholesome and so competent-mOv-
ing about their appointed tasks, cas-
ing patient after patient to cOmfor-
table positions giving a cheering
work here, smile there. There are
the brisk and busy surgeons who
can be as encouraging with a word
Of advice as they are deft with a
sealpel. There is the busy front Of
fice,. where the semi-well call for
simple medical advice, or the doors
Of the clinic, where on certain days
there are long lines of patients
waiting for the doctors ministra-
tions. When you look into this hos
pital and go from floor to floor you
see patients of all ages getting over
all kinds of afflictions, either from
disease or accident and they seem
happy. And why not? They are on
the road to recovery and they re-
ceive the most expert care from
doctors and nurses alike.
There are the grown people. who

who play with their toys and read
