Public Response To
Hospital Rules Good
Supt. Breeze, Nurses Appreciate
ThOughtfulnesS OF Public

The response by the public to the
change in rules regarding visiting
hours at the Milford Memorial Hos
pital has been most gratifying. ac-
cording to word received from Mrs.
Breeze. superintendent The change
which drasticaJly reduced the Wis
iting hours was taken most reluc-
family. The realization that rela-
tives and friends of patients in the
hospital would thus be deprived of
large part of the time that they
had been accustomed to spend with
their sick would be a real hardship.
Yet the shortage of nurses made
the change imperative. Consequent
ly. Mrs. Breeze and the nurses at
the hospital wish hereby to express
their heartfelt appreciation for the
way in which the public has accept
ed the change When the emergen-
cy is over without doubt the rules
will be moved back to their former
status as nearly as the circum-
stances will permit.
