which surrounds all such ins.itu- tions. In the great. and famous New York hospital in New York city, where I was a patient twice, once with a battered ticker. and another time with a tripie-broken ankle, they have rule that no mat ter how well you may be, and how much your doctor youches for you, you cannot leave, unless there Is somebody to accompany you, and you have to leave in a wheel-chair.
 In the New York Hospital they wheel you to the cashiers window and then they desert you, which 10 me has always smacked of a dirty trick. They're kinder at the Water bury hospital. There they wheel you to the cashiers window, and they also wheel you away--to the back entrance. They're taking no chances that you might collapse going down the front step. They're very consid- crate in presenting you your bill, too. They tell you how much you owe, and you give them a check .,. But there's a catch <, After you have been home one day, and pre- sumably able to stand the shock, they send you an amended bill, and you find you still owe 'em ten bucks.
 Although it was permitted ! didn't have a radio in my room at the Waterbury hospital, and so l haven't been following radio at all. Which maybe is a good thing. For if had Q radio ! might never have become acquainted with either of two lads Rih0 for part Of my stay were my stable mates. One was Tom Brown of the Waterbury To0l, for whom Sports Editor John Cluneys sIep- son used to work before he joined the armed forces; the other was Ed Graham Of Esoyill-as nice q guy as I've ever encountered in Q hos. pital room.
 But H ! haven't been keeping track Of radio others have, and my friend Jack Deegan over at WATR has been giving me quite an eaggul about the program, The Nlt Wh Court which for the nonee Is talk. Ing the place of the Duffy's Tavern show over WATR and the Blue.
