Hospital al BeIvoir
To Care for Many in
District, Nearby Area

Soldier patients from Army install
lations within a 70-mile radius Of
Washington have been sent to Fort
Belvoir since it's station hospital
has become a regional hospital, Fort
Belvoir reported today.
Many of the officers and enlisted
men who previously would have gone
to Walter Reed Hospital are being
sent to Fort Belvoir. A number of
those who are being ''reconditioned"
before returning to duty previously
were Walter Reed patients.
The hospital has facilities for l.
200 patients, although part of the
unit had been closed since the train
ing program at the fort passed it's
peak
Fort Belvoir said the hospital is
about half full now, but the increase
in patients may make it necessary
to move the recondltIonlng secUlon
TO other quarters and take over
some additional structures.
1t was expected that the hospital
would expand its care of more COM
plicated types of medical cases. Only
those patients in this area requiring
highly specialized attention now will
be sent to other hospitals
Col. Joseph R. Darnall, who di-
rected the European theater of
operations disqualification program,
heads the new regional hospital.
Patients will come to the hospital,
according to Fort Belvoir, from the
Army War College and General Dis
pensary in Washington, Arlington
Hall, Vint Hill Farms, Fort Myer,
Washington National Airport, Boil
ing Field, Andrews Field, Camp
Ritchie, Camp Detrick, EdgeWood
Arsenal, Aberdeen Proving Ground
and the ROTC cadets at Howard
University, George Washington Uni
versity and Georgetown University.

Small Rockfish in Area

A three-man committee of the
Arlington Fairfax Walton League
has been appointed by George P
Grove, president, to draft legisla-
ton to prohibit the taking of rock
fish under 16 inches from nearby
Maryland and Virginia waters.
The female fish does not spawn
until it is approximately 16 inches
in length and as long as smaller
fish are being taken by commercial
fishermen it will cause a decline in
the stock, hackers of the proposal
said.
The resolution will be presented
to House members from Virginia
and Maryland. Six Eastern States
already have adopted similar legis-
lation.

TypOgraphers
Ask Wage Boost

Further wage increases for mem
bers of the typographical Union
appear imminent as the union re-
opens the question of wages, due
to the change in the Little Steel
Formula.
Along with other union locals,
printers employed at the Wyan-
dotte News Herald have requested
az increase from s1.5611 per hour
to s2.03 per hour with a wider diff
ferential for night work and third
shift workers than now prevails in
the present contract.
Efforts are being made to reach
a. agreement on wage rates. 1t has
already been decided that in the
event an agreement is not reached,
the controversy will be settled by
arbitration.
A committee representing pub
fishing firms in Wayne County has
already agreed that any increase
which may be granted through ar
bitration will be retroactive to No
vember IL, 1945.
Members of the stereotyperS

Wounded Veterans Wife Donates
Portion of Allotment to Var Chest

Out OF her meager $50 a month
allotment, the wife of an Army
veteran hospitalized in Kentucky
donated few dollars all she
could afford to the Downriver
Community War Chest Fund drive.
She gave the money, she told War
Chest workers, because she appre-
ciated the work that the USO had
done and the entertainment it had
provided her husband and other
soldiers at the Army hospital. Her
husband, she continued, had been
hospitalized for Is months and ex-
pected to be patient at the hos
pital for another eight months.
Over $4,000 has been received so
far in the Downriver War Chest
campaign. Since a great many of
the reports are not yet in, indica-
tions are that Downriver may meet
i, quota if everyone who can af-
ford to do so makes his contribu-
ton toward humanitarian services
supported through donations to the
War Chest, drive officials said.
1.-THE health, welfare and recrea-
tional services of the Community
Fund agencies are depending upon
this campaign" Mrs. Frances Kirby,
executive secretary of the drive
added. Our Allies both young and
old, will feel the results of this
campaign. Although many persons
have donated generously, there are
some few who to date have not
made a contribution.
McCord corporation employees
gift of SLAP is 112 per cent more
than last years donation. Other
Chest contributions received this
week included Pennsylvania Salt
corporation gift of $1,000 and Hal
owax corporation gift of S4OO.

Selling Michigan to Michigan
people" should be a major activity
of the Michigan tourist industry,
according to Governor Harry F.
Kelly.
Kelly aired his views before men,
berS of the Michigan Tourist Coun-
Gil which met recently at Higgins
Lake. The council, state agency.
comprises the secretaries of the four
regional tourist associations and a
number of other interested citizens.
The governors statement was
made as a comment on the need
for greater advertising promotion in
Michigan and nearby states of the
Middle-West and less promotion on
national basis by which the travel
attractions of Michigan would be
presented to residents of California,
Maine, Texas and other states Of
the Union.
It is this writer's conviction that
the Michigan tourist industry Is
missing a good bet in preservation
and promotion of some of Michigan's
unique historical landmarks.
