CHOOSE NEW THEME
FOR MISSIONS SUNDAY

An announcement has been re-
ceiyed by the Rev. David w. Baker
from the headquarters of the Lay
mems Missionary Movement, Chica-
go, Illinois, that the theme chosen
for this years 18th annual observ-
ance of Men and Missions Sunday
next Fall November 16) is, World
Missions - The Christian Impera-
tive"
This theme, pointing up the en-
phasis of a recognized world need,
will be discussed at the many con-
ferences and community mems din
ners which are to be held in various
parts of the United States and Can
ada, throughout the current year.
These meetings, inter-denomina-
tlOnal in character, aim to so ex-
tend and deepen the interest of men
in the Christian world mission both
at home and abroad, that they shall
support more generously the mis-
sionary work of the churches with
which they are identified.
The growing success OF Men AM
Missions Sunday has been phenome'
nal. Progress made in it's promotion
is already 33% in advance of las
/ year. To date, assurance of coOpera
tion has been secured in 1882 cite:
and towns, where only 1,905 hat
been enlisted by July "a last year.

: some phase of the Christian mis-
sionary task on the morning c

or Bombs" Last years theme wa

communions will be made fro
time to time.

GOOD RANGE MANAGEMENT
IMPORTANT FOR TURKEYS

Clean, well-drained range is i'm
portant in good turkey range man
agement," says ]. Frank GOrdy,
extension poultryman for the Uni
versity of Delaware. This, together
with careful eye to sanitation will
help prevent many turkey diseases.
Clean range is land on which
there have been no chickens, tur-
keys or other fowls and no drop
pings for at least two years. A
good range will take care of 100
turkeys per acre. A green growing
crop, such, as ladino clover and
orchard-grass combinations will
stand up under heavy usage. Other
crops often used are soy beans and
rape, and grain sorghums, corn and
sunflowers.
A good sanitation program in
cludes feeders and waterers thai
can be moved frequently.
Waterers can be made from but
termilk barrels. Roosts can be made
of 2 #. #. lumber or poles
nailed on supports three feet off the
ground. Range shelters are no
necessary, although some growers
provide them and nail the roost!
on top of the roof for use as the
turkeys mature.
In case of a disease outbreak
Gordy recommends consulting thu
Poultry Disease Laboratory, Stat,
Board of Agriculture. Dover, fol
accurate diagnosis and treatment
Dead birds should be removed
promptly, burned completely o.
buried deeply. Dogs or other ami
mails should not be permitted &C
cess to dead birds.
The most practical and econom
ical means of preventing turke,
disease is rotation on clean range
Chickens or other fowl should no
be allowed to come in contact wit
the turkeys or their range.
Gordy recommends that turkey
be vaccinated for fowl pox whe
placed on range and suggests tn
brush method of applying vaccin
to feather follicles on the uppe
thigh.

Milford Memorial
Hospital News

Coordination, cooperation, stick
to-itiveness, coupled with properly
applied hard work are the neces
sary requisites of a modern sue
cessful hospital. Starting at the
supply and purchasing department,
through which office and storage
room all supplies are channeled to
the diet kitchen, laboratory, X-ray
department, operating room, nurses
stations, including hundreds of
food and drug items, as we'll as
cleaning supplies of many kinds.
If these items are not on hand when
needed the work in that particular
department is slowed up until the
equipment or supplies can be Sc
cured.
The personnel in every depart
ment is so set up and organized
that if more than one in any de-
partment fails to appear for his
appointed task the work must be
carried on by those present, and
often this puts heavy load on
those on duty; so absolute pune
tuality and regular attendance is
required of the personnel in all
sections.
From the operating and delivery
rooms down to the different floors
the doctors, nurses, anesthetists
laboratory and x-ray technicians
must be coordinated and must co.
operate 100 percent if the patients
| hn fn rryhf fnh a.se
entitled, and last but not least by
any means, is the absolute neces.
sity of having the fullest coopera.
ton and coordination from the pa
tients, their relatives and friends
and the general public,
The greatest adjunct this com
munity nOn-profit hospital can have
is hard working, boosting gen
eral public" who will give of thei
time, money and thought to the on,
purpose-that is, to make Milfort
Memorial Hospital an increasin,
help and benefit to the overall
health of the whole community.
