watching others so engaged Mr..

"It seems ridiculous to me-" he

Two Virginia Hospitals
Serve Near Capacity
Despite Fewer Nurses:
By the Associated Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, July
5.-Despite q shortage OF help. par
ticularly of nurses, the Blue Ridge
Sanatorium, State tuberculosis hos
pital near here, is serving its rated
capacity of bed patients and could
accommodate a few more ambula-
tory patients, DR.. Frank Stafford,
superintendent. said today.
The superintendent added, how
ever, that if more nurses were avail
able it would be possible to convert
to hospital use space in one of the
institutions buildings and thus &C
commodate 80 to 40 additional pa
tients, the approximate number OF
those now awaiting admission.
The present situation is better
than it has been at times in recent
years when it has been necessary to
operate below capacity because OF
lack of help, DR.. Stafford said.
He explained that the present in
adequacy of the staff is reflected in
a heavier burden of work for its
members and reduced service to pa
tients rather than in a reduction IN
the number of patients. One nurse
now cares for eight to IL patients
instead of the five to seven regarded
as a desirable work load.
A somewhat similar situation was
reported at the University of Vir-
ginia Hospital by DR.. Carlisle b,
Lentz, administrator.
With little more than a skeleton
staff, the hospital nevertheless is
filled to capacity, he said, adding
that with more help it would be
possible to accommodate more pa
tients.
Although the greatest need at the
university hospital is for nurses, the
help shortage also includes cooks,
