RY RIITH MILLETT

"Park your child with us. De-
livery and pickup service,
says the newspaper ADVERTISE
ment run by a woman VINO
earns her living by taking care
of other peoples children.
That airily-worded ad Just
about sums up the attitude OF
too many young parents toward
their offspring.
Where to park Junior while
they 60 about being gay young
things is the big problem. they
don't even try to keep that TACT
from Junior.
AS soon as he is big enough
TO understand words he hears:
"We'd love to come, If we can
find anybody at all to stay with
Junior"
And he soon gets used to hear
ing his parents blame him Tor
not being able to go where they
don't want to 60. "I'm so sorry,'
his mother COOS over the tele-
phone, "but we can't make it
Saturday night. We've called
every baby-sitter in town and
can't get a soul to look after
Junior. -
All this talk about what to do
with Junior is bound to make
him feel insecure, unwanted and
in the way.
All parents need to get away
from their offspring occasion
ally, and, in order to do so, they
have to make arrangements for
the care of their children.
But they don't need to dis
cuss the problem in front of the
young ones.

Hospitals Bar Many
Due 10 Shortages,
Association Reveals

Every day an average OF 1880
patients Is turned away from the
Nations general hospitals because
|of a shortage Of beds or nursing
personnel, an American Hospital
Association spokesman revealed
today.
George Bugbee, executive director,
said q survey Just completed by
the association showed 32,100 beds
had been withdrawn from service
because OF the current scarcity OF
nurses and other hospital workers.
Many hospitals now able to main
ain their wards at capacity opera
ton win be forced to close some
of them II the personnel situation
becomes worse. the report disclosed.
To the fact that existing hospital
beds cannot be employed fully, Mr..
Bugbee added an estimate that an
additional $4,000 new beds are
needed throughout the country to
provide acceptable standards OF
nursing care.
| Institutions In densely populated
areas have been hardest hit by per-
sonnet shortages, Mr.. Bugbee de-
ciared. The survey showed Is per
cent Of the metropolitan hospitals
have been forced to withdraw some
beds from service, compared with
8 per cent In rural communities.
tuberculosis wards have suffered
most from forced curtailment, with
ATT per cent OF tuberculosis institu-
lions reporting some OF their
facilities closed by lack OF at
tendants.
"The hospital, like every one else
Mr.. Bugbee pointed out. rs faced
with increased costs. and these in
creases must result in higher hospi-
tai bills
He urged increased community
support to help hospitals maintain
high standards Of service to the
public. This support, he said, must
take the form OF financial aid and
assistance In the recruiting OF pro-
fessional and nonprofessional nurses.
The Metropolitan Health and Hos
pital Survey last year showed q
capacity of 3,843 general hospital
beds in the District, compared to
an estimated need of 1910. A Health
Department spokesman said there
were no official figures on the beds
now available.
