Hospital News

The necessity for restricting Wis
itors to patients in the hospital to
certain days and hours was found
to be necessary because of the large
number of friends and relatives
who naturally want to brighten up
their sick associates hours in the
! hospital. However. our lObbieS are
so small, and we have been forced
to use our sun porches for patients,
we could not accommodate all those
who wish to come at the times it
suited them.
Cards specifying the visiting
hours are available at the telephone
take into consideration the fact
that our thought must be primar-
lily for the patients. and when our
rules, which we believe to be neces-
sary. are enforced We hope the rel
atives and friends will consider
with us the' patients welfare rather
than their own pleasure and desire.
The visiting hours are listed below
. and il is necessary to rigidly en-
i. force this program.
