Milford Memorial
Hospital News

Auxiliary workers, such as nur-
ses aides and orderlies occupy an
important place in the hospital or
ganization. They perform many of
the routine duties which are time
consuming and yet add so much
to the comfort and welfare of the
patient.
They run the errands, supply the
ice water, change the flowers, help
serve trays, feed helpless patients,
clean and make up empty beds,
battle less seriously i'll patients,
feed and change the babies, comb
patients hear, rub backs and any
number of other tasks necessary
to keep the wards functioning
smoothly and we'll.
In the Milford Memorial Hospi-
tai we have been especially for
tunate in securing a sufficient
number of good, conscientious
aides and orderlies. Most of these
workers have received special in
structions from the same instruc-
tor who teaches the student nur-
ses. With the combined supervis-
! ion OF this instructor and the head
nurse in charge of the ward in a
very short time they are able, to
go about their tasks with a great
deal of confidence and interest and
are real help to the nurses.
1t is with the help of this group
that the high standards of nursing
care are being maintained in our
hospital at a time when interest
in the study of nursing by the pub
lie seems at a particularly low
lebb. Without the services of the
nurses aides the graduate nurse
would not be able to take care O1
the wants of her patients as sat
,isfactorily. With their help she
can go off duty at the end of the
day with a feeling that her pa.
tients are cared for and not suf.
fering from neglect which to the
conscientious nurse is the great.
est cause for discomfort.

very enjoyable time in spite of

refuge under the pavilion after

On Saturday place this years at
tendance for the 80 days at 383,12I
"a decrease of 1922 from last
years all-time turnout of 418,413
fans.
From the sporting viewpoint,
Bryan Field, Vice-president and
general manager of the track, de-
scribed the season just ended as
having reached "a new peak of ex-
cellence." He pointed out that the
147 meeting - tenth since the
tracks establishment - brought to
Delaware such outstanding horses
as Stymie, POlynesian, Star Bout
and others.
However, Mr.. Field admitted that
"the picture is not so rosy" from a
business viewpoint. He described
the recession in business as merely
a sign of the time"
From coast to coast the loose
spending of the war years is OBJ
viously at an end, as was expected" ,"
he said.
Atlantic City Completes
Contributing factors in the de-
! creased business, he said, included
the invasion" of the Philadelphia
market by another track. Although
he did not mention it by name, he
i was obviously referring to Atlantic
City, whose meeting was in compe-
tition with Delaware Park earlier
in the season. Rainy weather was
another obstacle, he said, while the
expansion of steeplechasing, q

public, also helped pull the handle

VIRGINIA S. TOWNSEND

DR.. M. Dalema Draper and
her grandson, Bill Wood, left
yesterday on a trip to Mexico
City. They go to San Antonio,
Texas, to join the party on a
conducted tour and then they

Draper took similar trip a
few years ago, and like then,
her central point will be Mex

DR.. Draper looks on this trip
as a rest, and a chance to have
Bill see something of the way
ither folks live. Bill, probably,
looks on it as a wonderful
way to learn much and to be
able to tell the other boys
