been long road.
I've been waiting a long time for
this" he said after yesterdays
game at Georgetown University
field. II have been at Anacostia for
six years, and this is the first time a
team Of mine has gained playoff
OF any kind. That includes four

Hurting Is Best, Coach Says.
"I stuck my neck out at the be-
ginning of the season. said I'd be
disappointed if this team of mine
didn't make it. But I have good
solid club and it hustled. think I
have the best pitching staff in the
league and the two top pitchers in
George Sengstack and Leo Kersch-
baum But I'm not making any pre-
dictions about the playoff. It's 60
ing to be rough"
Nolan admits his hitting depart
ment could stand some improve
ment.
M "It's been getting better" he said,
optimistically. Some of the boys
like George Reeden and Ralph
Fraser have been having tough luck.
Reeden has been swatting the ball
lately. I think Fraser has been
pressing too much"
The Indians had Lady Luck on
their side yesterday. Don Snider
limited them to four hits, but two
walks, single by Reeden and an
error by Center-fielder Dick (Mole)

William A. Parr revealed today.
In preliminary test flight, on

had spotted six separate brush burn
ing operations between Martins
Mountain and Big Savage Mountain.
Parr said that private planes will
be used, and arrangements will be
made locally for this service. He
stated that use of planes would make
it possible to make quick check of
fires which are under control. but
still need patrolling until completely
out. Their use will supplement the
work of patrolmen on the ground,
and enable them to be used more eff
fectively. Also, on days when weather
conditions are serious, it will be pos
sible to make a check after 400 D.
m. to make sure that brush burning
fires are not getting away.

ak of Action
For Sidewalk On
Oak Street Bridge

Some possibility of obtaining u
foot bridge on the 3. and Q. over
head bridge on Oak street, was seen
as the result of a letter recently to
State Roads officials, by Senator l..
NJ Fraley.
Mr. Fralcy met with G. Bates
Charles, district engineer, and Har-
old E. Rock, county engineer for the
State Roads commission, on February
4, and discussed the dangers there,
because of the lack of sidewalk, and
also talked about some signal light at
the Red House crossroads of U. S.
routes so and 219.
Mr.. Charles wrote William +.
Childs, Jr., chief engineer, on Feb
ruary g. favoring some action, and
last Friday some officials were here
to make Il check on the traffic over
the bridge. The results showed 1855
vehicles and 365 pedestrians crossed
the bridge during that day. The
bridge is narrow and pedestrians
must use the highway to travel
Mr.. Fraley said he also would make
a request for foot bridge along the
bridge over Deep Greek Lake at
Railey's. The bridge there is 600
feet long.

Cost of Hospital
Construction Is
Stressed In Talk
Superintendent of Memorial
Hospital Also Cites Figures
On Maintenance

The tremendous cost of hospital
construction today and some facts on
the cost of maintenance, once a hos
pital is in operation, were some of
the points discussed by DR.. Benjamin
Wright, superintendent of Memorial
hospital, Cumberlad, in a talk before
the Oakland Rotary club last Friday
evening.
DR.. Wright declared the operation
of hospitals was the 5th largest in
dustry in the world, employing over
100000 people, with five billions of
dollars in plant assets.
While he pointed out that many
communities had withdrawn their
plans for hospitals because of the
completely of cost and the continu-
ance of responsibility, he declared
that Garrett county, one of two coun-
ties in the state without a hospital,
was first on the list when funds from
the Hill-Burton act became available,
which he thought would be within
sixty days. Maryland was termed
9,400 hospital beds short of actual
needs today
He stressed the Importance of
location, the space given per hospital
bed, and the kind of patients He re-
vealed that Memorial hospital alone
admitted ass paying patients from
Garrett county last year totaling s.
600 patient days, and 81 free patients
amounting to 1000 patient days. The
latter were paid by the county.
In nationwide survey it was
learned that cost of hospital beds in
veterans hospitals in new construc-
ton were running $4,000 per bed
for labor and material of building,
and from $1,000 to $1,000 for fixed
or movable equipment.
He declared the Oakland project
would total half a million dol
lars and that it would take about a
third of that to operate the hospital
annually. This would include person.
mel which he estimated at $4,000 a
year; food, about $4,000; medical
supplies, $500; replacement of ma
terials, $4,000; laundry, $4,000.
Due to the high standards which
he said the public demanded it would
be necessary to keep abreast of the
medical profession in their advance
ment along medical lines.
At Memorial hospital he cited
figures to show the average cost per
day $9.l8, with the average charge
being $1O.26.
He felt that a project of this kind
needed great deal of deliberation
and careful consideration.
