We decided there's no use trying to outsteady a fellow with perfect ground strokes like Riggs or Frank Parker The way to beat them is to nave no rallies just serve and go to the net ;. apparently it has worked.
 While Kramer is confident of his ability to take Riggs at tennis, he's not so sure about golf. They're both practicing in what spare time they have for the coming celebrities tournament. Ordinarily l shoot about 85 but I think under pressure I'll get down to 80,' says Kramer .. But you should see Bobby drive

City Office News

Weed notices are being sent out
and owners of vacant lots are re-
quested to have high weeds and
grass moved promptly. The city
is arranging to have weeds for
which it is responsible to be mow-
cd this week.
Attention is called again, as per
earlier notices in the Chronicle,
that final notice is sent to delin-
qUent electrical accounts a month
and ten days after the bill is sent
out, and that five days is given
after the final notice to pay the
bill. On failure to pay the delin-
quent bill, service will be discOn-
tinUed, and before service is re-
stored, the delinquent bill and cur
rent bill must be paid, plus a ser
vice charge for recOnnecting the
service.
1t is hoped that all electrical
bills will be paid in the six week
period after receipt of the bill to
avoid inconveniencing any custom
er.
1t should be borne in mind that
the city Office and city employees
are the agents of all the people in
Milford, to run the city's affairs on
a business basis, and to follow the
instructions expressed by our char
ter, by ordinances and resolutions
of council.
1t might be interesting to know
how all monies collected by the
city are handled. About a year and
half ago, an accounting system was
set up as recommended by the ac-
counting firm Of Mack and Com
pany. Every cent collected every
day is accounted for by cross
checks with receipts and stubs of
the tax, electric and water bills.
The money must agree with the
tapes run on the receipts issued,
and all money collected is credited
to the appropriate account.
At the same time every expendi-
ture made for purchase of mater
ials or payroll is charged against
| the appropriate account, and pay
ment is made on the certifcatiOn
/ as to correctness by the city man
ager, then approved by the bill ap-
proving committee of COUncilmen,
and finally approved by the trea-
surer and mayor.
The city is run on a budget sys-
TEN, with a budget entry for every
item of expense to be met for a
fiscal year. All costs involved for
material and labor are charged
against the proper item in the bud
get, and monthly reports made to
council on the exact standing of all
items.
Periodically the auditing firm of
Mack and Company make checks
on our accounting system to see
that all accounts are being prop
erly handled, and report direct to
council.

These days when one is like
ly to pick up a phone in re-
spOnse to a call and find them
selves richer by prizes award
ed for a question answered
correctly, can be real and
thrilling, and Mrs. George G.
Russell can verify all of it.
1t was Monday afternoon when
she had a call from Los Ange-
les, Calf, and when she ans
wered that Andrew Jackson
had been called "Old Hickory
they told her she would be
getting a gas range and an all
expenses-paid trip. And to
make it authentic Mrs. Russell
had an air-mail letter We'd
nesday morning from tn e
sponsors of the radio program
Queen for a Day." further
telling her about her good for
tune. The only disappointing
thing about it all was that
Mrs. Russell thought she was
getting a call from her son
who has been in Paris, France,
for the past several months.
Friends of the RUssells are
enjoying their "luck" with
them.

HOSPITAL NOTES

Continuous operation of this hos
pital is dependent on most of the
factors that are necessary in anv
business. First and foremost of
course are the proper facilities
with which to carry on. A building
built for the purpose with the kit
chens, storage rooms, operating
and delivery rooms, X-ray depart
ment, clinical and pathological lab
oratories, fully equipped laundry,
beds, stretchers, food carts, linen
rooms including stocks of sheets.
pillow cases and blankets, wheel
chairs, floor cleaning and waxing
machines, a drug department in
cluding medical and surgical sup
plies tOtaling nearly a thousand
different item; a cOmmissary or
food department, refrigerating
equipment, and an accounting de-
partment. a record room with IA
cilities for recording every pa
TENTS medical record. Then we
must have dietitians, cooks, wait
reSses, dish washers, Orderlies.
maids, bOOkkeepers, nurses aides.
supervising nurses, general duty
and operating room nurses, resi-
dent physicians, and a laboratory
director and assistants, a radiOlO-
gist and assistants, and a staff of
physicians who are the ones re-
spOnsible for the treatment Of pa
tients.
Every day brings a new problem,
every patient is a different person.
ality so nurses and doctors must
be students of psychology as we'll
as being proficient in the practice
of their chosen profession.
1t is very apparent therefore
that a modern hospital is a more
involved business than the aver
age manufacturing or commercial
business. 1t is also apparent that
hospital must collect it's bills if
service is to be properly main
tanned.
