Milford Memorial
Hospital News

Alter many months of delay the
new clinical and pathological lab
oratOry on fourth floor of the Mil
ford Memorial Hospital becomes
an accomplished fact. AS a clinical
and pathological laboratory it is
probably the best equipped on the
peninsula south of Wilmington. DR.
). B. H. KOnZelmann and Miss Marie
FAIRIES as Technician have at their
disposal the most modern eouin-
ment that can be had for an institu-
ton such as this. They are at the
service of the general public of the
whole peninsula for practically any
OF the clinical or laboratory tests
any one doctor can desire in the
treatment of the ills of the human
frame.
Any Of our physicians who are
not acquainted with Milford Mem
orial will be welcomed if they wish
to visit the laboratory and see what
is possible for them to have done in
this new addition to Milford Mem
Orial Hospital.

deaths was 73 in 1916 as compared
to 81 in 1947. A decrease of u in
1947.
Of the three counties, New Castle
County was the only one to show
decrease, its reduction being 20
lives saved in 1947. The toll for New
Castle County stood at % in 1947 as
compared to 4S in 1916. Kent Coun-
ty figures indicated an increase of 2

1947 as compared to Is in 1916. Sus-
sex County also showed an increase
in 1947, there being "A deaths in
1947 as compared to II in 1946-an
increase of Z.
Courtesy on the highway would
help to further reduce these acci-
dents in 1948. Much has been SAID
about courtesy, but no one can ever
say too much.
The average person feels kindly
toward his fellow men He has not
always been trained to express him
self cOurteOUsly, but it soon be-
comes apparent to anyone that
courtesy makes friends and keeps
them.
In the early days of the automo-
bile, driving was considered a
sport. Later it became more of a
general pleasure. Now it is a neces-
sity. Driving etiquette was a rule of
good manners in driving and in
cluded such aXiOms as:
Do not oYertake another car on
the right.
Always give way for another car
to pass.
Keep to your own side Of the road
aways.
This etiquette of the road implied
spirit of good will and heIpfui-
ness for the other fellow. If that
same spirit were more alive today.
thounsand of lives would be saved
each year.
Let's resolve in the New Year to
keep alive in 49,"

front Of a fire place in the reception
room of the home of Dr.. Frank l..

arm and extinguished the fire with
the chemical engine, ithout turning
on the hose from the water mains.
When the house was built the con-
tractor had the joist extend up to

the fire place, and when the masons
did their work they simply covered
the wooden jOist over with cement
and then laid the tiling on TOP of
that. The result was a fire when

the fireplace. It has since been torn
