HOSPITAL NOTES

Milford Memorial Hospital dis
charged a patient Monday who
came in two weeks before and was
operated upon on Tuesday, April
20, for stomach ulcers. Due to
modern facilities, surgery and hos.
pital care and attention he walked
out almost as strong physically as
he was when admitted.
Just few years ago such a case
would have required several weeks
of disqualification and several more
weeks of rest and inactivity to re-
gain near normal physical con-
dition.
There are to be sure some dag
nostic facilities as we'll as new
equipment for special treatments
that our present floor space will
not permit of their installation,
but Milford Memorial Is far in adj
vance of many hospitals as large
or larger in its use of modern dag
nOstic and treatment facilities.
We wish to thank the ladies of
Harrington for their prompt and
close attention to the reception
hostess desk during the month OF
April. Public relations are mate
rally bettered by hostesses who
volunteer their help to the hOspi-
tai in this very necessary work,

REBEKAH NOTES

A very large crowd of Rebekahs
gathered in Odd Fellows Temple,
North Walnut street. last Thursday
evening, when Mrs. Elsie Mitchell,
President of the Rebekah Assem-
bly, of Delaware, and her staff of
officers visited the local lodge to
install the officers-elect of Marga-'
ret G. Pyle Rebekah Lodge No. II.
Visitors were present from all
Rebekah Lodges of Delaware, COM
ing from the most southern one of
FrankfoFd, and from the most nor
thern one at Arden.
Seven past presidents of the Re-
bekah Assembly of Delaware were
present, namely: Mrs. Ida Coul-
bourne of Holloway Terrace; Mrs.
Olivia Megginson and Mrs. Rattle
Jester of Georgetown; Mrs. Julia
Hover, Mrs. Margaret Sharpless,
Mrs. Martha Donovan of Whining
ton, and Mrs. Nettie Jester of Mil
! ford.
Past grand officers of the Grand
Lodge of Delaware l. o. o. F. pres
ent were: Clarence Jester and Par
is Kirby, past grand masters;
George Swain, P. G. r., and George
T. Rodney, P. G. P.
This was the largest assembly of
Rebekahs since pre-war time.
Mrs. Mamie Haggett, the retir-
ing noble grand, presided and well
coined the guests.
This has been a very successful
term for the lodge under the cap
able leadership of Mrs. Haggett
and she leaves the chair with the
good wishes of all the members
She received many very pretty and
useful gifts from the members Oi
the lodge, all attesting to the love
and respect which they hold fol-
her.
The installation of officers was
somewhat unusual, since the in
coming noble grand, Mrs. Eliza
beth Stevenson, had served hel
lower offices in 1912 and 1943, wheI
she was vice grand, making it i'm
possible for her to accept the Office
of noble grand at that time, but duI
to her courageous spirit and tn,
fact she had expressed her grea
desire to serve the lodge as it
noble grand, each member and Oft1
Ger could but admire her for he
loyalty and devotion she has show
to the lodge during the intervenin
years, and each one was desiriou
of helping her attain her goal.
Mrs. Stevenson is a charter mem
, ber of the lodge and at the close c
the installation, Mrs. Florenc
Meredith, another charter membel
presented to Mrs. Stevenson, o
Q behalf of the remaining twenty az
D tive charter members present
9 beautiful house garden of flower
which was deeply appreciated b
4 the recipient. Every one preser
y wished for Mrs. Stevenson goo
t health and success during he
: term of Office.
: At the close of the meeting, a
d enjoyed a social hour and delicioU
: refreshments in the auditorium, ;
: which time greetings were extenC
It ed by representatives of the diffe
: ent lodges.

Rat:ngs Open
In Antiaircraft
Army Units

Due to a shortage of trained
personnel in Army Antiaircraft
Artillery units, former members
of the Army, Navy, Marine
Corps or Coast Guard, who held
occupational skills in that or an
allied field and were honorably
discharged after May II, l945,
may be enlisted in grades up to
and including technical sergeant,
according to a statement issued
today by Lieut. Charles j. Mar
Gus, commanding officer of the
Wilmington Army and Air Force
Recruiting station. The lieuten-
ant stated that no man will be
accepted for a grade higher then
that which he held when he was
separated from the service, how
ever.
This shortage of skilled per-
sonnet has been caused by the
expansion of the Army and the
increase in number of antiaircraft
artillery units.
