But in our modern age we are
attempting to build new stan

Throughout our own Unite d

SIS Of their personal achievements.
Let us speak OF them as Mr.. and
Mrs. G.
BEAUTIFUL ROMANCE
Mr.. and Mrs G.. met about sew
en- years ago. Their acquaintance
is accredited 10 colored couple
who were personal friends of Mrs.
G..
After their meeting, Mr. and
and Mrs. G.. continued TO be seen
around the brighter spots of the
city and soon their friendship had
blossomed into a beautiful ro-
nance.
In the Spring OF l943 Mr., and
Mrs. G.. decided upon a wedding
in the late Fall of that year. So
in the early part of December of
the same year, Mr.. and Mrs G.
set sail on the sea of matrimony.
But Mr.. and Mrs. c. were not
alone on this voyage because they
were accompanied by the man
and woman. who were response
BILE for their good fortune and
tn four were joined together in
a double ceremony.
The next great step IN the lives
OF Mr.. and Mrs. G.. was the ac-
ceptance Of each into their own
respective families. Mrs. G.. deci-
ded TO have her mother come
to visit her and in this way she
could meet her new son-in-law
in his own home without being
taken into strange environment.

sincerest happiness, Mrs. G's mo-
Their accepted her new son-in-law
Fundamentally. This love was
carried until the death Of tn c
mother last year. At this time.
Mr.. G.. was at his wife's side, con-
tinuously and seemingly was
accepted by the whole family.
Mr.. G.'s problem was consider
ed next Since his home was in
the South and is one Of the most
radical sections Of the South. his

The main Sequlla is pneumonia

here that we must be very eau

necessary to give your children
most earnest attention whenever
they have any condition such as

The first CARE is TO use

Committee
Seeks More
Sick Beds

The Detroit Regional Hospital
Survey Committee announced
this week that a total OF 1881
hospital beds are sought for
the three counties of Wayne,
Oakland. and Macomb.
DR.. Bruce H. Douglas, chair
man Of the committee and city
health commissioner in a report
released by the committee said,
in locating these new accom-
modatlons. special consideration
should be given outlying areas
with a growing population and
to neighborhoodS now lacking
sufficient hospital protection.
The survey reveals that 70
per cent of all general care hos
pital beds in the tri-county
region are in downtown Detroit
and the area Immediately to
the northwest, including High
land Park and Hamtramck.
SUGGESTIONS MADE
Some OF these beds are in
need OF replacement, according
TO the findings, Provisions for
care and teaching in the special
tiles should be made at certain
favorsbly located hospitals in
Wayne and Oakland counties
for the service OF all Of metro
politan Detroit
or the additional beds. 935
would represent an overall in
crease. and l.24l would permit
immediate replacement OF beds
now housed in unsatisfactory
structures. Seven hundred and
five would serve as eventual
replacement of beds that can
be made serviceable for the
time being. through removal Of
fire hazards.
In the interest of economy and
maximum utilization. the sur
vey recommends that no general
hospital be smaller than 1000
beds and that a regional average
of 200 or more beds be estab-
lished.
