bury junior college mixed choir
belongs to the old theatrical
school which contends that come
what may. the ''show must go
on. The choir was about to leave
on a one-day four-town concert
tour when the director became too
i'll to make the trip.
Jim Chatelain, a singer in the
bass section, had done some di-
recting of other groups SO he
stepped in as pinch hitter. All
went well at the first concert. But
a few minutes before the second
concert was to start at another
town, someone discovered the
directors music had been left at
the last stop. So the vocalists sang
under the direction of a novice
director who had no music to fol-
low.
Dean D. S. Overturf, mean
while, drove back to the first
stop to pick up the missing port
folio. Car trouble developed and
he couldn't make it back. The
choir was undaunted. 1t sang the
remaining two concerts as sched-
uled, with a MUSCLES, pinch
hitting director.

TREATMENT GOES HOME

New ~York-AP-Hope for the
hopeless and a measure of happi-
ness for the final months of life
has been provided by a new hos
pital home care program for can
Ger patients. Success of the pro-
gram, which has been tried out in
New York by Montefiore Hospit-
al for a year, is described by DR..
Martin Cherkasky, supervisor,
who predicts it will provide a
model for other communities all
over the country.
After patients have derived all
possible benefit from hospital
care, says DR.. Cherkasky, it has
been found that home environ
ment often gives new hope and
comfort to both patient and fam
lily. He explains:
The service provides all the
services of the hospital, in the
home. This includes medical
and nursing care. services Of
specialists, housekeeping serv-
ice, medication, hospital equip
ment and physical therapy.
Often it is more important to
keep the spirit alive than it is
to provide routine treatment in
the hospital. Our experiment
has proved the truth of the song
BE it ever SO humble, there's
no place like home.'p
