HOSPITAL NOTES

Some one has said "the only
proper function of public relations
is to light up the truth" What the
general public" believes about
any institution will eventually
make or break that institution.
Nearly every patient treated at
this hospital has a number of rel
atives and a larger number of
friends who are one and all inter-
ested in his or her condition. At
ter the patients recovery and re-
turn to normal living what he or
she has to say about the care and
treatment they received at Mil
ford Memorial whether good or
bad is received with open ears by
the family circle and their most
intimate friends. / have yet to talk
to any patient who wanted to stay
in the hospital after their doctor
has said you may go home today"
The home may not be perfect but
still it is home and most of us
would rather be there among our
loved ones than to be in a hospital
bed in the best hospital in the
land.
While the patient is in the hos
pital sick or injured he is not too
happy about it all. Food does not
taste good, doctors, nurses, and
attendants sometimes seem unat-
tentiVe and when he is discharged
pays his bill, it always seems lar
ger than it should. 1t surely is sur
Eprising after all that anyone has
a good word to say for any hos
pital; but every hour of every day
he was in the hospital doctors and
nurses were in attendance, were
watching his condition closely and
doing the things necessary to make
him as comfortable as possible
Proper food served in his room OF
at his bed three times daily. Ice
water, fruit juices or milk were
his at the touch of a bell and al
his request. If unable to feed him
self a nurse or aide feeds him.
Nevertheless a thOughtless wore
or act on the part of any of tn,
attendants in the employ of tn,
hospital will do a great deal o
harm to the reputation of the hos
pital and it is these thoughtlesi
, words and deeds that we mus
tguard against daily. Perfection i
gnOt possible in any institution bu
the desire and will to strive 70
that goal should be in the mint
and heart of all employees from
; top to bottom of every hospital
= large or small.

became president, after being
instrumental in the organiza-
ton. and now her daughter

beautiful and spoke much for
both of them. The reins of
the club is still in capable

THIRTY YEARS AGO
Taken from the 1918 Files Of
the Milford Chronicle

Some of the largest trout ever
seen in Milford were brought here
from Cedar and Slaughter beaches
on Monday of this week. The fish
were much larger than shad, some
of them weighing as much as 18
pounds each. On Monday evening
the fishermen at those beaches
caught over 1,400 bushels Of trout,
but even with this large catch, the
demand was greater than the sup
ply. Almost all night long Mon
day fish wagons and automobile
trucks loaded with trout passed
through Milford. The fish brought
fine prices.

Congratulations go to Mrs.
Herman Phillips who was
elected to membership on the
local Board of Education. It
Is so seldom. now, for two
qualified persons TO run for the
same office. so few want to
serve in any capacity unre-
munerated. Mr.. w. Dean Kim
mel would have made a good
member should Mrs. Phillips
not have been elected. This is
a precedent for a woman to
hold such office. and the wish
GOES that the precedent, now
established, may not be
broken

Milford High School met it's
first defeat of the season last Fri
day afternoon by getting the small
end of an ga score, with Wesleyan
Collegiate Institute. Although the
victors had been playing together
for practically four years and
were considerably older and more
experienced in the game than the
home team, they were forced to the
limit and had to exert all energy
in order to break the tie score of
ES-S which held until the eighth in-
ming, when by a series of unpar-
donable errors on the part of tht
outfielders of the home team, they
were presented with five perfectly
good runs, which put the game on
ice. Collins again pitched gilt
edged, ball and deserved to win
but was given poor support.
