Ga|Iinger Death Rate
OF Premature Babies
Cut 10 Record 1881

Gallinger Hospital reduced its
death rate among premature babies
to 1913 per cent in 1948, officials
said today.
Among 594 premature births last
year, 500 survived. This was COM
pared with 20.6 mortality rate in
1s47, when there were 57s prema-
ture births. Until recent years, the
death rate had been over 80 per
cent.
Doctors emphasized that the rate
is not abnormally low, compared
with other large hospitals. But it
does show a striking reduction at
Gallinger during the last decade.
officials attributed this mainly to
improved facilities and more per-
sonnet.
More Nurses Needed.
One doctor, however, said he did
not see how it will be possible for
us to keep our low rate, unless we
get more nurses for our obstetrical
service"
Nation wide standards specify
that there should be no less than
one nurse on duty at all times in
premature nurseries for every SIX
babies. Gallinger has one for every
10 or IL babies, he said.
Despite the steady drop, further
improvements in the service have
been hampered by steadily in
creasing number of births. In
1899, for example, there were 1.S47
births, including 176 prematures, at
Gallinger. Last year, the number
of all births totaled AIS
55.7 Per Cent in 1889.
OF the 176 premature births in
1899, SO died, for a mortality rate
of 557 per cent. The rate de-
creased slowly until 1914, when the
Wartime shortage of nurses seri-
olsly affected standards of care
and the rate rose to 42.5 per cent.
With additional facilities and per-
sonnel two years ago, the rate was
down to 25.2 per cent.
Babies at the hospital are con-
sidered premature if they weigh
less than 5l1 pounds. OF the 594
premature births, $50 weighed be-
tween Az and 51z pounds. Thirty
five Of the infants weighed less than
% pounds and only two of these
IS survived.

champion" and "Home of the
Brave" two smash hits on TINS
years movie market. That's all the
answer Hollywood needs. Stanley
produced them on modest budgets,
by Hollywood's wastrel standards,
and thereby demonstrated that
plenty of money remained in movie
FANS pockets. All it took to trans
fer that money to his own pocekts
was the simple leverage of an idea.
BOTH "CHAMPION" and
"Home of the Brave" were MADE
for under $500,000, rare achieve
ment in a town where first-rate
picture usually price-tags at 81
100000 and up. Even more rare'
both became solid box-office hts
outgrossing the star-studded COM
petitors of the towns biggest
studios.
Now young Stanley has Holly
wood at his feet. And he's re-
garded a better risk than a box
office combination of two top stars
with the Isle of Stromboli thrown
in.
From the time of its first re-
lease, "Home of the Brave" not
only proved hit but passed up
"Champion." Two in row! That
hit Hollywood at time when the
cinema city was singing the blues
about the lost foreign market, the
drop in domestic crosses, the miss
ing movie fans, the end of the star
system.

He pointed out that at present

can be housed in permanent dorm

permanent dormitories-incIuding
the projected one-would accom-
modate only as many women stu
