|Census Records Capital sSwgetoS Suburbs

The surge to the SUBURBS OF the
Nations Capital is underlined by
the latest Census Bureau figures
for the Washington metropolitan
area, showing that the surround
ing region has far outstripped the
city in rate of population gain.
The Census Bureau estimated
the population of the area at
IL 100000 on July /, 1948. This
was a gain of As per cent over
the 967,985 population of April l.
1910. These totals included the
armed forces stationed in the
area.
The District gained only 80 per
cent, or from 663.091 to $4,000.
The remainder of the area, on the
other hand, showed an increase
from 304,894 in 1910 to an esti-
mated $4,000 in 1948, a 1853 per
cent gain.
With the latest population eSti-
mates the Census Bureau put into
effect a new and more realistic
designation of the metropolitan
area. Formerly it included, besides
Washington. Arlington County
and Alexandria, Va, parts OF
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties, Md, and part Of Fair
fax County, Va.
The newly designated metro
politan area includes all Of Mont
gomery, Prince Georges and Fair
fax Counties in addition to the
other units.
1t was explained at the Census
Bureau that the metropolitan
area concept has grown to be
extremely important in market
ing. Businesses seeking markets
in the most productive concen-
trations of population want a,
measure of urban and rural
populations.
It was explained that inclusion
of the entire populations of the
three counties recognizes the fact
that they are actually part of the
urban area. The Census Bureau
is making the same revisions in
connection with other metropoE-
tan areas.
To Give Both Figures in so.
With the announcement of the
Census figures Of 1850 the bureau
expects to give the figures also for
the older and smaller metropoli-
tan area as we'll as for the new
area. This will be for purpose
of comparison, but thereafter it
is expected that the older area
figures will be dropped.
The bureau also is developing
another new tabulation in re-
sponse to business needs. This is
a tabulation of "urbanized areas"
taking in the continuous zones
around cities where the popula-
ton density is 1000 or more per
square mile.
Another change is in the CLASH
flcation of areas as urban or rural.
Heretofore only incorporated COM
munities of $500 or more were
classified as urban. In the future
any community Of $500 will be

Little Progress Noted
As Talks Recess in
Goodrich Strike
By The Associated Press

AKRON, Ohio, Aug. PA CIO
United Rubber Workers strik'
halted production today in the biz
B. F. Goodrich Co. which employs
nearly $4,000 workers. Any hope
for quick settlement faded wher
negotiations - still deadlocked -
recessed until Monday.
There has been little progress
but nothing on major issues" H
F.. Lloyd, international president
of the union, said in announcing
at noon that negotiations, II
progress in Dayton since August

Monday.
The major issues, are union de.
mands for ascent hourly pay
raises and 500 monthly company
financed pensions.

and in six other cities in as many
States showed the strike was 10(
per cent effective. It started with

hour the unions old contract with
the company expired.
Seven Plants Affected.
Production workers are off Sun

meant the shifts scheduled to re-
port at midnight Sunday and

fective that only a handful OF
executives entered the plant. The
Saturday skeleton force of 200

=. "Among Highest Paid"
Goodrich sent a letter to en-
ployes maintaining that the strike
would give our business to other
rubber companies" that prices
could not be raised under present
business conditions, and that its
workers were among the highest
paid in the United States"
The average hourly pay of the
Goodrich production worker Is
$1.65, compared to $1.525 in the
rubber industry.
There was no immediate COM

the other members of the rubber

After much discussion and con.
sideration, Mcdowell county has
come to the point where a new hos,
pital is a definite plan rather than
a dream for the future, and it has
come not a day too soon. A build
ing originally planned to serve
twenty-five patients has been
stretched and strained to care for
from thirty to fifty. Imagine your
self, if you will, having to accomo-
date your family of six in four
room house. Imagine your kitchen
at mealtime; the one bathroom
would constantly be cluttered; you
would have to rearrange that house
to suit your family and would not
be able to use it as the architect
meant to be, because he did not
build it for six peeole. Essentially
the same situation exists at the Ma
rion General Hospital. Our hospital
was not arranged to care for the
number of patients or types of i'll
ness we are required to care for
today.
Segregation of diseases and i'll
nesses is essential in efficient care
of the sick patient. Medical pa
tients should be in section of the
hospital apart from surgical, with
other wings or areas for obstet-
RIGS, nursery, and for pediatrics
Children should be apart from
adults. A sick child cannot be quiei
at all times, that is Understandable
and when he is neighbor to a very
i'll person, how annoying they are
to each other! In our present stu
alton we cannot separate medica
from surgical though we do have
the obstetrical department apart
from the rest. The newborn babie:

nurses and doctors can run up anc

our mileage on same is not neglig

other myriad purposes is neither
feasible nor possible.
! Our sunporches have been con.
verted to five bed wards in which
it is not possible to get even 8

and tables. Giving a patient a bath
and making his bed in these wards
requires considerable agility on the
part of the nurse. Private rooms
