Many years ago the scribe had
a 5-year lease on Queen Anne
Hall. Some of the Swedish lodges
moved in and met there, and after
the meetings they sometimes
danced a few dances. Someone saw
fit 2 build an apartment h gu e
only 6 feet apart from the hall.
The people in the apartment house
decided 2 close the hall and met
up en- -masse at the City Council
chamber, when the hearing 4 the
halls dance license was to be
acted upon. l of the tenants

that is not her name) added her

that they stamped their feet,

and concluded with this remark:
"Y don't those people go to
Ballard, where they belong?"
She then applied a very self
satisfied grin to her mug. looked
something like a contented cow,
and patted herself on her back 4
the i'm portant part she had
played.
I don't know much about Mrs.
Sundstrom except that she lived
in nice apartment next door and
that Mr.. Sundstrom had a small
store on list Ave. But Mrs. Sund
strom must have had very high
opinion about herself and h e i r
social standing and probably
didn't minsle with scrubs, like U
and me.
But =. what's the matter with
Ballard? Amt the people in Bal
lard & their district just as good
as any? She could have made
enemies with the Norwegians, too,
as they outnumber Swedes in Bal
lard over 2 to l. (By the way, the
scribe got his dance license re-
newed).

long cherished and even taking up

some dough in The Union Record

$500 h ares in Scandal Coop

VA Sees Possibility
OF Building Hospitals,
Halls Site Disposal

The Veterans Administration
has stopped its plan to dispose of
10 sites for proposed hospitals. The
step was taken on the possibility
the next Congress might authorize
funds for construction.
The Veterans Administration
said it planned the disposal be-
cause Congress permitted the au-
thorization of funds to expire.
However, the authorizations still
stand for the proposed Washing
ton hospital on the Soldiers Home
grounds site, 5OO-bed hospital at
Cleveland and 1,000-bed neuro-
p~vchiatric hospital at San Fran
cisco. Funds have not been ap-
propriated for the Washington
structure which is to replace the
Mount Alto Hospital on Wisconsin
avenue
Hospital Study Urged.
A study of the whole VA hospital
program has been urged by Sena-
tor Ferguson, Republican, of
Michigan. The Veterans Admin
istration has taken the stand that
a 131,000-bed hospital program
should be tried before any expan-
sion is proposed. Veterans organi-
cations are not united on this
proposition. The Veterans of For
eign Wars contends this is not suf-
ficient. However. the American
Legion reported it had decided to
back the VA program.
The total authorized bed capac-
tty in veterans hospitals as Of
last October 81 was 120,266. Only
108,770 of these were in actual
operation. On the same date there
were 96,828 patients with wait
ing list of 27,216. The law re-
quires every veteran with serv-
ice-connected disability to be hos
pitalized when he needs it. On
the other hand, the law author

In addition to allowing hospital
construction authorizations to
