Housewife Relief Service
Works Wonders in Norway
By Dr.. Mortho M. Elliot
Chief, chiIdrsn's Bvrsuy

In this country it's almost
unthinkable for a town not to
have q fire department to go
to the rescue Of a family that
might need 1t. In Norway 1t
has become almost as uI1-
thinkable not TO have house,
wife relief service to go to the
rescue Of a family when the
mother becomes too sick to
manage her family and home.
Yet the service isn't very
old. II was born soon after
Norway's liberation from Ger
many, at the urgent request
Of several women's organiza-
tions who were concerned
about the lot of families
caught in the emergency OF a
mothers illness at a time
when there was both q
scarcity Of hospital beds and
Of people to do housework.
The housewife relief service
Is now an integral part Of the
child welfare and public
health services, under the
Ministry Of Social Affairs.
And it is available for rich.
poor or middle income fami-
lies-although preference is
given to those where there is
q bad economic situation
when there are young chill
dren, and the mother Is Ill
or under strain.
BY now all the larger towns
In Norway have housewife re-
lief service although not as
much as they feel they need.
In fact. of the TAG rnunicipali-
ties in the entire country all
but $50 provide this service.
Cost OF Service
The service is free to those
who cannot pay, the cost be-
ing shared by the municipal
and national governments.
For those who pay, the cost is
not over 81 a day. The aver.
age time of stay in the house.
hold is three weeks.
The housewife reliefs are
employed. and paid. by the
municipalities and, in some
cases, by private industry.
There are about 1,400 women
working at this kind of job
now.
They are carefully selected.
They must have a physical ex-
animation, including an X-ray,
Of the lungs, for which the
city pays. And they are ex-
pected to take a five months
training course. The course
includes training in child care,

Big Jump
In State Car
Total Is Seen

An increase of 100000 regis
tered motor vehicles in Maryland,
raising the state total from its
present $4,000 vehicles to about
100000 in 1875, was forecast to-
day by an official of the nations
largest independent auto sales fl
nance company.
w. B. Benson of Washington,
vice president in this area for
Universal CIT. Credit Corpora
ton, said the increase in regis
tered vehicles would amount to
about 80 per cent. He based his
estimate on a recent report of
the Presidents Materials Com
mission, which forecast a nation
al total of 85,000,000 cars, trucks,
buses, and other vehicles by 1875.
IF Maryland is going to alb
sorb this volume of vehicles with
out increasing congestion, some
thing must be done promptly to
start undermining and expanding
the states 10000 miles of roads
and Streets" he said. 'We're al
ready experiencing losses-in
lives, personal injuries, property
damage and lost business-be-
cause of the lack of adequate ia
cilitieS to handle the increasing
flow of traffic"
Benson, urging support of
President Eisenhower's suggested
10-year so billion dollar highway
modernization program, said
there is now about one motor We
hicle for every three persons in
the country. BY 1875, he added,
the national population should
grow from its present 161, 100000
to more than 20O,OOOOOO, and
there will be one vehicle for
every "a persons.
although it will be a big job
to bring our traffic facilities up:
to-date and prepare adequately
for this increase in vehicles" he
said, "it will pay big dividends
to our economy and help to furth-
er the states growth"

According to Dr. Russell A.
Nelson, president of the Mary

the first event took place in Den
mark, where, in 1904, a Danish
postal clerk, Einar Holboell, con-
ceived the idea of a Christmas
stamp" to raise funds to con-
struct a hospital for sick and
needy children. Three years later
the first Christmas Seal Sale was
conducted in this country.
The first nationwide attack

June, 1904, with the organization
of the National tuberculosis AS

profit hospital is owned" by the
community.
Support of the community hos
pital has passed through three
periods during the last century
In the beginning they were estab
lished by church denominations
or religious orders within the
churches. Later, non-profit hospi.
tails in common with other philan.
thropic institutions benefited
from large gifts and requests
from wealthy families and indi-
viduals. After the economic col.
lapse of 1929 these large gifts
practically disappeared.
The third and present phase of
community hospitals develop
ment has. evolved over the last
three decades. Two powerful
factors in the growth of such hos
pitfalls are the amazing achieve
mentS of modern medical science
and the continued rise in Ameri-
can social standards. The advanc-
es in medical care which came
out of World War II have led to
a situation where no one doctor
is capable of performing all phas-
es of medical service. A new spir-
it of team relationship between
physician, diagnostician, surgeon,
radiologist and pathologist has
developed, which can best be serv-
ed in the modern, well equipped
community hospital.
The patient, for his part, has
become more aware of the need
for hospital care for prevention
of disease and rehabilitation as
well as for the ordinary medical
care formerly sought. He is bet
ter able to take advantage of the
benefits of disqualification through
the many plans available, such as
Blue Cross, Workmen's Compen-
saetion, private insurance plans
and social and public welfare pay
mentS.
He is better educated today to
the fact that the responsibility
for good hospital service rests
with every man and woman in
the area to be served by the hos
pital. The cost of hospital con-
struction and the multiplicity of
skills and equipment modern
medical care demands makes the
problem of supplying the best in
health protection one which can
be solved only by the intelligent
planning and forward looking
generosity of an entire commun-
ity.
Today church orders still estab-
fish and operate hospitals, and
men of wealth still leave stable
sums to found and maintain hos
pital and clinics. But more and
more, the community-at-large is
taking on the responsibility of
building and maintaining their
own first line of defense against
disease. All over the country,
citizens in areas both rural and
urban are banding together to
raise funds successfully for the
construction of new or expanded
hospital facilities to serve their
own urgent needs. Since 1947, the
Federal Government has played
an assisting role for many COM
munities, providing about third
of the cost of such construction
where need is indicated.

Things We're Different When Dad
Was Boy Hospitals Haze Changed

Editors Note: This is the
first i'm series of articles de-
signed to inform the public re-
garding the services of a VOlun-
tary, nOn-prOfit community hos
pital such as Suburban HOspi-
tai, for which an expansion
fund of 100000 is now being
raiSed).
Things were different wher
Father was a boy. Babies were
born at home. Miracle drugs anC
antibiotics were unknown. Surg
cons performed operations ir
their Prince Alberts under some
thing less than aseptic conditions
Hospitals were classified as pub
lie or private.
Public hospitals were city OF
state institutions built and OPP
Grated with tax money, providing
free hospital care to those who
were sick and in need, as the
almshouSe of that day gave free
food and, shelter to the homeless.
Private hospitals, at the turn of
the century, were being built
under the auspices of church and
religious orders, or with funds be-
queathed or contributed by phi
lanthropic individuals. They ac-
cepted patients able to pay for
the care they received, giving
charity care to those unable to
pay.
In either case, in the horse and
buggy days hospitals were gen
orally thought of as pest houses"
and people went to them to die
more often than to live.
A lot has happened since Fa-
Their was boy and the hospital
picture has changed in more ways
than one.
Hospitals today fall into three
general categories. Tax supported
hospitals such as those of the Vet
Grams Administration or county
infirmaries continue to provide
free hospital care for those in
need, while others such as mu-
nicipal hospitals, built with and
supported by tax funds, charge
patients able to pay for their
care and grant free care only to
spublic charges.
The proprietary hospital, in
dividually owned or operated by
a small private corporation,
serves a majority of patients who
pay in full for their care but also
accept welfare patients at rates
established by the city or county
boards.
The backbone of the hospital
system of the United States to-
day, however, is the voluntary,
non-profib or community hospi-
tai. Out of the 5066 general hos
pitfalls in the country today, more
than half 1922 are of this type.
There would be no nationwide
hospital system without the COM
munity hospitals, as these care
for more than sixty percent of
the millions hospitalized each
year in the United States.
The essence of the community
hospital appears in the will of the
late Gardner Burbank of Fitch
burg, Mass, who left the residue
of his estate to found and main
tain a hospital "where all who
could should pay but where those
who are in poverty and sickness
shall be received and cared for
kindly and tenderly, without
money and without price and
without regard to color or ma
tlonallty.'
Such a hospital established
with private as opposed to tax
funds, is operated not primarily
for profit but for the welfare of
the community it serves. It's man.
agement rests in a lay board of
directors who are responsible to
a membership corporation of in
terested citizens and it may truly
be said that the voluntary. non.

My, Pm glad the winters over
And that Pesach is so near,

Is the best time of the year.
l can stay up long that evening;
All the silver's polished bright;

And my brother and big sister,
Who's moved to some other

All are gathered round the table
When my papa says the grace.
Then l ask him why that evening
Isn't like another night;
And my mama smiles at grandma
Cause l read the Hebrew right.
Afterwards find the matzoh-

Cause l know that papa hid it
In the cushions of his chair.
Bout that time I'm kinda sleepy
But l just hold up my head;
How could they say the Chad

If l had to go to bed?
When I wake up it is morning
And the sun is shining bright;
And l wish that it was next year,
And another Seder night!
