there is good reason for confidence that
the nations taking part in the Buenos
Aires conference will reach agreements
effective enough to bring about new eco

In that respect, they are likely to set

good and hard. The associa-
ton has already held four
meetings to protest against
the public pump removal. /.
Mr.. tR. S. Tharin got 9
good hand when he declared:
The reason you poor NOR
tails have no pure water is
because you have no say In

merely q memory. The iron
beams which supported the
old structure were removed
last Saturday night, leaving
only the piers stan ding.
These will also be removed.
With the disappearance of
this structure goes the last
remnant of the old Ions

Springfield Hospital To Get Tv
For Patients; Also Chapel Circuit

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO-Patients
In Springfield City Hospital will
not miss their Sunday morning
church services much longer. From
their rooms, they will be able to
watch devotions- emanating from
the chapel on the first floor.
1t is all a part of the "tele-
vision" age. The installation invol-
yes a close circuit TV setup The
service will be without cost to City
Hospital.
A patient need only rent tele-
vision set for day. He can watch
his or her favorite program, and
on a yet undetermined channel
will be able to tune in the hospit-
ais own program-such as the
nondenominational services from
the chapel on Sunday morning by
local minister
Anthony S. Dickens, hospital ex-
ecutive director, reported the inno-
vation to the board of trustees.
Here is how Dickens explained
IL.
A Philadelphia concern has re-
ceived permission to install T'y sets
In the hospital. Patients who de-
sire use of the sets may rent them
for ST each day. The hospital re-
ceives 25 cents.
While negotiations and installa-
ton were taking place, Dickens
said he inquired about the possi-
bility of CLOSED circuit TV" and
the Philadelphia firm agreed to in
stall it as part of the package deal
A camera is expected to be in
stalled in the chapel in the near
future and the closed circuit sys-
tenn is expected to be ready by
November Is, Dickens said. But
programs from the hospital to pa
tients is only one phase of the ov-
erall benefits which could be de-
rived from the closed circuit.
Dickens said the camera could
be moved into the hospitals surg
cry section, to the school of nurs-
ing where studenst would be able
to observe the entire procedure.
There is the case too of the
patient suffering from communi-
cable disease. Not allowed visitors,
friends could be placed in front of
the camera in the chapel where
relatives and friends could at least
wave" to the patient.
