Senior Citizens
Weekly News

Twenty-Five persons attended the
Senior Citizen meeting Monday
May IS, at the Century Club. The
participation of members who
bring family keepsakes makes
these meetings an especially rich
experience for relative newcomers
to Delaware. One member born in
1875 brought a book of poems
written by his mother from 1862.
When the Delaware Archives
comes into possession of this book
these poems will no doubt be
printed and all can read Carrie
Wilson's Keep the Heart Beauti-
ful", "Unheard Music, Speak
kindly, Sweet Memories, etc. as
a part of Delaware's cultural his
tory.
One conversation group was
fascinated by the account given of
the Houston and Wilson families,
great grandparents of so many
contemporary citizens.
Mrs. william Watson played for
group singing, a variety of games
were enjoyed and refreshments
served. The committee was Mrs. j.
s. Willis, Mrs. Imly Abbott, Mrs.
Willard Dufendach and Mrs. JOS
eph Pearce.
Regular meetings will resume
October 5, but here will be sum-
mer picnic at ]. s. Willis Jr's.
cottage at Slaughter Beach. De-
tails for this will be announced
later.
The informality and pleasant
comradship of these meetings are
making them even more popular
and specially gratifying to Mrs. J..
s. Willis who organized this group
as a Century Club Community pro-
ject.

Small hospitals offer services
that were unknown in even the
great medical centers a few yester-
days ago. The great medical CEN
ters today are developing the rou-
tine hospital services of tomorrow.
Each service the hospital pro-
vides for the community costs
money" Mr.. Lorenz said. Just buy
ing a new piece of equipment is
not the whole story. A life-saving
addition may mean hiring new
personnel and establishing new
procedures and records.
"The services Milford Memorial
Hospital offers include Surgery.
Deliveries, Laboratory, X-Ray,
X-Rays Therapy, Physical Therapy,
Electracardiology, and Blood Bank
ing. The hospital is accredited by
the Joint Commission on Accredi-
tation of Hospitals and has an ap-
proved Nurses Training School"
sOur most recent addition was
the Physical Therapy. The COM
munity needed this service. We
hope the next addition will be
Radioactive Isotope service-again,
because the community needs it,"
Hospitals have not been able to
make dramatic use of labor-saving
equipment so common in other
areas. Modern medicine required
the talents of more and more in
dividuals. The Administrator said
approximately So per cent of the
hospitals costs today are for
wages and salaries. But the need
for pesonnel never ends, and he
hoped more and more young people
would come to realize the satis-
faction in a hospital career.
people are using hospitals
more today because hospitals
have become places of new hope
and healing. Milford Memorial Hos
pital is investing more for your
health than ever before" said the
administrator.

Milford Memorial
Hospital

Every day Milford Memorial Hos
pital spends an average of $4,000
for the care of each patient.
The medical and scientific mira
cles of recent years have had an
enormous impact on hospital costs,
according to G. r. Lorenz, admin
istrator of the hospital.
Hospital costs are going up all
over the country, not only because
of initiation, which affects all of US,
but also because new treatment
methods call for expensive new
drugs, complex equipment, and
more highly-trained personnel.
Last year 5,OS6 persons were ad-
mitted to Milford Memorial Hospi-
tai. This is 1,426 more than ten
years ago. There were 1854 lab
oratory tests performed in 1858
compared to 13,503 in 1948 and
7,558 x-rays were taken compared
to 6,676 in 1948.
The patient returns home and
gets back to his job sooner as a
result of modern care. But since
he receives more services than
ever before in a shorter time, this
means hospital costs are concen-
trated rather than spread out over
longer period.
The hospital provides more
skilled hands and more costly
tools in constant readiness to serve
"a hours a day, seven days a week,
all year around, to the increasing
number of people that come for
help.
According to the administrator,
Milford Memorial Hospital" treat
ed 4,673 emergency cases and per-
formed 1890 operations last year.
The unpredictable stork brought us
900 babies.
