A HOSPITAL GROWS UP WOMAN RECEIVES
Enm ett NJ cL ausbIin FCLLO"o7ir

The only operating SUBJ
sidy Memorial has ever re-
ceived was during the first
nine months of it's exist ence
Since then it has been en-
tirely on its own without help
from the city. the county. the
state or the federal govern
ment.
Throughout the years many
donations have been received
and the trustees and admin
istration Of the hospital are
very grateful for them. They
have been in the form Of
equipment. building ma
terial. and sometimes cash.
However. there have been no
real large donations such as
many hospitals across the
country do receive.
In spite Of the large amount
Of charity Memorial has done,
It's plant has been SO con-
stantly improved that it is in
far better condition now than
when it was first built. About
6 year and a half ago the for
mer nurses residence was re-
modelled into 81 patients
rooms. together with the
largest and finest emergency
facilities in the Southwest.
During the past few months
the Pediatric department or
Wing A has been remodeled
to meet all of the desires of
the doctors of the community.
Part Of Wing B has been re-
opened as a contagious dis
ease unit and with new pri-
vate bathing and sterilizing
facilities. The j wings are
being improved at the pre-
sent time with linoleum down
the corridors and every room.
with new lighting and new
ceiling suspended curtains
for the privacy of beds.
Then of course. there is the
new construction that is a.
bout to begin.
In. spite of all of the daily
details snd the troubles we
think that we can look back
on Is years of service to the
Valley of the Sun and feel
that Memorial Hospital ha S
certainly earned a place in
this growing community.

five pine cones. At the end of the
two days and half we did have
a campsite nearly free from pine
cones.
The work of preparing and clean
ing up of these meals was equally
divided. Each two girls had to cook
once and to clean up once.
The girls started work on the
Pioneer Badge. Lashing an article
for camp use is a must and Marsha
Townsend, Pam Erdman, Barbara
Hitch and Dona West completed
this phase.
Most of the girls also have about
three quarters of their Out Door
Cook Badge completed. Carol Gay
needed Conservation for Curved
Bar and asked for help on this.
There was no strict schedule of
work on badges this camping trip
as we felt we wanted a good time
free from books and writing. This
fall will find a number of the girls
doing work for the Curved Bar;
which is the highest rank in Girl
Scouting.
We were very fortunate in hav-
ing no incidents occur while in
camp. Tuesday night the wind star
ted to blow after the girls were all
in their tents. Mr. Evans started
making his rounds checking on
tents and Mrs. Hitch and Mrs.
Evans were checking for items that
were not secured. Quite a number
of articles of clothing and towels
were picked up and put in the sup
ply tent. Finally the wind died
down and most of the girls slept
through the whole thing. Next
morning was when the fun started.
Everyone asking for lost shoes,
towels, and bathing suits. The an

Wednesday afternoon found our
transportation right on the spot to

time Mr.. Theodore Townsend came
instead of his wife. Some parents
picked up their daughters at the

was taken to their. respective
homes.

Is he comfortable? Do you
change his diaper when necessary
or do you postpone it another 10 or
Is minutes, just enough to put your
little fellow in a bad mood? Do
you change him gently or does the
job annoy you, so that you make
your feelings known to the baby?
When changing baby's diaper,
make sure he is cleaned properly
before putting on another diaper.
Pat on a baby liquid, cream, in
Guiding all the little creases and
folds of his skin in your massage.
Put some liquid on your finger and
gently pat, it on any rough spots,
and if a rash appears and does not
heal up in a day or two consult
your doctor. He may suggest a
good ointment that could clean up
the disturbance over night.
Do you respect baby's right for
privacy? Babies have sensitive ears
so it is isn't fair to move baby's
crib. to room where children
roughhouse or a television set is
blaring away. He should have a
quiet place to go to sleep in the
evening If you start baby off on
the right beam, he'll likely be a
relaxed individual for the rest of
his days. +.

the best for your baby:
Is baby content with life? A baby
cries for reason, so if your young
one sheds tears too often perhaps
he is hungry. Even if you give him
a full bottle, and he drinks it all,
he could be feeling hunger pangs
if the formula isn't just right. Talk
to your pediatrician or family doc
tor. A little change in formula may
bring smile to baby's face.
Is baby. happy? A baby who can
feel your affection in the firm way
you grip. him, gently but with as
.surance, the way you support his
head, and pat his back will re-
spond with gurgles. Some mothers
are too rough with tiny tots.
How do you feed him?. If baby is
bottle fed, don't rush him through
the feeding just because you want
to make a telephone call. Cradle
the little fellow in, your arms warm
ly, and let him take his time at the
bottle. A little baby may look for
ward to these wonderful minutes in
your arms when he can feel warm
and secure. Some mothers prop
the bottle up in the crib at feeding
time. Any little fellow would rath-
er be picked up and cuddled than
to take his bottle lying down.

Monday. June 20 found fifteen
Girl Scouts from Troop 78 at the
Kiwanis Youth Center. They had
with them duffle bags packed to
capacity, for this was the long a.
waited day for their camping trip
to Sandy Landing. This trip had
been planed with their leaders Mrs.
GLAND Evans and Mrs. Parker
Hitch for over a month.
A few of the girls had slept in
tents before, but for the most of
them this was to be a new expert
ence. Mrs. Theodore Townsend,
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Kicker, Mrs.
Parker Hitch and Mr. and Mrs.
GLAND Evans provided the trans
portation needed Mr.. Kicker load
ed all the girls personal equipment
into his car. Mr.. Evans had al
ready taken all the tents, cooking
equipment, and most of the food
down on Sunday. The Scouts taking
this trip were: 10 Ann Collins,
Barabra Hitch, Marjorie Fisher,
Dona West, Pamela Erdman, Chris
ii Simpson, Sandra Ninzeheltzer,
Carolyn Kicker, Marsha Townsend,
Susan Kirby, Bonnie Hoey, Cindy
Endress, Patricia Dubois, Bonnie
Jones, and Carol Gay Carol used
to be Scout in Milford but has
moved. to Illinois. She is visiting
Bonnie Jones and we were glad to
have her with us.
AS soon as we arrived the first
task was to pitch our tents.
guess we kind of overworked Mr..
Evans with our calls for help. You
see, we had set up tents for prac-
tice but the sand made things a.
little different than we were used
to. Orders were that all things
were to be in their place before
lunch. After all this work you can
bet we were hungry. We knew no
body would want to cook a big
meal now so we had hot dogs and
baked beans. With this we had
potatoe chips and pepsi. Five meals
were cooked over charcoal fire.
The other we used camp stove.
Our menues contained the follow
ing dishes: Hamburg la Foil,
corn beef stew, ham, potato salad,
hot cakes, bacon, chocolate pud-
ding, french toast, fruit, milk, and
Some-mores.
Sue Kirby and Carolyn Kicker
had been appointed water front
directors. Sue had made check

water was supposed to turn her
