The Robbins eagle. (Robbins, Ill.) 1951-1963, 1960-04-16

During impressive induction
ceremonies, held at st. Francis
Hospital of Blue Island, on
Wednesday, April 6, thirty-three
charter volunteers pledged their
services to humanity.
The Rev. James Walsh, hos
pital chaplain, gave the Invoca-
ton and Blessing.
"A hospital is people," stated
Sister Marie Duchesne, the ad
ministrator, in her welcome ad-
dress as she proceeded to show
how the volunteer becomes a
member of a great team of
many people working together
with the doctor to save lives, to
make sick people well and keep
healthy people healthy. "Volun-

teers,' she explained, Signify
that the work is one of true
charity and loyalty for the
glory of God, the good of our
fellowman, the honor of our
hospital and the prestige of our
community" She brought out
the Importance of the volunteer
to the patient when she stated:
TT is the tender loving care of
the patient, the little things
like mailing a letter, picking
up a dropped article, a kind
word, and the tender compass
sion that stays in the memory
Of every patient"

What's New In
Household Appliances

What can homemakers expect in
new appliances this year? Are they
bigger and better or smaller and
better, and do they have more gad-
gets and colors.
Miss Patricia A. Middleton, home
management specialist with the
home economics service, University
of Delaware, reports that the gad-
gets are the thing. Most home ap-
pliances coming out this year will
have more quality fixtures that
used to be considered too expen-
sive.
For example, manufacturers ex-
pect about half of the household
refrigerators to be sold this year,
to be refrigerator-freezer combina-
tions. It may become the standard
type in most urban homes.
Among the people with home
freezers, the conventional refriger-
ator will continue, of course.
Changes have been remarkable in
the home laundry room during the
last few years, Miss Middleton said.
The wringer washer accounts for
only about 20 percent of the mar
ket nowadays. Automatic washers
with two or more wash and spin
speeds are the most popular now.
The delux types have all kinds of
controls for selection of washing
time, agitation and spin speeds, and
water temperatures. Another new
wrinkle in washers is an automatic
bleach dispenser.
There are several new dryer mod
els out now that have builtin moist
ure condensers which do not re-
quire an outside vent.
In the kitchen the electric and
gas ranges have had a lot of popu-
lar features added. Rotisseries, bar
becue attachments, warming draw
ers, double ovens, thermostatic
burners, and waist-high broilers
are items coming into widespread
use. Smaller sizes are gaining pop
ularity too
Nearly all electric ranges now
have ovens which are started and
stopped by simple clock settings.
Until recent years they were found
only on more expensive models.
In the living room the vacuum
cleaner has shifted in design from
the tank-type to the canister-type.
1t is lighter and cheaper and, with
larger motors being used in recent
models, it has just as much clean
ing power as the tank-type. Power
driven rug cleaning tools with re-
Volvlng brushes are also being pro-
duced for use with the higher
priced models, Miss Middleton said.
