Hospital Study Shows
More Planning Needed

average hospital bill per ad-
mission was $85. In 1859, the
average stay had been cut to
7.8 days but the average bill
had risen to $235.
Outstanding among the de-
ficiencies, on an overall basis,
is the problem of imbalance.
Broadly, this shows up most
markedly in the lack of facili-
ties for long-term patients

Hospital care never has been
better, but there still are so
many deficiencies that CO.
ordinated area planning is
urgently needed to meet them.
That is the conclusion
reached by a joint committee
of the American Hospital As
sociation and the United States
Public Health Service in an
18-month study.
The 15-member committee
released its findings last night
in a 56-page booklet entitled
"Areawide Planning for Hos
pitals and Related Health Fa-
cilities."
In the background of the
study is the dramatic rise in
hospital costs. The study noted
that, in the past decade, hos
pital costs per patient-day
have jumped Ill per cent
while the consumer price in
dex rose % per cent.
In 1916, the report said, the

ers, plus a smattering Of those
from warmer climes, to whom
skiing was a strange and alien
sport, practiced in the main by
daredevils with Scandinavian
names, who seemed to hurl
themselves off precipices.
Although nearby skiing was
a primitive and sometimes
thing. the group prospered and
grew. A few rope tow areas in
the Pennsylvania and Mary
land mountains were the only
facilities. unless the long drive
into New England was at
tempted.
But the enthusiasm was
there. and through the club
the sport was gradually in
troduced into this part of the
country.
Less than 10 years ago, the
club opened its slope at Cabin
Mountain. near Davis, w. Va.
Commercial developments in
the Alleghenies soon followed,
and there are now II ski areas
within five hours drive of
Washington.
HAH
1t is therefore fitting, on the
25th anniversary of the club,
to be able to report the most
significant development in area
skiing in the Is years. A full
fledged. major ski developments
will be built this summer less
than rs miles west of Washing
ton. Planned are one and prob
ably two double chair lifts, ex-
tensive snow-making facilities,
trails up to one mile in length
and full auxiliary facilities such
as ski school. dining hall and
ski shop.
The area is to be developed
on 800 acres Of Blue Ridge
foothills, near Washington, Va,
Just three miles off Route 2ll.
Overlooking the Blue Ridge
and Skyline Drive, it was care
fully chosen to provide a chai-
lenge to the intermediate and
expert skier while providing
gentle slopes for novices and
ski school operation. The be-
ginners' area alone will cover
some 10 acres.
The area will operate the
year around, its chairlift ele-
vating summer tourists for a
spectacular view of the Blue
nloge. Camping and swimming
facilities are planned for the
summer to make the area a
major recreational center.

proficiency are being surveyed

Use Homemade Darts
Our darts were homemade
mostly in reds and yellows, anc
they proved very successful.
You can start fishing as soor
as you pull out of one OF thu
several camps but on our first
day we spent much extra time
in exploration.
Downstream in a broad
stretch We took two or thret
shad but the fishing was slow
so we headed upstream. About
a mile and q half above the
camp we came to what looked
like excellent shad water.
A side stream flowed into the
main river and created a fair
amount of turbulence. Throw
ing the anchor ashore, we
climbed on the bank and started
casting into the fast water. AL.
most instantly a shad struck
and after leaping madly and
fighting for minutes along the
bank, was netted.
Return Every Morning
That was our fishin' hole and
we returned to it every morning
Perhaps a half dozen fish q
day were taken trolling but
nine-tenths of our catches oi

from the bank.
Sometimes cattle would ford
the little stream and graze
close to US, but they only eyed
US curiously. Crappie and bass
would lie close to the bank ano
we caught several casting fol-
the shad. Occasionally a snake
or a big turtle would seek the
shade, but in the main it. was
peaceful and about as pleasant
fishing as one could find.
Bill is by no means secretive
and we were perfectly willing
to tell the outboarders about
our bonanza but everyone
seemed intent on trolling SO
we refrained.

st. Johns Placid
The st. Johns, a few miles
east Of this little Central
Florida city which has taken
to calling itself the Shad
Capital Of the World, is a
placid stream.
Near its mouth, at Jack
sonville. it is wide but here
it is much narrower than the
Potomac above Great Falls.
The waters are clear but
coffee colored and they flow
rapidly but gently as the river
twists and turns through a
picturesque landscape. Much of
it is open rangeland and
scrubby cattle come to browse
and drink.
Islands sometimes divide the
river which branches off here
and there into little bays and
channels to confuse the un-
wary newcomer. Some Of the
branches are man-made for
irrigation or other purposes.
Birds Plentiful
! Occasionally the banks are
lined with cabbage palms, oaks
or mangroves that intertwine
. their roots. In the coves are
water lilies or wster-hyacinth
in which bass and Dream hide.
Marsh birds are everywhere
and If an angler keeps his eyes
peeled he'll see egrets, various
heronS or perhaps an anahinga
-or water turkey.
