NutionuI Hospital
Week Moy 6-12

Delawareans have been invited
by Governor Elbert N. Carvel to
join in ''saluting our hospitals and
all associated with them" during
National Hospital Week, May 6-12.
In a statement issued at Dover
this week, the chief executive
urged everyone to give full recog-
milton and appreciation to the vital
role hospitals play in protecting
and maintaining our health"
The statement follows:
Hospitals are vital part of the
communities they serve. They pro-
vide the highly trained personnel
and facilities necessary to protect
and improve the health and well
being of our people and, in many
instances, serve as schools" f o r
training of those who will later
have the responsibility of admins
tering to our physical needs.
Hospitals reach beyond patients
in their quest for good health for
the community. They teach princi-

pies of health, hygiene and preven-
tive medicine. They further serve
their communities as sources o f
help and hope in the event of a
disaster or epidemic.
"That admissions to hospitals
have risen steadily is an indica-
ton of public acceptance of the
fact that hospitals are constantly
striving to improve service and
keep pace with medical progress.
We do not like to think of needing
hospital care, but it is comforting
to know that the doors of our hos
pitals are open at any time 9f the
day or night in case of illness rpr
injury.
"It is most fitting that during
National Hospital Week, May 6-J,
we all join in saluting our hospitals
and all associated with them. Let
us all give full recognition a n d
appreciation to. the vital role hos
pitfalls play in protecting and snain-
tanning our health.

the street, but how many. times
have you paused to speak to some
one while driving, when you are
SURE the street is clear Of other
cars, only to hear the loud honk Of
a car wanting you to move on!
One day last week q lnotorist
saw a little girl crossing the street
as though she were in a dream.
When he got closer to her, he saw
she was trying to coax her tiny
kitten to hurry across the lane.
She had been told not to cross the
the lane with any Of her pets, but
there she was and you were in
such a hurry to get by that you
barely missed hitting her. When
you honked your horn she was so
startled that she reached down to
pick up her kitten which ran.
She started after it but fortunately
for you the boy who was also
walking in the pedestrian lane
reached out and held her so you
could rush by.
He did not get your license
number because the struggling
tiny child was keeping him busy
trying to hold her. No doubt you
said the child had no business
being in the lane. You had no bus
mess crossing as long as she was
there. You couldn't have been in
that big a hurry that you would
risk the life Of a little child so
you could make the next light, but
that is what you did.
I looked at you as you sped
down the street and wondered how
you could go on and not come back
to see what happened to the little
girl. You must have some sort of
conscience.
I also wondered what excuse you
would have given to the traffic
cop for your haste If there had
been one there to stop you All
of the automobiles on earth are
not worth the life Of one child. The
little child was put down on the
sidewalk and thanked the boy for
saving her kitten! Not a thought
Of herself.
Isn't 1t better to be safe than
sorry?

watch out for them.

He was careless about remember

Former Editor Dies
Of Heart AFfock

Memphis CAMP - Lewis Ossie

ence Of Law Enforcement and
Racial and Cultural Tensions.
Approximately 200 police chiefs
and top police administrative Of
ficials from the entire state heard
DR.. Morsell cite the complex fac
tors which are involved in the re-
lationship between police and the
law and the Negro community.
Tracing the history Of the NAA-
CP and its fight for freedom for
Negroes in the United States, DR..
Morsell stressed the fact that all
NAACP activity is geared to
achieving equality through legal
methods. In the instances Of pick
citing, demonstrations and selective
buying programs, DR.. Morsell not
ed that since 1t makes good sense
to observe police regulations and
other official requirements In
these connections, such observances
can be taken for granted. The pos
sible exceptions are in those parts
Of the South where local ordin-
ances are applied in a discrimin-
atory and harassing manner, and
where their violation seems to be
the only way to secure judicial
interpretations which will ensure
fairness"
He cited the long history Of
lynching in the South, often with
the knowledge and active aid of
law enforcement officials and the
obvious distrust which Negroes
have had for laws made solely by
white people, for white people, and
enforced by white people. Although
lynching may be a thing Of the
past, police brutality has taken Its
place, he indicated.
DR.. Morsell stressed the fact
that equality of citizenship Is be-
yond controversy among reason
able men and its espousal cannot
violate the principle of keeping
