Rear End Collisions Are
Special Hazard In City

Each year more drivers drive
more cars further than ever
before. And these increases are
accompanied by more accidents
of a particular type = the rear
end collision.
These accidents are a special
problem in congeSted city are
as, where traffic so often moves
slowly and with frequent stops
and starts, and in Superhigh-
ways, with their one-way, high
speed, no-stopping pattern.
This type Of collision often re-
suits in a chain-reaction pile-up
as following vehicles ram into
the halted cars.
The sureSt way to avoid a
rear-end collision is to p
your distance, the National Safe
ty Council points out. A distance
equal to the length of your We
hicles for each 10 miles per

you may get clouted from be-
hind.
To protect yourself as well
as the motorists in front and to
the rear, always avoid unneces-
sary sudden stops as well as
speed too fast for weather con-
ditions or the type of road.
And never maintain expressway
speed after your turmoil, n 0
matter how slow it seems you
are going.

New Hospital
Will Provide
Modern Facilities

DR.. Richard Uhrich, who is
we'll remembered in San Carlos
from his term of service in the
hospital several years ago, has
returned to take up a perma-
nent position as head of the
new hospital. 1t is hoped that
some of the other doctors on
the staff Of the new hospital
will want to stay more than
the two years which has been
customary in the past.
The new hospital is modern
and we'll equipped for all kinds
of medical service. DR.. Uhrich
says that it is as well laid out
to be functionally effective as
any hospital of its size that he
has ever seen.
The hospital is designed SO
that each type of service will
have its own wing of the build
ing. There will be a pediatric
unit which will have adequate
facilities to isolate children with
contagious diseases. ISolating
such eases has posed a problem
in the old hospital. There will
also be an indoor and an out
door playroom in the pediatric

be introduced now that there
is adequate equipment. No
major surgery will be done at
the new hospital. The surgical
emergency room is in the surg
ical wing, next to main en-
trance. 1t is we'll away from
the out-patient wing, so that
emergencies should not inter
fere with clinics. There is
morgue in this wing, and au-
topsies can be performed there.
The out-patient wing will be
more adequate than the pres
ent set-up. There are five
examining rooms and adjacent
to them is a dental suite with
two examining rooms. The re-
ception room, record room, and
pharmacy are centrally located.
The reception room is equip
ped with comfortable chairs
rather than benches.
Another wing is the admin
Strative and maintenance wing.
Apache drum beat., 1963-08-01

The maintenance wing contains
the kitchen, which has a .caf-
eteria for the patients who are
able to walk.
The hospital is designed as 9
36 bed hospital, but it can
probably hold so or more beds
without too much confusion.
At the present hospital, which
is much smaller, the average
daily patient load is 80 to 40.
The present hospital also hand
les more than 1000 out-patients
per month. The new hospital
will have a total staff of 81
persons, including four doctors.
1t is the third new hospital to
be built recently in the Phoenix
area.
Patients began moving into
the new hospital Saturday, July
27, and it was fully operational

cation is scheduled for Septem.

section. Critical cases will be
placed in room which can be
seen from the nurses station,
so that these children will be
under observation at all times.
There is also a medical wing
for adult patients. Each room
is designed for no more than
four patients, and the individu-
al beds can be partitioned off,
TO allow privacy for examina-
tionS, etc. This will be a well
come contrast to the large
wards of the present hospital.
Another wing is the obSterical
and surgical wing. In the OBJ
Stetrical section the labor room
and post partum room will be
separated. There is an ade-
quate, we'll equipped delivery
room. The surgical suite will
probably not be used for some
