HOSPITAL ADMISSION
EXPLAINED BY VA
In spite of the vast expansion
of the Veterans Administration’s
hospital facilities during the past
four years, the VA is still not able
to take care of the veterans as fast
as they apply, according to a re
cent VA announcement.
The VA said that in 1945 it had
a total of 97 hospitals with 82,000
beds available for the care and
treatment of veterans. Since that
time the number of VA hospitals
has been increased to 130, with
beds for 111,000 veteran patients,
but there is still a shortage of hos
pital beds.
In order to provide for the ad
mittance of veterans to VA hos
pitals on an equitable basis, the
VA has established the following
system of priorities to screen ap
plicants:
1. Veterans needing emergency
treatment are admitted immediate
ly at any VA hospital.
2. Veterans with service-connect
ed ailments get second preference
and are admitted right away.
3. If a veteran's ailment is not
service-connected, and it does not
require emergency treatment, he
must wait until a hospital bed is
available. He must also certify
that he cannot afford to pay for
hospital treatment.
DAN BEDFORD IN HOSPITAL
Right after Dean Bedford was
released from the Seward General
Hospital following an operation
for appendicitis, his brother, Dan
Bedford, was admitted to undergo
medical treatment. The cause of
Dan’s hospitalization was not made
known.
Councilman Don S. Wilson asked
leave of absence fom the City
Council Monday evening. He left
this morning for a short vacation

FARM TRAINING CLASS
WILL MEET MONDAYS
The Farm Training Class for
veterans will meet Mondays in the
room assigned to it on the second
floor of the Seward Public School.
The time is one o’clock in the
afternoon.
There are thirteen men and one
lady veterans enrblled in the class
now and a number of non-veterans
sit in the classes. There are also
two veterans at Hope. Dr. R-: O.
Suddath, VMD, who is instructor
here, is very optimistic He says
the set-up is very attractive and
that the class should accomplish
a great deal of good for home
steaders.
WARN YOUTHFUL MOTORISTS
ABOUT RECKLESSNESS
Chief of Police Leonard J. Clark
has issued a warning to youthful
drivers reckless driving and nui
sance driving will not be tolerated
in Seward. The Chief stated that
warnings had not been effective
and light fines had accomplished
little.
In one case the maximum penal
ty has been invoked, he said, and
will continue to be invoked until
the situation changes.
With the arrival of so many new
cars in Seward, Clark said, a large
number of “jallopies” have become
the property of youths. They will
have to be kept in safe condition
and must be driven in a safe
manner.
BLACK WOLF KILLED
AT MINING CAMP
Mr. Robert Clark of Falls Creek
Mining Co. shot a black wolf one
night last week. Black wolves have
been seen around the camp several
times this season. The one Mr.
Clark shot was within seventy-five
yards of the house.
He reports that a very large
brown bear has been sighted on
several occasions within a short
distance of the camp. He’s anxious
to get a shot at him. He thinks
if the brown bear and the wolves
could be killed off there would be
much more wild game on the
mountains. Very few sheep or
goats were seen this summer.
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Edwards are
parents of a baby boy born October
16 at the Seward General Hospital.
The baby weighed eight pounds,
one ounce at birth. He was named
Joe Gentry.
A son. Dale Alan, was born to
Mr. and Mrs. Jim Shea at the Sew
ard General Hospital on October
16. His birth weight was six pounds
and seven ounces.
TRAFFIC VIOLATION BRINGS
HEAVY FINE
A maximum fine of $200 and a
ninety day suspended sentence
were imposed on Frank Sanders
of Seward in Anna B. Southard’s
Commissioner’s Court Saturday
morning for violation of traffic
laws.
According to information given,
call after call had come in from
citizens whose sleep was disturbed
as the car he was driving without
a muffler sped through the town.
The offense for which he was
fined took "place Friday night and
Saturday morning. At first Sanders
was merely given a warning and
told to get the car off the street.
Later in the night officers found
him still driving the car about town
and gave him a ticket to appear in
court. A couple of hours later he
was picked up again, still driving
the car around town.

THE GREAT NEW PLYMOUTH DeLuxe
ALL-METAL SUBURBAN
Exclusive with Plymouth, a new kind of car that is three j
cars in one! Looks like a station wagon with its sleek, all
metal body in the flowing lines of all new Plymouths.
Rides like a sedan, for all seats are cradled between the
wheels. Converts to a room cargo carrier, for the rear
seat folds down and forms part of the floor with its metal
back, thus providing a clear cargo space 68” long (89”
long with the tail gate down). Rear springs have 9 leaves
for extra strength. Special 18” wheels are available for
rough country.
It's an all-purpose lamily car—ideal for shopping, taking
children to school. It's a stylish limousine for resorts and
hotels ... a smart-looking, easy-to-park customer service
car for druggists, grocers and florists . . . an economical
fleet unit ... a fine car for salesmen carrying samples.
Builders, farmers, tradesmen can use it in many practical
ways. For the hunter, caqiper, or fisherman, it carries
dogs, tents, even a small boat—and provides adequate
space for two persons to sleep comfortably. Truly a car
with 101 uses!
