Ladies of the Naval Officers’ Wives Club who were invited for coffee at the Naval Base Hospital by the
hospital staff in celebration of the dedication of the new pediatric room.
Pediatric Room
At NS Hospital
Dedicated Aug. 17
The newly refurnished pediatric
room at the Naval Base hospital
was dedicated August 17 as the
Harriot McKechnie Room. Mrs.
McKechnie, wife of Admiral
Arnold McKechnie, former Com
mander COM 17, was the motivat
ing power behind the project,
originally begun in the fall of 1959.
Honored guests for the dedica
tion ceremonies and a coffee party
given by the hospital staff, were
members of the Naval Officers’
Wives Club, whose support sup
plied new equipment and decor to
make the room suitable and appeal
ing to small children.
Originally, LCDR Eleanor J.
Maguire, head nurse at the hos
pital, saw the need for a room for
babies and young children which
would be more suitable than the
bare grey walls of the sparsely fur
nished one in use at the time. She
presented her ideas to a board
meeting of the Wives’ Club, along
with a list of badly needed sup
plies. Mrs. McKechnie, who headed
the hospital committee during her
tour here, won the approval of the
club members and with their par
ticipation, kept the project going
toward completion.
A shower, to which all com
mands brought articles for the
room, and a bake sale which netted
over two hundred dollars for the
purchase of a crib and other equip
ment, made possible a most at
tractive and practical room.
With funds from the bake sale,
Mrs. H. H. Caldwell and her com
mittee bought pink curtains and
attractive storybook placques, pa
jamas, plastic dishes, blankets and
other necessary equipment. Public
works painted the walls pink The
Coast Guaii Officers’ Wives Club
