Hospita! Day At
Seward Sanatorium
The public will learn the in
tricacies of tuberculosis treat
ment when Seward Sanatorium
plays host to numerous visitors
in commemoration of Hospital
Day, Sunday, May 9.
Activities slated for the after
noon celebration are highlighted
by a flag-raising ceremony at
1:30 p.m. in front of the Admin
istration Building with music
provided by the American Le
gion, and the first official in
spection of the Rehabilitation
Center, which offers to the pub
lic various services.
A tea in the Dining Hall will
follow the flag dedication cere
mony and personal inspections
throughout the Sanatorium will
be conducted thereafter by per
sonnel expert on hospital pro
cedure.
The tours will originate at the
Administration Office and fol
low through the steam plant,
laundry, hospital wards, dietary
department, occupational ther
apy, station KSAN, pharmacy
and Rehabilitation Center. “The
essence of the tour,” Paul Nel
son, Administrator, said, “is to
demonstrate the necessity of tu
berculosis treatment in conjunc
tion with moral and rehabilita
tion guidance for the patients,
and to simplify the complex or
ganization of a hospital so a
layman may appreciate the prob
lems apd achievements of his
hospital.”
The instruments and theories
of the many complex tubercu
losis treatments will be explain
ed to those interested by the
Sanatorium medical staff. An
inspection of surgical equipment
includes a visit to th« minor sur
gery' and major surgery rooms
where complicated gauges and
valves make much of the equip
ment look like elaborate per
petual motion machines. Lay
men will learn about the num
erous sterilizing equipment—-one
machine being the size and shape
of your water heater.

that each ward has its separate

the Sanatorium.
A bus shuttle sendee will op
erate between the Sanatorium
and the Rehabilitation Center
throi-#bout the afternoon; the

How to get better results
with kerosene appliances
There’s no need to stand watch
over baking in your kerosene
range or stay near a kerosene
heater or lamp when first lit
if you always burn Pearl Oil,
Standard’s famous kerosene. A Pearl Oil flame does
not creep up. It is super-refined ... impurities re
moved, maintains even heat, allows smoke and soot
free deration. Pearl Oil bums evenly without “ker
oseney” fumes, and is a favorite for incubators and
brooders. For top results with kerosene appliances,
let us supply you with Pearl Oil.

A POET'S WOES
I wrote a poem once, ’twas
called:
The Better Things of Life.
It told about the things we do
In everlasting strife.
I used long words—ten dollar
ones—
That seemed to me sublime;
’Twas perfeat in its rhythm,
Perfect in its rhyme.
I wrote another poem, too.
’Twas called: One Night in
June,
And rhymed it all to beat of
hearts—
Its rhythm lovers’ tune.
Of them both I liked the first—
The second was a feather;
I wrapped them in an envelope
And sent them in together.
The first came back w>ith polite
denial
Of rights to published be,
The second never did return—
Came a fat check to me.
And so it always is with us,
The Editors have a fright
Of all poetry in deeper vein
They pick on something light.
