JIOOD RIVKK QLaCIEB TfltJHSDAX, NOVEMBER 4, 1020 RED CROSS CHEER IN SOLDIERS' HOSPITALS Cretonne Curtains, Pianos and Phonographs Remarked By Writer. By J. F. LAN'DRR "As dreary as a hospital." It's an of ton-heard statement Innting probably with someone father or mother or baby had 1 a hospital for days someone experience had stamped on his forever a picture of white, plaii Whit, plain room; white, silent dors deserted by all but whit ciipnt Diiniit. There are many g cliirt, such. Hospitals now nre being established by the score, institutions of the Uni ted States public health service which are to care for the former service men who need medical or surgical atten tion. Some of the patients will make short stays. Some will be. there years. Many are tuberculosis wreck ed, with nono too much Joy in lite ahead at best. The public health service has a full sized task on its hands in actual medi cal and surgical work. There must be something more if these institutions some of them hero in the Northwest, nt Tacoma, Holse, Fort Townsend are different from the hospitals too many of us have known. The lied Cross is that something more. I learned that when 1 went out to the old Clubman Indian school, now a new public heulth service hospital. The buildings were old and alteration work had progressed Just far enough to permit of the reception of forty odd patients who couldn't be crowded into the older institutions; paint was lack lng everywhere. It looked drear) enough to be a hospital. Then I found the Red Cross build lng, headquarters for the social service workers assigned to the institution. I found the recreation hall- retonno- curtained, equipped with piano, phono graphs, books, and furniture which wasn't white and iquare, I found It filled with "walking cases" listening to Ted Williams' Jazz Hand and Al JolRon. I went with the Red Cross workers to boys who two years ago were fight lng men but who now spend day and night In bed. They were not nurses' visits; they were tho talks of friends. 1 saw tho auditorium; the motion pic ture machlno from the national Red Cross; books, music, nice things to eat, magazines, tobacco, from the local Chapter of the organization. I saw a strange thing- -hospital patients who all were happy. After all, they really don't need to bo "as dreary as a hospital."
