A cheery atmosphere throughout, the very latest in scientific
equipment, ultra-cleanliness and dozens of innovations aimed
toward patient and visitor comfort.
These were among the impressions gleaned by nearly 1000
persons who visited Salem Memorial hospital's open house

East Salem School Voters
rShow But Little Interest
East Salem Although the number of voters out for the school
election on Friday was larger than it is for some school elections
it was a small percent of the registered voters in the four dis
tricts voting at East Salem polling place, the C and K lumber
yard office. They are the suburban communities and those that
were consolidated wun oaiem.'s-
24, about two years ago
It was the first election that
all registered voters could vote,
with property ownershio not
considered, but the clerks, who
have been on the election boa'd
.i for several years, and know the
most of the property owners re
port very few non-property
owners take advantage of the
privilege.
Auburn district has been divi
ded into two precincts, those
west of Lancaster Drive 57. and
22 of the voters voted; Auburn

Roses Invited
By Corvallis
Corvallis is inviting rose
growers from throughout tne
Willamette valley to compete in
its free rose show June 11 tnd
12.
Fourteen trophies are being
offered in the 1949 edition of
this annual event sponsored by
the Corvallis Men's Garden
club. There are separate classes
for experienced amateurs and
for beginners. Classes for flow-
arrangements are included
in addition to the numerous rose
classes. Detailed show schedules
can be obtained on request from
the Corvallis Chamber of Com
merce.
In general, the rose classes
call for single blooms, three
blooms, five blooms, or 12
blooms. The three-bloom or five
bloom entries must be of one
variety; the 12-bloom entries
may be mixed.
Entries must be brought to
the Franklin school building in
Corvallis on North 18th street
between 7:30 a.m. and noon on
June 11. The show will be open
to the public without charge
from 2:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. on
June 11 and from 10 a.m. to 8
p.m. on June 12.
Last year's show attracted
over 500 entries from through
out western Oregon and south
west e r n Washington. C. L.
Smith, show manager, is antici
pating an even larger number
of exhibits this year.
The hospital has within the
past 18 months spent $75,000 to
ward the improvement of its
building and facilities, and Sun
day's open house provided the
general public with an opportu
nity to see what's been done.
And everyone who toured the
South Winter street plant agreed
that the money has been well
spent.
It isn't necessary to enter the
building to observe that prog
ress is being made. Landscap
ing of grounds, paving of the
parking strips and exterior paint
ing give the hospital a neat, clean
appearance to the passerby.
Paint has not been spared
within, either. All wards, pri
vate rooms, halls, surgery
rooms, etc., have recently been
given a paint Job. Use of plas
tic curtains and bright wallpa
per undoubtedly boost the
morale of any patient during his
stay at the hospital.
Visitors Considered
Tile floors have been added
in some departments, and new
linoleum in all other parts of the
building. V i s i t o r s' waiting
rooms have also been brighten
ed by the use of new floor cov
erings, cheery wallpaper, new
lamps and chairs, etc.
Major improvements have
been made in surgical and chem-1
ical departments. Salem Me
morial has spared nothing in;
providing up-to-date equipment!
for nearly every type of treat-!
ment.
Three completely rebuilt and!
re-equipped surgery rooms not
only boost the most modern
equipment, but also are arrang
ed in the most convenient man
ner for the working doctors and
nurses. Much new equipment,
including $2,000 worth of in
struments, has been added.
A darkroom for the develop
ment of X-ray pictures has been
installed near the surgery
rooms, so that X-ray photos may
be developed and returned to
the surgery room in quick time.
Of special interest to open
house visitors Sunday was the

the only one in Salem. In that
department are machines so in
tricate that only an expert can
operate them.
A special operating room for
kidney and bladder cases is an
innovation.
The maternity unit has been
completely remodeled, even to
the enlargement of the area
where expectant fathers pace
away those last few hours. The
remodeling of the maternity unit
has cut down on bed space, but
has greatly improved the all
around efficiency. Twenty-five
babies can be handled at one
time without over-crowding.
The hospital takes particular
care in enforcing strict rules of
cleanliness. A special wash
room for doctors and nurses is
included in the main building.
Here each doctor and nurse must
wash for 10 minutes, then steri
lize in a spray of alcohol before I
