Due Alt. Council
Takes Over Ward
In Vets Hospital
By Mrs. Ralph Thompson
The women attendng the March
meeting of the Blue Mountain
council listened to a very interest
ing talk by Col. Beatty, command
ing officer at the Veterans hospital
in Walla Walla. Col Beatty brought
out these facts: this hospital is the
only one in the northwest treating
tuberculosis. It cares for veterans
from Washington, Idaho Montana,
and Oregon. It has as many from
Oregon as atients in Washington
and at this time the patients are
equally divided between World War
One and Two but the number of
patients from the last war is ris
ing rapidly. The Colonel stated
there are 1,00,000 men suffering
with this disease from the last war.
He further stated that medical
men had changed some of their
methods of treatment for this type
of disease. They are allowing re
creation programs throughout the
wards. He also stated the work of
the council could be carried for
ward without any conflict with the
splendid program of help sponsored
so many years by the American
Legion, its auxiliary and the Vet
erans of Foreign Wars.
We know the people who gave
so generously of their money for
use at McCaw will be gld to know
the sunroom furniture, the many
records, record players, the spot
light and awning, and many other
gifts went to the Veterans at their
request. Game tables and bicycles
went to Madigan at Ft. Lewis. The
small piano went to the Airbase
hospital. If that is closed it will be
refinished and given to the
Veterans.
Because Morrow county people
did such a grand job at McCaw, we
have been given Ward 7 at the Vet
erans in answer to another request.
This ward is called the terminal
America's Newest . . .

ward which means when all treat
ments fail, the patients go into this
ward. Borne might stay for years,
while with others it is a matter of
a few months, a few weeks, a few
days. There are 75 men in the vari
ous rooms which make up the
ward. We have started two birth
day parties a month with cake and
ice cream served to all the patients,
with phone calls as birthday gifts
and as prizes in the simple games
which can be played owing to the
serious condition of the men. This
is going to cost more money than
our parties at McCaw but two oth
er counties are thinking of helping
us out with the phone calls. Know,
ing what Morrow county has ac
complished in the past at McCaw
we know we can do a good job for
the Veterans. It is a privilege to
serve such deserving boys, the
majority of them are so young and
are from this last war.
