Nobody, including Board Secre tary Roy Mills, was quite sure when or how the practice started. But all, including Dr. C. E.

It seems that when a patient was to be paroled, and there was some suspicion that he would have to be returned, the patient's sDouse or nearest of kin was re quired to fork up $10 to S25 to assure that the state would noi be stuck with the expense of re turning the patient, if the occas ion arose. Said Gov. Douglas McKay: "We're running a hospital, not a hock shop." Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry and State Treasurer Walter J. Pearson agreed that the parole of a patient should be based entirely on the patient's welfare and should be up to the medical staff at the hospital, with no purse strings attached. It was a day of the humani ties at the board of control meet ing.

March 22, 1353 The board, with a noted trace of apprehension, agreed to buy one automatic washing machine for the student nurses at the state hospital. Apprehensive, lest the precedent should be one that too many other persons in the em ploy of the institutions might want to follow. But, it's like this: The state will put the cash on the line for an automatic washer, then the (girls will nay 10 cents a cycle for use of the contraption when they want to wash out their dainties. The board was advised at a prior meeting that undies were about al! the nurses would be washing out if they got an auto matic washer because their uni forms and sheets and such are laundered by the hospital at no extra cost to the nurses, who are at the hospital to study psychia tric nursing. The machine goes in on an experimental basis and the fee may be lipped a bit if 10 cents a cycle doesn't pay for the gad get. A cycle, it was explained, is a pre-souking, soaping, washing, two rinses and a dry run. All that for a dime. Only Human Thing The board members agreed that the human tiling to do in the case of a displaced person who was found to have tuberculosis of the kidneys was for the state to foot the cost of an operation to remove the diseased organ rather than expose the man to deportation. Seems this displaced person got into the state tuberculosis hospital here without being qualified, although he didn't xuow it. The TB hospital is lim ited to receiving patients with TB of the lungs. lie was in the hospital before it was discovered he had TB of the kidneys. If he should be removed from the hos pital without the operation, he would have no means of support ing himself and would be sub ject to deportation. But once he is operated on al the TB hospi tal and the surgery this time will be on the state he wiil have a job waiting for him in Mt. Antiel as soon as he recovers. The board approved a proposal that two extra painters be hired i'or a month at the tuberculosis lospital at The Dalles. The board was told that the severe winter weather had caused extensive damage to the exterior paint at the hospital. DOG FILLS IN Douglasville. Ga.
