practice should be dropped.
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.

Wednesday. 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.
