A huge floral offering of wild azaleas was brought in Saturday from the Jerome Prai rie Garden club under sponsor ship of Mrs. Edward Ganvung of Grants Pass. They were dis tributed In a highly decorative manner. Aspecial incident In the in firmary was the arrival on May 12 of a brand new refrigeration unit for preserving the penicil lin and other mediclnals. It had been on order and was deliver ed, appropriately, on Hospital day. In view of the restricted char acter of hospitalization at Camp White, and as a special review on this occasion, Manager Paul A. Hatton consented to clarify the situation prevailing in these words: "The Veterans Administra tion's predominant function at Camp White is the furnishing of domiciliary care for those suf fering from permanent and chronic disabilities which are disabling and not susceptible of cure or improvement by hospit alization. "However, In order to pro vide proper care to domiciled members it Is necessary to op erate on a permanent basis a medical division composed of a professional staff of doctors and nurses, an infirmary, an x-ray department, a dental clinic, a surgery, a medical laboratory, a dietitian, a social service de partment and such other auxil iary medical personnel as may be required. -EL. walker' SW MFM.
