TWO MEDFORD (OMGOK) MAIL TRIBUNE Hospital Problems Topic Of Interviews V. .h Staff Some of the problems encoun tered in operating a hospital were outlined in an interview today with Miss B. J. Larsen, ad ministrator of Rogue Valley Me morial hospital (Community hos pital) and members of her staff. Attention is currently being foc used on the hospitals, which ob serve National Hospital week from May 6 to 12 this year. Under one roof are trained personnel who offer 24-hour- 'Wallsays I'm , f a whiz!" Wally thinks it's pure magic the way I keep our house spotless and till have so much time for the things I like to do. Of course, it's finding faster, easier ways to do tny housework that really does the trick. Just take wood floors. How I haled that messy cleaning and waxing. And my arms and back would ache for days afterwards. Then I heard about Brace Cleaning "Wax. What a joy! There's oo floor washing at all because Bruce cleans as it waxes. Takes only half the time. To top it off, tny wood floors never looked better. Just try a can of ' Bruce Cleaning Wax. Everybody who uses it thinks it's wonderful. Incidentally, Tve found ether Bruce floor products help me, too. There's truce Floor Cleaner for cleaning and lighter waxing, Bruce Paste Wax, ; Bruce Asphalt Tile Cleaner, Bruce , Asphalt Tile Self-Polishing Wax and the new Bruce Self-Polishing Wax.

A total of 115 persons is regu larly employed to serve patients occupying the 56 beds in the hospital. As Mrs. Bernice W. Nims, director of nurses, points out, service to patients must be maintained 24 hours daily, sev-. en days each week, regardless of the number of patients -in the building on any particular day. A full nursing staff must be kept on duty, available for emergencies as well as regular care. This means that labor costs make up a large portion of a hospital bill. Mrs. Nims has - charge of 70 employees, including 27 regis tered nurses, 29 aids and 29 li censed practical nurses, and three orderlies who do general floor work. Eight more register ed nurses and two aids work in the surgery. Mrs. Nims is on duty each morning, and the aft ernoon supervisor is Mrs. Brook sie Johnson, R. N. Food for the - patients - and staff is prepared by a staff of six persons each day, under the direction of .Mrs. Tom MacLeod, dietitian. As Mrs. MacLeod points out, her work is compli cated by the fact that a variety of "diets" must be prepared for each meal, and care must be taken to see that each patient receives only foods approved by his doctor. , The usual directions call for a "general," "light," "soft," or liquid" diet, but some patients may require in addition a special diet such as salt-free or calorie reducing. Ordinarily, the staff is given the same menu as that. provided on the patients' "gen eral diet." Some foods must be ordered several days in advance a fact which gives Mrs. MacLeod some trouble as the need for these items varies considerably from day to day: Careful planning is needed to estimate closely -the amount of food to prepare. Mealtimes vary . somewhat from those patients ordinarily Observe at home, a. fact necessi tated by .nursing care schedules as well as efficiency in prepar ation. In order to serve meals at 7 ajn., 11 a.m.' and 4 p.m. daily, cooks', and ' helpers must be on duty from 5:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. After you have used the auto matic washer for tinting cloth ing, be sure to clean it thorough ly to prevent staining clothes in future laundries.
