About 50 members and guests attended the fall meeting of the group Wednes day afternoon at the hospital, when the report was issued. Mrs. William A. Barker was chairman . of the tea which followed, and refreshments were served by the flower and mail group. The auxiliary now has 144 members, Mrs. Winton states, including 67 new recruits this year. A break-down of ser vice rendered shows that women working in the flower and mail group gave 393 hours; hospitality cart, 470 hours; surgical dressings, 331 hours; sewing group, 817 hours; and information desk, 538 hours. "Staff services" totaled 37 30 hours, including 1205 hours spent in administration duties; medical records, 2365 hours; medical library, 40 hours; aux iliary membership, 25 hours; clerical work, 51 hours; youth groups, 8 hours; and publicity, 36 hours. Tray favors for patients were provided on 10 holidays throughout the year. These were made by various Girl Scout and Brownie units, Cub Scouts, and Sunday school classes, as arranged through the auxiliary. Special Projects The gift and snack bar re quired a total of 1606 hours of volunteer work, since they began operating in May. Out lying chapters and special project groups gave another 427 hours t o making such items as scuff slippers, "Pink ee Puppets," and surgical in strument kits. Speakers at the meeting were the new administrator, C. I. Gustafson, and Dr. Ed win R. Durno, chief of the hospital medical staff. Mr. Gustafson explained the unique position of a non-profit institution which serves the community, and some of the problems involved in keeping costs within the patients' means. A modern hospital is composed of many technically trained persons, he stated, and the staff and facilities must be available 24 hours daily, 365 days of each year. Figures Given Rogue Valley Memorial con tributes to the economy of Medford an annual payroll of $500,000 according to Mr. Gustafson. In Medford, there is an admission to one of the hospitals every 70 minutes; three babies are born each day; and one out of seven people can expect to be hos pitalized each year. As recently as 30 years ago, hospitals offered mainly cus todial care, and much of the patient care was done by vol unteers, he added. Today, the emphasis is on diagnosis and treatment, as well as convales cent care, and this requires expensive drug therapy, latest equipment and professionally trained personnel. Costs of daily hospital care have in creased 400 per cent since 1935, his figures show. At the present time, 70 per cent of the Rogue Valley Memorial budget goes to salaries, 30 per cent for equipment and supplies. Since 1930, work hours have decreased, result ing in a 30 per cent increase in payroll expense. Costs of supplies and building main tenance have also advanced steadily. Traditionally, state, county and city" governments have not assumed full responsibil ty for hospital care of indig ents and welfare patients, it was said. In the 1920's pa tients paid only about half the cost of hospital operation, since the institutions were heavily endowed. Today our government tax structure is changed, so that less than one half of one per cent of hos pital income comes from en dowments, and patients are expected to bear the full cost of operation, Mr. Gustafson says. Currently, 70 per cent of local patients have some type of insurance to help cover hospital costs. With the help of auxiliary members, the hospital is able to offer more personal care to patients than the regular staff could otherwise manage, he concluded. Dr. Durno stressed the fact that modern hospital equip ment is vital to the operation of a medical centr, and that recent advances in medicine often make the equipment ob solete within a few years.

"Touch-Response" Percussion Control If you haven't already seen it, drop In soon at your Hammond dealer's showroom and take a look at the Hammond Organ with the "Touch-Response" percussion control. It is different from anything which now exists or ever existed as a part of any organ. . First of all, this percussion feature is an added feature which does not In any way change the basic organ. The Hammond Organ is the same " Hammond Organ known for years, with the same thousands of beautiful combinations available in the same way. Yet. now the organist can color any one of the combinations with a distinct percussion voice, simply by the way keys are touched. Desired notes of a melody may be percussively accentuated by playing with a slightly detached touch, while others are played in the traditional legato manner. . Suppose you want to give the effect of a xylophone, vibrcharp, celeste, or Oriental bells these and many other effects are all at the touch of your fingertips with slight changes in the draw bars. . Or, suppose you want to play a soft hymn melody on the chimes. You can obtain a beautiful chime-like effect for the melody with the percussion feature. Or, you can pay a "portamento" with the main melody notes sounding on percussion, and the added slide notes sounding with no percussion. Organists who have tried Hammond's "Touch-Response" percussion control say it is a basic improvement, making the instrument capable of delicate shading of expression and nuances never before possible on any organ. Do stop in soon, and try this "Touch-Response" percussion control. It's available on all Hammond Organs.
