8 D MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. THURSDAY, JULY SI, 1M0 Scientist Says Hospital Wards Must be Abolished By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York-OIPD-From both the scientific and humani tarian viewpoints; the hospi tal ward is out-moded and must be abolished, according to a surgical scientist who is Internationally known lor contributions to hospital tech niques. . Dr. Rupert Vaughan Hud son's chief concern was with the increasing dangers of get ting a staphylococcal infec tion in the modern hospital. His idea was to partition hospital wards into rooms, just large enough to contain one bed, a bedside table, and a cabinet for the patient's clothes. But the patient would have his privacy and would be better protected from any staphylococcal bacteria on the loose. Wards Partitioned Most wards could be parti tioned with no more than a 10 per' cent loss of beds, he argued. Ideally there would be a central corridor with all room doors, giving into it in two facing rows. This compactness would, permit nurses and attendants to care for as many patients as they do now. , ' Tha cost would be-relative-' ly low if the kind of parti tioning now used In ' offices' was adopted. These walls are prefabricated in'staiidard units and are easily put up or. taken down. And these walls could be washed down with disinfectants or better, with steam, readily and with out damage, lie said. Scientifically all this would do much to lick the problem of "hospital infection" which is a problem wherever there are hospitals. Unpleasant Noiiet Ward patients are constant ly assaulted by noises, many of them most unpleasant as in "the recovery from anes thesia and the complaint of pain or fear." The lights are turned on periodically dur ing the night, and so sleeping pills are used "wholesale" to make up for these "defects in medical care." Hudson is British. His was one of the first well known surgical voices to be raised for abolishing the hospital ward, and he raised it in the authoritative technical jour nal, "The Lancet." British and American hospitals are so very similar they're all but identical. The quality and cost of medical care are hot subjects in our country, par ticularly in this election year.

HKi Washington - WD - Thou sand of Americans have rummaged through their piggy banks and coin purses hoping to find that penny saved might bo much more than a penny earned. The nationwide treasure hunt was touched off when UPI reported that Washing ton coin dealer Ben Douglas had placed a vulue of up to $8 and perhaps more on car tain I960 pennies with a flaw In the date. Flood of Calls The dispatch brought a flood of calls to newspapers and broadcast stations. Coin dealers were beselged with inquiries. New York City hospitals reported patients were checking their pennies. And all over Uie country penny-pinchers saw a chance to get rich quick. The cause of all the fuss are so-called 1980 "small date" pennies-coins on which the date under Abraham Lin coln's chin Is smaller Hum normal. "Small 111(10" coins Issued by the Philadelphia mint are the most valuablo although similar irregular pennies wore turned out by Iho Den ver mint. The Denver cop pers nre marked with a tiny "D" under tho dale. They are less valuablo than tho flawed Philadelphia pennies because Denver produced more.
