National Hospital Day May 12
Because it is important to the ministering to the sick that
Cvery member of the community have full understanding upon
which, to base a generous support of our hospitals, today,
y iny 12, has been proclaimed National Hospital Day and, spon-
sored by the American Hospital Association, is being observed
throughout the country. The Governor of our State has issued
a proclamation regarding it.
Since interest in any matter is enhanced by making it close
and personal, let us bring the subject home to ourselves by
talking about our own hospital.
On Tuesday of this week the contract for the new wing
was signed, and actual work is expected to start within the next
two weeks.
Gifts are still welcome, for the Building Fund lacks yet
¦=,100,000 of its total. Gifts, in fact, are always welcome.
The Cape Cod Hospital, in the five-year period between
1942 and 1947 , maintained a record 4 per cent lower than the
state percentage of premature infant mortality.
Of the 13 schools for attendant nursing in this State, the
Cape Cod Hospital has one, now in its second year.
Recently the Cape Cod Hospital has joined those 28 New
England hospitals which are affiliated with the Boston Eye
Bank in providing free service in the removal of eyes from
deceased patients who before death arranged for their eyes to
be given to the Eye Bank.
The Hospital has the loyal support of all Cape Cod. Be-
sides individual donations, many groups hold benefit events in
itsbehalf. Perhaps the most direct permanent agency is the Cape
Cod Hospital Aid Association. Cape-wide in extent, it has vari-
ous branches established in as many towns. At the recent an-
' nual meeting of the Barnstable Branch, the Work Committee
in its report showed many and varied articles made by its mem-
bers for use in the hospital. The list includes towels, rubber
sheets, baby blankets, sterilizing squares, slings, ether stock-
lings and other items. Quantities of mending had been done.
Articles had also been made by the members of the Unity
Guild of the Hyannis Federated Church, the Woman's Auxiliary
of St. Mary's Church, the Community Service Department of
the Hyannis Woman's Club, and by individual women in their
homes.
From a report of the Finance Committee, the members
learned of sums raised through lectures, coffee hours, plays, par-
ties and food sales. The public is always generous, too, in giv-
ing canned goods, when they are requested to do so, periodi-
cally,
I Our Hospital is a community effort in every sense of the

Away at 82
Few people think of the Anlmoi
Rescue League of Boston as having
a program designed to relievo dis-
tress and needless suffering of live-
stock. The fact Is that we would
bo untrue to our convictions of the
past fifty years If wo fallod to pro-
tect farm animals on the same
basis as we do domestic petB.
Animal cruelties would abound
in stockyards, auctions , abattoirs ,
etc., if wo did not make dally in-
spections of those places. Scarcely
a day goes by that we are not
called upon to relieve a cow, sheep,
goat or pig from the misery of a
broken leg, crushed body from
overcrowding In transit , or acute
sickness caused by exposure to
weather extremes. Marketing In-
terests would make no effort to
contact us because they prefer to
salvage such animals for their de-
preciated economic value.
That Is why it is so important
that we maintain a staff of agents
to Insure the continuance of this
work in the interest ot protecting
animals that come Into our local
martlets, an dto dispose of dis-
tressed creatures to avoid pro-
longed suffering.
Your contribution , no matter
how small, will help to prevent!
much acute and unnecessary suf-
fering.
May we count on you.
Sincerely yours,
