With presents. With turkey. With firecrack- ers. Not even a cherry tree. Only remembrances. Families plan other holidays. There are joyful preparations for Christmas in the deep pleasure of doing for others. there is profound religious significance. 1 There are sorrowful chores for Memorial Day— | vet, for most Americans, they belong to an earlier generation. There is a close, homey feeling about Thanksgiving —for loved ones, for a loved country. Strictly Am- erican. Strictly happy. There is renewed hope at the New Year, when- ever its observance, whatever its relation to creed. The hope of starting over—Whee, let's celebrate! Wherever, whenever—we like to celebrate to- gether. But— Today, on the anniversary we didn't inherit, there is no pattern of celebration excent the things that will remind each of us—and each of us BY HIMSELF —of things that need thinking through What did we gain, in those high hopes, those glorious deeds? What must we do now in valor of body or mind, to realize those ideals which, para- doxically, generate from individual minds and hearts, yet are realized in terms of a greater world? {dun fer & fevor if they wili promptly BObity | o ’bcm helped in its final stages by the hiring of an For Christians, {221,517 patients admitted to hospitals in 1937, ten |thousands who never could afford it previously.

He had a “name from the frequent political rows when a member of the New Deal administration. He had been fired from the cabinet by President Truman. Judging by the eggs and tomatoes thrown at him, his early campaigning was a success. Crowds flocked to hear or boo him. Things were looking up for Henry in those days and almost anything seemed possible. But not for long. «The philosophy which Wallace sought to sell found few takers. People stayed away from his rallies, towards the end, in droves. Nary an cgg was tossed in his direc- tion and it is not recorded that he suffered so much as one cat call or beo as he neared the climax of his “drive” for the Presidency. All which must have been a blow to the Wallace backers. They were not accorded the dignity cf opposition; they were ignored. In this fashion, the American people demonstrated {their sentiments toward leftist doctrines preached by Wallace and his cohorts. The former Vice-President’s campaign might have egg thrower or two. But, as the results have shown, not even Walter Johnson on the payroll to do the hurling could have done much to raise the Wallaceites from the doldrums. Growth of Hospitals | (New York Times) It is a dramatic fact, according to newly published figures, that the almost 18,000,000 Americans admitted into the 6,173 hospitals of the United States in 1947 represent nearly a 100 per cent increase over the 9,- 16,000.000 patients, 2,000,000 more than in 1946, were admitted to general hospitals in 1947. Rising prices left their mark, according to the directory, as the aver- age cost of caring for a patient for one day in 2 =eneral hospital jumped from $9.39 to $11.09 in 1946- 47, leaving a daily deficit of $1.38 per patient. Hospitals spent about $400.000,000 more in 1947 than in 1946. due to hicher wages, hizher prices and expanded services. It is siznificatn that the averaze patient entering a general hospitol last vear staved for only eight days as compared to 9.1 days in 1946. The Association seems justified in feeling that this shorter hospital stay results from the increasing tend- ency of patients to enter hospitals in earlier stages of illness, as well as from wider recognition of the value of hospitals, improved treatment methods and early * ambulation. Blue Cross and other prepayment plans have put hospital service within financial reach of continued progress in medical science and hospital Today is a holiday we DIDN'T inherit. | We have no pattern for its “celebration”— | Except thinking. 1 et | Don't tell the high scool student, but the gov- ernments and business of the world are managed bv} men not more than one of 25 of whom knows the | difference between a gerundive and a simultaneous | equntlnn { The Washmgfon Merry-Go-Round mission.
