Hospital: Background for an Election
Commissioners Court holdsJts regular ses*
sion today and has before it a petition calling
for a second election on a bond issue fo fi-
nance a new hospital for Orange County,
Since the campaign preceding the election
is likely to become heated, this seems a good
time to publish the background information
which a fact-finding committee for the hos-
pital worked up. Here it is. in the commit-
tee's OWn words. ,
The need for a hospital in Orange lias
been recognized by a number of forward-
thinking people since Orange County began
to be industrialized. The first active move-
ment to build a new hospital in Orange
County was initiated approximately four
years ago by a group of individuals such as
phvsicians. businessmen, etc : representatives
of organizations, such as civic clubs, labor
groups and others; and representatives of
industry.
Members from this group then met with the
Commissioners' Court of Orange County and
had a general discussion of the hospital prob-
lem. As a result of this meeting, the Com-
missioners’ Court requested the group to set
up a Citizens' Hospital Committee, which
was to be charged with the responsibility
of investigating a countv hospital for Orange
County from every angle. The Citizens’ Hos-
pital Committee was organized and, short-
ly thereafter, certain members of this com-
mittee formed a non-profit corporation
mown as tbe t)range County Memorial Hos-
pital Corp. The committee spent a great deal
af time studying the need for a hospital, dis-
cussing a practical program for building one,
and making preliminary plans to put the
program into operation.
The plans which were formulated bv this
group were approved by the State Board of
Health and the County Commissioners'
Court, Petitions were circulated, in accord-
ance With state law, and a $1,2 50,000
hospital Bond vote was called for Saturday,
Dec. 20, 1952.. Due to unfortunate, adverse,
last-minute publicity, which was brought
about by confusion and general misunder-
standing. the bond election failed by a very
small majority. ■
Immediately, a new Hospital Committee
was formed and took steps fo prevent Or-
ange County from losing the $1,250,000 Hill-
Burton giant with the resolve that, if they
were successful in doing this, they" would
resubmit the issue to the voters of Orange
County in a more exhaustive and far-reaCh-
ing campaign, which would be conducted
with a primary purpose of educating the
voters completely on every phase of the hos-
pital proposition.
Orange County has two hospitals. The
Frances Ann Lutcher Hospital was built in
1921 with a capacity of 36 beds. This hos-
pital is now privately owned and is operating
with 46 beds. The structure is 36 years old.
The Orange City Hospital was built during
World War II in order to take care of the
increased population brought into Orange
County by war industries. It was designed
as a temporary structure, and its capacity
originally was 78 beds. This has been in-
creased to 96 beds. You may see by this that
Orange County has a total of 142 hospital
beds which are located in two structures
built to accommodate 114 beds.
Numerous surveys have been completed
in the past three years investigating Orange
County's need for additional hospital facili-
ties. The most recent survey reveals thgt
Orange County now urgently needs a new
general hospital with a capacity of from
200 to 250 beds. The State Board of Public
Health has placed Orange County in its
category “A.” which signifies that it believes
Orange Couniy-.is—in need of new facilities
and a modern general hospital which should
have 200 to 250 beds.
The Orange City Hospital, which cares
for two-thirds of the patients treated locally
in hospitals, is a temporary wartime struc-
ture, expensive to keep up because of the
numerous repairs needed, is non-acceptable
to the Department of Health because it is
not fireproof, and will have to be abandoned
within the next few years.
Existing hospital facilities in adjoining
counties, as well as in Orange, are taxed to
capacity, and a period of tremendous popula-
tion growth is just ahead for the whole
area, particularly Orange County.
Boylt Writes:
Part-Time Money Is
Plentiful to Persons
Who Are Ambitious
This Is Americanism Week
The Texas Federation of Women's Clubs
has undertaken what we consider an excel-
lent and worthwhile step. It proposes to
make an effort to let people of this state
know what the struggle between American-
ism and Communism is all about.
In this undertaking, the 100,000 women of
TFCW will be joined by six million other
women throughout the nation. The program
will be carried on during Americanism
Week which begins today.
Mrs. Van Hook Stubbs of Wortham, state
president of TFWC, spoke for 1,200 clubs
when she explained the objective of the
Americanism Week plans: .“Too many Gls

NEW YpRK (API—There is
more than one way to keep the
wolf from your door.
Thousands of American families
today are beating inflation by ex-
tra. income earned by-sideline pur-
suits.
Other thousands would like to
do this, also, but don’t know how.
Yet almost everyone can find a
way to earn sparetime cash. If he
but looks around him.
One of the best ways is to capi-
talize on your special interests or
hobbies.
A former newspaper friend of
mine. Ted O’Leary, editor Of "The
Profitable Hobbies Magazine,”
published in Kansas City, Mo , has
collected hundreds of examples of
how hobbies can be turned into a
source of profit as well as relaxa-
tion.

One of the oddesLds the case of
Albert F, Marsh (ft Mobile, Ala
Some years ago Marsh received
a single male hamster in payment
of a $1 debt..
He bought two female hamsters
and then began breeding and sell-
ing tile little animals. Within !4
months he quit his job with the
state highway department to de-
vote al lhis time to the masters
U ithui three years Marsh was
grossing $4,(1011 a week, selling
hamsters as pets and to hospitals
and laboratories for experimental
purposes.
Being a housewife is no handi-
cap in the search for gold mines

Minneapolis began painting pias-
ter figurines with friends in 1946
for fun. She wasn't satisfied with
the paints.

To help correct that situation, the federa-
tion will sponsor observance of American-
ism Week with, programs and talks, both in
their own clubs and before other civic
groups. Clubs will be asked to enlist minis-
ters in helping out with sermons from their
pulpits.
Generally, Mrs. Stubbs says, the Texas
women and the six million others through-
out the nation, will stress that “Faith in
God is the foundation from which respect for
Hie rights of the individual and Democracy’s
boundless opportunities for achievement
rise
In mobilizing for this week-long stress on
a new awareness of America's heritage, the
clubs will sensor assembly programs in
the public schools and provide speakers to
stress the basic tenets of American Democ-
racy and acquaint today’s children with their
heritage.
To Mrs Stubbs’ comment*, Mrs. Florence
Johnson Scott. TWFC Ameritenism chair-
man, adds what appears to be ah excellent
summation of the Americanism Week
program. \

ax president of the 60-nation as-
sembly.
She is one of the Asia’s most
distinguished diplomats and stater
of Prime Minister Nehru.
The United States decision to
support Mrs. Pandit brought some
criticism at home, but healed the
split which developed among the
Western Allies over the proposed
participation of India in the Ko-
rean peace conference.
Irritate Wound
The Communists, however, have
indicated they might try to widen
this split hv reviving the debate
over the Korean parley and bv
pressing for immediate seating of
Red China in the U.N.
Theoretically the Korean prob-
lem was disposed of last month
when a special meeting of the As-
sembly' selected U.N. representa-
tives for the peace conference. But
Russia’s Andrei Vishinskv insist-
ed at the time that the conference
should not be a two-sided affair
and warned that the Communists
might toss tile whole, question
back to the upcoming assembly.
Opposes Reopening
The United States delegation.
proposals during the coming ses-
sion. Vishinskv hinted at this a
few weeks ago when he support-
ed a proposal to continue the work
of the U.N. Disarmament Com-
mission for another year. This
proposal said international de-
velopments were favorable to con-
tinued discussions.
President’s press secretary, on the
other hand, probably spends more
time on the golf course than her
husband. Some three years ago
she made up her mind she would
not be a “golf widow” and bought
herself a complete set of clubs.
“I spent the first year on the
practice tee," Mr*. Hagerty told
told newswomen. “I spent the sec-
ond year spraining the ligaments
in my side. I'm no expert, but I'm
enjoying myself.”
Women are barred from the
Burning Tree club, where the
President and other government
big wigs play, so Mrs. Hagerty
tees off at the cosier Columbia
course almost every morning
In addition to bridge, Bolivia,
samba, canasta, and other card
games, Washingtonians are en-
grossed in "Scrabble,” a new
word game. Mrs. Fred M. Vinson,
wife of the Chief Justice, says it
keeps her family happily occupied
for hours several nights a week
Handsome Ambassador Heurt-
ematte of Panama has a formula
for keeping sober and still being
a gracious host and guest at the
capital’s gruelling cocktail parties.
“First I always take one drink
and hold it in my hand so every-
one will think I’m a good fellow,”
he told me while picking up a gin
and tome at a recent embassy
party. “Second and most import-
ant step is NOT to drink the
drink. That way you’re always
safe."
High recognition came twice
within one week to Mrs. Jouett
Shouse,. public-spirited Washing-
ton hostess. For her work as
chairman of the General Cla.y
Fund for German Youth Activi-
ties (GYA), sponsored by the
U. S. Armed Forces in Germany,
she received the Patriotic Civilian
Service Award from Secretary of
the Army Robert T. Stevens and
the Commander’s Cross of the
Order ot Merit of the Federal Re-
public of Germany fiom Ambas-
sador Heinz Krekeler.
The GYA was an outgrowth of
American soldiers' spontaneous
aid to German children immedi-
ately after the war.

While Korea, China and dis-

before the assembly, there are
several other explosive questions

A United States complaint

Asian-Arab complaints against
