Total patient days totalled 13,300, for an average of 36.44 patients per day in 1958. This is about the same level as in the past. The recent completion of the new addition has pushed forward the admission lists, however, and at one time the' hospital had 56 patients, which, without the new facilities would have meant at least eight patients in the halls. V The number of outpatients, those who seek medical, technical, x-ray or lab care at the hospital, without admission as fulltime bed patients, has risen to 3,023, as compared with 2,052 in-patients. A total of 75 adults and 11 babies, including four stillborhs, died at the hospital in 1958. Considering the J large number of patients treated, and the seriousness of their ills, this is a remarkable record. There were 23 premature births, 319 boys born, and 332 girls, for a total of 651. Six sets of twins were born. ... Minor surgeries averaged one a day, 365, and major surgeries totalled 257. There Were 30 Caesarian sections performed. Monthly deposits ranged from a low of $21,474.85 in September to a high of $29,250.74 in July. Salaries ranged from $17,249.39 last January to $15,240.30 in December. Other expenses were highest in October, $9,244.05, and lowest in December, $6,623.66. Labor costs amounted to almost two-thirds of the cost of running the hospital—sl93,l63.9o out of $293,722.56. A real profit of $3,215.96 was shown for the year, and in addition $4,549.28 was received from tax distributions. Cal E. Peterson, president of the board, reported that 1958 was a very successful year at the Adams county memorial hospital, and the figures and statistics bear this out. The new year will see the county ready for nearly any emergency at the local hospital, with rooms as modern and as reasonably priced as can be obtained in any modern hospital in this area. The entire staff of the hospital is to be complimented for the busi-ness-like management. In fact, the auditors from the state board of accounts, while they disagreed with some of the details of bookwork at the hospital, admitted that for a small hospital it had the most complete books and records of any in his part of the state. The entire report of the hospital will be printed in tomorrow’s Democrat, so those that wish to assess it for themselves may do so. * * * ♦ f-7 ; Jefferson-Jackson Day ,W. Stuart Symington, Democratic senator from Missouri, will address the Democrats of Indiana at a Valentine’s day celebration of the birthdays of the two great presidents of the Democratic party, Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. A large group from Adams county is expected to drive to Indianapolis for the banquet, and politicians from all parts of the state can be expected to.exchange views and ideas at this popular dinner.

ALL AROUND YOU is a group of Hoosiers who pay a special tax bill of $1,437,923 a week Who are they? They’re the truck owners of Indiqpa. Their tax bill, both state and federal, is $74,772,000 a year — and this figure covers only the special taxes taken by the state and federal governments for the use of highways. The truck owners, like everyone else, also pay other taxes — Unknown millions of dollars every year • on their income and on their property, for instance. zzzzz Out of this special tax bill on trucks, the Indiana government and its local subdivisions receive $44,458,000 for highways. The share of the federal government has now risen to more than $30,314,000 a year. These special assessments on Indiana trucks are, of course, the highest in history (the last increase was by the Indiana legislature in 1957 when the 4-cent gas tax was increased to 6 cents a gallon). And they are the highest in history on each individual truck, too. ■ Nowadays it is commonly said that everyone who uses the highways buys his right to do so. The price tag for the truck owners of Indiana has now reached $1,437,923 a week! . J . - IIndiana Motor Truck Association, Inc. Tho Stato't Organized Trucking Muifry 2905 N.
