City Hospital. o 8 8 4 FEW OUTSIDE AGENCIES know about the Children’s Ward (ages four to twelve). Or its companion, upstairs, the Infants’ Ward (infancy to three) where there are 30 more white iron beds. They're almost the forgotten wards — forgotten except for 60 women. Those 60 women are the members of the St. Margaret's Guild, who with the help of the Indianapolis Foundation, support occupational therapy work for children, and adults as well, at City. You might have noticed that the Guild is giving its annual dance Saturday night. It’s not just a dance, though. It's for the occupants of those white iron beds.

» # 2 ‘ CHILDREN, THEY SAY, are hard

‘Ito handle anytime. But what about

children in hospital beds, spending their days in one room? Long days. Pain. Cramped positions. Enough to make a grown person weary of it. - But the Guld, with the doctors, nurses and therapists, is helping conquer long days and waiting. The big thing in Children’s Ward is “Occupational Therapy.” Two long words. too long for little fellows to say or understand, But it means something to them. Occupational Therapy is doing things with your hands. Building something. Making baskets out of reeds, beautiful, graceful baskets that bring a twinkle of pride into little eyes. Between naps, meals and medical care, a trained therapist brings the work to the youngsters’ beds. There they lie, their hands cheerfully happy, as they look above at paintings of healthy, happy children— the works of famous artists like Wayman Adams, who now paints portraits bringing as much as $3000. 2 8 =

THEY CAN LOOK out past the door into the little schoolroom just off the entrance. Here, each morning, come the children who are able, to keep up with their three R’s so that when they leave Children’s Ward, City Hospital, they’ll be right in step with their playmates. Out at the far end of the room is

a sunroom. Here at small tables the

improved children are fed: or helped with their occupational ‘therapy work. There is even a tricycle or two for the more active ones. Out past the sunroom is a kind of roof garden where the children go when the weather is nice, In summer, the ones who are able can go to the little playground down= stairs. But it’s winter now and everyone is indoors, little hands and little minds working all the time,

THE AVERAGE CASE in Chil dren’s Ward takes about two weeks’ care and then the child goes home. Mind you, these cases have no relation to the youngsters, who come to the out-patient ward each day, 30 and 40 strong, for limited treatment. But while two weeks is the ave erage case, there are children who are there for months, Take Jean, the 4-year-old with the rheumatic heart, Jean came to Children’s Ward last June. There, for weeks, she was treated. Improving, she was taken home, Now she's back in her little white bed at the hospital. And beck weaving on her tiny loom. 2 2 = --WHAT DOES THE GUILD DO? Well, it raises $10,000 to $15,000 each year. The money buys occupation= al therapy equipment; pays the salaries «of five therapists, buys,some furnishings, clothing, pajamas, toothbrushes, etc. The funds also go for occupational therapy work among adult patients in other parts of the hospital. ; They'd like to get so many things. But dollars don’t grow on ‘trees, you know. They’d like a phonograph, for ine stance. The old one is in pretty bad shape now. : ’ : And the doctors and internes and nurses hope to see the day when each little bed will set in its own glass cubicle—to cut down noise, chance of contagion, etc. * And they'd probably like to buy some new beds, too. And a lot of other things. No, it’s not just a dance. It’s really Children’s Ward, City Hospital. :
