Visits of Friends Often Endanger Hospital Patient
in War-Time
By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS
Visttors for sick people make a
whole code of rules necessary for
hospital attendants and home nurses. This code becomes increasingly important with the present diminishment of hospital personnel brought
on by the war.
Most hospitals are openly complaining against the practice of admitting unnecessary visitors, and in many instances have posted
- prohibitions against the coming of such persons into the hospitals. ~ Thoughtful friends, in their zeal ‘to show affec- {iy tion, frequently : lengthen the ~hospital-stay of the very people } to whom they wish to bring cheer. The hosital is designed help patients get well; it is no substitute for the family a ‘hearth. Dr. Masters _. Social = gatherings, too much ‘talk, confusion of drrival and. departure, gusts of the outside world, and ill-advised material “for conversation have worn sick people far beyond their limited strength. If friends want to be genuinely thoughtful, they should send a note to the patient, or a small gift—and do their’ talking to those nearest of kin to the sufferer. Taking children into the hospital renders a disservice both to the children and to the sick people they have come to see. The atmosphere of the sick-room generally depresses and frightens children, and those who remain undaunted are usually the instigators of noise and excitement—
two things most people elect to enter a hospital to avoid. The effort involved in talking and in meeting other personalities takes a heavy toll of everybody’s strength, It is often a serious burden to the sick, who need rest far more than do those in normal health. 1t therefore devolves upon the visitor to watch for signs of fatigue in the patient he is talking to. Leave-taking should be immediate, quick and matter-of-fact. A little diversion in the form of amusing chat with an old friend is fine in the latter stages of re-
: cuperation. Even that can be too
much, earlier in the illness—and the visitor should never stay through meal-taking, or treatment of any kind. It all hints fail, he should be invited to depart. Needless to say—people with colds or other communicable diseases are of inestimable harm, coming into hospitals, among people of lowered vitality and resistance. - Spreading infection is not to be encouraged at any time, much less during periods of national effort such as the present, The rules for visitors in peacetime were chiefly a code of good manners, based on cohsideration. Now the hospitals are making them binding, as formal regulations—and wisely so,

McNutt Warns That Even Vital Jobs May Not Cause Deferment.
WASHINGTON, June 15 (U. P.). —The selective service system indicated today that general drafting, of fathers would be postponed until Oct. 1, but warned that after that date fathers in “key” positions would have to justify continued deferments on the basic of occupa~tion rather than on family status. ‘The new development in the draft situation was revealed in a war manpower commission announcement that henceforth single and childless married men between 18 and 25 will have their occupational deferments limited to six months “unless the job involved is exceptionally important to the war effort and extremely difficult to fll.” This followed release of testimony yesterday before a house appropriations subcommittee which showed that selective service expected 9,200,000 men to be in the armed services by the end of this month. The goal for the end of 1943 is 10,900,000. McNutt Silent McNutt at a .press conference late yesterday declined to set a date for general drafting of fathers. Neither would he confirm Selective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey's testimony before the house committee that lowered navy physical standards might postpone the general call for fathers. The new job order announced today by WMC limits to six months after July 1 the occupational deferment of men 18 to 25 withoui children and whose employers handle their draft problem through |formal replacement schedules. “It was pointed out,” the release said, “that instructions to employers provide that ‘single men who are equally replaceable’ will be listed for release ahead of men with children and, of course, will be called for induction first. Moreover, it was stressed that the replacement schedule will list only the comparatively few ‘key men’ in essential industries, and the handling of these cases does not necessarily indicate when fathers will be called. . A “Routine Action” “WMC officials made no statement, or prediction, as to when fathers would be reached in the draft. They emphasized, on the other hand, that the change on replacement ‘schedule procedure was merely routine action to improve the operation of the system; that it had become necessary to speed up the induction of men without children and to take into account the fact that fathers would be drawn from the general pool of registrants at least by the last quarter of this year. “It was pointed out also that no directive authorizing local boards to reclassify men with children, except those in non-deferrable occupations, has yet been issued, and that none other may be drafted until such specific instructions are given.” .

ice. It added that under the schedule employers are able to plan with certainty concerning the men they would lose from ‘essential jobs and arrange, six months in advance, for their replacement. ————————— DOROTHY THOMPSON WED

Find Building Is Inspiring
By THEO WILSON
In downtown Indianapolis there's a public shrine so ‘awe-inspiring that newcomers to the city who visit it are amazed- when they see it for the first time. And theyre even more amazed when they discover that many oldtime residents have never even been inside the massive stone building which houses this beautiful room. It has been visited here by representatives of foreign countries and tourists from ‘ every state in the union. It’s a place for Indianapolis residents to visit if they're vacationing at home this summer, and many are. It’s a place included in a list of sights which relatives and wives of military ‘men stationed temporarily in the city visit in leisure hours. It is the shrine room of the Indiana World War Memorial, the impressive structure which begins 20 feet below street level and points

Elaborate Decorations
All of these fooms are elaborately decorated and beautifully designed, but it is the shrine room which is the most impressive and
interesting. Its illumination comes from 20 tall blue stained-glass windows and a crystal “star of destiny.” The entire room is shrouded’ in a cath-edral-like hush and is dominated by a giant “altar of consecration,” guarded by four marble eagles under a huge American flag. Brilliant enamel work decorates the altar top, including the American golden eagle, the U. S. shield, palms of victory, the wreath of memory, and the pledge of allegiance written in blood-red letters on a broad golden ribbon. Inscriptions are cut into the sides of the altar and at each corner are four tall marble and gold tripods. Visitors Decrease

Because of ‘the gas. rationing, visitors have decreased in number during the winter and spring, according to Frank H. Henley, executive secretary. He is a veteran of thé Spanish-American war and world war I. Soldiers, he says, make up a large portion of the visitors who come to the memorial now, and more out-of-city Hoosiers visit the building than Indianapolis residents, On week-ends and holidays there are between 300 and 400 sightseers. During May they included visitors from Syria, France, Scotland, Australia, England and
