We Favor 'Hospital Notes'
The ruling that the Goshen General Hospital staff should withhold information from the press and public concerning patients who have entered their hospital is both inconsiderate and unprincipled. Operating under the tenuous assumption that such publication brings too many visitors to the hospital does not appeai to justify the singular ruling, We'’know of no other hospital that withholds such information from the local such institutions, rather, apjM‘ar kiger to keep the public informed. A prime concern of any community is the general health and welfare of its residents. \nd where better can this be told

Tribute To The ’Man In The White Hat'
This editorial is our tribute to the "Man in the White Hat” — former Governor Henry F. Schricker.

than a simple column of ‘‘Hospital Notes ?” When the ruling was aired in the news columns of The Goshen News last week, those who handled the daily grist of local news stood in disbelief. The News has been running a poll, and returns have shown that an overwhelming number who answered their poll has favored a continuation of “Hospital Notes” in their local newspaper. We hope the Goshen Hospital administration reconsiders its ruling and seeks another solution to its “traffic problem.” We feel the remedy they have taken is not the correct one.
