People Think Dear Editor: During my stay here in Lehi, I have been confined to your hospital hos-pital on three different occasions. Each time I noticed conditions which have been long deplored but little done about. Because I know that a town's newspaper expresses the trend of the thinking of the town's people, I am sending you an article written subsequent to my return home, with the hope that if you do not publish it, that Week-End Drug SPECIALS Plenamins Vitamins $4.79 72 Polycaps Vitamins for children $1.98 14 oz.

That is, or excessive noise, especially after nine o'clock in the evening. These conditions are hard to do much about, I will admit but they are not completely impossible, if everyone would respect re-spect a very simple rule to be quiet around a hospital. You know what people like to hear and read about. You know also that they don't like to know about their own faults or indifferences indif-ferences to certain problems. But you stressed a beautification program, pro-gram, not long ago thatI most heartily was in accord with. I hope it was successful in the nth degree and that next year will bring about another similar campaign. Lethargy and indifference have massed over a good many of Lehi's possibilities. In fact, I hear that there are certain forces in Lehi who are trying to eliminate the hospital altogether. In the event ... i T" 1 11 Anis nappens, American rom win I have a brand new hospital. It has a good many other advantages over Lehi already, and I think it would be too bad if Lehi lets this happen. Since I read everything that falls into my hands) because there isn't much else for me to do as I am still an invalid, I read your papers with ever growing interest every week. I've only been here seven months but I know a great deal about Lehi already and hope to make it a permanent residence. Quiet Please! Hospital The Lehi Hospital is an unimpressive unim-pressive building, unfortunately lo cated on a busy highway, paralleled and crossed by railroad tracks. Be-gining Be-gining in the wee hours of the morning, automobiles, busses, and trucks of various sizes roll down I wish to thank the people of Lehi, Fairfield, and Cedar Fort, for the support you have given me while I have been on the Alpine School Board. I have tried to serve you to the best of my ability during this War period. And I pledge to you my support, if I am elected again. v A Yours very respectfully, Thomas Powers .X" the street, some leisurely, and Borne with excessive speed, the more impatient im-patient of them accompanying their progress with honking horns and squeaking ' brakes. There are also locomotives laboriously hauling cargo along the railroad tracks and swift passenger trains speeding through at a pace, loudly heralded by chugs and shrill toots on their whistles. While none of these sounds are pleasant and conducive to a good night's sleep, whether a person is ill or healthy, and the vibrations of a patient's bed beneath him from a transport truck or express train thundering through, is extremely unpleasant, still the world of commerce com-merce and business traffic cannot be asked to stand still, because a few people's bodies have become instruments of torture and are confined con-fined in a badly situated hospital. No, these are necessary noises and little can be done about them. However, the least one can do in (these circumstances is to eliminate the unnecessary noises and confusion confu-sion around the hospital. And there is much of the latter. Between nine in the evening and midnight, most anything is likely to happen. This is the period during which the hospital has settled down to sleep. Children, on more than one occasion, have chosen the hospital site for an exuberant game of "tag," "Hide and Seek", or "Captain, "Cap-tain, may I," with utter disregard of the meaning this building should hold for them. A hospital is never a playground. It is a battleground, where doctors and nurses fight disease and death, usher life into, the world and seek to sustain it. It deserves respect from young and old, from the rare specimen of health and cast iron nerves to the average citizen whose salvation it may have been or will some day be. But children are not the offenders. of-fenders. It is their Darents who err when they do not instill in their otispring the doctrines of consideration con-sideration and reverence for medi cal institutions. The teen asters. and adults too, are guilty. They parK tneir cars near the hospital and then, too engrossed in themselves them-selves and their fun to realize that they might be creating havoc where peace once reigned, proceed to shriek with hysterical laughtef, honk at one another from individual cars, making ribald comments until un-til one or the other gives up, or-another or-another idiatic form of expressing ones self turn on the cut-off mo tor in one of the jalopies and race it until the patients want to get up and bang their heads aeainst the walls of their rooms. It is no laughing matter to have, these various screams and shouts pierce the cloud of sedative that has managed man-aged to obliterate consciousness to be unnecessarily jerked back from restful oblivion to restless wakefulness until dawn. And it is so unnecessary. These are only two instances. Two examples of Lehi's indifference indiffer-ence to an institution which, in any case or location, should have co- operation and respect. Most patients when receiving vice from their doctors, get this - ..ii., nf rest and quiet." They are often removed to hospitals where they nave expetation of getting just that. In the case of the Lehi hospital, let s modify the prescription, and give it to the citizens ol lm w for the hospital itself. "Quiet, Please Hospital" ED. NOTE!
