  The center hospital is
facing an increasing danger
as the residents continue
their tremendous demand for
medical and surgical at-
tention, states Dr. William
Carstarphen, chief medical
officer, this week. It
was pointed out before
that luxury hospital ser-
vice cannot be furnished
with our present depleated
staff, and if there is no
marked decrease, it will
result in a continued loss
of hospital  personnel.
   In this connection,warns
Dr. Carstarphen, attention
is called to the glaring
fact that center population
has dropped 8 per cent from
last year’s census, and
yet, the work for the hos-
pital has increased nearly
80 per cent in the past
several months. On the
other hand, there has been
an alarming decrease of
hospital workers and per-
sonnel.
   Our function here is to
serve the public legitimate-
ly, but if the center resi-
dents continue to overload
our medical staff with e-
lective work and personal
favors, it will result in
serious consequences, added
Dr. Carstarphen. And if
there is no let-down, re-
sidents themselves will be
forced to help combat this
problem.
   Therefore, advises Dr.
Carstarphen, the residents
must realize the services
are entirely free and fur-
nished by government funds.
There are no charges made
for medical,laboratory and
X-ray services as well as
for the drugs or pharmaceu-
ticals prescribed by the
doctors. This includes
special nursing care and
any attention given to ex-
tra-ordinary cases such as
special diets .
   Free services of this
type will naturally be a-
bused by some thoughtless
people, but I am sure the
majority will show its ap-
preciation and co-operation
by not purposely abusing
the regulations, Dr. Car-
starphen concluded.
CENTER  LABOR  SHORTAGE  ACUTE, 130  JOBS  OPEN
  Relocation, pre-induction physical orders and in-
Duction notices have taken a terrific toll of evacuee
workers, states Walter Moers, personnel officer, and
in many cases  have  left departments   "behind the   8-ball."
A rough estimate reveals
that there are nearly 130
jobs open and if this la-
bor shortage continues un-
interrupted, the employ-
ment office will be com-
pelled to put on a juggling
act to place workers where
they are most qualified
and  needed.
   Following jobs are listed
by the  employment   office:
   3 fire station opera-
tors, 15 carpenters, 5
plumbers , 1 welder, 7 clerks,
3 secretaries, 4 hog farm
workers, 10 farm workers,
2 cattle hands, 4 service
station attendants, 3 grease
rack employees, 1 assist-
ant librarian, 15 tractor
and auto mechanics , 10
swampers,30 nurses' aides,
10 orderlies, 2 outside
window washers, 1 steno-
grapher and   1  receptionist.
