Housekeeping Will Be No Easy Task When Children's Hospital Is Completed

You think that housekeeping for little Sammy and Susie is tough? You can't get all the things you want and yet the war is over, but how would you like to keep house for 90 little Sammies and Susies to say nothing of 40 or 50 adults. Yet, this is just what the housekeepers at the South Florida Children's Hospital will be doing when the institution is completed as a result of the $500,000 building fund campaign now going on. When completed this hospital will be the finest of its kind in the Southern United States and those who do the housekeeping will be as "houseproud" as any Miami housewife is of her new bungalow. Consider, however, the difference between housekeeping in a bungalow and a 90-bed hospital. Take the matter of mops for instance. In the average home in Greater Miami there is one mop, an instrument that many ex-GI's recall as a special invention designed by sergeants to plague private 10th. In a 90-bed hospital, which is small as hospitals go, there must be a minimum of at least 36 mops. A mop last the average housewife about a year, but in a hospital, where they are in constant use during both day and night, the life is short and supply must constantly be renewed. Then in addition to the common mop, there must be oil mops, a type most sergeants never even heard of. Housekeeping equipment for a hospital costs a lot because items that ordinarily last for more than a year in a home, wear out quickly from constant use in a hospital and have to be replaced. Take the common broom. The average Miami housewife buys three per year. In a hospital you must have at least 12 as a minimum or 36 in any year. There is the question of spare light bulbs for example. In a hospital you can't get by with four spare light bulbs but an emergency lighting system. The bulbs must be handy and emergency systems must be in such condition that they are ready to function at a moments notice, for light have been known to fail at critical moments and lives have been saved by emergency systems. When it comes to soap, well here is another headache. In a home, the housewife uses about 52 cakes per year for a family of three. Required for hospital use are 1,200 cakes. Any way you look at it, this is a lot of soap, and this is just one item you have to worry about when you are taking care of 90 little children. Other items required in amounts undreamed of by housekeepers include 25 rubber aprons, a dozen or more dust pans, six whisk brooms, more than 20 scrub pails, 150 gross safety pins, 16 mop wringers and 100 vases. How many common pins do you have in your home? Well, in the sewing basket upstairs in mother's room there is a paper with about 400 in it, which she bought downtown about five years ago. Then over the sink in the kitchen is the pincushion which Uncle Harry got at the fair many years ago, and its got about four or five pins and a couple of needles in it. Turn to a hospital and you will find that the housekeeping department has to keep about 400 boxes on hand. Hospitals not only have to have these common items in great supply, but have to keep renewing their supply, for when you are housekeeping for sick folks, you can't afford to be short of any item. Nor can you count of running to the store in case something is needed. Housekeeping in a hospital in a full 24-hour job and its one that you seldom think of when you hear about the South Florida Children's Hospital. Yes, it's tough to keep house for three adults and little Joe, but its a whole lot tougher to keep house for more than 90 Joes and 30 nor 40 adults. Yes, this is what the housekeepers of the Children's Hospital will do when it is completed. They will be ready day and night to take care of little Joe and if something is needed, they will be right there with it.

Police Shelter Stray Pooches

Old dog tray can come in out of the hot sun. There's a home for him back of the Coral Gables police station. Among dogs brought in to the station house this week was a little dog reported by passersby to be foaming at the mouth at the corner of Coral Way and LeJeune. Police officers picked him up and brought him to the back of the station for further watching. Another dog, a husky bulldog, was picked up by its owner after police had taken care of him for a short time. August isn't here yet, but those old dog-days are already on for Gables police.

The Third Army was driven away in December 1944 for an all-out assault on the Siegfried Line when the 101st Airborne Division was surrounded in the Battle of the Bulge in Bastogne. Seven days later elements of the Third, having swung north, had rescued the Bastogne-trapped Americans. The Third Army went into action August 1, 1944, after the American breakthrough at St. Lo in Normandy. From then on to the end of the war, it battled across 24 major rivers and innumerable small streams and was stopped at a designated line, not by the enemy, but by an order of the Allied Supreme Command. The Third Army didn't do any fighting in World War I. It was the Army of Occupation in Germany, but in World War II it turned out to be one of the "outfightingest" armies the United States sent overseas.
