Page Two SEW IT SEAMS MAY ISSUE National Hospital Week Observed SEW IT SEAMS Published Monthly by AMVIL BRAND INCORPORATED High Point, N. C. Martha Clontz, Editor PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE— (Continued from Page One) young men and women exchange civilian clothing for official uni forms they train to become the new protectors of our most price less possessions—such as liberty, advanced standards of living, and religious freedom. In days of peace they also make sacrifices in recognizing and in responding to the nation's military needs. Indeed, in all generations, the opportunity arises for each to pay in some degree the price which free peoples must ever pay for their exceptional blessings. On this Memorial Day as we honor those who are gone, we likewise express our regard for those now in military service. Both exemplify our national tra dition of courage, loyalty and willingness to sacrifice for a righteous cause. Sincerely yours, H.C. NEW SAFETY INSPECTORS— (Continued from Page One) composed of Ossie Wright, H. T. Short and Jack Rives. Joyce Chapman spoke briefly at the meeting about supervisors’ responsibility toward safety and Kathryn Johnson explained the details of the safety inspections. Sponsors of the program, which is a nationwide project, include the Inter-Industry Safety Com mittee, National Safety Council, State Highway Patrol and the local Safety Council. Approxi mately 85 communities in North Carolina are cooperating in the program. This year, one person out of every eight will go to the hos pital. Last ■ year, the AHA reports, American hospitals cared for more than 20 million patients. This is the largest number of pa tients for any year in hospital history. IN ROTC—First Lt. Joe Par ker, son of J. W. Parker at Sher rod, completes two years of train ing at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, this Spring. He then will transfer to N. C. State College at Raleigh where he will continue his studies in industrial engineering and also his training in the Reserve Offi cers Training Corps. Car Safety Check Set Do you have two minutes to spare? Two minutes that might save your life? The last week in this month High Point Safety Council will ask every car owner to arrange his time so he can spend two minutes at one of six safety check lanes that will be set up in the city. The'se lanes will be manned by volunteer personnel who will check items affecting safe oper ating condition of vehicles, in cluding brakes, front lights, rear lights, steering, tires, exhaust system, glass, windshield wipers, rear view mirror and horn. Total checking time: approxi mately two minutes. T. A. Wilson, coordinator for the program, said committees are functioning toward making the check here successful. In addition to the free car check, prizes are to be awarded each night at the close of the day’s checking. Each motorist will be given the stub of his car’s check list and winning numbers will be drawn. A complete list of prizes will be announced at a later date. The AHA reports that there are more than 1,500,000 beds in all of the country’s hospitals. The great advance in the fields of hospital service and manage ment has ranked with the most heartening developments of mod ern times. During National Hos- p.tal Week — May 6 to 12 — a ^rsteful nation saluted its hos pitals for their many fine serv- -ces to the community. Thanks to modern hospital and medical services, the average person has a much longer and healthier life than he had even a few years ago. And when a patient does enter the hospital, his chances of recovery usually are at an all-time high. Each passing day highlights more clearly the fact that our hospitals stand as symbols of se curity for the healthy citizens of the community, as well as for those who are injured or ill. Many of us think of the hos pital, first, as the best and safest place to be when we are serious ly ill. But we are coming to realize that the hospital contri butes a great deal more to the community. For instance, the hos pital usually serves as the com munity’s health education center, where nurses and other hospital workers learn their professions, u here the young interns or resi dent specialists improve their ski Is, where the family doctor i.esps up with the latest medical developments. Also, some of medicine’s important advances during the past few decades were made possible as a result of hos pital research work. From the business standpoint, too, the hospital contributes much to the community both as a customer for large amounts of consumer gocds and a good employer. Wa appreciate the many mod ern hospital facilities waiting in readiness to serve us in times of crises. We believe that through the workings of our health in surance program we have in some way helped to effect the rapid advance of medical science by enabling our employees to par take of the available skill and science and assuring the hospital (.Cunlinucd on I’age Seveni ADVERTISING MEN AT WORK — Jack Thrift, left, and John, new Anvil Brand artist, are shown in their new offices at 317 S.
