(Times Staff Photo) Public Invited “Open House "Is Planned This Friday At The Local Hospital In observance of National Hospital week, the Transyl vania Oommunity hospital will hold “Open House” this Friday, May 7th, from 10:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Under the sponsorship of the '^Hospital auxiliary, tours will be ‘ conducted of the institution during those hours. The auxiliary will also serve refreshments. Health occupation students are especially urged to tour the Hospital during the “Open House”. Jfohn W. Bailey, the adminis trator, says the theme of Hos pital week this year is “Your Hospital Cares”. There are several stories and an editorial about the observ ance in this week’s issue of The INmes. ' Concerning Hospital week, Bailey issues the following statement: “Isn’t it strange that one of the most attractive words in the language is “hospitality” and one that is less attractive is "hospital?” “Think of hospitality and you want to go and enjoy it. Hospi tality reminds us of warmth, comfort, smiles. “Think of a hospital and you want to stay away from it. Hos pital raises visions of sickness, qtedicine, sterility. - “But the root meaning of both words is the same: care— for guests. Your hospital cares. “And how does your hospital show it cares? By providing Skilled professional employees tp take care of the needs of each patient ... not only the physical and medical needs, but 4so the psychological, emo tjonal and nutritional needs. "By maintaining the most ad Yimrr*1 scientific equipment to help in delivering the pre scribed can."

They also em phasize that it only takes a few moments to give a pint of blood and that “the blood you give may save a life”. Joe Ferguson, Deputy Di rector of the Schenck Job Corps Center, was the principal speaker at this week’s meeting of the Rotary club. He was in troduced by Ted Miller, pro gram chairman, and Rev. Otis Wheelhouse, the president, pre sided over the meeting. Mr. Ferguson told of the important work that is being done at the Schenck Center.
