WOODSTOCK, McHENRY COUNTY, ILLINOIS, MONDAY, JULY 28, 1947. THREE CENTS PER COPY HOSPITAL IS RATED HIGH G.I. BOND BILL BECOMES LAW ON SIGNATURE President Signed Saturday WASHINGTON, July Truman Saturday signed a bill veterans to cash mitting some about $1,800,000,000 in terminal leave bonds if they wish any time after Sept. 1. "I wish to emphasizo strongly that it is to the veterans' best terest that they keep their bonds if they do not absolutely need to cash them now," his statement said.

Might Boost Inflation. "Almost $2,000,000,000 of bonds are outstanding. If a sizable proportion of these bonds should be redeemed in the near future, general inflationary pressures, which we have been endeavoring to control, which receive a substantial boost. Several hundred million dollars poured into the spending stream would exert a strong upward pressure on prices. "If, on the other hand, veterars choose the wise course, hold their bonds and continue to draw per cent interest, their dollars will buy more when they cash their bonds after inflationary conditions have eased." Unoppoesd in Congress.

The administration had opposed the bill for cashing the bonds; Secretary of the Treasury Snyder testified against it. But the House and Senate passed the measure without a dissent-! ing vote, and Mr. Truman signed it just before he left for Grandview, Mo. Mr. Truman noted that the Treasury department is making arrangements with banks and other financial institutions for cashing the bonds in local communities without cost to veterans.

Act to Thwart Loan Sharks. A Treasury official said yester-! day that banks would be instructed to require positive identification of those cashing the bonds to prevent any money going to "sharks" who have purchased the bonds at a discount. A number of complaints have been heard that, although the bonds by law are not transferable, some persons bought up bonds from needy veterans for as little as 50 cents on the dollar. The bonds were issued to some 9,000,000 veterans to compensate for earned but unusde leave time as members of the armed forces. They were to mature five years after the date of a veteran's discharge.

LITERS LOST TO OAK PARK IN TOURNEY Victors Win State Meet Woodstock's Auto-Liters made a gallant bid for state honors at Elgin Saturday but lost a tough one to Oak Park by a score of 6 to 5.

The defeat sent the Liters into the consolation against Decatur Sunday and the result was another defeat, 9 to 4. Tough breaks eliminated the Liters on Saturday. Phil Rothelsberger of Joliet took the mound for the Woods crew and sailed along in swell shape until the seventh inning. The Liters scored in the first and Oak Park tied it in the fourth on a homer by Dawson. The game stood one to one at the seventh.

In the seventh with three men on base and one out, Rothlesberger booted an easy roller and then threw late to force the man at home. The result was two runs scored. Before the inning ended Oak Park had scored four times and were in front, 5 to 1. Stage Big Rally The Liters, favorites with the fans, came back strong and shoved over four runs in the eighth to tie the score again. In the ninth Oak Park scored the winning run.

Oak Park had dominated play in the tournament up until this game, They had walloped Sycamore and Aurora by big scores. In fact they went on Sunday afternoon to win the title by defeating Murphysboro by a score of 9 to 2. Woodstock gave them the only close game and a break or two in favor of the Liters would have changed the result. It was a fine tournament. Manager Bob Woods feels as if he had as good a team as Oak Park, but its the same old story, breaks win.

Sunday the Liters had little of the old fight left. Blanken, Rothlesberger and Mavis worked on the mound. The first two were tired from previous games and Decatur moved into an early lead. Mavis did well in late innings. Boxlietner was the losing pitcher in the Saturday game.

He relieved Rothlesberger in the eighth after the Joliet lad seemed to have tired. This coming week-end the Liters travel to Zion on Saturday and play the Colored Rexes of North Chicago here Sunday afternoon. Mrs. John Conerty Tells W. S.

AKUUND THE SQUAKE by LEUNA DECAULA I Have a Lady Doctor A little girl was coming down our street the other day, holding up her mother's long dress, and clacking her high heels at top speed--they make a better noise that" way. I looked thoughtfully after her remembering when I used to play lady, and wondering if I and millions of other women aren't still playing lady, at least some of the time. During the Dr. I.

Q. radio program the assistant says, "I have a lady, Doctor." Can your family and friends say the same for you? You know it's not as simple as donning high heels and a long skirt. A lady does not carry idle gossip--because no gossip is idle-it's busier than an eight party line with six listening in. If you wish to be one, don't always watch your neighbor's behaviour, busily putting two and two together--it will usually come out six any way, and besides you're just acquiring mental B. 0.

If your husband brings that guy you can't stand, home to dinner, and you have only two pork chops (You only had a dollar left) and you don't create a scene behind the scenesyou're the real McCoy. If hubby says his mother can cook better than you can--remember that if it wasn't for your mother-in-law you'd still be an old maid. They say that the Colonel's Lady and Judy O' Grady are sisters under the skin. That's probably when they remove their pancake make-up. Sometimes I don't think they're sisters or even sixth cousins, in many instances, Judy is 'way out in front in the thoroughbred class.

Often the "Colonel's Ladies" can dream up some super forms of social cruelty, they just sheath their claws in finer gloves. If your best friend says, "Aren't you putting on a little weight, and you think, "You're looking a little more like an old crow every day -A-A-! You're just playing lady again, and you'll wind up in class in personality. If an old person holds up the line ahead of you, even if your time is up on the parking meter, try to realize that the dearness and under standing acquired only by long living, quite outshadows the slight retarding of his movements. If you can put aside your own feelings for the common good of family or community, if you think something good about any one and don't keep it a deep dark tell them, and now- -You have the formula. If the woman in your family has half of these qualities and is at least trying for the others, you can truly say, "I have a lady, Doctor." P.

S. I think there are only two times when it is permissible to forget that you're a lady, when no holds should be red. First, when the man to whom you've signed away your life. says, "What are you tired for, all you do is that little bit of house Second, when after you've struggled all morning with breakfast, picnic lunch, and bathed and dressed two or three children, the man of the house sits out in the car and calls in a lordly manner, "C'mon. what's holding you up?" SURVEY SHOWS PATIENTS WANT NEW ADDITION Would Be Of Much Value HALL OF FAME Don Black, right-handed hurler for the Cleveland Indians, pitched the first noball game of the 1947 American league season when he set down his former teammates, the Philadelphia Athletics, 3 to 0.

Eighty-seven per cent of former patients of Woodstock Public Hospital answering a patient opinion survey think that an addition to Woodstock Public Hospital would be of value to the area, according to an announcement made today by Don A. Wicks, member of the hospital's Board of Advisors. Wicks is also general co-chairman of the campaign to raise $500,000 to construct and equip an enlargement to the hospital. The study was made by direct mail questionnaires to a cross-section of former patients of the hospital, both inside the city of Woodstock and in the remainder of McHenry County. Purpose of the study, Wicks stated, was to determine the thinking of mer patients about the Woodstock Public Hospital -its service and equipment -and about the need for more medical facilities in the area.

Three hundred questionnaires were mailed to patients, who were hospitalized during the years 1940, 1943 and 1947, Wicks said. "Opinions of persons hospitalized in these years should represent the attitude of patients toward Woodstock Public Hospital before the war, during the war, and today," he added. This year's patients answering the questionnaire agreed 100 per cent that Woodstock needed a new addition. 'This is understandable," Wicks commented, "as they have had an opportunity to witness first hand the crowded conditions and the need for additional facilities today." That these crowded conditions did not affect the treatment of patients by the nurses and the non-professional staff or the food service of the hospital was revealed in the answers to other questions by the patients," Wicks continued. "Sixty-six per cent of the patients this year thought that the treatment received from trained nurses in Woodstock Public Hospital was excellent." The personal attitude of non-professional people-maids, porters, orderlies, the hospital was judged "pleasant" by more than 45 per cent of the patients and "all right" by 54 per cent.

The quality of food and food service, an important factor in the treatment of any patient, commented Wicks, was also rated as excellent by a majority of the 1947 patients, both from inside Woodstock and in the surrounding area. Of those queried, 92 per cent stated that they had received enough food to satisfy appetites."
