By I A A A II you fall prey lo the Monday blues and hale to get at tliat load dirty laundry, then consider (he plight of Mrs. Irene Wise McClain. Mrs. McClain is linen stewardess at Western Maryland State Hospital here. Every day, she's responsible for 2.000 pounds of soiled linens.

It's her job to see that this gigantic heap of bed clothes, uniforms and aprons is sorted, counted, laundered, recounted and returned, starched as a daisy, to its rightful place. What's more, she's been at this sort of work more years than most of us care to remember. Last month, Mrs. McClain was presented a lianflsome certificate by Maryland's Governor i a I'd Tawes in "appreciation of for- ly years of faithful service to tbe people of Maryland." Only 53 years old, Mrs. McClain lias worked for forly years (it'll be 41 years next October) in just two Maryland state hospitals.

Slie began her long career, which she doesn't plan to end for some time yet, at Victor Cullen Slate Hospital. She has been at Western Maryland since it opened on November 6, 1957. An attractive, well spoken woman with a warm personality, Mrs. McClain is quick to point out that Maryland had no labor laws back in '23 when she started to work at the age of 13. "If you were big enough to do the job, you were old enough," she laughingly commented in a recent interview.

She began her job as a service worker at Victor Cullen on a temporary basis, soon was hired full time. Working conditions were pretty tough in those days, and Mrs. McClain recalls a her first salary amounted to just $27 a month. She worked G'i clays every week (with no holidays) and often bad to wait several months for pay day. Just the same, she's completely sold on state employment.

"Where else," she asks, "could a girl with no education find a job lhat offers good pay and opportunities advancement? a stale hospital employes work only five days a week, get paid holidays, and 30 days sick leave. It's a good job." Mrs. McClain, who remains in the Cascade community where she was born and rais ed, began her work at Victo Cullen when it maintained it 550-patient capacity. She fo lows in her late mother's foot steps, who also was a slat hospital employe and record ed 36 years continuous scr vice at Cullen. During her last seven year at the Sabillasville institution Mrs.

McClain was assistan housekeeper. However, dis corning the trend that even tually will close the Cullen plant, she asked to be trans ferred lo Ihe new hospital here and began her present duties. Besides seeing that the hospital linens are kept clean, Irene McClain also must see that they are mended and re placed when too worn for repair. She prepares orders for new linens and uniforms with the hospital housekeeper, Mrs. Helen Dunham.

With four girls working under her, the linen stewardess, sorts soiled linen and sends it to the laundry at Maryland Institution lor Men every other day. On the odd days, the clean linen is sorted, counted and replaced to the floors. Western Maryland has a 300- bcd capacity; presently has about 225 patients. Uniforms are provided for around 150 employes. Irene McClain is so devotee to stale hospitals that even found her husband in one.

Raymond McClain also is employed at Western Mary land, but has worked in al most all of Maryland's slate hospitals.
