DRUM 4
over North Carolina, William &
, MR, X’S FIRST FULL YEAR ended in March of 1950—and during
that time he made 3,829 visits to 1,350 patients. The patients came
from 37 states and from more than 30 other countries, including Bar-
bados, Iraq, El Salvador, Curacao and British Guiana. These are some
of the ways he helped them—with his own money and his own time:
Made hotel reservations. Looked up train schedules. Bought shirts,
belts, underwear, drugstore items, magazines, books, cigarets and
such assorted items as a reading glass, lighter fluid, a knitting bag
and an electric razor. Put through phone calls to patient's family.
Arranged dry cleaning. Registered letters. Cashed checks. Rented a
jig-saw puzzle (they have these in Memorial but one Navy captain
was a Grade-A expert at them and he had to get extra-hard ones from
the outside world). Took out library books. Read to patients.
, MR. X NOW GIVES TO HIS HOBBY—and that's a miserable name
for such magnificent work as he does—35 or 40 hours a week. As I
said, he's got enough money so he can give that much time to it. To
a man like this, then, no financial reward ever would be payment
enough—but you don't have to think too hard about his reward. I
asked him about it and he just leaned back and smiled. "It has the
most constant reward in the world," he said. "It’s filled out my life
as it never has before.”
The Memorial hospital people told me they have 300 people who help
them voluntarily, like Mr. X although not on such a grand scale, and
they could use 300 more. Maybe in your town the hospital could stand
this kind of helping hand. It’s worth a try. Like Mr. X says—it can
give you the headiest, finest, most wonderful feeling in the world.

B%hu. " Mr. X came to my attention through a friend of
5202 I a friend. One of those things. This friend's friend
E Bh A entered Memorial hospital a few days ago to
5MMkse undergo surgery and his wife came into town from
E8MMMME% E Grand Rapids, Mich., to be with him.
E She’d hardly arrived when Mr. X got in touch
E I EM with her, announced that he was one of the volun-
Mel Heimer teer workers at the hospital—and asked if he could
help her in any way. He was nothing if not specific.
"Maybe,” he said, "I can do some shopping for you, or get you
tickets to a show. I could tell you what restaurants to eat at and, if
you don’t have the time, I can send telegrams for you, meet friends or
relatives at the train—or, in short, do anything to help your peace of
mind while your husband's in the hospital.”
A man like this has to be seen to be believed. Today I went up to
Memorial hospital, which is in the East Sixties near the East river, to
see him. He turned out to be tall and bespectacled, brisk and serious
—a man whose business is managing investments but who has enough
money, fortunately, so that he can spend most of his time, in a man-
ner of speaking, meeting all trains at Memorial.
t
, “IT STARTED BECAUSE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS I suffered
from a malady that necessitated a dozen operations and had me in
and out of hospitals," he said. "All those years, friends of mine ral-
lied around and did the little, very important things for me—sending
me wires, buying items from the store, carrying personal messages
and the like. I decided that when I got better that was what I wanted
to do—to help other patients and their families, the way I’d bcen
helped.”
Mr. X began his work at Memorial in 1947. He’d never been a
patient there but there had been "a fair amount” of cancer in Mr. X’s
family and Memorial has a big clientele among cancer sufferers. He
started in his volunteer work in the pharmacy, where he was allowed
to fill bottles, run errands and the like. "A 77-year-old great grand-
mother showed me, very carefully, how to fill bottles,” he said, smil-
ing. "She's still there, incidentally."
Gradually he got around to doing exactly what he wanted—reliev-
[ing the little cares from the minds of patients and their relatives.
