I ran upon a good thought

the current; it simply provides
a channel through which the
electric current may flow.”

Careers For Your Child
There are openings in public
service for virtually every
$ort of talent and training
known to man. No matter
what your interest, you can
probably pursue it in a public
service job which is stimula-
ting/ exciting, and, in a high
sense, rewarding.
Too many people believe a career in public serv-
ice means dull routine ... no individual opportu-
nity. But there's nothing dull about fighting to halt
an epidemic .. . keeping impoverished families
together .. . planning a housing development
to replace slums. —
Whether you're interested in
elective, appointed or permanent
post—training should include pub-
lic administration, government and
history. Debating and writing for
school publications is helpful.

Hospitals Need Public Support
American hospitals can look to 1960 as possibly the greatest
growth year in a decade, predicts Raleigh L. Smith, president of
The American Association of Fund-Raising Counsel, Inc.
'On the basis of reports for •
the first quarter, he forecast
expenditures of $675,000,000 for
hospital construction in 1960
compared with a previous re-
cord of $600,000,000 in 1958.
He estimated $300,000,000 of
total construction costs in 1960
may be expected to come from
private sources.
“If the present pace of pub-
lic support continues,” he said,
“we can reasonably expect our
hospitals to meet current and
future needs if Federal aid is
not curtailed.”
The AAFRC is a non-profit ,
organization- ■ of 31 major na-
tional fund raising: firms spec-
ializing in counseling, organiz-
ing, and directing fund-raising j
activities in the U.S. and Cana-
da. Its members adhere to a
strict code of ethics.
Smith, president of Will,
Folsom & Smith, New York
fund raising firm, said, “the
outstanding increase in hospital
construction conies at; a time
when the average daily census
is at a high of 1,323,000.
“The number of 'beds per
thousand of population have in-
creased by three per cent dur-
ing the past 10 years,” Smith
said. “Meanwhile,” he said, “the
record shows a 28 per cent in-
crease over the same period
last year alone. in short term
voluntary admissions per thou-
sand of population.” Current
Raleigh L. Smith
estimates show $500,000,000 or
more a year will be needed for
the next 20 years to meet grow-
ing needs.
Smith said, “more than 850,-
000 new hospital beds are
needed, if we have maximum
service. This does not include
replacement and modernization
of outdated facilities. “New
techniques and developments in
medical care occur daily*
said, “and many require con-
struction of new facilities and
expansion of old ones. To meet
these needs locally and nation-
ally the public must be in-
formed and willing to continue
the necessary support.”
