THE BEACON LIGHT

Chaplain's Corner BY REVEREND RICHARD TETZLOFF

LORD NOT MY WILL BUT THINE REV. TETZLOFF

THERE IS AN OLD CHINESE FABLE ABOUT A MAN AND HIS SON.

ONE DAY THE SON HAPPENED TO FIND A STRAY HORSE AND BROUGHT

THE HORSE HOME . THE NEIGHBORS SAID TO THEM , "MR HOW FOR-

TUNATE YOU ARE TO HAVE THIS HORSE TO HELP YOU ON YOUR WORK ."

THE MAN REPLIED , " HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT IT IS GOOD FORTUNE ."

A SHORT WHILE LATER . WHILE RIDING THE HORSE THE SON BROKE

HIS LEG . THE NEIGHBORS CAME AND SAID TO THE MAN , " HOW

UNFORTUNATE THAT YOUR SON BROKE HIS LEG." THE MAN RES-

PONDED , " HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT IT IS UNFORTUNATE?" SHORTLY

AFTER THAT A WAR BROKE OUT , AND THE SON , BECAUSE OF HIS

BROKEN LEG, DID NOT HAVE TO GO OFF TO WAR , AND SO THE STORY

GOES.

THERE IS A MORAL TO THE STORY IN THAT OUR HUMAN PER-

SPECTIVE OF EVENTS AND CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES MAY NOT

ALWAYS BE ACCURATE. SOMETHINGS MAY BE SEEN BY US AS BEING

BAD AT FIRST BUT LATER PROVE TO HAVE SOME REAL REDEMPTIVE

VALUE OR TO BE AN EXPERIENCE THAT BRINGS ABOUT GROWTH FOR

US.

I'M REMINDED OF THE STORY OF JOSEPH IN THE OLD TESTA-

MENT OF HOW HIS BROTHERS , IN HATE AND SPITE , SOLD HIM INTO

SLAVERY AND YET THAT VERY ACT TURNED OUT TO BE THEIR VERY

SALVATION . JOSEPH SAID: "YOU THOUGHT IT EVIL TOWARDS ME , BUT

GOD INTENDED IT AS GOOD ." WHEN WE VIEW LIFE , SUCH THINGS AS

ILLNESS AND MISFORTUNE , TO NAME ONLY A COUPLE , ARE NEVER

PLEASANT EXPERIENCES , BUT HOW DO WE KNOW THEIR REAL VALUE .

COULD THEY NOT ALSO BE OPPORTUNITIES FOR GOD TO SHOW HIS

POWER , HIS LOVE AND HIS MERCY. PERHAPS OUR PRAYERS SHOULD

BE DIRECTED MORE TOWARDS ASKING GOD FOR INSIGHT AND STRENGTH

TO GRAPPLE WITH THE SITUATION 'RATHER THAN TO ASK GOD TO

REMOVE THE " CROSS" FROM US . MAYBE THINGS WOULDN'T BE

QUITE SO BAD IF WE WOULD ASK TO t-(ECEIVE FROM GOD THE WISDOM

TO DISCERN WHAT IS GOOD IN EACH SITUATION.

REMEMBERING WHAT PAUL SAYS IN ROMANS 8 28, "KNOWING

THAT IN ALL THINGS, GOD WORKS FOR GOOD WITH THOSE WHO LOVE

HIM , THOSE WHOM HE HAS CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE ."

SEVERAL YEARS AGO, THOROUGH STUDY AND IN-

DEPTH DISCUSSION OF THE ROLE OF THE SISTERS OF THE

ORDER OF ST . BENEDICT IN THE OPERATION OF ST . CLOUD

HOSPITAL RESULTED IN A NEW UNDERSTANDING OF THE

VITAL CONTRIBUTION MADE BY THE ORDER IN THE SER-

VICE OF THE SICK. AND WHILE THERE WERE SURELY

SOME WHO HAD A CLEAR VISION OF THIS ROLE , TO

MANY OF US IT WAS CLOUDED BY PRECONCEPTIONS AND

MISUNDERSTANDINGS. EVEN THOUGH WE AGREED THAT

THE SISTERS OF ST . BENEDICT WERE SPONSORS OF THE

HOSPITAL , AND NOT THE LEGAL OWNERS , WE DID NOT

HAVE A VERY CLEAR CONCEPT OF JUST WHAT THIS SPON-

SORSHIP REALLY MEANT.

IN THE YEARS SINCE THOSE DISCUSSIONS TOOK

PLACE , WE HAVE COME TO UNDERSTAND , WITH IN-

CREASING CLARITY, THE MEANING OF SPONSORSHIP;

AND TO RECOGNIZE, WITH INCREASING APPRECIATION,

ABORTION:The SCH View EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE ST. CLOUD HOSPITAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES UNANIMOUSLY PASSED

A FORMAL RESOLUTION ON THE SUBJECT OF ABORTION, AND AUTHORIZED THE CHIEF EXECU-

TIVE OFFICER TO APPROPRIATELY PROMULGATE THE POSITION OF THE HOSPITAL. ON THE

FOLLOWING PAGES, GENE S. BAKKE, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, ANSWERS A SERIES OF

QUESTIONS ON THE SUBJECT AS POSED BY BEACON LIGHT EDITOR SAM WENSTROM.

Q. MR. BAKKE, WHAT PRECISELY DID OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES SAY WHEN THEY PASSED A RESOLUTION OP-POSING A LOOSENING OF ABORTION LAWS IN MINNESOTA?

A. The Board indicated its unqualified support of the Statement on Abortion of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (printed on page 10) adopted in April. In addition, the Board called attention to the fact that abortion is in direct conflict and diametrically opposed to the basic purposes of the hospital --to protect, safeguard, and enhance human life at every stage of development, right up to the moment of death.

Q. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME OUR TRUS-TEES HAVE MADE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE. DOES THAT MEAN THAT THIS IS A NEW POSITION FOR ST. CLOUD HOSPITAL?

A. This is not anew position for the hospital to take. St. Cloud Hospital has always held to this position. However, it was becoming evident that the Board needed to restate its position and to make that position known as widely as possible in order to focus attention on the grave consequences inherent in liberalizing the law on abortion.

Q. WHY DID THE BOARD'SACTION COME AT THIS TIME?

A. Because abortion is a matter of law, it is, consequently, a subject of legislative concern. The state legislature will meet again in 1971, and there is little doubt that the abortion subject will be con-sidered. The Board wished to make the hospital's position known in an appropriate way in the interest of protecting and safeguarding human life.

Q. HOW ABOUT OTHER STATE LEGIS-LATURES? IS THERE PRESSURE FOR

Page 4

ABORTION LAW REFORM ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY?

A. I don't think there is any doubt that there is an organized effort nationally to liber-alize abortion laws. Bills that would liberalize abortion have been introduced in 29 state legislatures. But I would hasten to point out that the word "reform" is, in my view, totally inappropriate. Reform suggests an improved con-dition. In the context of the abortion question, what is being promoted is a devaluation and downgrading of the value of life for the sake of comfort and con-venience. It is clearly an appeal to our most base materialistic and selfish instincts. To use the word "reform" in the context of liberalizing abortion laws is, in my judgment, an attempt to mislead those people who will not take the time to study the issue in depth into believing that this would be an improvement.

Q. HOW ABOUT CONGRESS ESTABLISHING A NATIONAL POLICY?

A. I doubt verymuch of Congress will seri-ously deal with the question of liberaliz-ing abortion as a national policy, even though such a bill was introduced in the Senate this past year. Historically, this has been a matter left to the states. On the other hand, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case that deals with the question of abortion. A ruling by the Supreme Court, whatever that ruling might be, would have tremendous impact on this whole question.

Q. IS THERE ANY ACCURATE OR RELIA-BLE INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON THE NUMBER OF ABORTIONS, BOTH LEGAL AND ILLEGAL, PERFORMED IN THIS COUNTRY EACH YEAR?

A. Information on the number of abortions St. Cloud Hospital

is not very accurate. Estimates have been made indicating that from 200, 000 to 1. 2 million are performed annually in the United States.

Q. HOW ABOUT DEATHS RESULTING FROM ABORTIONS?

A. Deaths of the mother r e s ul tin g from abortion are,generally considered high on the basis of a number of studies that have been conducted at Cook County Hospital, Chicago, in Calif ornia, and in other places.

Q. BOTH COLORADO AND NEW YORK, PROBABLY THE MOST NOTABLE AMONG MANY STATES WITH REVISED LAWS, RECENTLY MADE DRAMATIC CHANGES REGARDING ABORTIONS. HAS THIS LED TO AN INFLUX OF WOMEN GOING TO THESE AND OTHER STATES FOR THIS PROCEDURE?

A. This apparently has happened and has, incidentally, raised some grave ques-tions, most notably in New York. Recent-ly an abortion was performed there which produced alive baby who lived for fifteen hours in spite of the attempt to destroy the child by abortion.

Q. IS THIS ISSUE STRICTLY ONE OF RELIGION?

A. Certainly religious groups have typically shown enlightened leaders hip in em-phasizing the sacred value of human life and have usually acted strongly to protect the particular rights of the human person, as compared to animal or plant life. This concern for the human person

EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT GENE S . BAKKE AND SAM WENSTROM DURING INTERVIEW ON THE ABORTION ISSUE •

The Beacon Light

usually has deep roots in religious beliefs. However, even from a strictly human standpoint, it would seem that the indiscriminate termination of human life would be a matter of very grave concern and a procedure that would be totally unacceptable. THE MINNESOTA CITIZENS CON-CERNED FOR LIFE ORGANIZATION MAINTAINS THAT THE CENTRAL ISSUE IS WHETHER OR NOT THE LAW SHOULD SANCTION THE DESTRUCTION OF INNOCENT HUMAN L I FE. DO YOU AGREE? Yes. WHEN, IN YOUR VIEW, DOES LIFE BEGIN? In my view, life begins at the moment of conception. From that point on, life is a process of change and development that continues un ce a singly even up to the moment of death. This constant change and development is not only physical, but is also psychological and spiritual. HOW DO YOU REACT TO ARGUMENTS OF POPULATION EXPLOSION? I am not as concerned about the so-called population explosion as some apparently are. Rather than promoting ways to keep population down that demean and demote the value of human life, we ought to find effective ways to enhance life by meeting the human needs of all people, present and future. It is my view that society has only scratched the surface in terms of its ability to provide a full range of quality of life for those presently living as well as those yet to be born. It de-pends on whether we will that the major share of our resources be dedicated to build up rather than to destroy. IN THE CASE OF DISEASE, HOW WOULD YOU RESPOND T 0 WOMEN WHO INSIST ON ABORTION TO PRE-VENT GIVING BIRTH TOA DEFORMED BABY? It would seem to me that the problem, in this instance, is the women's disease and not the unborn child. We do not kill a person because they have an incurable disease, nor, do we kill the handicapped

Pharmacy Orders By Computer The task of keeping an adequate stock of

fresh pharmaceuticals in St. Cloud Hospital Pharmacy has always been a constant job of ordering, rotating supplies on hand, and maintaining a great variety. But, that job is being made easier now by a computer-card ordering device operated through a telephone.

"Our Pharmacy is quite unlike a manu-facturer's production line where supplies are predicted by the quantities of finished pro-ducts, " said Larry Olson, Chief Pharmacist. "The physicians here represent almost every medical specialty, writing prescriptions for patients encountering a wide range of physical and mental conditions that occur routinely, and sometimes, rarely. We must keep a complete supply, but not over-stock. So, this year we went to this computer ordering system. "

"Auto-Invor" permits uninterrupted ordering via a desk telephone at a time most convenient to Pharmacy, a procedure taking . 3 0 - 4 5 minutes each day. A punched, computer-type card is on file for each drug, and includes quantity data. The Pharmacy technician dials a spec ia 1 number, and is connected with the c o m put e r at Twin City Wholesale Drug Co m p an y, Minneapolis. Then, she inserts cards, one at a time, into the card reader next to phone. Drug name and quantity ordered is transmitted to the com-puter in seconds. By listening on the phone,

Mental Health Unit Ends 2nd Year A total of 555 patients were treated on

the Mental Health Unit of St. Cloud Hospital during its second year, according to the unit' s annual report for the 12-month period ending September 9.

This total represented an increase of 186 patients over the unit's first year figure of 369. Women patients numbered 348 during the year, compared to 197 men.

The 87 adolescents admitted were divided between 51 girls and 36 boys, and 64 were over 65 years of age. Fourteen patients were on the partial hospitalization program.

Average length of stay was 18. 4 days. Page 6

the technician can tell when the order is received and the computer is ready for the next card.

"This automatic ordering service works just fine for us," concluded Olson. "We can delegate the job of ordering, and this creates time for Pharmacists of this department to explore other hospital challenges. "

PHARMACY TECHNICIAN EILEEN GRUBER IS SHOWN USING THE " AUTO-INVOR" TELEPHONE ORDERING DEVICE . EACH DRUG ORDER UTILIZES AN INDIVIDUAL CARD , AND DAILY ORDERING TAKES 30-45 MINUTES .

Governor Harold Levander will deliver the main dedicatory address in the 186-seat auditorium on the lower level of the new wing, following a private tour for the Governor and other dignitaries present for the dedication. His address will be broadcast by KFAM radio and WJON radio, and is expected to begin about 2:00 p.m.

Public tours will begin in the new patient lobby, and will lead through all the Rehabili-tation Center departments on the main floor, through the second floor of the building, and down into the lower level where refreshments will be served. The third floor will not be shown on the tour because it is identical to the second floor, each containing 50 beds.

Completion of this four-s to r y, $2 1/2 million structure concludes the third part of a five-phase construction-renovation pro-gram, which when finished in 1972, will have cost $11 million and enlarged S t. Clo ud Hospital to 500 patient beds.

Construction began on August 5, 1968. General Contractor was M. J. McGough Company, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Statement On. Abortion National Conference of Catholic Bishops

APRIL 22, 1970 LAST YEAR , WE STATED OUR STRONG OPPOSITION TO

ONGOING EFFORTS TO STRIKE DOWN LAWS PROHIBITING ABORTION. OUR DEFENSE OF HUMAN LIFE IS ROOTED IN THE BIBLICAL PROHIBITION, "THOU SHALT NOT KILL . " REGRETTABLY, THERE HAS BEEN A RADICAL TURN OF EVENTS DURING THIS PAST YEAR , AND A NEW EFFORT HAS BEEN DIRECTED TO THE TOTAL REPEAL OF ALL SUCH LAWS . AT THE SAME TI ME , AN EFFORT HAS BEEN MOUNTED IN THE COURTS TO HAVE SUCH LAWS DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

THEREFORE WE SPEAK AGAIN ON THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE OF PUBLIC POLICY, ADDRESSING OURSELVES TO THE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY AND TO ALL OUR FELLOW CITIZENS. FOR THE QUESTION OF ABORTION IS A MORAL PROBLEM TRANSCENDING ANY PARTICULAR SECTARIAN APPROACH . OUR OPPOSITION TO ABORTION DERIVES FROM OUR CONVICTION THAT WHATEVER IS OPPOSED TO LIFE IS A VIOLATION OF MAN'S INHERENT RIGHTS, A POSITION THAT HAS A STRONG BASIS IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN LAW. THE U .5 . BILL OF RIGHTS GUARANTEES THE RIGHT TO LIFE TO EVERY AMERICAN , AND THE U .N . DECLARATION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD , WHICH OUR NATION ENDORSES , AFFIRMS THAT THE CHILD, BECAUSE OF HIS DEPENDENT STATUS , SHOULD BE ACCORDED A SPECIAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW BEFORE AS WELL AS AFTER BIRTH. (U .N . GENERAL ASSEMBLY, NOVEM-BER 20 , 1959)

IN LIGHT OF THE ATTEMPTS TO REMOVE ALL PRO-HIBITION OF ABORTION FROM OUR LEGAL SYSTEM , THE LIFE OF THE INNOCENT UNBORN CHILD IS NO LONGER GIVEN UNIVERSAL PROTECTION IN THE LA WS OF OUR LAND. MOREOVER , THE ABSENCE OF ALL LEGAL RESTRAINT PROMOTES THE ACCEPTANCE OF ABORTION AS A CONVENIENT WAY FOR A WOMAN TO TERMINATE THE LIFE OF HER CHILD AND THE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT SHE HAS AS ITS MOTHER .

THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS PROPOSED CHANGE IN LEGAL PHILOSOPHY ARE ENORMOUS . ONCE WE ALLOW THE TAKING OF INNOCENT HUMAN LIFE IN THE EARLIEST STAGES OF ITS DEVELOPMENT FOR THE SAKE OF CON-VENIENCE, HOW CAN WE LOGICALLY PROTECT HUMAN LIFE AT ANY OTHER POINT, ONCE THAT LIFE BECOMES A BURDEN?

THE ASSERTION IS MADE THAT A WOMAN HAS A RIGHT NOT TO BE FORCED TO BEAR A CHILD AGAINST

Page 10

HER WILL, BUT WHEN A WOMAN IS ALREADY PREGNANT, THIS RIGHT MUST BE CONSIDERED IN LIGHT OF THE CHILD' S RIGHT TO LIFE, THE WOMAN' S RESPONSIBIL-ITIES AS ITS MOTHER, AND THE RIGHTS AND RESPON-SIBILITIES OF THE CHILD' S FATHER . THE LIFE OF THE UNBORN CHILD IS A HUMAN LIFE . THE DESTRUCTION OF ANY HUMAN LIFE IS NOT A PRIVATE MATTER, BUT THE CONCERN OF EVERY RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN.

WE REMAIN CONVINCED THAT HUMAN LIFE IS A PRICELESS GIFT, AND OUR PASTORAL DUTY PROMPTS US TO REAFFIRM THAT " GOD , THE LORD OF LIFE , HAS CONFERRED ON MEN THE SURPASSING MINISTRY OF SAFEGUARDING LIFE, A MINISTRY WHICH MUST BE FUL-FILLED IN A MANNER WHICH IS WORTHY OF MAN. THERE-FORE FROM THE MOMENT OF ITS CONCEPTION LIFE MUST BE GUARDED WITH THE GREATEST CARE , WHILE ABOR-TION AND INFANTICIDE ARE UNSPEAKABLE CRIMES." (PASTORAL CONSTITUTION ON THE CHURCH IN THE MODERN WORLD, NO. 51)

ONCE AGAIN , WE DECLARE OUR DETERMINATION TO SEEK SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS THAT LEAD SOME WOMEN TO CONSIDER ABORTION . WE PLEDGE OUR EFFORTS TO DO ALL THAT IS POSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE SOCIAL STIGMA THAT IS VISITED ON THE WOMAN WHO IS PREGNANT OUT OF WEDLOCK , AS WELL AS ON HER CHILD . WE ALSO PLEDGE THE FACILITIES AND THE EFFORTS OF OUR CHURCH AGENCIES TO PROVIDE COUNSELING AND UNDERSTANDING TO THE WOMAN WHO FACES A DIFFI-CULT PREGNANCY . AT THE SAME TIME , WE ARE ENCOURAGED BY THE SCIENTIFIC ADVANCE OF RECENT DECARDS THAT HAS ALREADY PROVIDED US WITH WAYS TO SUPPORT AND MAINTAIN THE LIFE AND HEALTH OF THE MOTHER AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHILD IN THE WOMB .

FINALLY , WE ARE A WAR E THAT THE VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE IS NOT EXCLUSIVELYA CATHOLIC CONCERN . MANYAMERICANS AGONIZE OVER THE LOSS OF LIFE INVOLVED IN MODERN WARFARE, THE SERIOUS ETHICAL QUESTIONS RAISED BY RECENT SCIENTIFIC AND SUR-GICAL ADVANCES , THE IMPLICATIONS OF POLLUTION ON OUR ENVIRONMENT AND THE LONG—RANGE EFFECTS OF DRUG USE . BUT SAFEGUARDING THE LIFE OF ALL MEN REQUIRES SAFEQUARDING THE LIFE OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL. FOR OUR HOLD ON LIFE ITSELF IS ONLY AS STRONG AS THE WEAKEST LINK IN OUR SYSTEM OF LAW.

ABORTION: THE SCH VIEW CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5.

or the deformed, at least at this point in time. The answer, it seems to me, is to cure the disease, not kill the unborn child.

Q. DO YOU SEPARATE ABORTION AND STERILIZATION AS TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES OR QUESTIONS?

A. Yes. Although both abortion , and steri-lization run contrary to our basic pur-pose of protecting, enhancing and pro-moting human life, abortion is a more serious violation of the right to life be-cause it terminates a life already in ex-istance. In my view, both are repre-hensible, but one is more so than the other.

Q. WHAT STEPS WILL ST. CLOUD HOSPITAL TAKE TO PROMULGATE OUR POSITION?

A. We intend to do everything we can to call attention to the matter of abortion and to point out the grave implications inherent in liberalizing the law. We will attempt to use whatever communications media might be open to us, appear before civic groups, and otherwise promulgate our position. We also hope to work closely with the Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life in their efforts to inform the public on this matter,

Q. HOW ABOUT OTHER H OS PI TALS IN MINNESOTA, AND OTHER HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS?

A. It is my understanding that, at this point, only the Minnesota Conference of Catho-lic Health Facilities has taken a strong stand in opposition to liberalizing of the abortion law. In terms of hospitals, I am not aware that any other hospitals have taken a public stand.

Q. THE AMA HOUSE OF DELEGATES HAS MOVED AWAY FROM ITS TRADI-TIONAL OPPOSITION TO ABORTION BY CALLING FOR A POLICY WHICH REFERS TO ABORTION ASA "MEDICAL PROCEDURE TO BE PERFORMED BY A LICENSED PHYSICIAN IN AN AC-CREDITED HOSPITAL AND ONLY AFTER CONSULTATION WITH TWO OTHER PHYSICIANS CHOSEN FOR

The Beacon Light

PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE. " ARE THE DOCTORS, AS A GROUP , BE-COMING MORE LIBERAL?

A. It might seem so. I wonder, though, if this liberalized stand is really shared by the typical physician in private practice. Personally, I know of a great many physicians who are not in favor of liber-alizing the law and who indicate they would not perform an abortion on demand even if the law allowed it.

Q. WHAT WOULD YOU ASK OUR READERS TO DO, REGARDING THIS QUESTION?

A. I would suggest, first, that everyone should become as fully informed and knowledgeable about this matter as they possibly can. After thorough study and viewing the question from all sides, I would hope most people would come to the same conclusion we have. Then i t becomes a matter of doing everything we can to ensure that the unborn child is accorded the same right to life as every-one else.

Q. COULD YOU SUGGEST SOME READING MATERIALS ON THE SUBJECT?

A. I would recommend the Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life as a source of factual data and information on the matter of abortion. Their address is 4804 Nicollet Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55409.

Q. CAN CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS OBTAIN SPEAKERS ON THE SUBJECT THROUGH YOUR OFFICE?

A. Yes. We would welcome the opportunity to appear before clubs and organizations. Speakers are also available through the local chapter of the Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life by calling Mrs. A. J. Turch at 252-5042 or 251-8681.

(4 ♦ Philosophy of the Health Service Apostolate

a little needle intimidate you?

Not really ... you-'re brave and bold and brash—not to mention—you're RESPONSIBLE, INFORMED, AND MATURE.

RESPONSIBLE because you know that disease prevention through immunization is a personal health responsibility—and one which should not be ignored or delayed.

INFORMED because as an adult, you realize the need for continued protection against smallpox, tetanus, poliomyelitis, and in some in-stances, against influenza and typhoid fever. As a concerned parent, you want your children immunized against diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, smallpox, poliomyelitis, measles, German measles, and mumps.

MATURE because you know that the s-y-r-i-n-g-e is not all that painful! This is Community Health Week—what better time to contact your

physician or public health department for advice that will insure ade-quate protection for you and your family against the major infectious diseases existing in this country.

Now ... why are you BRAVE AND BOLD AND BRASH . . . Well, isn't that obvious!

NEWS Fr. Riley Returns After Years Leave

Father Patrick Riley, Catholic Chaplain at St. Cloud Hospital for 18 years between 1951 and 1969, returned this mo nth following a year's leave for clinical pastoral study.

Sponsored by the Presbyterian Hospital Ministry i n Rochester,. the training p r o g ram utilized Mayo Clinic, St. Mary's Hospital and the Rochester State Hospital as its clinical facilities.
