HOSPITAL AMENITIES
TO THE EDITOH OP THE P&ESS. 'Sir, —A patient, *'a naval rating," who is leaving Us this afterhoori, wants me to pen a letter of thanks for the attention he has received. If I canvassed the patients for their vote as they went out, I am sure it would be a nem. con. Aye. They return sometimes to tell us how they miss us, and the amenities of the ward which are many, in the shape of the racing news and the cricket scores. I must get a move on when these seasons are over. Sunday would be the'dull day "to pull through," as Mark Twain put it about the first Sunday in Eden, if it were not for the afternoon professional visitors who flit from bed to bed with their hearty hand-shakes and words of cheer; dovetailing in with the personal friends most of us have. Our politics are quite tinged with socialism;; I don't think we possess a communist, nor do we know the words of the Red Flag—we are not "agin the Government." Neither, do I think, we could sing the hymns dear to the revivalist, and the scarehead tract soon becomes waste paper.—Yours, etc., PETER TROLOVE. February 14, .1937.
