GALA HOLIDAY SEASON AT JH The month of December ushered in

an unusually busy holiday season at JH this year.

Festivities began on December 11 when a Holiday Party was given in the Steinberg Auditorium for all hospital patients by the Patients' Recreation Committee of the Women's Auxiliary. Entertainment was provided by "The Gullivers," a clever puppet show staged by four talented St. Louis couples — Dick and Janet Roberts, Ed and Midge Roberts, Bob and Kay Reinhardt, and Chuck and Charlotte Flachmann.

Also occurring on this date was the "Big Sister-Little Sister Party" given in the newly-decorated gymnasium at the Moses Shoenberg Memorial by the student nurses for alumnae and faculty of the School of Nursing. Utilizing the theme of "Season's Greetings," the af- fair featured living musical Christmas cards presented in tableau form, depict- ing such songs as "Jingle Bells," "Frosty the Snowman" and "Winter Wonderland."

December 18 was the date of the annual Holiday Party given for students

in the School of Nursing by the Women's Auxiliary. Highlight of that j evening was the musical entertainment provided by "The Cut-Ups," a combo consisting of Dr. Julius Elson, violin; Dr. Leon Foster, musical saw; Dr. Ben G. Mannis, trumpet; Dr. J. G. Prob- stein, drums; and Dr. Jerome I Simon, piano. An orchestra composed of Wash- ington University students provided dance music, and volunteer hostesses served guests a buffet supper.

Topping off the festivities was the gala "Employees' Holiday Party" held on December 20. Jack Field and a selected group of his musicians head- lined the entertainment, which also in- cluded Margie Muser, baton twirler; Barbara Parker, soloist; the Arthur Murray dancers (whose cha-cha demon- stration with student nurses and house staff officers was the hit of the after- noon !); the Student Nurses' Choir; and an impromptu dance act by Mr. John Fordon and Miss Dorothy Schmidt.

High point of the afternoon was the annual recognition of employee service. Special awards ranging from JH pins

to clocks, wallets, and gift certificates were presented to 41 employees by Mr. Richard K. Weil, President of the Hos- pital, who was introduced in the pro- gram by Dr. David Littauer, Executive Director. Those receiving awards were: (35 years): Marie Campbell. (30 years) : Edna E. Peterson, Hepple Robinson. (25 years): Josie Brandla. (20 years): Virginia Reisinger, Avanelle Boyce. (15 years): Mary Colenburg. (10 years): Virginia Denson, Alto Bryant, Edna Robinson, Paul R. Wozniak, Rosie Straub, Mary J, Caffrey, Elmer Kendall. (5 years): Marjorie Greer, Charlie An- derson, Helen Davis, Simon Lammers, Stella Meinz, Juanita Irving, Joe Moser, Adele Parker, Elenora Levells, Jose- phine Marshall, John Boeckman, Doro- thy Winkler, Marty 0. Harvey, Katie Mitchell, Loretto Gillespie, Henrietta Allen, Elizabeth Robinson, Fern Thorp, John Franklin, Barbara McReynolds, Hazel Hall, Bella Fendelman, Emma Parker, Marcella Sykes, Sue Bryson, Grace Campbell, Wilma Havenar.

FIRST BABY IN ROOS DELIVERY SUITE

Little David. William Cook received the distinction of being the first baby born in the new Delivery Suite on 4-North, arriving just a few hours after the area was opened on December 2. A rather sleepy Master Cook is shown above with his proud parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Cook, 5601 Kings- bury Court. Funds for the Delivery Suite were donated by Mr. Sol Roos, Life Member of the Board of Directors, memorializing the area to Mrs. Selma K. Roos.

NEW BOARD MEMBER Mr. Edwin G. Shifrin, of the law firm

of Shifrin Shifrin and Agatstein, has been elected to the Board of Directors of the Hospital, filling a vacancy in the class of 1959 created by the resignation of Mrs. Irving Lending.

Mr. Shifrin is President of the Jewish Family Service Agency and is Secretary of the Jewish Federation of St. Louis.

IBM SYSTEM INSTALLED On January 1, 1958, a new Interna-

tional Business Machines installation went into effect, under the supervision of Mr. Ralph Chilton. This department is located directly adjacent to the busi- ness offices on the first floor of the Hospital.

Consisting of ten machines, the in- stallation initially is being utilized for payroll, accounts receivable and pay- able, and general accounting operations. The machines will later be extended for use in medical records, inventories, and various statistical studies.

The biggest function which the ma- chines perform is the preparation of patients' bills. Jewish Hospital is one of the first hospitals in the country to install the IBM system for this purpose.

In addition to Mr. Chilton, the de- partment's staff consists of Gary Belk, Machine Operator; Rita Brennan, Betty Wilson, and Barbara Bechtold, Key Punch Operators. It is anticipated that the number of employees will ultimately be increased to provide twenty-four hour coverage for this office.

UNITED DRIVE FUND ENDS Official figures on the United Fund

Drive conducted at JH this year report a total collection of $3,110.55, represent- ing an achievement of almost 99% of our goal of $3,157.00.

A total of 672 employees contributed, representing 72% of the Hospital's per- manent work force. This is an increase of 8% over last year's participation.

The 1957 campaign was conducted under the leadership of Mr. George V. Home, Pharmacist, and Mr. Harry Grow, Jr., former Personnel Director.

WOMEN'S AUXILIARY INSTITUTES PATIENT RECREATION PROGRAM

To break the monotony of the pa- tient's stay is one of the most challeng- ing problems faced by any hospital. Treatments, tests, and general nursing care keep the patient well occupied dur- ing the daytime hours, but evening time hangs heavy on the hands of those pa- tients not confined to bed.

The first step toward a solution to this problem was taken recently by the Women's Auxiliary of JH, which has appointed a Patients' Recreation Com- mittee, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Fred R. Sale.

This Committee plans monthly parties for all ambulatory patients at the Hos- pital, recruiting local talent who donate their services free of charge. (Recent entertainers have been the Olin-Schmidt Variety Show, Ida Byrne, pianist, and The Gullivers, puppeteers.) Patients participate in the programs with group singing, and refreshments top off the evening's fun.

Members of the Committee include: Mrs. Donald Ross, Publicity; Mrs. Paul Kranzberg, Program Chairman; Mrs. Irving Lending, Hospitality; and Mrs. Lester Munchweiler, Volunteers. Mrs. Sophia Rosenkranz, Director of Volun- teer Services, assists the Committee by making up a list of all patients who are permitted to attend each month's party (they must have their physician's con- sent), and Mr. Robert Hickok, Coordi- nator of the Rehabilitation Division, ar- ranges for orderlies to transport pa- tients to and from the Steinberg Auditorium.

Best proof of the success of the Com- mittee's efforts is the large number of smiling faces and tapping feet in evi- dence at each affair, when cares and loneliness are forgotten and a good time is had by all.

Mr. Chilton has attended IBM Spe- cialty Schools over a period of the past ten years, including an administrative school in Endicott, New York. He will continue to attend classes since the In- ternational Business Machines Corpora- tion is constantly marketing new machines.

Installation of this system was made possible through the grant received from the Ford Foundation last year.

TRITT LECTURE PLANNED FOR MARCH 4

Announcement has been made by Dr. Alfred Goldman, Chairman of the 1958 Jack H. Tritt Memorial Lecture Com- mittee, that the eleventh annual Jack H. Tritt Lecture will be given on Tues- day, March 4, 1958, at 8:30 p.m. in the Auditorium of the Mark C. Steinberg Memorial.

Harry Eagle, M.D., Chief of the Sec- tion on Experimental Therapeutics, Na- tional Institute of Allergy and Infec- tious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, will be this year's guest speaker. His subject will be, "Amino Acid Metabolism in Tissue Culture."

Harry Eagle, M.D.

Dr. Eagle, who formerly served as Scientific Director of the Research Branch, National Cancer Institute, is an outstanding microbiologist and is well known in the field of chemotherapy. He received his A.B. degree in 1923 from Johns Hopkins University, and his M.D. degree in 1927 from that uni- versity's medical school.

The Jack H. Tritt Memorial Lectures are given annually at JH in memory of Dr. Jack H. Tritt, a former intern and resident in medicine here. Popular and deeply loved by all who knew him, Dr. Tritt died suddenly at age thirty-one in 1947. In his honor, a fund was estab- lished to sponsor annual scientific lec- tures by prominent specialists.

The lecture will be open to the public.

On behalf of all their friends and co-workers, we extend our deepest sympathy to the following asso- ciates of JH: Dr. Harold Scheff, Senior Physi-

cian, on the death of his father, Hyman Scheff

Mrs. Florence Ross, volunteer work- er, on the death of her husband, Alexander M. Ross

Mrs. Rebecca Rosenblum, Recep- tionist, on the death of her sister, Mrs. Goldie H. Blumenthal

MEDICAL STAFF ALUMNI INAUGURATE HOLIDAY GIFT FUND

As a form of expressing its appreciation to Jewish Hospital personnel for services rendered during- the past year, the Medical Staff Alumni Association instituted a Holiday Gift Fund to provide a simple, yet equitable, means of securing donations for the purchase of remembrances.

Total donations of $2,637.50 were received from approxi- mately 90% of the active Medical Staff.

Service, professional, and administrative departments were remembered with baskets of fruit, cheeses, and liqueurs, and carefully selected individual gifts were presented to department heads, supervisors, and other personnel having direct contact with the Medical Staff throughout the year.

Dr. I. C. Middleman served as Chairman of the com- mittee appointed by Dr. M. H. Meyerhardt, President of the Alumni Association, to collect donations and secure gifts. Those serving with him were: Dr. I. J. Fiance, President of the Medical Staff; Dr. Alvin Goldfarb, Vice- Chairman; Drs. L. M. Aronberg, Leonard Berg, Samuel C. Bukantz, Jerome E. Cook, Norman Drey, Leon Foster, Alfred Goldman, Marshall Greenman, Lawrence Halpern, Jack Hasson, Daniel Klaff, Milton Lenobel, Harry Rosen- baum, and Harold Scheff. Mr. John Fordon and Miss Shirley Stoving served as ex-officio members of the committee, handling administrative details.

Evidence of the success of the project in cementing good employee-medical staff relations is contained in the many notes of appreciation received by the committee. Because of this excellent response, the Medical Staff Alumni Association plans to undertake this solicitation on an annual basis.

DIRECTOR'S COFFEE HOUR

Shown above, Dr. Littauer meets with a group of ladies from the Business Office.

In the past five years, during which JH was undergoing its expansion program, the number of personnel was also increasing. Today, with almost 1,000 employees, it is a vast complex of departments and corridors. Because of the danger of "impersonalness" and at the same time in recog- nition of the need to inform employees about the new advances in the Hospital's patient care, education, and research programs, a number of steps have been taken to broaden JH's personnel relations activities.

Typical of these is the recently instituted "Director's Coffee Hour." Two or three times a month, on a rotating schedule, co-workers from all the various areas and depart- ments meet informally over coffee and donuts with Dr. Littauer. During this time together, Dr. Littauer has an opportunity to review building and program development at JH, and those attending have an opportunity to quiz their Executive Director face-to-face on matters affecting the Hospital.

AUDIOLOGY AND MYCOLOGY PROGRAMS STARTED

Expanded services in the fields of hearing disorders and fungus disease have now become part of the Medical Center's program, it was announced by Dr. David Littauer, Executive Director.

Functioning within the Department of Dermatology, the Mycology Labora- tory will be directed by Morris Moore, Ph.D. He will be responsible for the analysis of all laboratory specimens known or suspected of fungus infection. Such infections, it is reported, are more common now than ever due to the more widespread use of antibiotics and ster- oids.

Dr. Moore will also be available for private physicians for individual my- cological consultation and analysis. His laboratory is located on the ground floor, across from Central Supply, tele- phone station #456. His research stud- ies are being directed on the effect of steroids and antibiotics on fungi, and the role of fungi in allergies.

Dr. Moore received degrees from Boston, Harvard, and Washington Uni- versities, receiving his Ph.D. from the latter in 1933. Prior to coming to JH, he was for many years mycologist to the Barnard Free Skin and Cancer Hos- pital. He holds an appointment as As- sistant Professor of Clinical Medicine at Washington University. He is married and has two children.

The Audiology program, to be di- rected by Robert Goldstein, Ph.D., will be a part of JH's Department of Oto- laryngology. It will now enable Jewish Hospital to offer routine hearing eval- uations and diagnosis, specialized test- ing of pediatric hearing problems and a full-time professional speech correc- tion program, on both an in-patient and out-patient basis.

The facilities for this new service will be the specially designed ENT clinic area on the ground floor, including a sound-isolated suite, audiometric equip- ment, and office space.

The research program in this field soon to be initiated by Dr. Goldstein will include studies in electroencephalic and electrodermal responses to auditory stimulation and an attempt to learn more of the role of the central nervous system in auditory function.

Dr. Goldstein comes to JH from two close neighbors, the Central Institute for the Deaf and Washington Univer- sity, where since 1954 he has been Research Associate and Assistant Pro- fessor and Clinical Audiologist. A native of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, he at- tended Pennsylvania State University and Washington University, receiving his Ph.D. in Audiology from the latter in 1952. Dr. Goldstein is a combat veteran of World War II, and now lives in University City with his wife and 2- year old son.

MEMORABILIA COMMITTEE APPOINTED

In order to record the history of the Jewish Hospital, a Memorabilia Com- mittee has been appointed by the Jewish Federation of Saint Louis.

This committee is a part of the Fed- eration's Historical Committee, chaired by Mrs. I. Jerome Fiance.

The committee will gather pertinent data on deceased members of JH's Medi- cal Staff to be used in narrative style to highlight the personality of the physician to be honored. The physician's hobbies, habits, interests, and scientific accomplishments will be studied.

Once a collection of material on a^ individual doctor has been completed, if" will be placed on display in showcases which have been set up for this purpose in the alcove outside the Medical Staff Lounge on the first floor of the Hospital.

Chaired by Mrs. Nathan Burgheim, the Memorabilia Committee members are: Mrs. Albert Auer, Mrs. Arnold Block, Mrs. Jerome Grosby, Mrs. Israel Heifetz, Mrs. Louis Kaufmann, Mrs. Albert Rich, Mrs. Leo Sachar, and Mrs. Ben Shapiro.
