Maternity The second floor of the PERLEY PAVILION is entirely Maternity cases. As we look around we are impressed by the long shining corridors. This ward is divided into three sections: The Ward, The Nursery, The Case Rooms. Let us now observe the Ward. According to Mrs. Smith—“The day begins at 6:00 a.m. sharp (maybe a little earlier) with a face wash—at seven, temperature, pulse and respiration—7.30, breakfast—8.00 a.m., baths, etc. About 9.15 we hear the rumble of the carriers. Oh, there comes Junior, isn’t he a dear: you know, nurse, I think he is growing. What, time for him to go back to the nursery so soon? The remainder if the morning is spent writing letters, reading books, or finishing the white booties with blue ribbons provided you are fortunate enough not to have the nurse come arcund and help you exercise, or sit in a chair. By now it is lunch time and we certainly are hungry. This routine is repeated approximately three times each day, and our friends break the monotony by visiting us between the hours cf 2.00-3.00 p.m. and 7.30-8.30 p.m. each day. The nurses bustle about, scattering cheeriness as they go, and making our stay in hospital as pleasant as possible.”

Father ' s Footstep: father and his tiny son Crossed a rough street one stormy da see, papa ”, cried the little one I stepped in your steps all the way . h, random childish hands that deal Quick thrusts no coat of steel could st touched him with the touch of steel: I stepped in your steps all the way . this man shirks his manhood due, And heeds what lying voices say, is not one who falls, but two, I stepped in your steps all the way .
