WASHINGTON (UPI) —Thou-
sands of America’s young
vented their frustration over
the Indochina War Saturday at
a three-hour rally in sweltering
heat, then surged around
barricades surrounding the
White House shouting “peace
now!”
Police restraint and the pleas
of the demonstrators’ own
marshals for order appeared to
have averted a violent confron-
tation. After two hours of
milling around the bumper-to-
bumper wall of buses sealing
off the White House for a block
on every side, many protesters
drifted away.
There were 10 arrests by late
afternoon. Eight persons de-
scribed by police as members
of the American Nazi party,
were charged with disorderly
conduct, and two persons
frolicking in the Reflecting Pool
on the mall to cool off were
charged with indecent expo-
sure.
The early afternoon rally in a
park just south of the White
House drew a generally festive
crowd of 60,000 persons, by U.S.
Park Police estimate. They
alternately lolled in the grass
and cheered demands for a
general national strike to
“cripple the war machine” and
hasten the end of U.S.
involvement in Southeast Asia.
The rally was hastily orga-
nized after President Nixon’s
decision to commit U.S. troops
to Cambodia and the subse-
quent slaying of four Kent State
University students that led to
a nationwide shutdown of
college campuses.
Besides a rash of heat
exhaustion complaints—it got
up to 90—There were no

Your Hospital Cares
The emotional cry came
from one of about 2,000 demon-
strators sitting and standing on
and around the steps of the ag-
ing Administration Building at
the University of Oklahoma.
And, despite all the brainpow-
er assembled, the group was
unable to agree upon an an-
swer.
The cry reflected clearly the
frustration of a group of people
trapped between their back-
ground and grave concerns
about their future. The struggle
appeared to leave them paral-
yzed.

Episcopal Church here Tuesday
at 10 a.m. Brown, a former
Pawhuskan and J-C newsboy, died
of brain cancer after an illness
of 18 months. He had lived and
worked in New London for about
a year before becoming ill. He
had attended Pawhuska schools.
He was born October 6, 1948,
at Hot Springs, Ark., the son of
Ralph and Ruth Brown, both Paw-
huskans and both of whom sur-
vive. Other survivors include
his grandmothers, Lola C. Brown
of 414 East Ninth Street, here-

(Ed’s Note: A hospital is an institution, but it
is made up of people who care, people who are
involved in the community. The Pawhuska hos-
pital, community-owned and operating as a non-
profit service to the people who own it - the
community, is an outstanding example of the
fact that “Your Hospital Cares”. The follow-
ing analysis of Pawhuska’s hospital involve-
ment in the community is presented as a cli-
max of national hospital week.)
The theme of National Hospital Week for
1970 is “YOUR HOSPITAL CARES”. It should
go without saying that an organization which
exists to provide service to a given area is
concerned and does care about the people it
serves. However, it is always worthwhile to
review the evidence which supports these con-
clusions.
It can be stated that the primary reason
for the existence of a voluntary non-profit
community hospital is to provide medical ser-
vices for people within the area of service
of that hospital. This is not to say that pri-
vate, profit-making hospitals do not exist, for
they do. However, in Pawhuska we are concern-
ed with a hopital whose only motive for exist-
ence is service to the community. The hospital
was built on the strength of a public bond is-
sue and participation of public money through
the Hill-Burton matching program.
Pawhuska Hospital is organized to provide,
not only inpatient services to those people re-
quiring hospitalization for illness but outpatient
services for emergency injuries, chronic em-
physema patients, laboratory and radiology
diagnostic facilities as well as physical ther-
apy services.
In addition to services provided within its
own walls, it is also the hospital’s responsi-
bility to involve itself and its personnel in out-
side community affairs. For instance, hospital
personnel and medical staff members pati-
cipate in immunization clinics on a free and
voluntary basis. They also donate their time
to participation in Area-Wide Planning activit-
ies through the Tulsa Area Health and Hospi-
tal Planning Council. This council is a newly
established organization which receives fed-
eral financing support for the purpose of plan-
ning and providing for the orderly develop-
ment and establishment of health services ac-
cording to the needs of the population, it is
hoped that efforts such as the Area-Wide Plan-
ning Agency will prevent costly duplication of
equipment and facilities, particularly in me-
tropolitan areas, and thereby, help to control
rapidly rising costs of medical care.
Much debate and conversation has been held
concerning the inadequacy of the “Health Care
System”. Undoubtedly, methods of delivering
health services to the population must be con-
stantly reviewed and evaluated as to their ef-
fectiveness. All groups involved, including gov-
ernment agencies, see a growing trend toward
the development of the general hospital as
the central focal point of the health care
“complex”. It seems only logical that the
general hospital should develop as this central
focal point. The hospital involves all of the
equipment, personnel and professional medical

Mrs. Monger has received a

inscribed "Given to Mrs. Eileen

dated April 27, 1970.
Mrs. Monger designed and ent-

age 16, a resident of Hissom
Center for the mentally retard-
ed. Tracy had a severe birth
injury which has confined him
to a wheel chair and incapable
of normal body functions.
The jump suit was made in
a large flower print to add co-
lor and a little gaiety to a cli-
nical atmosphere, with snap cl-
osing in the back so he could
not unbotton or unzip the gar-
ment. It was adapted to a spe-

I’m sure you have noticed the plantings made by Charles
Bookout and his Park Department employees in front of the
museum, and did you notice the name Pawhuska in small plants?
These flower beds through Pawhuska are always pretty, and
many visitors to the museum are high in their praise of the
beautiful and cultural aspects of this small town.
In my last notes 1 mentioned that several student tour groups
had been in the museum, and that same afternoon we had a
chartered bus tour of 40 students from a consolidated school
near Sapulpa.
We have been receiving more display items, and I want to men-
tion the loan of two pieces. Mr- and Mrs. Shockley Shoemake of
Pawhuska have placed on exhibit two of John D. Free’s fine
bronzes. Free is an Osage Indian artist of Pawhuska who is
becoming nationally known and recognized for his Indian and
western art.
The bronze “Mandan” is a small bust of the Mandan Indian.
This was a small tribe that lived along the Missouri River and
were mostly farmers and were among the first to trade with the
rench explorers. The bust shows the Indian wit a wolf’s head
as a head covering.
The other bronze is “Sancho”, a steer made famous by J.
F rank Dobie in his book “The Longhorns”. This longhorn
steer was an orphan calf and raised by the owner’s wife, Maria
Kerr, who named him "Sancho”, which means “pet” in Spanish.
Kerr, who lived on a small ranch near San Antonio, Texas,
sold Sancho to go to Wyoming in a trail drive, and on the 2 000
mile trek from Frio County, Texas, “Sancho”, the pet, who was
in the first of the three large bunches of cattle kept dropping
atnignt.d getting in the last bunch until they had to tie him up
Finally reaching the destination in Wyoming, “Sancho” was
branded the C R brand and turned out to graze. Many months
later ‘Sancho” walked back into the little ranch place of the
Kerr’s near San Antonio, and Maria ran out and hugged his
neck and cried, and he stayed on that ranch until he died. Can
you imagine the route the lone steer must have taken through the
long 2,000 miles of mountains and deserts to reach his home in
Frio County, Texas?
