Northwest Texas Hospital reports heavy patient influx due to respiratory illnesses including influenza pneumonia and colds. Only the maternity floor remains less crowded as several expectant mothers lie in awaiting beds. Hospital rule is to operate at no more than 85 percent capacity per Mr. Beringer.
Ed Pelgen of Apache Leather Goods recalls a 53 year career turning out saddles from Teva to Chicago. He notes design shifts from square to round skirts, higher cantles to today’s lower seats, and an 18 to 20 inch bulge change. He remembers earning 20 cents per saddle and now spends about 18 hours per piece. He has built saddles for three wars, supervised Chicago firm facilities in WWI, and created saddles for Texas cattlemen in WWII.
The Northwest Texas hospital treated 894 patients in January for 4941 patient days at a cost of 11.07 per patient day. 101 newborns were among total patients, 15 died, and 21 county charity patients were served.
