It’s Your Hospital

Work Shop leaders From Marian High
Dear Mrs. ChenauJt;
1 have no complaints regarding the service and medical care I and my family have received at General yiospital. There is one -^oblem which I have, and I 'am sure other people do to -4>arking. WW is being done to provide adequate parking 'facilities (non-metered) for vpatients and visitors at General Hospital?
LB.
^Dear L.B.i
Cincinnati Goieral Hospital would be very pleased to offer our patients and visitors off-street parking on a rio-cost * basis, but the economic facts ' of life makes this idea rather remote.
Parking around CGH has been a long-standing problem' and because of this, innumerable meetings have been held, and various plans discussed.
(1) Multi-deck parking. This plan was eliminated because of the high cost. For example when the University of Cincinnati built the 600-car facility at Eden aniFBethesda, the approximate cost was $1,200,000, not including the cost of the land. This averages out to $2,000 per car space. UC will issue bonds to cover the construction cost, and its proposed parking fee is $15 per month, UC is concérned that the number of privileged parkers and the proposed fee may not generate enough income for them to pay for the bonds when they become due.
(2) “Off-street” parking on street-level lots. Two of our
lots fall in this categcny. One k>t is located on the southside of Goodman and Highland Avenue, and the other lot is bounded by Eden, Goodman, Piedmont and Belleview Avenues. 'With land aequistion, paving, lights and fencing, the total cost for these two lots was about $325,000. The cost per car-space averages out to about $l,(^. The land was acquired through Urban Renewal, therefore, under market prices.
(3) “Curb-side” parking on existing streets. This category of parking cost the least to CGH. As you probably already know, the city has installed meters on practically all the streets surrounding the hospital. The revenue derived ‘from these meters is collected and used by the City. None of it is directly turned over to CGH.
From the three alternatives just discussed, it is apparent that CGH doesn’t have much of a choice. Multi-deck parking is impossible' because of cost, and “cub-side and off-strert” parking have already beoi implemented.
Provisions of parking spaces are an expensive business, and few institutions or municipalities can offer free parking. Even commercial enterprises Shillito’s and Pogues - iri Uw. crowded downtown area charge. We, too, are overcrowded with no new land available to us.
Sincerely,
(Mrs.) Peggy H. Chenault

Fiber In Diet Called
Defense Against Cancer
' The old granny tales advising I'roughage” in the diet are beginning to receive valid scientific support. Startling new medical evidence suggests that adding fiber to the diet may aid in reducing canrer of the cplon and rec-|um (colo-rectal cancer), now Second only to lung cancer as % cause of death from Inalignancy. Lack of fibrous iood in the diet may also be a ILontributing factor in ap-^ndicitis, heart> disease ai^ pverticulitis, if is reported in
the December issue of the Reader’s Digest.
Focusing on the work of distinguished British surgeon Dr. Denis Burkitt, the article notes that the incidence of colo rectal cancer in undeveloped countries in Africa is one-thirteenth that of of the United States. Dr. Burkitt began to suspect that the disease was diet related when, as Africans moved from native villages to urban areas and Westernized diets, he observed that the rate of colo-

The gift, to be applied to the Wilberforce University Disaster Emergency Building Fund, will help in the construction of the new Learning Resources Center on the new campus. The old Wilberforce campus was extensively damaged by the destructive tornado which swept through the Xenia area on April 3rd of this year.
Created by the bequest of Arthur Vining Davis, the late chairman of the Aluminum Company of America, the Foundations were established primarily for support of private education, medicine, and religion. Dr. Franklyn A. Johnson, Consultant for the Foundations, visited the Wilberforce campus last May, and through his recommendation the grant was recently approved.
Wilberfbrce University, the oldest institution of higher education for minorities in the United States, was founded five years prior to the Civil War and is operated under the auspices of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. A four year liberal arts college, Wilberforce offers a mandatory cooperative education progpun which provides students with an opportunity to enrich their academic education through practical job experiences.

Rural Africans eat coarsely "ground grains and only lightly processed cereals, high in fiber content. They consume
about 25 grams of fiber daily. In America, by contrast, the consumption of whole-grain cereals has declined. “We have assumed,” says Burkitt,
