He may be assigned to anything from running an elevator to driving a tractor on the hospital farm. The latter assignment is especially beneficial in that the patient not only receives needed exercise but enjoys the valuable sun rays at the same time. Staff Responsible Care is taken to explain to the members of the staff, who administer the program, their responsi-j bility in being a part of the treat-l ment. And under this policy the staff members have come to regard the program as part of their regular duties and pride themselves in its success.

"Although we have found it convenient to assign patients to activities within our hospital, our primary- motive is the patients' recovery," explains Dr. Ceres, a flight surgeon of more than 30 years naval service. "It is not the purpose of the program to obtain patient labor. Therapy valuable to the patient is foremost." "Our; plan," says Captain Ceres, "is merely utilizing the already established facilities of the hospital plant, without which we could not carry on our program."
