Strictly Confidential
Referring to objections which had
been made by some members of the
Better Films association because a
detailed report of the April meeting
had been published in The Sentinel.
Mr. Danenborg said:
“First let it be understood that
whatever I sayhere is confidential.
Not a word of it is to be repeated»
outside of this room or published in
the local press. Now that that is
understood. those who are unwilling
to 'abide by that condition will. of

thinking todayof your last monthly
meeting and ’of 'what you considered
the undesirable publicity which re-
suited.
"I would like to stress several
points regarding reporting meetings.
as I understand them. If reporters
are present it is their Job to cover
what happens. If it is desired that
certain speeches or discussions are
to be omitted from the published
accounts an agreement should be

in common with all the other bos-
piteis of the United States and Can-

serve National Hospital Day on Wed-
nesday, May 12. In other years this
has meant "open house" at the Nor-
walk hospital. This your the chief
and the public is cordially invited to
inspect the building on that day.
So great was the crowd at the for-
mal opening and grudliation excr-
ciscs last Friday evening that many
were turned away. It is the hope of
the management that these will be
sufficiently interested to come back
Wednesday to see the building. All
who were present at thegopenlng ad-
mired the beautiful appearance of
the rooms as they had been deco-
rated for the occasion. but they will
be found to be still more attractive
with the rugs and furniture in place.
As has been frequently pointed out
the building is both home and train-
ing school. No part of the equipment
will he found of greater interest to
the visitor than the class rooms and
laboratories of the training school.
Nurseswili be stationed in these
rooms to explain their use. .
_ As usual. members of the W0-
man's board will be hostesses on
Hospital Day. Heretofore open house
has been observed only in the after-
noon. but this year it will be from
2:30 to 4:30 in the afternoon and
