In a report to the hospital last week, Chief of Staff Dr. J. Chong Ping said the medical staff plans to make it a condition that all physicians on active staff must receive 30 hours of continuing education each year, and be qualified to perform CPR (cardiopulmon- ary resuscitation). Dr. Ping later explained this policy is intended to -make sure doctors keep up with new developments in their fields. A number of local doctors are members of the College of Family Physicians, he noted, and the college requires a minimum of 100 hours of continuing education every two years. He said that while some other hospitals have similar requirements for their staff, he does not think it is very common. The rule was first introduced by the local medical staff association a year or two -ago, he said, but this year the requirement has been increased to 30 hours from 20. Hospital Executive Director Norman Hay- es said there is a "fairly intensive process" of verifying credentials before any new appointments are recommended.

And she would go to the butcher shop and pick up the soup bones they had saved for the workers and then on to the farmers' market to collect the culls. Soon the bake shop was saving their day old bread. During the "second depression" in 1938, the workers were feeding between 400 and 500 men. For many of them, it was their only meal of the day. Following the depression, the Catholic Workers opened the Holy Trinity Medical Clinic which provided medical services to a growing Mexican population in the commun- ity.
