Úr Heimskringlu 10. sept 1903
Úr ristjórnargrein “Um vinnu-
fólksvandræðin á Islandi”
“. . . Einatt síðan vistarbandið
var fyrir nokkrum árum afnum-
ið af alþingi, hefir vinnuhjúum
fækkað í öllum sveitum fands-
ins. Þessi losæðishreyfing fór þá
fyrst að gera vart við sig. Áður
var um ekkert slíkt að ræða, þvi
þá var hver fullorðinn íbúi
landsins, sem ekki hafði bú,
skyldur að vera vistfastur um 12
mánaða tíma í einu, hjá eirt-
hverjum búanda, eða fólkið
varð að hafa lausamenskubréf,
það er að segja, það varð að
kaupa stjórnarleyfi til þess að
vera frjálst . . . Þessi réttarbót
(afnám vistarbands) var skyldug
og sjálfsögð. Og það þurfti eng-
um að koma á óvart að hún
mundi hafa breytingar í för með
sér . . . Þetta varð líka, fólkið
þyrptist úr sveitunum niður að
sjávarsíðunni . . . Bændurnir
víða í sveitum hafa orðið til-
neyddir að yfirgefa jarðir sínar,
og flytja til sjávarins . . . Þetta
er hið mesta tjón fyrir land-
búnað Islands . . . Það má vel
vera að það sé satt, sem heima
blöðin hafa básúnað, að sjórinn
i|
kringum ísland sé gullkista. . .
£n það má líka með sama rétti
líkja honum við manndráps-
gildru. . . Það getur því orðið
æðimikið efamál hvort þessi gull
kista heimtar ekki að jafnaði,
þegar alt er reiknað, fullkomið
jafngildi þess sem hún lætur í
té. . .

Skáld-ljúflingur Islands, Stein-
grímur Þorsteinsson, andaðist
að heimili sínu í Reykjavík
miðvikudaginn 20. ágúst, eftir
nokkurra vikna undangengna
vanheilsu, 3 mánuðum betur en
82 ára gamall . . .
Ljóðmæli sín gaf Steingrímur
út fyrst árið 1881. Varð sú út-
gáfa uppseld á skömmum tíma,
og var ófáanleg um mörg ár.
Áðra útgáfu aukna lét hanu
gefa út 1893, og fór á sömu leið.
Þriðúa útgáfan birtist 1910, . . .
Auk ljóðmælanna hefir mesti
fjöldi þýddra bóka, bæði í
bundnu og óbundnú máli, kom-
ið út eftir Steingrím. . . Mesta
þrekvirki hans er þýðing á þús-
und og einni nótt, sem hann
gerði á árunum 1857-66.
Other measures under study
at the present time include
more adequate provision of
home care services, better use
of facilities adapted to the
needs of chronic and convales-
cent patients, increased out-
patient services on an insured
basis, and other means of
helping patients leave hospital
earlier, thereby reducing the
length of stay.

Hospitals Study Saturday Services
According to an announce-
ment by representatives of
Metropolitan hospitals and the
Manitoba Hospital Commis-
sion, following a recent joint
meeting, hospitals may soon
adopt a new policy to provide
increased hospital services on
Saturdays. This is considered
one of several ways to cope
with the waiting lists of pat-
ients. Under the proposed
changes, instead of limiting
week-end services to emerg-
ency care and carrying out
major treatment, elective and
other surgery, laboratory
tests, x-ray and other diag-
nostic procedures mainly
from Monday to Friday, full
services would be provided on
Saturdays as well as week-
days according to the demand
from patients and doctors.
Interest in this approach
was aroused locally by a re-
port in an American magazine
that the Cooper Hospital,
Camden, New Jersey, was
successfully using this method
to meet the increasing de-
mand for hospital care in its
area. Hospital and Commis-
sion representatives f r o m
Manitoba recently visited this
hospital to take a first-hand
look, and returned with a
favourable report. They re-
commended that the idea was
worth a try in Winnipeg.
Some of the advantages are
expected to be: more prompt
admission of non-emergency
cases, shorter hospital stays
for some patients and less
time lost from work. In many
cases involving minor surgery,
a patient might be admitted
on Friday, operated on Satur-
day and out on Monday or
Tuesday, instead of having to
wait until Monday or Tuesday
to be operated on.
Hospitals are now studying
the proposal individually to
see how it can be adapted to
their particular circumstances.
There are a number of diffi-
culties to be ironed out; pat-
ients would have to agree to
be admitted for care and treat-
ment over the week-end and
practical methods to effect
the change would have to be
discussed with hospital staffs.
Only about 20% of hospital
personnel would be affected
by an adjústment to their
work schedule. There would,
be no change in the basic 40-
hour work-week for hospitál
employees, which has been
estáblished, in Winnipeg hos-
pitals for several years.
This is one of several meth-
ods being considered by hos-
pitals and the Hospital Com-
mission to make more effec-
tive use of hospital facilities.
