Cleaning Crew at UN Building Sweep 2,000,000 sq. ft. Flooring

By A. I. Goldbet, UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. (A?)-

:i may help to know of a place that has 2,000,000 square feet of

vacuumed.

Or if your husband complains about washing the windows. tell hun here's a building that has 5,400 of the double-hung variety to be washed every 40 days-inside and -out.

p On the other hand. there's I crew of 335 to do the dirty work -and dirty work it is to keep the United Nations building looking' clean and shining. ;

Smoke and acid in the air make it a major project to keep a polish on the eight huee nickel doors Can- ada donated for me entrance to the General Assembly building. They're dulled withui 24 hours. rKseping clean the mammoth pool fronting the glass-and-marble skyscraper has become a losing battle. Built with the pennies andi nlckels of AlllEZ'iCiin school Chll-, .di-en. it's decorated in alternate bands of unite and black stones- the latter from the Greek isle of Rhodes. But the soot and dirt made it inipossihle to keep the, white stones ixliite. Now they're going to be covered with a hard white paint in a last-ditch try to make them glisten again.

8.500 Panes of Glass

The clean-up job goes on nights 5 and week-ends, as well as on the day when 11.000 visitors. emP10ll'l es and delegates troop in and out of the 39-story secretariat sky- scraper and the round-doomed ss- Iembly.

The 25-loot-high plate glass win- dow walls in each of the council; chambers, conference rooms. dele- gates' lounges and public lobbies must be washed down with special

equipment. There are also 45-foot-'

high picture windows in the south end of the General Assembly build- ing and 110-foot high windows in

the north end which require con-.

stant attention.

Glass doors have to be washed several times a clay. There are 8.000 panes of glass in partitions to be done on rainy days.

Nearly seven miles of draperies and curtains have to be cleaned periodically. at least 324,000 vene- tian blind slats have to be dusted. and 6,000 upholstered chairs need cleaning occasionally.

Much of the UN work is done- by hired crews. although the UN may take on its own cleaning work some day.

TEACHING THE SOCIAL ASPECTS OF MEDICINE

From time to time I write about the great help to patient and phy- sician of the visiting hospital soc- ial worker. She visits the home and sees exactly how the patient lives and his or her surroundings.

While the social worker is of great help to patient and physiclan.l what is an even more advanced step is lhat of a scheme inaugur- ated in the Medical Department of the University of Toronto. In the Ontario Medical Review. Dr. M. R. Clarkson reports on Teaching the Social Aspects of Medicine. Dr. Clarkson is a member of the social service department of the Toronto General Hospital rind lecturer in Depa.rI.ment of Hygiene

elude lectures, for the third medi- cal year at Toronto. dealing with the social aspects of medical prac- tice. A group of selected students were provided with an to study the medical problems of a family. The general objective was to make the studenis aware of how patlents' peraonai lives and domestic problems affect illness and how illness may give rise to family difficulties. Another alrn was to make the student aware of home conditions of hospital pat- ienia and let him know what com- munlty resources are available Io assist such families. It was hoped. in this way. to achieve close co- operation between the social ser- vice department and future interns and physicians.

Early in 1952 it was decided to in-

Flfteen students were selected to take the course of lectures accord- ing to their academic standing and their interest in social medicine. They were selected, also, because they would be returning to the hos- I pltal during their two-year period of trial study.

During the first period it wasi decided that the student should visit the patient at his home every film weeks. Thereafter the visits were less frequent and finally re- duced to one visit monthly except for emergency calls. After the calls. the student discussed the case with the social worker.

The patient was introduced to the student either by the doctor or the social worker who. in some ill- stances. accompanied the student! on the first visit to the patient?- home. i

"Evening conferences were held for the discussion and presentation of these cases at which students. physicians. social worker and a member of the Preventive Medicine staff were present." Practically”: every one of the students. of theiri

.own accord. chose to visit agencies;

within the community rrlat:-d lo. their patients' needs. including al Children's Aid Society, a Home for:

and others."'

sight into the needs of the patient and his living conditions. The pat- ients came to look on the student as a personal friend. counselor and iadvlser; and, naturally. the student acquired confidence in himself and his methods of treatment.

This group of students. as they kept a close history of their cases. reporting their work to the stud- ents of the oncoming years, would enthuse these senior sludenis with a desire to follow-up ilie study of the Social Aspects of Medicine.
