Chief Engineer Dies
On S. S. Catalina:

Avalon residents will be proud of tile
newly renovated, efficiently staffed
Catalina hospital. The Drs. Braslow
havo done wonders in making this in-
stitution oue.m be proud of" anywhere,
and one to give a feeling of confidence,
because of the complete and most up-
to-the-minute equipment available. The
entire hospital has been remodeled and
repainted, with emphasis being put on
the most efficient arranging of the
different sections. The waiting room
is painted in bright and cheerful colors,

Eric Lund, 56, who died suddenly of a
heart attack while lie was in the en-

conditioning the vessel for its first run
of the conling summer season. The
funeral services will be held Thursday

The very latest in correct heart
function analysis is assured by the
electro-cardiograph, which, in its early
development, was a rather large and
bulky device, and now resembles out-
wardly a medium sized portable radio.
Tile operation of this machine is quite
complicated, but the result of a test by
this machine in the hands of an ex-
perienced operator is quite conclusive
and almost infallible. It is invaluable in
cases where there are no heart sounds
to indicate an abnormal condition
through the better-known symbol of
the medical profession, the stethoscope.
An attachment to the electro-cardio-
graph pernfits the taking also of a
basal metabolism test.
A complete laboratory service in the
hands of skilled technicians is another
innovation offered at the hospital, and
is obviously very helpful in the diag-
nosis of many aihnents.
A giant X-ray machine occul,ies
most of the space in the very com-
plete X-ray room: It is one of the
newest of its kind, and can take photos
~[rom ahnost any angle. A complete
and modern X-ray laboratory is a
must in case of fractures, etc.
All the oht and out-moded beds and
mattresses have been replaced by late-
model hospital beds and full length
comforlable mattresses of regulation
size. The beds of course are adjust-
able.
The Drs. Braslow are justifiably
proud of their new operating- room. A
cold and efficient bright light is furn-
ished by a b:~tery of fluorescent lights

That he was highly respected by
his fellow employes is evidenced by
the fact that there never had
been any dissension in his depart-
ment and that during his term of
service he had been engineer on all
of the cross channel passenger steam-
ers operated by the Wilmington Com-
pany.
Genial, courteous, friendly, it can be
said of him, tie was efficient in his work.
thoughtful and considerate of others---
"a man's man among nlen".
To mourn his death there will be
many. Flags were also flown at half
staff on the general offices of the
Santa Catalina Is/and Company at Av-
alon.
Many beautiful floral tributes were
sent to the mainland Wednesday by
Avalon friends of the bereaved fam-
ily.
Otto Eric Lund is survived by his
widow and two daughters who reside
at 1036 S. Cabrillo avenue, San Pedro.
