Article on back states: "'No.1' Goes Home: The first patient to be transported to University Hospital by the new hospital on wheels was discharged recently. It was a bit of a bore for three-month-old Christopher Calahan who slept through most of the commotion. Family and friends were there to greet the baby and his parents, and the hospital staff prepared a special send-off for him. His doctors and nurses outfitted him in a scarlet red suit, bearing a large white 'No. 1.' The baby's two older brothers who had never seen him before were wide-eyed and enthusiastic as they got their first glimpse of the addition to their family. Little Christopher, born prematurely at the Phelps County Memorial Hospital in Holdrege, was brought to University Hospital early in January because the Holdrege Hospital was overtaxed with a flu epidemic at the time. The child has now returned home to Fort Riley, Kansas, with his parents, MSGT and Mrs. Donald Calahan."
