However, enlistment in the corps is not required of all student nurses. They may enter the nursing school and complete their training by paying their ‘own expenses, if they 80 desire. : Have Many Duties og That the opportunities are more varied, the training more intense,. and the responsibilities greater for
‘the. City .hospital’s students than
those in most private institutions is provén by the use of the nurses in every. phase. of. the “hospital’s work. - They are required to do more than wash a patient's face and hands and make him comfort-
able. They serve in the contagious,
and prison wards. They are on duty in.the admitting room where. they work on accident cases. They assist doctors in the clinics with Se x for eye, skin, nose and throat ailments. They {frequently care for as many as 45 patients in one ward. In reality ey operate
the hospital.
As Dr. Kenneth G. Kohlstaedt, assistant superintendent, said, “It’s no pushover, but when. they get through they can stand up and take it. That's the kind of a nurse the army and navy needs.” The hospital is equipped with a
‘complete nurses’ home plus a swim-
ming pool, tennis courts, lounges and library for recreation and relaxation. Dr. Charles ‘W. Myés, hospital superintendent, fervently hopes the young women of the city and state will answer the plea. But he wisely points out: “It takes a definite desire to want to help somebody to make a good nurse. So if they don’t want to be a nurse in the first place, they might just as well not try.” .

SOUTHERN CONGRESSMEN, now home repairing political fences, are keeping one eye cocked toward the supreme court.

Hope is that enough public sentiment will be created to force action when congress reconvenes.
JESSE JONES probably will have final word on whether distillers may resume liquor manufacture. It’s been put up to Defense Supplies Corp., of which he is chairman, to determine whether grain supplies
"are sufficient. War food administration is dubious about diverting
grains to liquor but probably won’t object if Jones and WPB Chairman Nelson give go-ahead. One plan would allow distillers to divert 10 per cent of production to liquor, using remainder for continuing -alcohol production. Alternative would give them limited holiday for producing only liquor. # » ” ” = ‘» HOME-FRONT NOTE: Weeks affer the coal strike some of the big steel companies report their output is still slowed because of it.
