fli u ONION NECKLACE Wearing an onion around the neck used to be fashionable—at least for cold sufferers. It’s easy to see why this old-time cold remedy has now been discarded. We can’t cure colds, yet, but we can reli we their discomforts . . . and avoid more serious complications by using the effective medications available today. But don’t use my medicines indiscriminately. When you’re ill, be sensible. Let your physician do the diagnosing and prescribing. Then, if he recommends medication, see us for quality prescriptions.

Nicolini, director of the Indiana Employment Security Division, today voiced concern over the serious shortage of professional nurses available for patient care. He said the need for nurses is great in Indiana as in all the states. A recent estimate by the Surgeon General’s Consultant Group shows that about 500,000 professional nurses - in the nation are not now active in their profession. Mr. Nicolini said that if a number of those who left the j profession were to return, the present shortage would be alleviated. He added that such returns would serve * the dual purpose of making better quality nursing care available to the (public and of maintaining the high standards of the profession. Mr. Nicolini offered the assistance of all the local Indiana State Employment Service offices to nurses willing to resume professional work. He said the Indiana State Employment Service will help them in any quest for hospital or industrial employment. He added that if the need is evident, the Employment Security Division will attempt to initiate a refresher course under provisions of | the Manpower Development and ; Training Act.
