W. S. C. S. Protests
Closing On July 1
Of Seward San
SEWARD, — Objections to pro
posals for closing the Seward
Sanatorium on July 1 were voiced
by the WSCS of the Seward
Memorial Methodist Church.
The women pointed out that
Dr. James R. Shaw, chief of
the Indian Health Division of
the Department of Health, Edu
cation and Welfare, told the Sen
ate appropriations committee last
week that he believed $65,000,000
should be spent annually for In
dian health.
His present budget calls for
$40,000,000. The Seward wom
en comment: “What a small
portion of that $40,000,000 it
would take to hospitalize 40 or 50
TB patients at Seward San!”
Closing of the hospital is be
ing considered because the U. S.
Public Health Service is plan
ning to no longer contract for
care of native tuberculosis pa
tients.
If the sanatorium closes, all
Alaskan white tuberculosis pa
tients will have to be sent to
the States for treatment.

THE ONE THAT
ALMOST GOT AWAY
BENNINGTON, N. H., UP> —
Edward Hussey of Cambridge.
Mass., is a fisherman who can
boast of the “big one” that did
get away.
The state fish and game de
partment said Wednesday Hussey
reaently hooked a big rainbow
trout on Whittemore Lake in
Bennington—but his line broke.
As he watched the fish swam
away, Hussey made a quick de
cision. He jumped into the water
and grabbed the retreating end
of the line. At the other end
was a 5-pound, 14-ounce trout.

Should You Be A Nurse?
Few professions offer a young girl as much security, choice of
location, community standing and personal satisfaction as does nurs
ing. Yet few others demand the same high qualities.
What qualities and abilities does a girl need to be a professional
nurse? According to the National League for Nursing, she must have
the desire to care for others, to <
be of service to humankind. She
must be the type of person who
can give sympathy and under
standing.
She must acquire a thorough
knowledge of scientific principles
ana learn to apply these princi
ples in the nursing care of pa
tients.
She must have a mature, well
adjusted personality, essential
for establishing good relation
ships with patients, the doctor
and other nurses.
§he must be sound physically,
for v bile nurses have been re
lievei of much of tte manual
labor of earlier times, nursing is
still strenuous.
Will nursing schools take mar
ried girls? More and more schools
of nursing accept married stu
dents, and allow those who marry
during their course to finish.
Many, however, still adhere to
the traditional requirement that
a nursing student be single.
Others permit marriage in the
final year, while others simply
judge each case individually.
Marriage is one of the leading
causes of withdrawals from
nursing school. Before you decide
on a particular school you should
inquire about its attitude toward
marriage for student nurses.
The time to decide on nursing
as a career is while you are still
in high school, so that an academ
ic program giving the required
courses for admission to a nurs
ing school can be planned. All
professional nursing schools re
quire a high school diploma for
admission, and the usual age re
quirements are between 17 and
35 years.
If you do not qualify for a
school of professional nursing,
and you still have a strong desire
to be a nurse, you should consider
one of the schools of Practical
nursing. Preparation for Prac
tical nursing is shorter and less
expensive. Because of the heavy
demand, Practical nurses can
also be assured of employment
in a variety of fields.
Practical nurses are specially
trained to care for patients who
are not acutely ill, such as moth
ers and new babies, convales
cents, the aged and infirm and
patients with chronic or handi
capping conditions. Just as the
Registered nurse, the Practical
nurse may work in hospitals,
public health agencies, clinics,
doctor’s offices, nursing homes,
institutions, among others, and
in almost any part of the world.
Regardless of whether yo6
study to be a Registered nurse
or a Practical nurse, you will
have the opportunity to serve
your community with skill and
understanding, gentleness and
good judgment. You will gain
security, personal gratification
and an exciting new world.

Lack of Unified
Command Threat
To U. S. Safety
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.,
OP) — Military officers charged
with the aerial defense of the
North American continent are
convinced that lack of unified
command and rivalry among ser
vice branches are endangering
Continental safety.
These officers run the North
American Air Defense Command
(NORAD) which has the respon
sibility of protecting the conti
nent from enemy air attack.
, NORAD is composed of ele
ments from the U. S. Air Force,
Navy and Army, in addition to
the Royal Canadian Air Force.
One of its most vital jobs is
to act as the eyes for the Stra
tegic Air Command (SAC). SAC
does not maintain its own warn
ing system and depends on
NORAD for information that
enemy attack i s impending.
Then the massive retaliatory air
arm would go into action.
But NORAD’s high officers
feel inter-service rivalry and a
lack , of authority vested in
NORAD Commander Gen. Earle
E. Partridge seriously jeopardizes
the function and mission of the
organization. NORAD stands by
itself and is attached to no par
ticular branch of the service.
One ranking, officer who de
clined to be identified, said:
Sure, Gen. Partridge is com
mander but he can’t even hire
and fire the field officers as
signed to his outfit. They don’t
even have to tell him what they
are doing with their units.
