NURSES START
DRIVE FOR
$4,000
Plan Three Memorials and
Expansion Of Emergency
Work

Development Of a new nursing
center by the Instructive Visiting
Nurse Society is one of the objects
of the campaign for $97 900 to meet
the budget for the next two years,
It was announced today.
There are now only two centers,
one in Georgetown and one in
Brightwood. The community cen,
ters are established so that nurseA
may not be forced to travel long
distances to reach cases and so
that nurses and supervisors may
become thoroughly acquainted with
certain section Of the city in
which they may be permanently
assigned.
Memorials Sought
The drive, which began yesterday
has already resulted in three sub.
scriptions Of 81 500 each to establish
the positions of three memorial
nurses, in honor of Senator and
Mrs. Henry Cabot Lodge, Epiphany
Church and Charlotte Hopkins
Blagdon.
Reports submitted today by team
workers composing the thirty.seven
teams engaged in canvassing the
city, show that support of the so.
ciety is entirely non.sectarian in ma
ture, 1t was announced. OF the
thirty-seven teams, seventeen repre-,
sent church organizations of every
denomination.
Another object OF the drive is ia
secure automobiles for emergency
work. In past years automobiles
have been donated to the society by
Mr.. and Mrs. Eliot Wordsworth, the
Kiwanis Club, the Rotary Club and
Doctor and Mrs. John Van Rens
salaer.
Work Praised.
The work OF the society was today
highly praised by Doctor John ID
Thomas, president Of the Medical So,
ciety Of the District, who said:
The Visiting Nurse Association
in placing at the disposal Of those
of moderate circumstances as well
as those who are dependent, the
service OF graduate nurses on a
part time basis, is meeting q de.
finite health. need in Washington,
Unfortunately the service is not
yet as well known as 1t should be
among physicians at large. They
are frequently at loss to have
adequate nursing care in the
families OF patients in moderate
circumstances where they do not
need a full-tine graduate nurse or
where they cannot afford one. "a
is a great help to the physician
and greater help to patients"

A revival Of sentiment for the

Increase in the personnel of the
traffic police in the city.
No constructive traffic legislation
was passed, however, because the
Senate District Committee was un.
able to agree upon a program. It
was also felt that the details Of reg

commissioners.
Many Senator's. however, are of
the belief that the situation ulti.

the District Commissioners will ask
for a further increase in the num-
Der of traffic policemen. It is taken
