they carry out while on duty. Their
audience is the most critical of all
audiences. The mind as we'll as
the body has to have special treat
ment when one is i'll. Nurses are
taught that the needs of the pa
tent are their first consideration.
To be able to give the best possible
care to the patient, the nurse must
be physically and mentally fit. Good
health can not be too highly valued.
All good business men take an
inventory Of their stock. Do you
ever check up on your most valu-
able pOssession-your health? You
should, Find out from your family
doctor just where you stand on the
road of health or whether you are
wandering off the road. So many
of our traffic accidents happen be-
cause we do not observe the warn
ing signs. Likewise, so much of
our expense and suffering is due to
the fact that we ignore little warn
ing symptoms of nature.
It would be very interesting to
have some of you we'll folks write
in to this Bureau telling how you
managed to stay well. We know
some rule of health has been brok-
en- when there is sickness. Tell US
what you do as daily health habits
to keep up your vitality during this
heat wave.
Here's how our hospital patients
stand: Mrs. Beulah Stevens at
University Hospital has improved
sufficiently to sit up in a chair at
her bedside.
At Parkview: Mrs. Sally Bailey,
Fanny Banks, and Mr.. Andrew
Horton are getting along just
fairly we'll. No definite change in
the condition of the three men at
Veterans.
New patients at General are
little Curtis Stevenson in the Chill
dren's Annex, John Morris, who
was released month ago and re-
admitted last week, condition fair.
Mrs. Leah Peale is not doing so
well as we get ready for press.
Mrs. Ida Taylor is awaiting the
stork. Mrs. Margaret Price spent
four days in the hospital.
Mrs. Corrinne Pope was released
with her brand new baby boy.
Little Wenzil Miller has returned
home minus the streptococcus
germs which were troubling his
throat. They are very popular
germs, so you folks had better be a
little more hygienic about your
nose and throat this hot, dry
weather.
James Faison, Archie Owens,
Ray Dibrel and Rosalie Alexander
have been released.
The remains of one John Jen-
nings are at Glen Lake Sanitarlum
awaiting burial by the city. We
tried very hard the past week to
assist the Social Service Depart
ment out there to contact some
relative or friend of the dying man
without results.

Mr.. Cecil E. Newman, Publisher
Dear Sir:
l take this opportunity to thank
you for your splendid editorial,
"Poice Officers" in the July 9 is
sue.
1t is the belief of Commissioner
Barfuss and myself, the same as
you state, "Turpin and all other
peace officers are sworn to combat
vice and crime. That's what we
who pay taxes, pay them for and
that's what most of US expect them
to do"
Most of US, yes, and this police
administration knows that most
people, white or colored, are law
abiding and are deserving of atten-
ton. Rather than be Indifferent to
acts of lawlessness by the few in
comparison we shall make every
effort to rid your people and others
of the undesirables.
Believing Officer Turpin Of out
standing character we assigned
him to your district In law en-
forcement the Department of Pub
lie Safety shall not look to color of
the skin but to character.
Again, thank you.
Very truly yours,
G. A. Hackert,
