Former Nurse Heeds Call
Refresher Course Student Urges
Return to Tosks in Emergency

The chance to hear our DR.. Cot3
and DR.. Kaufman In classroom was
OF inestimable value to me. They
certainly know their subjects. I mark
each one 100 per cent as my teacher.
OF considerable interest to me was
the comparison Of the nurses train
ing school OF today with what We
had in the good old days OF 1919
1922. II I had 1t to do over again.
I'd take 1t now, too. I would still
feel confident that was on the right
track. The reasons are; First. no
other field offers woman 30 much
knowledge which she can use In her
own home for the benefit OF her
family; second, because Of It's human
touch; third, it prepares her TO spe-
cialize. Oh yes, the sky's the limit
mot for me, as I weigh about 200
pounds but we do have some slick
airline hostesses.
Helped Children.
I have made new friends and re-
newed old friendships. Nothing else
would have given me this opportun-
ity in that length of time. I really
did enjoy my stay at Sibley. My
neighbors and friends here say that
I look 10 years younger.
Last, but not least, In my gains
this summer Is the improvement OF
my youngsters. They have self
reliance now. We appreciate each
other and old things have sort OF
become new to us. 1t really Is
grand feeling to be missed and not
taken for granted. I feel amply re-
paid.
Since my return on August Is I
have been quite busy canning, pre-
serving and making ready for our
winter fare. I'll need several weeks
to put my house in order and to put
the finishing touches on my garden.
BY the middle of october I am sign
ing up for general duty. It's the
only way I'm able to do my bit.
Come, girls and join me, We old
timers get into harness again.
The load will be just little lighter
! for the younger generation-for
those who are now in training, and
those who expect to be soon. We
can come back so that others will
be free to go to far of places with
the armed forces while we keep the
home fires burning" We must show
by example the stuff which nurses
are made of. You, in your small
corner-I, in mine. The need Is
great. We all know this.
Permit none to say that we are
laggards, lazy or useless. We can
and we will march forward with zeal
and couraee. Good luck to you all.

It's Not True;
Career Girls
Can Cook
BY HELEN ROWLAND

I'M AFRAID that picture
Woman Of the Year" starring
Katharine Hepburn, is going to
Brighten men away from marry
ing career girls and brighten
career girls away from learning
TO cook.
Yet, in these days. most men
will have to get used to the idea
of marrying career girls who
can keep the home fires burning
while the men win the war. And
working wives may have to cook
and like it!
BUT, CHEER up! Not all girls
who are at home in a business
office are as helpless in a kitchen
as the lady columnist in the
Hepburn picture.
l know plenty of successful
career women and efficient
working wives who are as skilled
and clever at manipulating a gas
range and frying pan as they
are at manipulating a drawing
pencil. a typewriter or ledger,
and who can plan a meal as
brilliantly as they can map out
a novel or a selling campaign.
And they love il! They can
get as thrilled and excited over
mixing a cake or a salad as they
can over making up a magazine
or designing a hat. Or writing a
column. Why not? Women are
natural born homemakers, and
puttering around a kitchen is
simply reverting to type.
BUT If not all career women
are as stupid about kitchens as
the one in the picture, not all
kitchens are as terrifying as
Spencer Tracy's electrified bach
elor-kitchen in the same play.
Why must man have so many
gadgetS N play with
That kitchen. in which the
stove lid flew up and hit you on
the chin. the toast popped out
and tried TO bite you, and the
different motors sounded like a
boiler factory. would have
frightened a magician or Ring
ling lion. You felt that if Miss
Hepburn touched the wrong but
ton. she'd be electrocuted, right
before your eyes. 1t was men,
acing!
THE MODERN kitchen seems
10 have become a miniature fac
tory, and the modern woman
must be a good mechanic before
she can be a good cook. She
must also be a scientific dieti-
tan. and the term Kitchen
mechanic" is no longer a joke.
It's an honorary title.
Yet, l have seen a hard-work-
woman editor turn out beau
tiful meal of broiled chicken,
French fried potatoes and Wal
dorf salad with only one small
electric grill, spoon and a
kitchen knife "a meal that
would make you wish you were
"the man who came 10 dinner"
some of the best cooks hate
"gadgets." Those gadgets para
lyze their genius.
STILL, IN these days. when
all Of us are studying dietetics.
cooking is much pleasanter and
simpler than il was when grand
mother felt that she must serve
a lot of fried things, hot breads
and rich desserts. Men must
have had cast-iron stomachs
then.
No wonder there were so
many widows. Husbands died
early. But now an enlightened
girl can be welded TO her job
and her man without feeling like
n bigamist. No career girl is too
stupid 10 be kitchen mechanic.
