Registered Nurses
Increase Charges 10
Meet Cost Of Livinq
8-Hour Day Rote Boosted
To $6 and l2-Hour Fee
From $3.50 to 50

Registered nurses of Washington
have raised their charges for pri-
vate nursing service Ito meet the
increased cost Of living"
The advances are from IS to IS for
Pm 8-hour day and from $3.50 to
50 for a l2-hour day.
(The 20 per cent increase in
nurses compensation compares with
an approximate increase of 10 per
cent in cost of living from Decem-
Der, 1889. to November, l94l-the
most recent statistics of the Depart
ment of LaborJ
In explaining the reason for the
increase, Miss Edith M. Beattie. Sec
retary of the Graduate Nurses As
sociation of the District, pointed out
that the daily rate is not an ac-
curate gauge OF a nurses income,
since few of those doing private
nursing can hope to work every day.
Twenty days employment Is con-
Sidered q good monthly average, she
said.
Miss Beattie said rules of supply
and demand did not prompt the in
crease, despite the current general
shortage of trained nurses because
of increasing Army and Navy de-
mands. The rising cost of living was
discussed at the November meeting
of the association, and it was voted
the new rates should take effect
January /, she said.
Shortage Causes Concern.
The shortage of competent nurs-
ing personnel is a cause of increas-
ing concern among hospitals here
and throughout the country, how
ever. Because of the requirements
of the armed services, it has been
estimated that about $4,000 addf-
tional nurses are needed urgently in
the United States.
Miss Mary Hawthorne, whose
committee of the District Red Cross
Chapter has been handling nurses
applications for Army and Navy
services, reported that los local
nurses have entered the armed
forces through her group In the
past year.
She pointed out this number did
not represent all Capital nurses
leaving civilian work. For example,
some on reserve lists have been
called into active service directly.
Many Entering the Service.
MANY hospitals operating with
reduced stats are faced with the
possibility of losing still more nurses
to the Army and Navy" Miss Eliza
beth D. Coleman, chairman of the
G. N. A. Nursing Information Com
mittee, declared. Gold weather Is
bringing its extra burden of colds
and pneumonia to the already over
taxed hospital personnel"
A refresher" course for graduate
registered nurses who have not been
active in their profession recently
began yesterday at Georgetown
Hospital with about 10 enrolled A
similar class will begin February l
at Garfield Hospital.
Miss Coleman said young women
interested in entering the nursing
field should investigate courses
beginning February l at George
town and Sibley Hospitals. These
are for the full three-year training
program.
Women interested in any of these
courses can obtain full information
from the superintendents of nurses

Catch Big Percentage
OF Trout Placed in
Vermont River

Anglers who fshed the Battenkill
River in Vermont during the 1941
season recaptured 289 per cent of
the adult rainbow and 24.4 per cent
of the adult brown trout that had
been marked and planted in the fall
and early winter prior to the opening
Of the season. A somewhat larger
percentage (308 per cent? of the
yearling trout planted during the
open season was recovered, reports
Russell F. Lord, aquatic biologist Of
the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service, stationed at Pittsford, VT.
Continuing his report on the re-
suits of the creel census in the Ver-
mont test waters now under study
by the service, Lord estimates: IF
Battenkill anglers overlooked the
customary number of marked fish
in their creels the actual percentages
can be doubled. In any case the
recovery of marked fish was much
greater than in any previous expert
ment in Vermont streams"

Although the edict Of the OPA

are made for the annual sailing re-
gatta on the Severn in July. Writes
the commodore: "At the moment I

Only Few Of Several
Thousand Have Met
Requirements
Coast Guard and Police
Must Have Complete
Record of Croft
By MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.

With only a few hundred boats
registered thus far with the harbor
police, Capital boat owners had un-
til July l to file pertinent informa-
ton with authorities in order to
comply with District of Columbia
reg llaions governing the local wa
ter front.
Every craft af1oat in these waters
must be registered by that time or
face a minimum fine of IS, 1t. Otha
r. Sanders, newly appointed District
harbormaster, warned yesterday.
1t was estimated that several
thousand boatmen had yet to COM
ply with the 2-year-old District reg
ulation, which has no connection
with the registration of owners and
their craft required under wartime
laws of the United States Coast
Guard, 1t. Sanders said.
Not only the Coast Guard but also
Washington police must have
complete record of craft based in
this vicinity, information particu-
larly important in the light of the
wal, " Was SlItSScu.
The following information is re-
quired of each boat owner: His
name, address and home telephone;
the name of his boat, her length,
beam and registration number; the
type of craft and where based in
Washington.
Yachtsmen may apply either at
the harbormaster's office, Sixth
street and Maine avenue S,W., or
send the information by mail
Indicating the crowded condition
OF the local water front. it was
learned yesterday that only about
seven moorings are available in the
four municipal anchorage arease
here. The Washington Channel
area, which lies off Capital Yacht
Club, is filled. 1t. Saunders reports.
while only one place is left in the
Georgetown anchorage and six in
the two anchorage spots of the
Eastern Branch of the Anacostia
River.
Under District law, boats moor in
three lines in each Of the areas.
Craft under Is feet take the line
closest to the shore, boats between
26 and As feet take up positions in
a middle line, while craft As feet
and over moor in a line parallel
to the channel.

far as we know, was caught this
week at Cape Charles. 1t weighed
only 27 pounds, but it brought prom
ise of good, big-game fishing soon,
for the main schools never are far
behind the vanguard.
BY mid-June this typical Chesa-
peake Bay fish should be up as far
as the "Middles."
The average size of Chesapeake
cobia is several times that Of the
largest caught in. Florida waters and
all world-record catches have been
made in this area. Why so few
anglers fish for them is hard to
understand.
The first channel bass were
caught at Cape Charles nearly three
weeks ago. To date only small ones
have been taken, but because the
schools have left the North Caro-
lima coast, this week end easily
could see the start of "hot" bass
fishing in this section.
Stream fishermen have given up
easier than we believed they would
because of the gas shortages, If
that is the reason so few are to be
found along Frederick County trout
waters. All streams are above nor
NAL June levels, but that only makes
the going easier for the once-in-a-
while fisherman. All were crystal
clear on Tuesday.
Anglers everywhere are noted for
not cashing in on their large fish.
