Aymv Needs additional Nurses
To assure Ouy Men Best Care
By Betty Grove Smith.

Cross aides are taught never to ac-
cept any assignment for which they
have not been especially trained.
1t is the finest tribute that the
United States Army could pay any
group of volunteers when they ask
to employ them in Army hospitals.
And tribute well deserved, thinks
Col. Blanchfield.
This program will not mean that
all Red Cross aides will be paid,
it only means that to those women
who want to give full-time to nurs-
ing and to whom it is necessary to
earn living this offer is open.
Because of her interest in nursing
education and her training and
nursing background Col. Blanch-
field was asked by Mrs. Walter Lipp-
man to serve on the council of VOL
unteer Nursing Service. She is also
on the board of the National Nurs-
ing Council for war services-which
has brought together the various
nursing activities under one head
for the duration and six months be-
yond. A native of our own nearby
Virginia, Col Blanchfield grew up
in the Shenandoah Valley. She took
her training at the South Side Hos
pital in Pittsburgh and a post-grad-
uate course in surgical nursing. She
went to France in September of
1917 and was assigned chief nurse
of the nursing service in Camp Coet-
quidan In North Brittany. On her
discharge from the Army in 1919
she went back to Pittsburgh, where
she resumed the administrative
nursing position she held before
(See SMITH. PAGE B-00
Evening star., 1944-10-22

The Army needs 10000 nurses to
care for its soldiers. This number is
essential, say officials, in order that
the United States Army keep faith
with the public in seeing that our
boys have the best trained people in
the country to care for them. Until
that quota is reached civilian nurses
are being employed in Army hospi-
tals-nurses who qualify profession
ally, but who for any one of a
number of reasons, such as chill
dren under IA, home obligations that
require their presence here, some
minor physical disability that could
be better overcome in the pursu-
ance of duty at home than in the
field of battle, can not qualify for
military service.
Also the Army will utilize to the
extent of their availability Red
Cross Nurses Aides in a new pro-
gram by which the aides who have
completed $50 hours of hospital serv-
Ice may have full-time paid en-
ployment with civil service status.
1t was Col. Florence Blanchfield
superintendent of the Army Nurse
Corps, who explained to us just why
the Red Cross trained aides have
been chosen to supplement the work
of the registered nurse in military
hospitals.
A Red Cross nurse before she was
an Army nurse, Col. Blanchfield
knows as we'll as anyone the excel
lent training course which the Red
Cross gives its aides. She knows the
high caliber of the aides themselves.
She knows, too. and thinks this the
most important part Of all, that Red
