.1uui0r Volunteers Lend Hand:
Help at Suburban HOSPITAL
By Betty Grove Smith.

Those extra pairs Of hands that
can be so useful now," Mrs. C. Al
britton calls the group of junior VOL
unteers which she has organized to
help at the Suburban Hospital in
Bethesda, Md.
1t was after reading about the
work of the Jangos-that splendid
group Of young volunteers from
service families-that Mrs. Albritton
was inspired to get together a SIM
liar group of high school age girls
to work at the new Bethesda Hos
pital. Most of the girls come from
the Bethesda Chevy Chase area, and
while some are from service families,
that is not necessary requisite.
Mrs. Albritton's offlcial title is
chairman of the Junior Volunteer
Services Of the Women's Auxiliary of
Suburban Hospital. The corps itself
is known as the Junior Volunteer
Corps and has its own officers with
three elected officers-president,
vice president and a combination
secretary and treasurer.
AS chairman Of the services, Mrs.
Albritton recruits, interviews, as
signs and supervises the volunteers.
The setup works something like
ths-the volunteers are first given
an application blank which must be
signed by their parents, and Ger
tificate Of health to be signed by the
family physician. During the school
term the school counselor must also
sign the application and certify that
the girls are scholastically in good
standing. The volunteers are then
given an orientation course consist
ing of lectures-one by the super
intendent of the hospital which gives
them an overall picture of the or
ganization and operation of the hos
pital. another by the superintendent
of nurses showing them how to do
many of the simple things that
make patient more comfortable,
another by the hospital dietitian,
one by the head of the laboratory,
another by the head of social service
Of the hospital and another on the
work of the X-ray laboratory.
The girls are instilled with the
idea that the work is not based upon
what 1t will do for them (although

it will do for the patient. They work
on four hour shifts-carrying trays,
filling water pitchers, helping out
as assistant typists, working In the
laboratory and the central supply
room. While on duty they are under
the direct supervision of the head Of
the department to which they have
been assigned. They wear cool
striped seersucker uniforms - look
neat and efficient, and are neat
and efficient.
Doesn't school affect the pro-
gram?" we asked Mrs. Albritton.
TO certain extent" she told
us, "but the program goes on after
school hours from 4 to 8 pm. on
school days and all day Saturdays
and Sundays"
The Albrittons came to Washing
ton about IL years ago and for the
past seven years Of that time have
made their home in Bethesda. Mr..
Albritton Is professor Of physiology
at the George Washington Medical
School-his wife, who was a chemist
before her marriage, Is q native of
New Orleans and a graduate OF Tu-
lane University there. For six years
Professor Albritton was visiting pro-
fessor of physiology at the Chulalon-

Auxiliary was born. Always in

GEORGIA OFFICIAL
FAVORS DISCOUNT
ON FOREIGN DEBT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-CP-
The theory that we can't afford to
allow foreign countries to pay their
debts to u.s. was advanced today
by Georgia's agricultural commits
sioner, Tom Under.
This is new concept of econo-
my, but the reason for it is sim
ple," Under told a reporter.
These countries pay off in
goods. Thus, every item imported
to our country cuts our production
just that much, because we limit
it In order to forestall SURPRISES.
"Our national income is sever
times our farm income. Therefore
it is seven times cheaper to give
away our good than to sell them
and accept imports in return.
"The only things we can trade
profitably are those which we dc
not have in abundance - and they
are mighty few because we have a
virtually complete economy with.
in our borders.''
Under offered his views when
asked about an international
agreement on cotton, which is ex-
pected to be proposed at the Ma
tional Cotton Conference opening
here tomorrow.
