It was after hearing radio ap-
peal for more Red Gross nurses
aides that Mrs. Nelson P. Rose vol
unteered her services. She tool her
training at Garfield Hospital and
served there for two years, and for
her outstanding work was appointed
assistant captain Of aides.
Since the work of the aides varies
in different hospitals, we asked Mrs.
Rose to tell us some of her duties as
an aide at Garfield. She found es-
pecially interesting the work in the
emergency room, where the aide Is
usually assigned to duty for period
of four months. Here she Is called
upon to assist the doctor with emer-
gency cases and to sterilize, wash
and retie the TRANSMISSION sets and
help with the blood donors who come
to the hospital to give blood for spe-
cific cases
There are always two aides on duty
in the emergency room, under the
supervision Of several graduate
nurses" Mrs. Rose said. After we
have cleaned and sterilized the
TRANSMISSION sets we must each initial
our own packages, so that If they
are not done correctly the response
bility is easily fixed"
In the cast room Mrs. Rose and
the other aides helped the doctors
prepare the plaster and put on all
types of casts. In the laboratory
they did briefing of case histories
for the pathologists and took die
tation from the doctors. In ad-
dition to this there were, Of course,
the standard duties OF an aide, such
as bathing the patients and in gen.
eral trying to make them more COM
Portable.
At the present time Mrs. Rose is
doing an administrative job for the
Nurses Aide Corps. She is one Of
the three vice chairmen for the
D. c. Chapter and as such is on
duty three or four days each week
in the Nurses Aide office in the
OAR Building. Here the aides keep
track Of all records-they have a
master file on the hours put in by
every night and day aide In the
District of Columbia.
Gast month there were 698 aides

Luther M Fuller, now definitely
cut OF the Army, talks freely
about the discrimination and
iil-treatment which colored
soldiers still suffer, he says,
despite the great volume of
protest sent to the War De-

Addressing the recent Ma
tional Baptist Convention held

Coored organizations, postal included will have

results in combating any reconversion to prejudice
within our nation One Of the strong points regarding

the economic interest of the railroad employees In
seeking to perpetuate the FEPC, Randolph hopes to
benefit all labor as a whole Nevertheless it seems
obvious that the oolored &C employee as WHOLE rep

FAIR DEAL WANTED

The Postal Alliance discussions that impressed
me most at this time we're the expressions of praise
for the FEPC and the necessity of action TO oppose all
unfair percentage discharge Of coIored empyes after
the war. In this believe, the members we're reaIis-
tic They can't stop all discharge that now seem i'm
minent should the war end soon. Nobody can But
since it has been policy to force ten percent of the
coored race to serve in wars it certainly seems
good argument to see to it for example that at least
ten percent colored should be hired retained by
each and every large employer including city, state
and federal, after this war; Even now, this minimum
percentage IS not attained. For example, it was
charged at the meeting here that there we're only
three coored postal workers in one large New York
area But it isn't Just postal workers who are vitality
concerned.
