Good Looks

BY HELEN JAMESON

There's many a pair Of attrac-
tive hands guiding airplanes. Fan

that the only beautiful mitts in
the world were satin smooth, small
and dimpled Often they were USE
less hands; the best they could do
was to make rickrack or sew a
fine seam. Now, capable, express
i've hands are tops. They have
meaning in this topsy turvey
crazy world. Much more interest
ing say, than those of the Victo-
rian era, when hands were insipid
pink and-white affairs.
You can have long hands, tough
little hands, knuckled hands or
athletic hands they will get by be-
cause they impress one with their
strength and power. Our standards
change, year by year Time was

But we have plenty of hands that
are delving into engine grease,

to me-shows that we are making
progress.
GESTURES IMPORTANT
The shape and size of hands are
of less Importance than the man
ner in which they are used, be-
cause gestures display character
istics. They tell tales; so be care

clasped, feels like a dead fish be-
longs to the individual who is with
out poise or sympathy, W h {
thoughts concern only herself her
welfare, her pleasure. She lacks
friendly feelings. She is suspicious
She is calculating.
The girl who has fidgety hands
is no asset to the gaiety of the
party. She is constantly picking al
things with her fingers, flecking
imaginery dust from her clothes
toying with a curl, fussing with
necklace or bracelet. She is high
strung, never at ease, and there Is
no fun being with her because hel
restless fingers make one nervou.
She has an idea that she shoule
always be doing something witt
her hands not realizing that hands
are prettiest when in state Of
graceful repose.

prejudice paid very poor dividends.
The two white nurses further
agreed that two factors loom as
barriers that may block white nur-
SEES from enlisting in the army
nurse corps. First, the idea that the
war is nearly over: CD objection
from parents, husbands and sweet
hearts.
1.-THE boys know what the girls
have to face on the battlefield and
just don't want their loved ones
to experience those hardships.'
Mrs. Brannon said. 1T is a human
element"
ALL EMPLOYED
A check on the number Of avail
able Negro nurses in this area re-
vealed that all are employed or can
be employed if they want work
Opposition from local hospital may
further discourage nurses from
answering the army's call since
they are reluctant to release mem
bers of their nursing staff for war
duty.

army is acute and growing more SO

Inc failure OF Negro nurses to
respond Fundamentally was at
tributed to the army's insistence
of isolating Negro nurses in keep
ing with southern race tradition.
While there was no reported COM
plant about discrimination, men
in and out Of the service are re-
ported to have made bitter obiec-
lions against their wives, sisters
and sweetheart enlisting in the

cial segregation along with the
general hardships of the battle
field.

while all ID graduates of my

nurse service, they are not avail
able" said Miss Belva l.. Overton
Of Provident hospital. Most of

Another outstanding Negro nurse
recalled frankly the arlny's atti-
tude about Negro nurses in the
early stages of the war. Negro nur
ses wanted to join the nurse corps
then" said, but were restricted
ed by quota barriers. We resigned
ourselves painfully to those bar
rierS with the feeling that we
would not improve our services

Outstanding white nurses in this
area are aware of this underlying
sentiment among Negro graduate
nurses but admit they are in nc
position to break the anti-NegrC
racial codes that Negro nurses
must face in the army.
