The Ypsilanti daily press. (Ypsilanti, Mich.) 1928-1962, 1944-03-15

Part OF the money which Ypsi-
lanti residents are now contribut-
ing to the Red Cross will be used
in providing instruction for those
interested in helping to meet en-
Urgency situations. Ont OF the
most expensive courses and one
which has provided Ypsilantl with
sorely needed help, has been the
nurses aide course. This course Is
sponsored by the Office OF Civilian
Defense as a part Of its emergency
program but the Red Cross carries
the responsibility for all training.
This so hour course. given entirely
by registered nurses fits the trail
nee to work in civilian or military
hospitals or assist in any place
where a trained nurse Is in charge.
The Red Cross has graduated 10
classes of Nurse Aides since May
1912 and has trained SO women to
assist with the work at Boyer
Hospital. The Air Base Hospital.
The Washtenaw County Health
Center at the Housing Project and
to work with the Blood Donor Unit.
The Committee which has re-
cruited these women for service is
headed by Mrs. Harry T. Smith. as
sisted by Mrs. Harold Barss and
Mrs. Guy Kennedy.
The work of these Nurse Aides
has made it possible for Boyer
Hospital to run to capacity which
Is approximately as beds. The
shortage OF trained nurses would
have necessltated the removal of
many OF these had these women
not given generously of their time.
