Nurses Smile, Look Attractive

1t does your heart good to see these hundreds
of lovely American girls who chose this JOB instead
of one full of comfort and glamour
Believe me, the girls are proud and happy
about what they are doing and would not change
their places with the highest paid or the most
noted movie star in the world.
They have plenty Of glamour Of their own.
With their white uniforms, their hair beau
tifuly groomed and with their neatness and sweet
ness-they look as though they had just stepped
out of bandboX.
1t is Good for the boys to see pretty women
around. No matter how banged up boy is, 1t
seems to make him feel better.
Since D-Day, the nurses have seen scores or
wounded men pass through this hospital and many
nurses have been on duty is to 20 hours day
Still, they manage to find time to make themselves
look attractive and always have enough energy

there should be some way of our getting things

The head nurse, II. Comdr Heck, is woman
with soft voice. understanding blue eyes and
the kndest heart.
She is never too busy to make a personal case
out of every boy who comes into the hospital
She took me all over the wards and the off
GERS rooms and was able to see how everyone
face lighted up when she walked past their beds.
She knows all of their names and all about
what happened to them and about their families
and homes
How Comdr Heck ever had time to put this
hospital into proper shape in so short time and
also spend time talking with the boys, will never
know.
Her nurses are all young and capable and
many of them very beautiful.
