HOME NURSE
BY Iona l.. TROTT
Red Cross Nursing Service
Assistant Director,
Written for NEA Service

Everyone sympathiZeS these
days with mothers whose hus-
bands are in the armed forces,
and who are bearing the respon-
sibilities of parenthood alone.
Fortunately the majority of wo-
men have sufficient mental, ply-
steal and spiritual resources to
deal adequately with their prob
lens. But there are others who
find the going very hard, and
who need great deal Of help
and guidance. This is particu-
larly true of the young wives
and mothers who are following
their husbands from camp TO
camp in an effort TO maintain
some semblance of home life as
long as possible.
We like to think that the
home nurses of the country are
rendering a particularly valu-
able service 10 these young wo.
men, by giving them friendly
advice and counsel, by lending
hand in the care Of their babies
and children, or in nursing them
when they are sick. 90"
FRIENDSHIP HELPS
According to statistics there
are at least 2,OOQ,0O women in
the United States who have taxi
en- course in home nursing.
They are equipped with know
ledge and experience that en-
ables them to care for. their own
families in health and in illness.
Most of them are able to spare
a little time for being good neigh
bors, and helping other women
who are less experienced and
less able than they.
If each home nurse would Of

friendly helper TO one young
wife or mother who is. far from
home and parents, think how

peace of mind of the men who
are forced to leave their wives
TO shift for themselves. Think
how far such friendly overtures
would 20 TO bring comfort and
security to thousands of homes.
| heard, not long ago, of q
home nurse who lived near an
army camp and had been so
moved by the need for help OF
SO many young wives that she
opened her home as social
center for them and encouraged
them TO bring their sewing and
their problems to her once Q
week. The friendliness and COM
partnership received there was q
blessing TO these girls who we're
far from their own mothers and
friends.

A lot of G. lis besides Mont
gomery think Dinah Shore is
wonderful. She's receiving thou
sands of love letters of appreci-
alton ever since visiting the west
ern front in Europe.
The G.. Is will see her new
movie, Internationars Belle of
the Yukon 1t will probably
play to S. r. O. when it hits
Paris and London.
But all the recognition Dinah
received from. that overseas trip,
the one thing she cherishes most
is a picture of herself on the
cover of the Vanderbilt Alumnus,
the alumni newspaper of Van
derbilt University, Nashville,
Tenn.
She went to school there and,
she chuckled, you gotta be
banker or daid or something to
get your picture on the cover"
