carrying a great part of the burden
today, in meeting civilian needs.
Public health nurses constitute the

out nurses, health departments
cannot operate Because many hos
pitfalls are overloaded, many sick
patients are being cared for IN
their homes by visiting nurses" DR.
Parran said.
That the Negro graduate nurse is
contributing to this important cl-
william nursing need is indicated oy
the increase of Negro public health
nurses on the sGaffs of official
health services and agencies. Their
number of serving in these capac1-
ties has almost doubled within the
last years the American Journal OF
Nursing reports. Negro nurses also
are employed in U. S. Public
Health Service projects, including
venereal disease and emergency
health and sanitation centers. 1t Is

BABY RENS REMIND WRITER
OF NEW YORK YANKS

The annual basketball tourna-
ment conducted last weekend at
the Butler YMCA disclosed the new
crop of youngsters, now being de-
veIoped, and who may eventually
see action on the Atlanta college
teams. These youngsters have a
long ways to go and plenty to
learn, but at least we can say, they
are getting off to a fine start and
are headed in the right direction.
If they stay in school and don't
get the swell they will be
the college stars of tomorrow. There
was no doubt among spectators
that Leroy Barnes was the big star
of the meet. This youngster has
fine collection of shots, but could
be little more alert for team
mates. cutting under the basket.
For all-around brilliant floor-work
and team work, the writer's pick is
Harry Nash, of the Majors. Nash is
not only a fine shot, but handles
the ball well and is an artist at
spotting his teammates, when they
are free under the basketball. An
other player, who moves the ball
with ease is Barrett, also of the
Majors. This lad has a little tenn
per, but is generally cool under
fire. Now a word about those cham

writer of the New York Yankees, in

coaches at the Atlanta colleges
would find a little more time to

resented by Donald Spence. brilliant
all-around athlete and Mack An
derson. With the track season ap-
preaching, the writer expresses a
frank opinion regarding the place
track occupies in the intercollegi-
ate sports program. While there are
notably exceptions, too many of our
high school and college athletic
officials go into for 'half-hearted-
~" It is not difficult for one to
understand why practically all OF
athletic funds are spent on foot
ball and basketball. Football is a
good business, and with efficient
management and good promotion,
may provide additional funds for
basketball and track What happens
in most cases, however, is that
when the track season rolls
around, there is little left for shoes,
uniforms and track equipment.
This writer is inclined to believe
that when the athletic budget is
worked out, early in the year, ade-
quate funds should be made avail
able for track. Backed up with a
better budget, the coach will find
it possible to get more men to try
out for the track team, instead of
limiting his squad to hand full
of "ready-made" stars.
