Nurse Center
Planned Here
AS Memorial
Would Be Tribute
To Women for Port
Played in War

Plans for Nurses National Me-
mortal, tribute to the heroic nurses
of this war, to be built here in the
form of a social center and tenn
porary residence for medical women
of the armed forces, were announced
today by Mrs Norman T. Kirk, wife
Of Maj. Gen. Kirk, surgeon general
OF the Army.
Mrs. Kirk, who served as an Army
nurse during the First World War,
conceived the project, and she dis
closed that an organization formed
to establish it would launch a
Nationwide campaign to raise 81
100000 to cover the cost of con-
|struction and to endoW the memorial
building.
The Nurses National Memorial,
Mrs. Kirk explained, will have sleep
ing accommodations for at least 300
women, a library, assembly rooms,
living rooms, dining room facilities
and lounges. 1t is hoped to endow
the memorial so well that nurses
may enjoy its facilities ut extremely
low cost.
$4,000 Eligible.
More than 10000 women will be
eligible for its privileges. The memo
rial has been incorporated and leg
islation will be introduced in Con-
gress for charter. MIS-. Harry S.
Truman is among the leading women
and men of Washington who have
indorsed the plan. Those who are
backing it include Gen. Kirk and
Vice Admiral Rose T. McIntire, sur
geon general of the Navy. Mrs,
Kirk and Mrs. McIntire are CO.
chairmen of the Memorial Fund
Committee
After the last war, Mrs. Kirk
pointed out. memorial was erected
in Arlington National Cemetery to
the medical women of that war.
I'VE believe" she added, the
thousands of self-sacrificing women
who served in this war should be
rewarded with a practical memorial
more serviceable than monument
of stone. The great need for such a
living memorial in Washington has
been recognized. The many thou
sands of medical women have no
headquarters in the Nations Capital
and many are forced to stop at
crowded, low-priced hotels with poor
accommodations. Will they be for
gotten? What is more fitting for
these heroic women than to provide
real home for them in our Capt.
Ital?"

along. Of course, cash Dement'S

Security for the Family.
War casualties, many like Toms,
have brought new strength and
meaning to the Federal social in
surance program. Although the So
cial Security Act celebrated it's
10th birthday in August, this strik-
ing fact has, until recently, escaped
general notice: Cash benefits are
payable each month to qualified
parents. The familiar blue social
security card which almost all OF
us carry means family insurance
Paradoxically, the program which
has long been considered primarily
individual security for old age is
now recognized as family bond.
In recent months, particularly, in
tervieWers at local Social Security
Board officers have been busy tell
ing older men and women how to
get benefits. Mr.. and Mrs. Richards,
who hesitantly came to one of the
larger Offices few months ago, are
typical. Their story was simple
and virtually unspoken-for Mrs.
Richards, repressing her tears,
merely showed the interviewer the
notice from the War Department.
Their only son John had died fight
ing for his country. On the basis
of the application filed by Johns
mother and father the board con-
cluded that both had been depend
ent upon their son and were there
fore each entitled to a parents ben

wages of $3.50 for the nine years

mother and father would each draw

expenses and keeping up their home
Mr.. Richards, age &c, received his
first check as soon as the board re-
viewed his claim. Mrs. Richards,
age "a, will receive an equal amount
when she reaches 65.

There's a big maple outside the
barn. The murderer is in it-look-

kill him because he is afraid Of what
those films may show. I thought
that the murderer might come back
for something in that darkroom.
And that maybe Danielle and had
