I'VE need more hospitals, more

FORE he said in a radio program
over WRC, broadcast from the Rcd
Cross Canteen.
Interviewed by Mrs. Nancy Os-
good, DR.. Parran praised the Red
Cross home nursing courses as
enormously helpful in the preven-
ton of communicable diseases"
There are few simple signs,
which if reported accurately to the
doctor, help him to decide If a sick
person should be seen at once" said
DR.. Parran. Every woman should
know how to take a tempera ture
and count the pulse and respiration
Any one with fever should be put
to bed. The home nursing courses
teach these things, and many other
valuable skills as we'll. To have
some one know how to follow his
medical instructions intelligently
and to keep the patient comfortable
relieves the doctor both in mind and
physical strain"

Gum in Richmond Circuit Court
here for permission to file a motion
to quash a complaint by l.. Preston
Collins of election irregularities in
Wise County, Va.
George E. Allen and Oscar Shew-
make, Col. Fenwick's attorneys, said
they will ask the court to set the
matter down for hearing at the
earliest possible date.
Mr.. Collins, who was defeated for
the Democratic nomination as Lieu
tenant Governor by Col Fenwick In
the August 7 primary, last week
was given an order by Judge Gum
allowing an inspection of the Wise
County election returns. An investi-
cation disclosed rs of the county
poll books missing, it is charged.
In Norton, meanwhile, Common
wealth's Attorney John Roberts Of
Wise County said that he is making
thorough investigation of the sit
uatlon in regard to the Is poll books.
At Appalachia, Wise County Clerk
j. A. Gardner said he had given Mr..
Roberts all the information he had
on the matter. Il am sure that Mr..
Roberts will take the proper action,
at the proper time, when he gets
the proper evidence" the clerk said.
He added that while two others be-
sides himself had a key to the Office
containing the books, ANY one
could have come in at any time.
The courthouse is public place and
any one could have come in and
taken them during Office hours" He
said he had no clue whatsoever as
to where the books are and that "it
doesn't look as though they are 60
ing to turn up"
Mr.. Collins lawyers found only
one poll book of returns from Wise
County. Clerk Gardner told them
that he discovered on August 8 that
the poll books we're missing. The
one book found contained no dis
crepancies, it was announced on
examination.
Mr.. Collins attorneys conferred
yesterday on future strategy and
also spent time interviewing indi-
