Red Cross To
Conduct Home
Nursing Classes

A new series Of courses in Home
Nursing to be held at American
Red Cross Headquarters, Detroit,
this fall has been annouced by Mrs.
Bruce Douglas, Chairman of Home
Nursing Service of the Detroit,
Wayne County Chapter, ARC.
The month of September will be
devoted to the enrolment of Is
600 persons in Home Nursing class
es. Emergencies of reconversion, "
the Red Cross says, give this
training added Importance in the
home, first, because of the critical,
continuing need of graduate nur-
SEES; second, to help the returned
Servicemen in the home in cases
where further convalescent care is
needed; third, the girls who expect
to marry as soon as their fianceS
return become better home makers
and health builders; and fourth,
it aids the still busy doctor"
Two courses have been scheduled.
The Long Course consists of one
two-hour lesson a week and the
Short, accelerated course consists
of six lessons. In the latter the
student learns the simple basic
Skills in the home care Of the sick.
Call Cadillac 1900 for further in
formation and enrolment.

The major was the mathemati-

pointed out to me one of the
hands he kibitzed at the tourna-
ment which was played accord
ing TO mathematics, and Baldwin
thought the result would have
been better if the declarer had
used his wits"
Several players figured the
percentage was $3.50 on spade
finesse. However, when the de-
clarer finessed the queen, the
club was returned and now once
again he had to take finesse
and his contract was defeated.
Baldwin pointed out that if the
declarer had just gone up with
the ace and led a diamond. dunn
my's two losing clubs could have
been discarded on the two good
hearts and the contract made.

BOOK
REVIEWS

Joseph Wechsberg, Czechoslo-
yak fiddler, journalist, and rae
onteur extraordinary, plays for
you on his global G-string gay
and lifting tune in Looking for
a Bluebird' (Houghton Mifflin:
$2.5O). The publishers have
awarded him their Literary Eel
lowShip, and no one will quar-
rel with their judgment.
Born In Prague, Wechsberg
studied at the Vienna Conserva-
tory of Music and the Sorbonne,
and at ID made the first of his
trips around the world as violin
list in a ships orchestra. His fell
low musicians were of all ma
tionalities, shapes, sizes, dispo.
sitions and degrees OF tempera-
ment. For instance, there was
Franzl, the bank clerk, whose
passion was finance. He collect
ed ticker tape and Manhattan
telephone directories, and Wall
Street TO him was seventh heav.
en-. Or Sebastiano, the ever
sleepy piano player who was
so clever at switching from one
passengers temporarily empty
state-room to another for
snooze that each concert was
delayed by the frantic search for
him. And, when located, he
could be awakened only by
pouring ice water down his
throat.
THE SOULFUL VALET
There was Nam, the Indo-C Chi
nese boy of aristocratic family.
who stole aboard 10 be the mu-
sicians' valet, largely because he
loved "Humoresque." And the
High Voltage Lady, a passenger
who insisted on singing the aria
from "Tosca," but was crossed
up when the pianist Intentional
ly played his accompaniment a
key too high. q
Adventure follows on the
heels of misadventure; Wechs-
berg's violin collapsed because
Of the high humidity of the Red
Sea, and there was the matter
Of piano that went overheard.
Nor was all the fun at sea; the
authors "reminiscences of his
days as a claquer at the opera
provide some OF the best stories
in this altogether enjoyable
book.
