something, and now we are going
to have the story where we car
look at it from now on"

Health Frontier
BY KERR

South America on a job nj one has
tried before.
She is the directress of nurses
of the Standard Oil Co. (New Jer-
sey), a newly created position
which will place her in charge of
the nursing service in II base
hospitals as well as a number OF
field hospitals, out patient clinics
and first aid stations which the
company maintains in its oil field
areas in South America.
Her job will be to raise the
nursing standards in those places,
confer with nurses, arrange class
es to train nurses aids and order
lies, find out their problems and
in general to act as the nurses

of her work will be in the field,

in relation to its fields" Miss Wag-
ner said. "Then it clears the jungle
and builds the town. The medical
department is in charge of the sew

food and everything pertaining to
health. Besides this we are re-

workers. We long since have pass
ed the place where medical care
meant simply first aid. Now 1t Is
not only a matter of preventive
medicine but of constructive medi-
cine - that is, the Improvement
Of general health. I shall be work

and Aruba Gan island off the Ven

prospect of talking on that sub

entire weekend.
She was born in Montgomery,
Pa, the daughter of a machinist,
trained at Presbyterian Hospital
in Philadelphia and then remain
