In Appeal
For Nurses
Over so Vacancies
At State Hospital
Says Or. YeFbuTy

Middletown, Feb. % An urgent
appeal for more graduate nurses was
voiced Wednesday by DR.. Edgar G.
Yerbury, superintendent at the Con-
necticht State Hospital here, who
reported that nursing service is at
its lowest point in some time. Well
over so vacancies exist on the nurs-
ing staff. according to Dr.. Yerbury
Because of the nursing shortage
many of the wards in the hospital
are critically undermined. Inc
superintendent reported that this
is particularly true in the reception
wards where new patients entering
the hospital are treated. These pa
tents, uneasy and not familiar with
the hospital life and routine, need
more attention than older patients
in the institution. In some cases in
the reception section one nurse at
night is in charge Of two large wards
and this is entirely too much for one
person, according to DR.. Yerbury.
The new salary scale for nurses at
the institution calls for a minimum
entrance salary of 81 800 yearly and
with many vacancies in the stan,
quick promotion TO supervisory posts
is assured qualified nurses. Excellent
living quarters are available for
nurses in the modern Nurses Home
at the hospital. built a few years
ago. Room. board and laundry are
provided for nurses living at the
hospital at a cost Of 1915 yearly.

by OH a 5000 foot runway but the
additional 1900 feet means an extra
margin Of safety. A representative
from a smaller city reported build
ing an airport several years ago TO
specifications recommended by the
Department Of Commerce. II was
obsolete before completion because
Of the increasing size OF planes.
Maintenance Costs High
Even when an airport is built and
paid for, it can cost a city lots OF
money. The Government was un-
able to give away a / million dollar
airport in a small town in Texas.
At first, the town was anxious to
obtain the airport, but when 1t dis
covered that it would take $4,000 a
year TO run it the Governments
offer was turned down.
Having an airport is like having
zoo or a library" one municipal
representative said. TITS nice
thing TO have because it adds pres
tige. But don't expect an airport
to pay its way"

Small Cities Too Enthusiastic
Smaller cities, with populations

Mr.. Richards said. Having an air
port. he explained, doesn't neces-

airline. That depends on the
amount of business an airline
thinks it can obtain from the area
Another problem is keeping up
