doctors as professional ethics
require and made no comment
unless it was in support of the
doctors, the nurses said.
"Wherever we practice the pro-
fession of nursing we shall con.
tinue to be loyal to the doctors
with whom we are working
they added.
The staff nurses made it clear
that the economic security pro-
gram of their national associa-
ton is being put into effect all
over the nation, and the issues
have been settled in other hos
pitals besides the North Caro-
lima hospitals recently in the
news.
@The economic security pro-
gram is national in scope" the
spokesman emphasized. First
launched in California, it is al

trial December Is in Caldwell

VACATION BRINGS
ACCIDENT HAZARDS

With the arrival of summer va
cations danger to children being
injured by traffic while playing
and crossing streets has greatly
increased.
Warnings to both motorists and
parents yesterday went out from
Police Chief Hubert Hayes and
H. M. Rowland, public school
superintendent.
The two officials jointly declared
that greater care must be exer-
cised by motorists in watching
out for youngsters and parents
must teach their offspring to stay
off thoroughfares.
The school superintendent as
serted it takes time for the youngs-
tiers to adjust themselves in their
play activities as the result OF
having more time on their hands.
