Few Enter Trainina
To Fill Hospital Need
For Practical Nurses
By Thomos G. Buchonon

With hospitals clamoring for more
practical nurses to provide patients
with the bedside care, only % stu
dents have reported this fall tt
white nursing schools and 1876 can.
didates to the only colored institu-
ton.
The scarcity Of applicants fol-
practical nurse training is in sharp
contrast to the markedly heavier
enrolment in all local hospitals op-
Grating three-year courses for grad
uate nurses.
Hardest hit by the tagging interest
in the lower-paid branch of nursing
is Doctors Hospital, which last year
pioneered among local hospitals in
introducing one-year course for
practical nurses.
For Doctors third nursing class
which begins October /, there have
been only Is candidates accepted
so far, out Of 30 applicants. The
February class had drawn 60 appli-
cations, and 36 were accepted.
Puzzled by Lack of Quota.
Authorities at the hospital have
hoped for an equal number this fall
and are puzzled by the failure to
fill their class. The hospital gives
Its students free tuition, books, uni
forms, laundry and meals, plus ar
allowance of $500.
At the Burdick Vocational School
enrolment is up from 10 last fall
to IA this year, with three more
applications yet to be studied.
The handful of students Is neg
| ligible, however, when 1t is con-
sidered that Gallinger, Episcopal
Casualty, Providence and Homeo-
pathic Hospitals have agreed to take
the students after they have had
some academic training for further
practical study of actual patient
care.
Burdick authorities say they coulC
take about IS students with present
facilities. The school has only one
full time practical nursing instruc-
tor.
School officials say they do not
anticipate any large number OF
candidates until the District passes
law requiring minimum standards
of training of all who practice the
nursing profession. At present
practical nurses are unlicensed.

The only real progress in practical
nurse training is taking place at
the Washington Vocational School
where enrolment of colored stu.
dents Is up Is per cent from last
years 156. OF this years students
70 are day pupils and 125 attend
night classes.
Gsllinger already is training II
graduates of last years vocational

They are given five months ware
training at the municipal hospita
after completing their academic
work. After this practical training
they will be eligible for jobs al

The Washington school has foul
full time instructors for its evening

A fire in the basement of the law

The blaze, which sent black smoke
billowing in the air, was confined
to concrete-walled room contain
ing an oil heater for the building
Two fire trucks of the Upper Marl-

Fight tuberculosis with Christmas Seals

Your holiday mail brings you Christmas
Seals bearing red double barred right
here in Seattle and King County.
A Danish postal clerk thought of the idea
OF a seal to raise funds for health Worrying
about some sick children as he busily stamped
letters, he thought, eff everyone would buy an
extra stamp for each letter, we could build a
hospital" King Christian approved the idea,
and thousands of health stamps were bought in
Copenhagen in 1904 That was the first Christ
mas Seal Sale
The idea soon spread to other countries.
letter bearing health seal reached Jacob Ris
in America. He was so impressed with the idea
that he wrote story about it for the Outlook in
1907
Emily Bssell of Wilmington, Delaware, dis
tressed over lack of funds for tuberculosis work,
took hope from the story and designed Ameri-
cas- first Christmas Seal. The printer agreed
to wait for his money. The postmaster helped
her set up table. But sales Jagged.
Refusing to give up, Miss Bissef went to
the Philadelphia North American.
Greatest human interest story of 1907!''
exclaimed Editor f. nValkenburg And
the newspaper 'put over" the first Christmas
Seal Sale in America
In Atlantic City in 1904 doctors and laymen
organized the National tuberculosis Association
to study tuberculosis and to inform the public
about the disease.
In Seattle, the Anti-Tuberculosis League of
King County was founded in 1909
Now i'll every state in the Union and many
foreign countries, Christmas Seals are sold to
finance the work of the local. state and national
associations. Many gains have been made The
death rate has been pushed back from first to
seventh. But tuberculosis still claims more lives
between the ages of 10 and Al than any other dis
ease.
When you buy Christmas Seals, you car
~ on the hard fight, the good fight against tu-
berculOsls. When you use Christmas Seals, YOU
spread message of health, hope and goodwill
to mankind.
Let us-more of us-buy more Christmas
Seals this year.

RUSSIAN UNITED STATES CONTROVERSY
IN KOREA
KOREA.

KOREA,
which was part of the Japa-
nese empire ever since 1910 when
the peninsula was formally annex
ed, Is today in the limelight Of
world political stage. For since the
capitulation of Japan and under the
subsequent surrender terms. Korea
was finally freed from her 50-year
dominance by Japan and promised
independence sin due course" by
the Allied powers.
However. this Korean peninsula
has become a political battle-ground
between Soviet Russia and the
United States. Shortly after the
surrender of Japan, Russia occu-
pied the northern half of Korea,
while American troops under Gen.
eral Hodge made headquarters II,
Seoul. An arbitrary line was drawn
at 38th parallel to divide Korea in
to nearly equal parts.

relationship has been on the
edge ever since the occupation will,
both factions unwilling to give in
to the other. The Cnited States
insisted that all Korean political
factions be permitted hand in a
democratic Korean government
while the Russians have countered
by saying that airy who opposed
the Allied trusteeship should be
barred.
The Koreans themselves say that
about 95 per cent of their people
do oppose the trustecship plan
They want their independence i'm
mediately.
AN AMERICAN
showdown with Russia came last
week when the 57-nation political
committee of the United Nations
assembly approved a broad Ame-
rican program designed to lead
Korea to independence. This reso-
luton was presented by the Anne
rican delegate, John Foster Dulles.
The committee voted 46 to O to
create a nine-member commission
which would supervise Korean e,-
ections before March 81, 1913 and
prepare for withdrawal of Soviet
American occupation forces within
80 days.
The program was voted in the
face of an announcement that the
Soviet bloc would boycott a United
Nations commission created to su-
pervise general elections under Sc
cretary of State Marshall's plan
for Korean independence.
THE UNITED STATES
plan was adopted after the DO
litical committee had rejected by a
vote OF 20 to a Soviet resolution
demanding complete withdrawal of
all United States and Russian troops
from Korea by next January L.

Administration
Thousands of people in the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area have been
planning to repair, remodel or i'm
prove their homes and other prop
critics ever since the war ended.
In some cases repairs have be-
come a necessity. In other cases
the house or other structure can
be remodeled so as to provide addi-
tional living accommodations for
veterans and their families.
In any case such work costs money
usually more money than the
property owner has income. This
brings up the question of how to
get the funds to finance the ini-
provements.
More than 100000 home owners
have found simple and convenient
way under the so-called Title I
Program" of the Federal Housing
Administration. The money is sd-
vanced by lending institution,
which in turn is insured by FILA
against loss. FHA itself lends no
money. No down payment is re-
