Nurses are like mothers,
They. TOO, dedicate their lives
toward helping the afflicted Of
all races, creeds. and colors. I
think the most beautiful of all
women is a good mother and
the next beautiful is a good
nurse.
During the coming summer
months at least fifteen Greater
Boston hospitals face a critical
shortage of nursing and Red
Cross volunteer aid. We're told,
from 500 to 1000 Red Cross
volunteers for various depart
ment services are needed. Fiji
teen hundrd Nurses Aids and
Gray Ladies are wanted for
training at once. Hundreds of
Greater Boston people can not
be properly cared for due due
to this current shortage of hos
pital help which may even
grow worse. Many women are
volunteering to serve, and all
those 10 years old and over and
in good health are welcome and
may join at the local Red Gross.
Here in Massachusetts, we
have one of the most world ia
nous and historic schools in
Harvard Medical, which. In
1945, lowered its last major
barrier, that against women
students. Now among SIP stu
dents at Harvard Medical to-
day there are II women and, of
six more accepted for 1913, one
is a colored girl. All this is add
ed proof Of the increased OPP
portunities for New England
women in the medical and sur
gical field, 1t should go long
way toward providing inspira-
ton and stimulus for colored
girl students along with white
classmates in choosing a sound
Christian career
For, speaking of women ply
sicians, the first successful cru
sader in this field was British
born Elizabeth Blackwell who
oyercame stern opposition and
established the first all-women-
stated hospital in New York
and a course of medical study
for her sex. Miss Blackwell
trained white and. colored alike
and a colcred woman, Dr. Re
becca Cole, headed her hospital.

Mother Was A Nurse, Too
By Abe Attacks

Mothers Day symbolizes a lasting life of patience,
sacrifice and service Our mothers seemingly knew every
cure for every sickness. Her steady hand white
bedsheet her soothing fingers our burning brow made
her forever in minds, the immortal Angel of Mercy
And whenever we in pain. III doubt, in fear we
called her name And she always there to comfort,

/ Lucia, BwI. We shall review it
later on.
But in his New York report,
Dir. Spenser tells you about a
famous woman physician, Dr.,
Mary Chinn, first of her sex to
be admitted as an inferno to
Harlem hospital which has a
mixed staff. DR.. Chinn is now
staff member of the afore-
mentioned N. Y. Infirmary for
I women and children and she is
affiliated with the N. Y. Memoir
ial hospital in cancer research.
There are other brilliant wom-
/ en- physicians in other states
making similar history. Medi-
cal science and research offers
vast possibilities to women to-
day as it has all through his
tory.
The real relation between
Mothers Day and hospital ser
vice is perhaps better appreci-
ated by war veterans. For since
the days of Florence Nightin-
gale many nurses have been
mothers" to many men and
many men have been "sons" to
many nurses. We have seen
many GI's totally indifferent
to proud gaily uniformed wom-
EN- of the various military SER
vices suddenly snap to rapt at
tention and enthusiastic re-
spect for the humble little la
dies dressed in simple pure
white. For these nurses sported
no medals, displayed no insig-
MIA of rank, but were more used
to daily blood and tragedy than
all the other uniformed ladies
put together. In war they wrote
history from Bataan to Berlin
and in peace they are still writ
ing history and they need your
help
I wish I could write the many
fine words about nudses which
I, like many men, planned to
do so often from a hospital cot.
Their brave little smiles, their
tender touch upon a wound,
their capacity to see above the
faults and to keep and inStill
a mans faith in God. Every
veteran knows what I mean.
Why say more?
Today we speak Of Living Mon
umentS by which we should
honor the great people we love
On Mothers Day Sunday there
will be music and speeches OF
great sentimental values
Mothers Day would never be
complete without them. For
those mothers now with US, ev-
cry possible honor should be
bestowed They will do varied
honors, from her favorite flow
ers and candy to a ride into the
country. A visit among family
and friends is a Joy to most
mothers. But perhaps hel
! greatest pleasure is to see those
she loves attain the life Of
Christian service for which She
has sacrificed her best years
And one of the greatest Living
Monuments a young woman car
establish in honor 0 fher moth
er is a service to humanity in
the hospitals of our nation
perhaps there will be young
women reading the GUARD
IAN today who will make this
resolve tomorrow. Those who
do SO will win the undying re-
Spect OF mankind.

HOUSEHOLD WORKERS FACE
BRIGHTER FUTURE

There is going to be better day for
household workers when new plans
now in the making materialize. A
survey on household employment has
just been completed BY the women's
Bureau, of the U. S. Department Of
Labor. The survey was conducted in
l9 cities, such as Chicago, St. Louis,
St. Paul, Minneapolis, Syracuse, Gin
cinnati and others. A complete report
of this highly interesting survey has
not been published as yet but a par
tial report is out and 1 believe it will
have far reaching effect.
1t is known that standards Of do
mestic work as proposed by agencies
in these 10 cities will be raised much
higher and the pattern will probably
spread throughout the country. While
studying this report fresh off the press,
| was reminded Of significant state
ment ensuing from the Women's Bu-
reau annual report for the year end
ing June 30, 1916. 1t was to the effect
| that - "historically-determined social
and economic factors have assigned to
women increasingly important roles in
the wage earning world Chief factors
the Bureau reported are, Q) The Ma
tion's need for the goods and services
made and performed by women; and
| ~ the need Of millions Of women to
support themselves or supplement the
family income.
1t occurred to the writer that if this
was a significant and important fact
with regards to women as a whole,
how much more important and factual
it is as regards Negro women, who's
husbands and fathers get only small
and inadequate incomes.
In the overall program of improve
ment for household employment, there
will be added considerable dignity and
security to the occupation. 1t was spe-
cited that forms of contracts be exc
cuted with provisions for holidays,
paid vacations and even sick leave.
