Finally. ! will add that she
is an added blessing to the
medical profession, the only
profession the duty of which
is to prolong life and happi-
ness.
Many patients would die an
early life, without the Nurse
and the doctor.
THE DOCTOR AND THE
NURSE-PART III
Every time nurse or
doctor visit the home II Is a
constant reminder OF our frail-
tiles and imperfection and
when | think of the irritation
and nervousness, which these
two PROFESSIONALS cause. |
often wonder why they are
dealt with so gently, when
their very presence is a grim
reminder OF fatal possibilities.
When we see the lawyer and
minister, we never have the
same feeling Of sickness and
death as we do when we see
the doctor.
The doctor and the nurse
live and work right at the
threshold OF birth and death
and their duties are 10 sus-
tain life and promote physical
health and happiness. The
medical profession is the most
noble profession and those
who are members of this pro-
fession should be honest and
honorable gentlemen and
women.
Their Investigations ramify
the most personal life of an
individual and every nurse
and doctor are suppose to be
trustworthy and confidential.
They should be forever mind
full of the fact that whatever
information the patient gives
him OF her Of his private
life. is not for his own con-
sumption, but for his infor-
nation and should rest where
the patient leaves Il.
Doctors and nurses make
great sacrifices TO their own
lives and health and to the
lives and health of those
near and dear 10 them. when
they are associated with GER
tain diseases. This is the rea-
son ! am writing this article
The article which is 10 fol-
low concerns the most deadly
disease which is known TO
man kind and is often called
the Captain Of the Men OF
Death"
Therefore, be patient with
the nurse, be patient with
the doctor. because after all
they are silhouettes working
in the dark on the stage of
life. between life and death.
II you accept this informa-
ton, / am sure that il YOU
are stricken with tuberculosis
or any other prolonged in
durable disease. you will be
grateful for the services thev
render and perhaps you will
be more able 10 enjoy more
happiness 10 the health that
is allotted TO you.

she expected such a daring
move to be.
BEWILDERED
Lock. whose feelings are
kept within himself. can see
the slow disintegration Of their
marriage. He is berated by
his family and Belle who
proves the adage, Hell has
no fury ike a woman
scorned." He is disguised with
JOS patrchizing attitude and
attempt 10 protect him and
not hurt his feelings He
realizes that she is bewildered
by the whole mess and doesn't
quite know what to do about
it.
UNDERSTANDING
He finally finds under
standing in Melia, JOS poor
Jewish friend. and between
them they talk things out,
but even with her all IS not
we'll. Her family objects 10
his even calling al the apart
ment. Between the two Of
them they find a friendly
plane OF understanding be-
cause Of their art and frus,
tration. Melia is frank and
really helps Lock straighten
his viewpoint out in his own
mind.
The character portrayal Of

The novel takes the souls
of artists, mixes them win
the race question, intermar-
riage and the economic prob
lens Of life, and the result
is drama Of human beings
caught in myriad OF con-
flicting patterns.

that he or she should use
