PLAIN TALK
HOW TO TELL A STORY
BY Alfred Segal

HOW TO TELL "A STORY
My friend Jim Allen 1--WE work
on the same daily newspaper. he
being the city editor] started to
"a couple of Jews =" he
began.
I raised a warning hand. like
the traffic cop at the corner:
stop! Jim. is it absolutely neces-
sarY to hang funny stories on
Jews? You Of all people. Jim!"
I could speak that way to Jim
not merely because some of his
best friends are Jews, as the say
ing goes. Jim's youthful associa-
tons had been quite Jewish. His
family had lived in a Jewish
neighborhood and-what do you
know?-Jim went along to He
brew school with the Jewish kids.
He picked up Hebrew and Yid-
dish words and he utters them
without straining.
So It hurt me to hear Jim Allen
starting to tell a funny story
about a couple Of Jews. like
goYirn who are far less under
standing than he.
'You too, Jim!" I felt
should give him lecture. I had
wanted to lecture other Gentiles
on the same subject but always
gave it up as a useless job. But
to Jim Allen I could speak to as
another member of the Anshe
Giborim schul.
Only the other day a fellow
stops me to tell me about a Jew.

Major discussions to come be-
fore the convention will be
Approaches to Center Program

the Challenges of the Day." The
delegates will also undertake an
appraisal of how to make Centers
more effective instrumentalities
for serving the total community
in the light of their role as a
force for democracy and good cit
izenship. The program calls for
a searching examination of the
Center's place in furthering an
appreciation for the democratic
way of life through their forums,
youth councils, recreational facil-
tiles and informal educational
programs.

Washington Sonitorium to Give
In-Between' Nurse Troininq

which they have been fitted by
present high-level nursing train
ing.
The spokesman said the pro-
gram was expected to appeal par
ticularly to unframed women who
are forced to support families, yet
who are willing to take more or
less menial jobs. He pointed out
this class of women would be
more inclined to remain with the
hospital than their younger, grad
uate nurse colleagues who marry
or who seek travel or better jobs
while still young and single.
Decided Following Council.
Decision to start the program at
the Washington Sanitarium was
reached after the recent Cleveland
Fall Council of the Adventist
Church.
The spokesman said preliminary
reports from institutions where
the program is now in effect in
dicate the output of women capa-
BILE of performing some nursing
duties will be more than doubled.
The training program planned
for Washington Sanitarium would
be more intensive than practical
nurse training, the spokesman en-
phasiZed.
Among details still to be worked
out is the distinctive uniform
which the hospital plans to pro-
vide for trainees and graduates.
Washington Sanitarium, like all
other hospitals in the area and
the country, is faced with a
chronic nurse shortage. However,
the spokesman said, it is not now
as acute as in some other institu-
tions because the hospitals gradu-
ate nursing training school has
been filled nearly to capacity.

Washington Sanitarium is plan
ming to train vocational nurses
as part of a Nationwide program
by the Seyenth-day Adventist
Church to combat the critical
nursing shortage. it was learned
last night.
Candidates will be given a one
year intensive course in theoretical
and practical nursing and awarded
a certificate of vocational nurs-
ing" on graduation.
Aim of the program is to estab-
lish an ''in-between" nursing
classification, with graduates able
to take over some of the SIMPLER
professional tasks of registered
nurses on plane higher than the
present practical nurse or the
nurses aide.
Date for the beginning of the
program at the Washington Sani-
tarium has not been set. but a
spokesman indicated the first class
probably would start next Septem-
ber.
Similar programs. now under
way in Adventist colleges and hos
pitfalls in four States. have at
tracted heavy enrollments.
Under the program. women
would be eligible for training if
they had completed two years of
high school. They would be given
four months of academic work and
eight months of training IN the
hospital wards.
Advantages of the program, as
seen by Adventist sponsors. are:
/. 'Trainees would be unaccept-
able to the services, to private in
dustry or to other groups compet-
ing with the hospitals for grad
uate nurses.
2. Emphasis would be placed on
recruiting women in the 20-to-40
age group: women who would not
be inclined to seek further educa-
ton to qualify themselves for pro-
fessional positions.
Basic Nursing Duties.
3. Trainees would be sufficiently
schooled in basic nursing duties
to do many of the tasks now
necessarily performed by over
worked registered nurses. The
graduate nurses then could be
freed to perform the administra-
tive and supervisory duties for

Police Specialist Call!
Victims Of SwindIers
|'Larcenisfs al Heart

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 10 tNANA) -
The people who fall victim to con-
|fidence men and swindlers usually
are "larcenists at heart them
selves" hoping to get something
for nothing, or at the very least,
to get 1t wholesale.
That declaration comes from a
man who knows, Police Sergt,
Robert T. Heckel, instructor in the
police academy here and a special
list in criminal investigation. He
disclosed some of the tricks the
"con" man pulls, and why they
work so we'll.
A successful swindler must be
able to look his prospective VIC
tim squarely in the eye and tell
the biggest lie possible, Sergt.
Heckel said. Then he doesn't give
the sucker time to think.
Old Tricks Still Good.
Most popular of the con"
games pulled here is the pigeon
drop" but the old badger game"
is still around too, Sergt. Heckel
said. The pigeon" dropped may
be a billfold, a briefcase full of
bonds or a package of important
papers. The swindler finds" it
in the presence of his victim, Of
fers to share the find if the victim
can put up evidence of his good
faith"
A st. Louisan fell for that not
long ago, putting up $4,000 as evil
|dence of good faith. She was left
with a bag supposedly containing
$1,000, while the swindler de-
parted with her $4,000 on some
|pretext. When he didn't return
she found the bag had been
switched and she was holding the
bag" literally.
Victim Dies of Shock.
A more subtle variant was the
retired businessman with a young
man he'd met recently when the
latter found" a brief case with
stocks. The two went to return it
to the "stock broker" whose name
was inside.
They refused a reward offered
but accepted a stock-market tip
the businessman putting up $780,
900 ito make a killing" 1t turned
out he was the killing. He died of
shock when the two swindlers dis
appeared with his money.
The badger game" described
by Sergt. Heckel involved a st.
Louis druggist who succumbed to
an attractive woman customers
flattery, was caught in a compro-
missing situation by her irate hus-
band and friend, and lost his store
and his house to keep the hus-
band from turning him over to
the FBI.

Swiss to Continue
Subsidy for Guides

BERN, Switzerland.-The Swiss
government has decided to con-
tinue its 80 per cent subsidy to
mountain guides to save the pro-
fession from extinction.
Some members of the Swiss
Parliament protested against con-
tinuation of the subsidy, which
was introduced last summer at an
annual cost of 100000. They
claimed that the subsidy bene-
flied less than one-half per cent
Of Switzerland's foreign visitors
and might well be used to the
more general advantage Of the
tourist industry.
Justifying continuation of the
subsidy in a parliamentary re-
port, the government said the
profession of mountain guides was
threatened with extinction and
must be maintained in the ma
tional interest.
