REFRESHER COURSES
FOR NURSES

once nurse, always a nurse"
Just like learning how to swim. once
you learn. you can never forget. But
it is not quite as simple as that.
The graduate of SO short a time
ago as ten years finds when she re-
turns to the hospital whole collec-
ton of new equipment, strange
sounding drugs, new and unfamili-
ar kinds of treatments for old and
familiar conditions.
She is astounded to see patients
arising from their beds the day af-
ter surgical operations, and becomes
dizzy trying to keep up with the ra-
pid admission and discharge rate
since she was a student nurse. And
yet hospitals are badly in need of
nurses to help with the care of these
patients
The University of Washington
School of Nursing recognized that
some of the problems arising from
this situation may be solved by ar
ranging for these out-of-practice
nurses to catch up on the progress
of nursing care and learn how to
do some of the new things, and to
understand about new drugs and
all the rest of it.
So "Refresher Courses for Ora
duate Nurses" are being arranged
throughout the state in towns or
cities where there are hospitals in
which these nurses can have some
instruction and practice.
If they can have instruction and
demonstration and the practice at
the same time in hospital near
their homes, it is expected that
they will feel more confident and
the new things will be less strange.
At the same time the nurses in
charge will find them ready and a
BILE to carry their share of the days
duties.
During the emergency period of
World War I, many former nurses
returned to hospital nursing work
under a similar plan of "Refresher
Courses. They found it satisfy
ing and rewarding in many ways
and some have continued working
ever since.

Mrs. u. hopes I'm looking for a

noe" she warns me. Il don't
like your idea that parents
shouldn't pick out husband for
their daughter. I don't like 1t q
little bit, and I don't believe any
other parents like it.
"You seem to have q grudge
against all parents. DR.. Popenoe,
in spite of your claim that you
have four sons.
"Of course, parents ought to
have something to say about
whom daughter marries. Their
grandchildren are at stake. They
may have to live with and support
this son-in-law. They certainly
know their daughter better than
she knows herself-they have
watched her, studied her, taught
her, made her what she is. They
can't be responsible for her over q
period of 20 or Is years and then
suddenly step aside and say they
have no responsibility for her
that she must pick out any kind OF
a husband that her whim selects.
even if he is entirely unsuited to
her.
mo, DR.. Popenoe. you're wrong.
As long as they live, parents must
feel a solemn responsibility for
the welfare of their children; and
they can't make greater contri-
button to a daughter. and to pos
terity. than by finding a suitable
husband for her"
1t seems, Mrs. u, that you won't
admit that your daughter is a
responsible adult, able to manage
her own affairs; but you think
she will become such after you
die However, by that time she
will have become so dependent
on you that she will never be
able to grow up. deal with many
such persons-women, and even
men, who have never been allowed
to act as adults. One such person

And Financial Stability
Dorothy Flynn Helps Many
Find Road Back to Health
By Betty Miles

For most of the Hospital Serv-
ice Agency's II years, Dorothy
Flynn has played a part in bring
ing needed medical and hospital
facilities to the public.
Many people who can meet reg
ular living expenses cannot pay
additional costs of medical care
unless given time for installment
payments or budgeting. TO meet
this need, physicians, hospitals
and the Community Chest worked
together to found HSA in 1885.
At the same time, the agency was
designed to eliminate waste and
duplication which existed then,
when doctors found themselves
giving free services to rlany able
to pay, while others. unable to
pay, had difficulty proving it.
AS assistant to HSA Administra-
tor Willard C. Smith, Mrs. Flynn
considers it perfectly normal
day" when her incoming and out
going calls number over a hun
dred. interspersed with ;n-person
consultations with patients and
the six counselors she superviseS.
Blessed with health, energy and
a positive view point, attractive.
green eyed, gray = haired Mrs.
Flynn has never had a major
siege in the hospital herself. But
her long experience with persons
who need disqualification and med
1cal care has made her sensitive
to their needs.
Mrs Flynn, who regards her po-
sition as a public trust, began as
q counselor with HSA IA years
ago. Although she has inter-
viewed a staggering number OF
patients since. they have always
remained persons, not leases,
to her. Peoples lives depend on
U.S." she declared.
Many heart-warming expert
ences provide dividends in her
work. Her files contain expressions
of thanks from people who were
once in trouble. Patients have
sent me tatting and crocheting
as thank-you gifts they must have
spent hours working on" she COM
mented.
One case that will remain for
ever in her memory is that OF a
young boy with a brain cancer
a story reminiscent of John Gun
ther's son. The men in the hosiery
mill in North Carolina where the
boys father worked took up a
weekly collection toward his med
ical expenses, which averaged over
$1,000 a year for the four years
of his illness. When the boy was
transferred to a Washington hos
pital, HSA advanced funds, every
penny of which the father paid
back. Mrs. Flynn values the cor
respondence she received from the
gallant family Of the little boy
who died this year at the age
Of II.
One young woman with tuber-
culosis, unable to pay for the pec-
essary drugs, and unwilling to &c
to a sanitorium, had been staying
at home, while her youngsters
were boarded out. Thanks to HSA
she is now recovering in a sani-
torium, receiving the drugs ant
the care she needs. She and hel
family look forward to being re-
united.

Executive Committee
MeetinQ Is Called

Mrs. j. York Welborn. president
of the Fourth District, Virginia
Federation of Women's Clubs, has
called an Executive Committee
meeting for tomorrow afternoon
at the Cherrydale Methodist
Church, Twentieth and North
Monroe streets, Arlington.
1t was pointed out that the
session is scheduled for 2 pm.
Eastern Daylight Time. Some of
the 80 clubs in the District are in
areas on Standard Time.
Those attending the meeting
will be the Fourth District officers
and committee chairmen and
rfesidents Of the local clubs. About
60 are expected.
Evening star., 1952-08-12

Each case is handled on an in
dividual basis considering the fam
lily income in relation to the prob
lem. CounselorS either certify
applicants for assistance through
HSA, advise them how to pay their
expenses, or refer them to other
sources of help. Persons who are
qualified for care in city-Supported
Gallinger Hospital, or in Federal
hospitals. are not eligible for HSA
assistance. Those who have hos
pitalization insurance are eligible
if the hospital expenses exceed
their coverage and their income
is inadequate to the financial de-
mands upon it.
Patients who do receive HSA
assistance are given clinic passes
or hospitalized on q free, part pay
or full pay plan, Mrs. Flynn ex-
planned. HSA has arrangements
with local hospitals for a contract
rate which is less expensive than
the regular rate. The agency pays
the hospital. The patient repays
the agency as much of the amount
as possible. Physicians give their
services free to HSA certified pa
tients.
Although much has been &C.
complished. Mrs. Flynn believes
there are three community health
needs that rate immediate atten-
ton: Dental care, the establish
ment Of a drug fund, and an in
crease in nursing homes. The
dental funds formerly made avail
able through the Community
Chest are just about exhausted at
HSA now, while inadequate re-
Sponse to recent Chest drives has
kept more money from being
added. Both dentists and dental
laboratories co-operated in this
program.
The Service Guild, q woman'S
organization, has made q valuable
contribution to HSA. Mrs. Flynn
reported. Round-the-clock nursing
care. artificial limbs, blood trans
fusions, hospital beds and wheel
chairs for home use, oxygen and
drugs have been bought with
Service Guild contributions.
Off duty. Mrs. Flynn, a native
Washingtonian who is the daugh-
ter of native Washingtonians,
lives in a house in Chevy Chase
with a garden where each azalea
is almost" as important to her
as her patients. Her young daugh-
ter, who lives with her. will leave
shortly for a post in Germany.

w ed Problem
InStubble Mulch
By JOHN LEUTHOLD
Saltwater County

I WOULD NOT want to give the
impression that my three years of
experimenting with stubble mulch
would qualify me as an expert on
the subject.
We have had enough encourage
ment in our efforts to warrant con-
tinuation of our experiments. The
biggest problem we have had to deal
with is that, with the use Of blade,
we do not get a thorough job Of kill
ing cheat grass and often other
weeds as well as volunteer wheat.
Even though we covered the field
number of times with the blade
and the culivator some green growth
always remained Until we learn
more about this method of summer
following We viii probably use the
offset disc on the second operation.
This disturbs and rolls the green
growth enough 50 that it usually
dies.
From then on a duckfoot with lots
Of clearance seems to keep the
ground free Of grass and weeds. The
first blading and offset discing must
be done early so cheatgrass won't
make seed. The offset disc should
not be set too deep.
Much improvement has been made
in the design Of machinery for stub
BILE mulch operation during the last
two or three years. 1t is now possible
to get equipment that does the job
quite satisfactorily with much less
grief.

Stubble Mulch
Does the Job
\ b WAYNE SMITH
WibaHx County

THOUGH THE amount of stubble
has varied-heavy in 1949, light in
1850 and heavy again last year-I
am well satisfied with the results of
my stubble mulching.
The method I use is as follows: L
go over the land with a blade as
early as possible. I then work the
land with rod weeder with shovels
ahead of the rod and follow with the
straight rod weeder as often as
necessary to control weeds. OF about
S25 acres I have in strips / stubble
mulch about l25 acres and have the
balance in a corn wheat rotation.
It does take special equipment, but
I recommend stubble mulching for
any one who has desire to control
wind and water erosion on his sum-
merfallow.

Land Leveling
Pays Out
By j. M. SHOLTUS.
VALLEY CoNntv

WE HAD LAND that for "a years
under dryland farming had never
really paid. The soil was all No. !
rich, sandy loan and an irrigation
ditch ran right through it. But it
was rough, too rough we thought,
to try to level.
One. recent year, however, the
grain on this land ran IS bushels
to the acre while similar land that
was irrigated produced As bushels
to the acre. This showed us that
there was no use letting this go any
further We decided to level and
by doing so to save water, time and
a lot of hard work.
The land was surveyed, grades es-
tablished and staked by the Soil
Conservation service. Then the
board of supervisors entered into an
agreement with the contractor for
work on the project. The work was
done in SO hours at a cost of $3.50.
After blowing and leveling with
our own leveler we seeded the field
to oats on June Is. It was given one
irrigation. The water spread we'll
and the amount of time and labor
required for irrigating was about
half that for our other fields. We
feel that the crop we obtained that
first year paid for the cost of level
ing.
Having made a success of this
field we decided to level another
26 acres of the same type of soil.
This was completed at cost Of
$3.50.
In Montana the cost of leveling
and irrigation must always be held
to the minimum in view of the fact
that the crops that can be grown
are limited by our short growing
season. "A rotation system should be
practiced at all times, making sugar
beets the cash crop and feeding cat.

yields so as to justify the cost d

1T IS A pleasure to report of the

For years I have lived with a

the job and sat back to await re-
suits.
In due time the ditch was COM
pleted and we turned in about 700

the water to seek its own courses
