Doctors Honor Pauline Bowers,
Providence Obstetrics Nurse

For IS years, Miss Pauline
Bowers has been working most
of the night.
But Miss Bowers, a nurse, says
it's been a bright and happy
life there in the maternity ward
Of Providence Hospital.
The nurse. honored yesterday
by the Doctors Alumni Asso-
citation, is head nurse in OBJ
Stetrics. She has been at Provi-
dence ever since she entered the
nursing profession. She took
her training there and then went
right into obstetrics, where she's
been on hand for at least two
thirds Of all the births at Provi-
dence for Is years.
"I've always worked at night"
she said. There are fewer dis
fractions. You can spend more
time with your patient.
Shes. now working the 1880
pm. to 1880 am. shift. For 10
years, she worked 12-hour tricks
straight through the night.
She said the busiest" time for
babies was during World War
II, when the hospital was aver
aging from 265 to 280 babies a
month. And some time, she said,
there were as many as IA or Is
mothers-to-be in a single night.
"Now," she said, II can count

on from one to five babies a
night"
Miss Bowers, who lives at 122
Kentucky avenue Sc, said it's
easy to note the swelling in a
new fathers breast when the
news comes he's got a son.
Sometimes you wouldn't think
they had on the same suit they
were wearing when they started
to watt" she said.
Yesterday, DR.. James P. Lyons,
president of the Providence Hos
pital Doctors Alumni Associa-
ton. praised Miss Bowers long
service at the hospital. Some 400
members of the association have
served as staff members or in
terms at the hospital.

Norfolk Ferry 10 Continue
Pending New Hearinu
By the Associated Pres.

EASTVILLE, Va, Feb. 27.-
The Pennsylvania Railroad has
lost the first round in a legal
fight to eliminate it's ferry run
and reduce it's Eastern Shore
train service.
The Northampton Circuit
Court Wednesday denied the
railroads request for permission
to suspend its ferry that links
Cape Charles, Norfolk and Old
Point Comfort at the end of the
week.
Judge JEFF Walter ordered the
service maintained for 80 days
and scheduled a rehearing for
March Is. This will give oppo-
nents of the move to drop the
ferry time to prepare their case.

ReOpening Of Case
In InImpersOnatiOn Of
Probe Aide Asked

Federal Judge Charles F. Nc
Laughlin has been asked to re-
open the case Of Ray Brennan,
Chicago Sun-Times reporter, who
had been accused Of impersonat-
ing a staff member Of the Ke-
fauver Crime Investigating Com
mittee.
The indictment against Mr..
Brennan was dismissed by Judge
Mclaughlin in the U. S. District
Court for the District Of Colum-
bia. The dismissal was based on
the ground that a statement
given by Mr.. Brennan to two as
siStant counSels for the commit
tee could not be used against him
because of immunity granted wit
nesses before congressional COM
mitteeS.
The immunity extends to pros
ecution for all crimes with the
exception of contempt of Con-
gress, according to Prosecutor
Frederick Smithson. When Mr..
Smithson conceded the statement
formed the main basis of the
Governments case, Judge Nc
Laughlin dismissed the indict-
ment.
In motion to set aside the
previous ruling, Mr.. Smithson
contended no committee mem
berS were present when the state
ment was made; that no promise
of immunity was given Mr.. Bren-
nan, and that the latter was not
under oath. Arguments on the
motion will be heard later.
Mr.. Brennan, it had been
charged, imperSonated a staff
member of the committee to get
a copy of the transcript of a
closed session of the committee
from a stenographic company,

Some Suggestions on Feeding Birds

into coil shape and set the coil
into the container. Attach the
top Of the coil to q heavy wire,
eight to 10 inches long, looping
the. end to serve as q hook.
Now mix cracked grain. sun
flower and other seeds, ground
peanuts and cornmeal, and fill
the container within an inch
from the top. Next pour hot
melted lard or bacon fat into the
container. Let harden, and cut
away the container. Now the
bird burger is ready to hang
from the branch of a tree.
Woodpec kers. nuthatches,
chicadees. jays, warblers and
brown creepers are meat" eaters.
Sparrows, juncoS. finches and
cardinals like vegetables. Avail
able in seed stores are wheat,
rye, pumpkin. sunfllower and
squash seeds. Birds also appre-
ciate a scattering of sand and
gravel when snow is on the
ground. It helps them digest
their food.
