MIR. Stone, who has dedicated
his life in service to those who
served, will pay tribute to a
great humanitarian - Florence
Nightingale. AS a symbol of the
conscience of mankind, her com-
passion, tireless energy, and organ
izing ability blazed trail for sick
and wounded servicemen and vet
erans everywhere. BY. mobilizing
public opinion, Miss Nightingale
forced the adoption of policies
which revolutionized and estab-
lished the standards for todays
nursing profession.

try. He has had much experience
in veterans affairs.
Prior to his present assignment,
Mr.. Stone served as Director of

He was appointed in 1914 to form

erans. This coordinated group,
known as the Governors Commit
tee on Services and Servicemen,
and Veterans" developed a sug-
gested program for community or
ganization. In addition, he was post

in Ashtabula, Ohio.
Stone served also on department

ialS.
Commenting on the 10000 visit
ors expected to visit the hospital,
DR.. H. H. Bolts, hospital Manag-
er said, 1T is the gigantic volun-
tary aid of more than 100 organi-
cations which has made such and
extensive Hospital Day program
possible. Its scope and significance
has obtained statewide recogni-
ton. As more visitors attend the
program and gain a better under
standing of the work being done
here the problem of mental ill
ness will eventually be licked as
