New Uses Needed For Farm Products

Senator Roman Hruska, speaking recently about the farm
problems which are now facing the middlewest, declared that a
strong farm research and educational program is one of the sound
est contributions the government can make to the American farm
er.
The senator, we believe, has something there; something
which might be a permanent and yet selfsupporting solution to
the farm problem.
Price supports, it is recognized, are helpful, but they are also
expensive and very temporary. But the law of supply and demand

The earliest nurses in his

the CruSades the Order of St.

lar, which was a religious and
a military order, cared for the
pilgrims to the Holy Land.
In about the 10th century
some of the religious orders

shook us all up so much that
we're leery about hiring any
body.
Right now my garage is
full of machinery to be re-
paired. I know a man who
could Ak 1t all, but I don't
dare let him work at my place
for fear something will happen
to him and I'll be sued. So to
be safe, I'll take the machinery
to a shop in town." ..

of somebody he knew who was
foolish enough to hire a hard
up acquaintance as an as
sistant in his machine shop.

guy pinched his hand-no
harder than I do lots Of times
and don't pay any attention
to it. Sam took him to the
doctor and thought no more
about it. A few days later
he was in a suit brought by
this character. He never had
to pay, though. While the
case was still waiting to come
to trial, the plaintiff was
caught using the hand he COM
planned he couldn't move"
A woman had an even sad
der tale of unsuccessful coun-

ground" she reported. "The
Mansf1elds weren't completely
covered by insurance, as he
was out of a job and it was a
bad situation. The neighbors
were concerned, naturally, and
all the men decided to give up
their Saturdays and pitch in
just the way they did in the
old days to rebuild the place.
Everybody was excited and
sentimental about the project,
the way you get when your
heart is touched and you are
going to do something about
it.
"Then came disillusionment.
Local carpenters and masons
complained. The would-be Sa-
maritans were reminded that
safety standards had to be
complied with. In short, they
kept running into all sorts of
unforeseen disbursements
including plenty from the bank
that held the mortgage on the
Mansfield property. They

well, anyway, they wanted
to do It," I persisted, some

FASHION NOTEBOOK
New Nurses Uniforms
Decidedly Different

some OF the latest scientific
methods and practical applica
ton of the studies in rendering
treatment to patients.
Women volunteers in the
community the army was in
during the Civil War in the
United States did the nursing.
They had no real training at
all but did their best to relieve
pain and suffering. A nurse"
could usually be recognized BY
her big white apron and cap
which was the usual at-home
afternoon garb of the women
of that period.
Before that anyone could
designate a nurse whether or
not she had experience or
little training. In 1873 the first
school of nursing to be pat
termed after the Nightingale
method with a graduate of her
school installed as supervisor,
was started at Bellevue Hos
pital in New York. Nurses at
that time wore a big white
apron with a bib over a dark
afternoon frock and a special
cap to keep the hair in place.
Head nurses were the only
ones who wore white around
1912. Other hospital training
schools adopted a blue-and-
white striped uniform and big
white aprons. The hospital
nurse had trained in could be
recognized by the uniform she
wore and the type cap on top
of her head as well as the
nursing pin on the uniform.
During World War I when
laundering methods had to be
simplif1ed because Of the short
age of laundresses. other
nurses began to wear white.
Also after World War I uni
forms reflected the fashions Of
the times more closely. Some
of the uniform sketches we
saw done by White Swan show
those of the early 1920s with
low waistlines. The wrap
arounds were known as "hoo-
vers." Other uniform dresses
as is the case today opened
from hem to neckline for ease
m donning.
1855 sees the new elongated
silhouette termed the long
torso" cropping up in several
new uniforms. Some uniforms
separate just as do other
fashions into a separate blouse
and a skirt. There are prin-
cess styles, convertible col
lars on many uniforms. and
the overall designing premise
in uniforms is that they be

who wear white uniforms to-
day.
