STOCKHOLM = More than one
thousand heart specialists from
forty countries attended the Sec
ond European Cardiology Congress
in Stockholm Sept. 1914. Profess
sor Gustav Nylin, head physician
of the Sabbatsberg Hospital in
Stockholm, presided. The fact
that the meeting was held in
Stockholm was regarded as a tri-
butte to the contributions made by
Swedish cardiologists in building
up an active international cooper
alton in the field Of heart research.
The main themes of the DELHI
erations were arterio-sclerosis and
its influence on the heart action,
high blood pressure, rheumatic
heart diseases, and congenital car
diac ailments. About $50 papers
were read. DR.. Gunnar Strom, of
Stockholm, presented the results
of an extensive research regarding
the catheter method, that is, the
introduction of a tube in the heart
for examination purposes. Be-
tween 1948 and 1865, this method
was used on 5,093 patients at ell
even Swedish hospitals, with neg
alive result in only five cases. DR..
Sven Roland Kjellberg, also of
Stockholm, described the even
more complicated angio-cardio-
graphic method, which, on more
dangerously ill patients, uses not
only catheters but narcotics and
injection fluid. The. Swedish -ex.
periences in hypothermy, that is,
cardiac operations while the body
temperature of the patient is low
cred drastically and the heart is
emptied of blood, were discussed
in detail, as were the heart volume
estimates worked out by Professor
Gustav Nylin.
Among the American partici-
pants was DR.. Paul Dudley White,
of Boston, who attended President
Eisenhower. Overeating, he warm
ed may play even more of a role
in the destiny of the world than
malnutrition. The question of a
properly balanced diet is very
significant one, and it constitutes

a challenge both to the World
Health Organization and to the
cardiac specialists. Exercise, he
emphasized, is of value in the
maintenance of health in several
respects, but nobody has as yet
established whether it is good for
the heart. Very little is known
about the effects of strenuous ex-
ercise on the heart action, and the
medical world should now attack
this problem with determination.

aware knew one another; thus we
could boast of the advantages of a
small state where we do not need
districts in order to function as an
organization. This year one OF the
chief aims of the N. S. N. A. is to
gain membership in the InterIa-
tional Council of Nurses and to
send a representative to their con-
vention in Rome, the summer of
1857 While we were hold our con-
vention, the American Nurses Asso-
citation held their convention in
Chicago, having a registration of
over 10000 graduate nurses; thus
we had the opportunity to meet
many of the leaders of our MO
ther" Association. Tt was interest
ing to learn that the number of
men nurses is increasing and that
they are taking an active part in
student and graduate activities.
Our mornings were filled with bust
ness meetings; while the after
Moons provided time to visit a
large exhibition section at the
A. N. A. headquarters, do some
sightseeing along the shores of
Lake Michigan and to enjoy some
entertainment
Truly great things are happen
ing in our profession today in spite
of the shortage of nurses in each
field of service. Our courageous
leaders will ever deserve our praise
and appreciation for their vision
and faith in us students to protect
and further develop high profess
sional standards for the future"
Miss Taylor hopes that many
students will arrange to regularly
attend and actively participate in
the Delaware State Student Asso-
citation and thus become more ade-
quate1y prepared for National par
ticipation both as a student and
graduate. In a few years the con-
vention will be in Atlantic City
where Miss Taylor says she plans
to attend as a graduate nurse, thus
availing herself of the opportunity
TO keep. abreast OF the trends and
accomplishments in the nursing
profession.

credit
Capt. Wagner began his Air
Force career in 1943 - all of his
10000 hours were recorded with
The Air Transport Command and
the Military Air Transport Ser
vice. During World War II he flew
the treacherous China Hump in
unai1ned CATS and compiled ap-
proximately 1000 hours in this
manner. He, arrived at Dover in
October 1854 and has been of val
uable assistance to. the 1st ATS
as an instructor pilot, flight ex-
aniner, assistant squadron chief
pilot and aircraft commander.
Serving as navigator ON the spec
ial flight was Capt. Gerard d. Oul-
lette of Fort Kent, Maine Assigned
to the 18th Air Transport Squadron
at Dover, Capt Oulleute was navi-
gator ON one of the first flights ever
made to Thule in March 1851.

Capt. Oullette is with the 18th ATS
and the rest of the crew are at
tached to the 40th ATS.
A side note concerns the aircraft
which made the 5,000th Atlantic
Division flight. C-124 No. 1858 was
the first Globemaster to arrive at
Dover two years ago this very day.
The plane is assigned to the 10th
Air Transport Squadron.
On hand for the special takeoff
ceremonies was Colonel Robert ID.
Forman, Commander of the 1607th
Air Transport Group, which directs
the transport operation at Dover.
Colonel Forman remarked that this
trip and the ones which went be-
fore it from Westover AFB, Nc
Guire AFB, Carleston AFB and Do
yer AFB are the result of the eff
forts and devotion to their duty OF
thousands of flying, maintenance
and support personnel.

couple Of the members stood
chatting over the back fence In
the chamber but for the most
part. they stayed in their places
and looked scholarly and atten-

In the end. the applause was
about equal volume and mostly

In not coming up to Capitol
Hill himself. the President was
following an old precedent
rather than breaking a more re-
cent one. George Washington de-
livered his messages in person.
and so did John Adams. But
Thomas Jefferson discontinued
the practice. saying it "smacked
of royal England" and warning
that its continued observance
would result in the undesirable
domination of the legislature by
a vigorous President.
Not One for Speeches
The truth of the matter, his
torians say, is that Jefferson,
while a brilliant conversational
list. had no inclination for pub
lie speaking.
From 1901 until 1918. the GUS
tom was In allegiance. 1t was re-
vived by Woodrow Wilson. who
thoroughly enjoyed public speak
ing, and moreover looked upon
the occasion as an opportunity
for responsible interchange be-
tween executive and Congress.
His announcement that he
would revive the practice met
with some criticism. The Cabi-
net was reported to be "a trifie
shaky" about the venture; and
Democratic Senator John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi sarcas-
tically referred to it as the
speech from the throne"
But Mr.. Wilson prevailed, and
