Sponsored by the U. S. Public Health Service, the thirey first observance of this week devot ed to Negro health will have for its special objecive, “ A Healthy Family in a healthy Home”. "This slogan is particularly ap plicable to the aims of he Red Cross Home Nursing course,’ said Miss Olivia T. Peterson, national director of home nurseing. “Not only do we teach bedside nursing skills to the homemaker, but our nurse instrutct ors emphasize also the prevention of illness.” Following recommendations of the National Council on Red Cross Home Nursing, which met recently in Washington, home nursing com mittees will put major emphasis on areas where home nursing training is most needed. Itinerant nurse in. structors are available where there are no nurses to teach. Dr. Charlotte Hawkins Brown founder and president of Palmer Memorial Institute, Sedalia, N. C. a member of the National Council on Red Cross Home Nursing, and Dr Mary McLeod Bethune, president of the National Council of Negro Women, are outspoken in their praise of this program of instruct eion. Dr. Philip Davidson, Dean of Vanderbilt University, also a mem. her of the National Council on Red Cross Home Nursing, urges more evtensive organization of classes among Negroes. Promotion of home nursing class es was a large part of the work of Mrs. Marion B. Seymour, who took six months' leave from Freedmen's Hospital, Washington D. C„ during the past year to work with the American Red Cross. Mrs. Seymour travelled extensively, conferring with Red Cross area directors of nursing service on the best way to coordinate the work of Negro grad uate nurses through out the country Many of these nurses are teaching the home nursing course. Mrs. Seymour herself taught seven classes in the District of Columbia. An outstanding member of one of her classes at Shiloh Baptist Church in Washington was Mrs. Estelle Blackford, the mother of fifteen children, who was enthusiastic over the course. At Camp Lee. Virginia, Negro army wives recently learned home nursing from Mrs. V. V. Chavis nurse-instructor. Seventeen wives ot officers and enlisted men enrolled ir the class. Mrs. Frank M. Snowden wife of Lt. Col. Snowden, Camp Let salvage officer, recuited these women with the help of Mrs O. S. Johnson, director of the Harding Street U. S. O., where the group meets for luncheon cnee a week This winter a home nursing class at Mine Number Three, Triadelphia W. Va.. was held at a little mission : house high on a hill. Though severe weather often interfered with rlass j es, nine completed the course. A nurse instructor of home nurs ing classes for the American Red | Cross Chapter at Tampa, Florida, is Mr.s Daisy F. Young, a graduate . if Tuskesee Institute, who received - her nurse education at the Lula j drove Hospital of Atlanta. Georgia. Mrs. Young has been teaching high school clases in Red Cross Home Nursing. Mrs. Anna R. Jones, Grand Direet ress_ Purple Cross Nurses, Columbus Ohio, has recommended that mem. bers of the Negro Elks le dge nurs-. I"..... ing unit take home nursing as a background for their work with fel low members. Whenever someone within the membership needs home nursing care, these women are pre pared to help out. Mrs. Hattie Gray, one of the Pur ple Cross Nurses in Youngstown. Ohio, is enthusiastic over the home nursing course. "In case of emergency or disaster in our group, we are prepared,” Mrs Gray said. “The course helped us take care of our families better, too. All the fourteen members of the class bought thermometers so they could report the exact degree of fever to the doctor. One of the most interesting and important things I learned was to make a bed with a patient in it. Natl Urban League’ New Interracial Project Staff, Gets Four More Professional Members March 21 1945 New York N. Y. The employment of four addition al professional staff members was announced this week by the Nation al Urban League and sponsors of the League's new Community Relat ions Project in interracial social planning. These staff additions are part of the expansion program which the League has been carrying on during the past two years.. In making announcements of the ap pointments Lester B. Granger, Ex ecutive Secretary, stated, "When war broke out and for over a year thereafter the National Urban League was badly handicapped by lack of professsional staff to handle the pressing problems brought to our organization by white and Negro citizens the whole country over. Since Pearl Harbor our staff has nearly tripled and our budget as well. For a number of years the League has provided special infor mation and guidance in the fields of employment and community organ ization. Today those two are ex panded activities. We have a much larger staff in these two fields but we are also adle to offer special services in the fields of health, housing, recreation and social case work. Our staff now includes Negro and whites, native-born and foreign born.” i nr*> nuti i ill t II1 lit I WII 09(3 lip polntmenta are announced are Seat oil W.

C. for the baccalaureat service on Sunday March 11, where Nevy Chaplain Francis B. Sayre,Jr., said: "The problem of the veterans is not merely one of education, of homes and farms, of marriages and loans and getting a job. It is a question of faith, too. "War has winnowed out for them tlje things that do not endure. The danger of pease is that it may be cloud again and bring confusion. Faith must make clear and straight en the path ofr them." Graduates of the course will be sent to various regional offices of the Veterans Administration to re ceive on the job placement training acting as assistant national service officers for disabled veterans.
