American Red Cross Will
Emphasize Home Nursin’
During Negro Health
Week, April 1-8, 1945
The American Red Cross will em
phasize its home nursing program
during National Negro Health Week
Aprill-8. 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.”

2 Negroes Among 22
Graduating Veterans
Program Sponsored by
Disabled and Veteran’s
U. S. Administration
Two Negroes were included am
ong twenty-two veterans of this war
who donned caps and gowns Monday
March 12, for graduation exercises
as services officers under a program
sponsored by the Disabled American
Veterans and the Veterans Admin,
istration.
Negro members of the class were

es marched into the St. John's Epis
copal Church, Washington D. 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

the Veterans Administration to re
ceive on the job placement training
