There are all kinds of lines.
Yeoman ' Dorothy Duncan, j Wave
recruiter, has discovered.' There's
the line that's -the shortest dis
tance between two points. And
chow line And "charge the line'
in football. All three are combin
ed at Willamette U.
Yeoman Duncan, on a week's
recruiting assignment in Salem,
was invttea oy lA. ueorgo

ing at Willamette at "chow! in
the USS Lausanne. On her first
day, she stood in -the doorway re
viewing, the' hundred or more
boys lined up f or drul by Chief
Petty Officer Harry "Duke" Trot
ter. As the luncheon hour ap
proached, Yeoman Duncan smiled
enthusiastically while Trotter dis
missed the young men who were
to escort her to lunch. ? :f:
She was still smiling when the
mob charged but by the time she
had reached the crest ol the wave,
the expression was dazed. After
the first day, she's figured out the
only way to get chow at Lausanne
is to plant herself firmly behind
"Duke.. Trotter "and let the. huge
former UCLA tackle run interfer

Marion Red Crocs Employs
Full-Time Nursing Supervisor
- Announcement is made throush Judge George Rossman, chair
man of the Marion chapter of
employment of Mrs. Louise Ameson as a full time nursing super
visor of the health programs of the chapter.
This decision was made early this week in the regular executive
committee meeting. The action was the. result of numerous con
ferences within recent weeks con
cerning, the serious need for in
creased training 1 o lay-people In
thecare of the sick, who prior to
wartimefound adequate caro in
hospitals undejv competent -.nurses
and physkdans. - " ;
f-Judge" Rossman in making the
news release stated "The chapter's
executive committee had employed
Mrs.' 'Arneson upon' full-time
basis In order to augment the en
listment of nurses for the armed
forces, and to provide this vicinity
with a larger number' of . persons
capable - of supplementing the
skilled work of a nurse. Unbe
known to many, there exists today
in mis. county and state a woeful
shortage of nurses, he declared.
"Neither the county nor the state
is supplying to the armed forces
the number of nurses expected of
us. If an epidemif should visit us
our nurses are so few in number
that they could not cope with the
situation v:"tV',: .V v.i.v
It is common knowledge that
following in the wake of all great
wars are epidemics that take the
lives of vast numbers. The one
seems to be the cause of the oth
er. AH of us recall the virulent
epidemic of influenza that came
in upon the heels of the last world
war and that took; the lives of
hundreds of thousands. Realizing
that we face a repetition of that
horror if we do not prepare our
selves so that we can avert it; the
Red Cross is everywhere stimulat
ing interest in various phases of
the nursing service. It . plans , to
teach millions of "people here in
America how to detect the first
signs of an approaching epidemic
and how to care for the victims
if victims there must be so that
others will not be infected.
"Mrs. Arneson will continue to
in
n
the American Red Cross, of the
teach nurses aide courses. She has
made a ' marked success of this
work. A nurses aide " course con
sists of 80 hours of training. Ap
plicants roust be between the ages
of 18 and 50 years. At the close
of the course they are capable of
performing work in the hospitals
and are required to give 150 hours
of, such service' tor the hospitals.
This course provides each member
of the class with, a knowledge of
the fundamentals of good health
and of nursing. Wf are now or
ganizing one of these classes.". 1
Mrs. Ameson will also super
vise home nursing classes, Judge
Rossman ' state, and - continued
"these classes will be taught by
graduate, competent nurse volun
teers under Mrs. ; Arneson's . su
pervision. It is our , plan to or
ganize classes of this kind in ev
ery community in Marion county.
The standard home nursing course
of Instruction calls for 24 hours
or Instruction given in a period
of weeks. Every one who desires
toknow something of the primary
principles of nursing Is eligible for
enrollment Into one of these clas
ses. At its dose no hospital work
is required of those who took the
training.!
, Those who have taken the nur
ses aide jnd home nursing courses
have testified to their great merit,
Judge Rossman points out. "Our
chapter now offers this training
without charge to everyone in
Marion county the chapter chair
man added, concluding,MAs - has
already been IndicatedT all this
work will be done by or supervised
by Mrs. Arneson. The chapter f eelsi
that it is fortunate that such a
person of her demonstrated abil
i
a.'O-inr'in.'irjini- '
ir.?7 f,.
ity, is available to perform this
work."
Rossman called attention to the
fact that the graduates of the nur
ses aide classes become entitled to
w,ear a blue and white uniform
which is authorized not only by
the American Red Cross-but also
by the United States office of ci
vilian defense. Both the graduates
of the "nurses aide classes and
home nursing classes can properly
feel that they have qualified them

patriotic nature, professional me
dics of the community aeciare.
