Program to
Obtain Nurses
In Full Saving
i
' -' Salem merchants this past week
', Joined forces with Red Cross to
id in the recruiting of loOO
array nurses whose services, ac
cording; to the surgeon general,
, are needed at once.
I Three '"points of attack" have
been established in the campaign
In this zc:
: Registered nurse who are eli
SgiWe for the service are urged
to enlist at once.
Graduate nurses now employed
at less essential tasks or not em-
' ployed are asked to return to
nursing for the duration either as
'military nurses or, if ineligible,
on the home front to-relieve
, nurses who can serve abroad.
: Can Take Coarse
T w Women who are not trained as
.Jhurses are offered the opportuni
ty to prepare themselves through
."Red - Cross home nursing and
': curses' aides classes to dp part
of the home front nursing job, in
! their own homes or as volunteers
f in the hospitals of the community.
"Our advances in Europe and
, in the Pacific theatre make it
mandatory to have the most eom
i petent nursing care to follow up
' our fighting men should they fall
In. battle,' Maj.; Gen. Norman T.
Kirk, surgeon general, US army,
declared as the campaign over
the nation commenced this month.
Constant Need; ' .
"As more territory is f r e e d
from the nazi yoke, more hospi
tals are necessary. The stream of
wounded is in. direct proportion
to the number of battles and the
strength of the invasion," he con
tinued. "It should be remembered
that the need" for our. nurses is
not just momentary. The mere
fact that a soldier is wounded
and receives prompt medical at
- tention from ; a doctor, company
aid man, 'Or army nurse does not
: dispose Qf his case as he requires
care for a long period of time. To
provide adequately for our sol
diers overseas and to give them
: the care they deserve here at
home, the army nurse corps must
have 10,000 graduate registered
' nurses immediately. This -figure
.is based on the present rate of
casualties. If some unforeseen
disaster should develop, the need
might be even greater."
40,000 Norses Serve
Some 40,000 nurses are already
serving In the army, stationed in
' every theatre , where American
soldiers are on duty. Col. Florence
A. Blanchfield, superintendent of
the army nurse corps, pointed out.
-tvery American soldier is en
titled to this nursine considers
tion whether he is in actual com
bat or not, for the army's greatest
enemy is not the Jap or the Ger
man; 11 is disease," she declared.
"Our 40,000 nurses, the greater
number-of whom are outside the
United States have done a won
derful Job," she said- "They have
made the public realize that the
members of the nursing profes
sion are ' women of 1 whom all
America can be proud. Nurses
themselves feel a tingle of pride
just, to know what other mem
bers are doing . . it is truly a
wonderful group of women.
"While all the rest of the army
may look forward to a cessation
of hostilities within a given time,
the medical department must, at
this time, prepare for its greatest
load. Our casualties are mounting
. . . our men deserve the best that
American nursing can give, she
concluded. . -
