Chairman Talks For Last Session District Nurses Dr. Arthur Kreisman, chairman of the Humanities division, Southern Oregon college, told the registered nurses of District Four, Ore gon ISurses association, at their last meeting that pro fessional people are marked by the fact that they must give more than they receive in their work. He said that it is a responsibility of a profes sional organization to protect the quality of service which the public receives and that only to the degree to which a professional nurse shares in this work and responsibility, can she consider herself to be truly professional. The greatest progress has always been made in those states where professional or ganization has been strong est, he said. Dr. Kreisman be lieves that self interest as well as concern for the health care of the public makes it mandatory that every regist ered nurse in Jackson county be an active member of her professional organizations.
