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.
The association met at the
nurses residence Camp White.
Dr. Wallace Pianka, chief
medical officer, was a guest.
Members were invited to
attend the Cancer committee's

patient relationships in the

the aging."

With House, Garden Tours
By Gay Pauley
United Press Women's Editor
New York HP) Spring
these days brings out a new
type of tourist the one who'd
rather gape at art treasures
of his neighbor than those in
the Louvre.
From now until hot weather
sets in .Americans will be rub-rer-necking
other people's
houses and gardens, and pay
ing for the privilege. The
tours are the latest method
by which charity organiza
tions, foundations, clubs and
other groups raise funds for
other causes.
For the price of a ticket,
usually S5 or up, the curious
may peer into the kitchens,
gardens, residences generally
and the art collections of the
other half.
Everyone's In Act
Mrs. Roger Hull, president
of the New -York City Garden
club, says her group was one
of the first in the; country to
use the tours as a means of
raising funds. It held its initial

"Now," she said, "So many
people are in the act the com
petition is really tough."
Secret of making a tour a
success, says Mrs. Hull, is to
include the home of one celeb
rity each season. "Generates
a little more excitement," she
explained.
I asked Mrs. Hull whether
she thought those who made
the tours were actually curi
ous about gardens, or just
curious.
"Pretty generally the lat
ter," she laughed. "If they
were just interested in horti
culture, they could go to the
New York Botanical Gardens
for free."
Found The Bar
"I think it runs about fifty
fifty," said Mrs. John Mar
shall, chairman of the Tour
Committee of the New York
Radcliffe Club. "What amazes
me is the number of men our
tours draw. . . From one third
to one half." Radclif e College
alumnae ach year run a tour
of private art collections, with
the proceeds going to scholar
ships. Tours generally go along
without incident, because of
the careful planning of the
committees. Most station a vol
unteer, or hostess, in each
room, and have a head host
ess for each house on the
itinerary. Most also list .the
ground rules no smoking in
side, no children under 16, no
touching the flowers or obr,

of women on a tour Of the art
collection of New York Gov.
