Need for LPNs Evidenced
By New Training Schools
By FREDERICK H. TREESH
United Press International
New York IL'PI) A new
legion of ladies in white is
filling thousands of hospital
staff Jobs which have gone
begging because of a shortage
of registered nurses.
Taking up these long -unfilled
positions are licensed
practical nurses, LPNs. This
"new breed" of practical
nurse is a well-trained mem
ber of a hospital's medical
team, and she is fast demol
ishing the popular conception
of a practical nurse as a kind
of unskilled sick room aide
and domestic servant. -
The need for the LPN in
today's hospitals is evidenced
by the fact that 512 hospitals
in the United States have
established training schools
for practical nurses. Most of
them offer one-year courses
which roughly parallel regis
tered nurse training
Differences lie in the depth
In which subjects are explored
and the emphasis on science
and administrative prepara'
tion In the time-honored regis
tered nurse course.
"Licensed practical nurses
are doing much of the bedside
nursing originally done by
registered nurses," said -Mary
Jeanne Clapp, director of
nursing at New York's Hos
pital of Special Surgery,
which operates a school for
training LPNs.
"We just weren't gradu
ating enough registered
nurses, and many of those we
did graduate went into public
health or industrial nursing,"
Miss Clapp said.
Dean Smith, who directs the
hospital's School for Practical
Nursing, said specific limits
for duties of practical nurses
vary because of differences in
state laws and the policies of
each hospital.
But she sees an increasingly
important role for the LPN as
' greater numbers become li
censed after thorough hospital
training rather than by waiver
based on long on-the-job ex
perience. The two women agreed that

as the image of the practical
nurse changed, the applicants
changed, too. Although prac
tical nursing remains a field
open to older women in need
of employment, many pros
pective LPNs are career-seeking
teen-agers or women in
their 20s.
The hospital's SO - week
course begins with a six
month "pre - clinical" period
during which the student ii
trained in such subjects as
anatomy and physiology,
drugs and solutions, communi
cable diseases, growth and
development, first aid, history
of nursing and ethics.
The classroom phase Is fol
lowed by on-the-job training
which Miss Smith character
ized as "supervised practice."
The practical nursing students
work on staff under close RN
supervision during this so
called "clinical" training.
The hospital, which spec
ializes in orthopedic surgery
and ( long-term rehabilitation,
sends its practical nursing
students to two general hos
pitals for 15 weeks of affili
ation in general medicine and
surgery and obstetrics. The
balance of their on - the - job
training takes place in var
ious departments of their own
hospital.
"We also have a post-graduate
course," Miss Clapp said.
This is a lS-week course in
which the LPN can qualify as
a surgical technician.
. The practical nurse made a
major advance in professional
acceptance when the National
League for Nursing recently
e s t a b lished a division of
LYNs, Miss Clapp said.
it is true that in some
areas where there are enough
registered nurses, there is a
great resentment of the 11
censed practical nurse," she
said. "It is not true in areas
where there is a shortage of
nurses.
"The job security fears of
the registered nurse are need
less. There always will be
more iota than there are
nurses."

Model's Big Satchel
Holds Almost Anything
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York - (OPD - Once up
on a time, the trademark of
the fashion model was the
hatbox to hold accessories of
the job.
Today, if a model walks
into an agency carrying a
hatbox, she's imedlately typed
as "Just got off the train from
- well, from the Midwest,"
said William J. Foy, head of
one of New York's most elite
modeling agencies.
The trademark of the pro
fessional clothes-horse or pho
tographer's model now is the
deep, carry-all type of satchel.
In winter, it is done usually
in black fabric with leather
handles.
In sumer, It's the pale beige
straw carry-all Into which a
girl can, and in the case of
Gail MacDermott, does, stuff
20 pounds of everything from
a waist cincher to false eye
lashes. And how does a tall frame
of a girl who weighs no more
than 110 or 120 pounds cart
all this excess without get
ting even thinner? Because
there is a lot of footwork in
volved both in the shows,
most of which run at least an
hour, and in getting from
one assignment to another.
"Well," said Miss MacDer
mott, "I can eat well - when
I get time for lunch. But you
still get what I call the mod
el's backache. Through the
shoulders."
Or, if the model swings
this miniature trunk across
her arm, she gets ridges
from the handles. "Had to
give up hand modeling," said
Miss MacDermott. "Look at
those veins.'

Collection
Named For
First Lady
New York -fl!PD- No doubt
about It, Mrs. John F. Ken
nedy ranks as the No. 1 force
in fashion today, says a de
signer who does not sell at
the White House.
Award-winning Luis Este-
vez speaking - as he preview
ed a fall and winter collection
whict candidly took it theme
from the First Lady s visit
this year to India and Paki
stan.
"We've named the whole
collection for her," said the
Cuban-born Estevez. "We be
lieve she Is the woman most
influential on fashion today."
Estevez' "state visit" collec
tion included numerous vari
ations of the rajah silhouette,
rapidly turning into a "ford"
in the whole New York gar
ment industry. Ford is fash
ionese for a style easily copied
in all price lines.
The rajah is a variation of
the long, tunic-like garment
Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru wore on his visit to
the United States. In turn,
when Mrs. Kennedy visited
India and Pakistan, variations
of this coat's shape showed
several times in her wardrobe.
Its silhouette: narrow
through the shoulders, skim
ming over the waistline but
curved tn slightly, falling into
narrow flare through the
skirt. The rajah, as seen in
fall and winter apparel for
women, comes either single
double - breasted, with
either flat collar, narrow nnrf
of stand-up collar, or without
collar
As done by Estevez, the
rajah usually Is long tunic
over slim skirt - wun inree
to four inches only of the
underskirt showing. He used
this spare silhouette for a
number of coats, for day
dresses In taupe and gray
wool combinations, and in
brown-black, and ice blue
wool silk for Informal late
day.
Estevez. who holds the
American Fashion Critics
Award among others, never
has sold to Mrs. Kennedy.
Credit Official Gives Tips
On Financial Emergencies
By PATRICIA McCORMACK
United Press International
New York-lUPlu Do you play
hide and seek with the man
from the collection agency
when emergencies make bills
pile up?
Some people do. They pull
down the shades. Answer no
phone calls or letters. Refuse
to answer the door bell.
The strategy: To keep the
greatest possible distance be
tween debtor and creditor.
Never do these things,'
cautions William J. Cheyney,
executive vice president of
the National Foundation for
Consumer Credit.
"Aren't these foolish ac
tions for an intelligent con
sumer to take? They fail to
protect their own good credit
by frankness and leave their
creditor no other course than
to proceed to protect his own
interests. '
In a Foundation booklet-
"Using our credit intelligent-
ly"-Cheyney suggests that a
debtor In a financial crisis
make every effort to talk the
problem over with the credi
tor.
"Call on the credit manager,
or the merchant or lender,
he advises. "Tell him the exact
facts-sickness, medical expen
ses, loss of work, family emergency-why
it is impossible

"Discuss future prospects

what can be done to tide the
situation over and avoid loss,
inconvenience, and undue
hardship to both."
But suppose after talking
it over, repossession seems the
only course? You don't like
it. You have to give up a tele
vision set or an appliance you
have partly paid for.
Sometimes It is the only
way Cjut," Cheyney reported.
"The intelligent thing to do
in such situations is to arrange
for a voluntary return of the
goods and not force the credi
tor to repossess.
This leaves your credit In
better condition for the future
when your emergency situa
tion has passed."
What are your rights in the
repossession process?
"In most states," Cheyney
noted, "When the merchant
or lender takes back property
we are buying, he is obligated
to put it up for sale and with
due diligence seek a fair price
for it.
"Everyone knows, however,
that secondhand prices can
not always be counted on, and
nine times out of ten, the
forced sale may not bring
enough to pay off the balance.
"Ordinarily, businessmen
and lenders chalk off this dif
ference as their own loss, will
not press for it. Almost all
would rather see their custo
mers back on their feet finan
cially, able to do business with
them again.'
The expert suggests that the
debtor let the merchant know
when he starts to get out of
the financial quicksand caused
by the crisis,
"This is the secret of hand
ling the very difficult emer
gency," Cheyney explains
The merchant, if treated this
way, realizes you are substan
tial and, under reasonable cir
cumstances - entirely credit
orthy."
