Today four schools for men students only exist in the United States while 70 accept both men and women. Nursing may be divided into four general fields: private duty, in- stitutional nursing, public health nursing and nursing education. In private duty, the nurse, under the direction of a physician usually cares for just one patient in home or hospital. She is responsible for his comfort and well-being, and for carrying out the doctor’s orders ac- curately and promptly. The satis- factory recovery of the patient usually depends on. her skill and 5| alertness, and on the knowledge of cording to the Uhited , approximately two cent of nurses were men. "Mills" School for Men Nurses the illness and the care involved. Nurses in institutions render many different types of service both in the actual care of the sick and in the field of administration. As general staff nurses they give bedside care ‘to patients in hos- pital wards or assist the doctors in clinics or operating rooms. They may be appointed as head nurses of wards, or as supervisors of units or nursing services. Nurses also hold positions as directors of nurs- ing services or as superintendents of hospitals. Institutional nurses may also serve as anesthetists, X-ray and laboratory technicians, or be in charge of central supply. (rooms, of nurses’ residences or of hospital housekeeping departments. Public health nurses, working for both public and voluntary agencies, help to safeguard. the health of families and communities. They visit homes, giving bedside care to the sick and teaching mothers how to keep their families well, In consultation with teachers, they supervise the health of school children and help to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. They organize health programs in industry to cut down the incidence of illness among workers. They co-operate with health and social agencies in efforts to improve con- ditions and to teach people in their communities to use available facili- ties for healthier, happier living. In the field of nursing education) nurses hold ‘positions on the facul- ties of nursing schools where they plan the educational programs for student nurses, teach in class rooms and in wards, and supervise the students’ practical work in caring for patients. As educational directors in hospitals or public health nursing organizations, nurses plan lectures, demonstrations and observations for graduate staff nurses. An increasing number holds positions as professors or in- structors in the nursing education department of colleges and univer- sities which offer courses to under- graduate nursing students and also advanced courses in teaching, supervision and administration, to graduate nurses. Advances in medical science and the emphasis placed on health by the Federal government have re- sulted in expanding .programs for hospitals and public health services which, in turn, have increased the need for well-prepared nurses, Rabbit Ousts Dog From Home CLEVELAND (® — Mr. Courage, a 130-ounce cottontail rabbit, is standing off a 130-pound Pyrenees dog out in Warrensville Heights, Ohio.

Reds Gain Popularity In Indonesia By WILLIAM L. RYAN AP Foreign News ‘Analyst Dispatches from Indonesia indi- cate today a worsening economic- political situation which is bring- ing the Communist party there ever closer to striking distance of power, The dispatches teJl of skyrocket- ing prices, of shortages of bread, canned foods, powdered milk and other foodstuffs, of hoarding and of complaints by importers that they are the victims of shake- downs by political parties. More ominously, the army chief of staff, Maj. Gen: Bambang Sugeng, who has been constantly at odds with the Defense Ministry, apparently is having a difficult time preventing the ministry from arming what may amount to a Communist-controlled militia. The dangerous elements which have been present in Indonesia’s politics ever since it gained sov- ereignty from the Dutch are com- ing more and more to the fore. Thus, Gen. Sugeng, apparently un the verge of being forced from his job as chief of staff, has been hard put to prevent the rise of what could amount to a Communist police force. The Communists long have been campaigning for arms for an or- ganization called Perbepsi. Those are the initials of a group called “The Union of Former Guerrilla Fighters,” whose members took part in the underground war against the Dutch in presovereign- ty days. It is now a Communist- dominated group and probably Communist controlled. The proposal: to arm this organ- ization — ostensibly to’ fight the terroristic Dar Ui-Islam (State of Islam) organization, which seeks a totally Moslem state — has been supported for some time now by Defense Minister Iwa Kusuma- sumantri, But Gen. Sugeng has complained the defense minister was attempt- ing to use the army as a political instrument. The Communists now support the government. For some time they have been in a_ position where they could precipitate a crisis if they chose. They have not done so, apparently following in- ternational instructions to Commu- nists to pursue parliamentary tac- tics. Moreover, if the present nationalist government fell, .1t would likely be succeeded by the Moslem Masjumi, which has made it plain what it would do about Communists. In today’s cifcumstances, it seems unlikely the Communists will make a definite strike for power in the immediate future. They can remain wedded to the nationalists, whether the national- ists like it or not. z The danger in Indonesia seems to be that the Communists are patiently setting the stage for the time when he signal comes for them to attempt a takeover by “internal” means. The worsening economic situation is to their ad- vantage, and the arming of Per- bepsi would probably be another long step toward their ultimate goal, Senator Is Hit By Mudslinger CLEVELAND #—Sen. Thomas A. Burke Wednesday became a victim of mudslinging—literally, The Ohio Democrat was discuss- ing agriculture problems with a farmer in Geauga County while movie cameras recorded the scene.
