through conservation can hardship be avoided for many American families. Every fuel oil user can safeguard himself and his neigh¬ bors against cold weather suffering by taking a few simple steps now to cut down on his normal use of oil. Tell every listener in the East, South and mid-West who uses fuel oil or kerosene to help himself and his neighbor by begin¬ ning now to do the following: A. Keep day-time house temperature at not more than 68°. Set thermostat down to 60° or lower at night, or when away from home. B. Turn off heat in unused rooms, sun-porches and garages. C. Install insulation, weather-stripping and storm sash where possible — government studies show these cut fuel consumption by 20 to 50%. D. Keep doors and windows closed and shades and Venetian blinds drawn at night. E. Have heating system in good operating condition to make sure no fuel is being wasted. Nursing Careers for Girls With millions more Americans — over 15 million in 1946, compared with 10 million in 1940 — making use of our nation’s hospitals than ever before, more nurses are needed to insure that patients receive adequate care. To meet the hospitals’ need for graduate nurses, more girls must enroll this year as student nurses^nursing is a skilled profession requiring years of professional training. This need for nurses can be filled if the public is informed of the many attractive opportunities for a career and for self-development which nursing offers girls. Contrary to popular belief the total number of nurses in America has steadily increased. But with a growing number of patients hospitalized and the trend toward a forty-hour week, many more nurses are now needed. Our hospitals must have more nurses. Therefore, to fill these current and future needs, enrollment to first year students must be pushed up to 50,000 during the coming year — higher than any other peacetime period. 1. Point out that thou¬ sands of bright, alert girls are today choosing nursing as a career. 2. Stress that, despite the fact there are more graduate nurses in service today than ever before, the great increase in the number of patients in hospitals and shorter working hours for nurses have created a demand for still more nurses. As a result, countless opportunities are open to the gii’l who becomes a graduate nurse. 3. Out¬ line the advantages of enrolling as a student nurse: (a) A professional education, (b) Interesting studies — including psychology, sociology, child care, anatomy and physiology, etc. (c) Dormitory life with girls of own age. (d) Work with doctors and graduate nurses, and association with the finest people in the community — a chance to serve human¬ ity. (e) Eligible to become a Registered Nurse and may even receive a Bachelor of Science degree. 4. Mention some fields open to graduate nurses: airlines, foreign service, hospital administration, private duty, research, teaching, U. S. Armed Forces, U. S. Public Health Service, Veterans Administration, Industry. Note value of nurse’s training in married life. 5. Outline the qualifications of a student nurse: A high school graduate or college student of good health and character. 6. Urge qualified girls to go to their nearest hospital today to find out more about nurses.
