MISS NICHOLSON
RESIGNS POSITION
- i
HEALTH NtRSE REFUSES TO
BE TRANSFERRIN B V
HEALTH DIRECTOR HEGE,
AND RETURNS TO HER
HOME IN YADKIN COUNTY
—HEGE BEFORE T II E
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
—COMMISSION ERS RETAIN'
THE TRI-COUNTY FLAN
AND HEGE.
Miss Katherine Nicholson, who
has served Stokes for several
years with fidelity and efficiency,
has resigned her positon and
returned to her home in Yadkin
county because of the disapprov
al of her work by Dr. Hege,
health director for Forsyth,
Stokes and Yadkin.
Dr. Hege's charge against Miss
Nicholson was "insubordination."
Asked by the board of commis
sioners to tell what he mount by
"insubordination", he said sin
refused to obey his orders, would
not co-operate with him in his!
plans, and that she practiced'
medicine instead of nursed. He
told the board that Miss Nichol
son's work was very unsatisfac-j
tory to the State department of
I
health, and that therefore he i
would not tolerate he r any long-'
er.
Here a surprise was sprung by
the introduction ot evidence con-;
trary to the statements of Dr.:
Hege.
Senator Sparger was asksd
testify. He had been requested
by the commissioners to see the
State authorities at Raleigh in
regard to the complaints of Dr.
Hege.
Sparger was entirely disinter -
ested, and is of unimpeachable
veracity.
Sparger stated that D r. Cooper,
in charge at Raleigh told him
the services of the Stokes nurses
had been satisfactory to the
State department, with the ex
ception of the t pre-natal work,!
and that he did not blame; the
nurses for this, that it was in
t
stituted wrong.
As Dr. Hege himself had in
stituted the pre-natal program,
}t" could necessarily only follow
that the only unsatisfactory worki
to the State was that or! Here
himself. This established clearly
a case for Miss Nicho>s u.
But Hege had stated Miss j
Nicholson was practicing medicine
instead of nursing. It 'appears
this charge covered the nurse's
vaccination of thrtfe or four
people, after Hege had forbidden
her to vaccinate any more, and
that she had dressed the wounds
or sores of tv/o or three people,
when his express orders were not
to practice medicine.
It developed that the vaccina
tion was done by Miss Nicholson ,
on the approval or instructions J
of the supervising nurse, and
that the dressing of wounds was
when no physician was available, j i
end the work was an act of J
mercy and kindness to sufferers, i
On cross-examination Dr. Hege 1
stated that a sanitary officer in' i
his budget drew a salary of
Established 1872.
Typhoid and
Diphtheria Clinic
i
Three thousand, two hundred,
eighty nine, (3,289) persons have
ben inoculated recently at the
typhoid and diphtheria clinic be
ing held at various points in the
county. The work has been in
charge of Dr. Bunn, Miss Hamil
ton, R. N., Miss Corpening, R. N-,
and Miss Lois Martin.
| The clinic will be continued the
week of July 19-22 at the same
points and same hours.
D. F. Carca-Sanchez of the
Mexican health department was a
visitor in Stokes Monday, observ
ing the clinic-

Budget —Hears Dele
gation From Francis
co School.
The board of education met
, Monday to consid-r the budget
prepared by Supt. of Schools J.
jC. Carson. The budget was ap
pro' and turned over to the
board of county commissioners j
for its approval.
i
A delegation from Francisco
school appeared before the board
; represented by Attorney N. O.

! under advisement by the board.

are growing luxuriantly, farm
ers report.
5900.C0 n year, and that he did
not know when such officer had,
shown his face in Stokes county I
! He was asked if "Ford Bran-
I
dall" was his relative and replied
: i
that he was not. It is stated to j
i . I
be a fact that the sanitary of-,
ficer is a brother-in-law of Hege.;
Ford Brenda'l is the assistant of
the sanitary officer.
I Evidence was presented to the
j commissioners proving the high
character of Miss Nicholson, her (
j faithful and efficient service to 1
I the people, and that the people of
Stokes county were entirely sat
isfied with her work, and that
I
the same was satisfactory to the j
commissioners.
On the basis of this showing.
Dr. Hege was asked if he would j
not reconsider his action as to
i
the removal of transfer of the,
I
nurses.
He stated positively that he J
or Miss Nicholson would have to
!
go.
After several days considera
tion, the board decided to retain
I
the services of Dr. Hege in his
tri-county program.
In the meantime Miss Nichol
son had submitted her resigna- i
tion, and declined to be transfer-'
red to work by Hege in Forsyth i
I
county. 11
