Karastan Employee
Gets Red Cross Honor
Mrs. Lottie Frith, an employee of
the Karastan Office, has established
an outstanding record as a Red Cross
nurse’s aide. She has devoted over
500 hours to this work at Tri-City
Hospital.
She was honored by the local Red
Cross chapter recently and was award
ed her second nurse’s aide stripe emble
matic of 500 hours of service.
Mrs. Frith became a nurse’s aide
after completing a 40-hour course spon
sored by the Leaksville-Spray-Draper
chapter, American Red Cross. That was
in early 1956. She received her uniform
and began her service at the hospital
in June 1956.
She was supposed to devote 150 hours
a year to the work. Since this would
require only 300 hours by June of this
year, she is running well ahead of sche
dule. Moreover, she has no plans to let
Up.
She said she welcomed an oppor
tunity to become a nurse’s aide because
she always thought she would like
nursing. “I am glad to be of service
and hope to be able to continue to help
Someone by being a nurse’s aide,” she
said.
