NURSE SERVICE OF RED CROSS | IS SPEEDED UP The board of governors of the American Red Croea has adopt ed an acoel staled program of nursing servioos tor the organi sation. first steps of which are beinfc pnt into operation this ^ s til The action Is Jb?< result of a exhaustive study o t nursing needs and reso tiroes and is do signed to better meet commun ity needs in the fields of home nursing and huso's aide, in struction. disaster nursing and over-all enrollment of nurses for volunteer service in the com munity. The acceleration will include more intensive training of quali fied nurses for disaster duty; instructor training courses for all home nursing instructors, both non-nurse and professional nurses; teaching of nurse's aide classes to meet needs of both public and private health agen :ies as well as hospitals; and In creasing efforts toward enroll ment of nurses to carry on these programs. Additional instructor training courses began in late September and will continue for several months with members of the or ganization's national ? nursing staff acting as instructor-super visors in all sections of the coun try. The persons trained by them will in turn be responsible for training and supervising addi tional instructors in their local communities. This plan, coupled with the new Red Cross policy of author izing carefully selected and train ed non-nurses as instructors in the basic course, means not only that knowledge of simple home care of the sick soon will reach far more Americans, but also that the need for nurses to train and supervise these non-nurses will increase. Also, home nursing instruc tion now will be concentrated in two courses instead of five, as previously. : o Volunteers Needed Both men and women are needed by local Red Cross chap ters to provide services for vet erans, the armed forces, and civilians. o Rockingham County now has 45 Grade A milk producers, says Assistant County Agent C.

This idea and these problems came to the atten tion of a man whose lifetime of achievement enabled him to back e young man's dream. Envisioning his native Piedmont made prosperous through plentiful and low-priced powd er, he joined vision and fortune with engineering genius. In less than two decades hydro electric power proved inadequate to the demands of the owakened Piedmont.
