'It has been suggested by one of the leal- Practical
Nurses that it may be possible for a Practical Nursing
Training School be set up in Kejiansyille,! '', Possibly op
erated as a conjunctive course between our high school
and the hospital. The suggestion has food for thought,
we think.. It is impossible, under the rules to set up a
full Registered training schoo;vThiscan(be done only
in a hospital that has a minimum number of 100 beds.
Let's think this over and see if something Can be worked
out. With a sufficient number of graduate registered
nurses we in a short time would have all the nurses we
need. It can be done, we think. J.R.G.

OUR CHURCHES AND OUR HOSPITAL
I don't want you other denominations to think I
am making the Times a Presbyterian newspaper. It so
happens, being a Presbyterian, I knpw more about
what is going on in our church. I want to know more
about what is going on in all our denominations and I
wish each of you would name a publicity chairman to
get us the news. (I have been a member of the Meth
odist, Disciples and Sec., Baptist Sunday School.) We
can't publish it unless we have it. , We are all seeking the
same goals, so won't you name someone to get the Times
the news from your churches and Sunday Schools? As
the old saying goes, you can't sell 'em if you don't tell
'em. And as to this saying, I want to tell you readers

Members of other denominations helped out in our
Presbyterian program and

it be fine, and I know it will happen, that members of
other denominations will help out in the Methodist pro

WHY TOBACCO; AND HOW TOBACCO
You know,1 in the past week there has been one old
lady in the hospital here. She was cute. She was snag

The first time I told her that

tempted to ask Dr. Willis to let
me go along but could not have
gone if he had said yes. But I know
the mountains of West Virginia,
Virginia and North Carolina are
beautiful now. He told me the rea

For Hospital Care
I have just returned home from a
two weeks stay in our own Duplin
General Hospital in Kenansville. I
had heard many nice things about
our hospital but now I really know
that it is just the very best in every
way. It has good doctors and nur
ses who make tne patients feel
right at home, and in addition to
giving the best medical and surgi
cal care, they create such a pleasant
atmosphere which adds so much to
the happiness of the patients. I
want to say that I am grateful to
everyone who brought sunshine to
me during my stay in the hospital
by itheir visits, flowers, cards and
many little kindnesses. None ot
us like to be sick, bu It is sa nice
to know that we have our own hos
pital where we can get the best
