CLASS PRO PHECY Finally, I will just lay off work and catch up on all the big dope thatis going around the city. Honestly, such an accumulation of papers! My, do they look messy? I picked up one paper and glimpsed the headlines, AIRLINE I-IOSTESS LONELY SURVIVOR IN PLANE CRASH. As I continued to read the article, I was alarmed and yet thankful to note that this person was Betty Iohnston, employed with American Airlines and was on a cross-country flight. In an ad for a girls, camp in Vermont, I see that Lois Bullock and Bonnie Freeman were listed as camp nurses. Lois always was an outdoor Yankee at heart, but I understand that Bonnie plans to return to N. C. and Don. Listed under the professional literature section was the new nursing arts book in review with all new pro- cedures. It's author is none other than Mrs. Grady Covington Broadwell, R.N., B.S., M.A. W. G. Smith is head of the new premature unit in a midwestern, N. C., town. Rumors are that she is going steady with the High School athletic director. She is getting a little old for college athletes, or did one materialize? The monthly meeting of the P.T.A. at Franklinton met in the School auditorium. Guest speaker was IVIrs. Perry Wheless, R.N., who gave a most interesting speech on uChild Guidancefi She is very well qualified in this field since she has six sons of her own. Her husband is vocational agriculture teacher there. In the farm news section, complete with picture, Mr. and Mrs. james Coates flames and Tillie? have accomplished a great deal. Their farm is being used as an example of one of the best in that section of johnston County. Recently they completed their new house and Tillie is putting her nursing ability to use with her two children. VVhat a calamity caught my eye as I glimpsed a picture of jack Walls, who was hospitalized with minor injuries resulting from an accident while at work. Lucky a small limb brushed him as a huge tree fell. Of course, he got the best of nursing care with his wife, Laura, by his side. Under the birth announcements at Rex Hospital, I noticed that Evelyn Parker Hudson has an eight pound boy, Roy, jr. This is their first child. They are living in Cameron Village and Roy is still with the Army at State College. Martha Mann Smith has given birth, finally, to a girl after having adopted a boy. Wonder which will inherit PI-heophelus? Leave it to Pat Honeycuttf Mrs. Baileyj to be different. She is announcing the birth of triplets. They finished their new house in Millbrook just in time, I hope it has ample room! Reading further down the farm Column, Ruth Atkinson's husband was listed as owner of the Blue Ribbon winner in the dairy cattle show at the State Fair. By way of the grape vine, I hear the cow trails on their farm are being pavedl A pediatrician in Norfolk is running an ad for an ofhce nurse. His present nurse, Nannette Fletcher has resigned. Nan is marrying a lawyer and changing to politics now. Among the new comers to Raleigh freally those returningj are the Lanes and the Bazemores, or better known as Lorna VVeathers and Mary Shipman. Dave has accepted a position as an instructor in the Engi- neering Dept. at State College, while Carl is getting his M.A. They are living in a duplex apartment and Lorna visits Knightdale frequently to get butter and eggs. Oh! a house break, and it is the home of Doyle and Evelyn Hester Bennett, in a new housing district in Raleigh. Of course, the robber didn't get away because Hester had left her teeth braces on the table and he screamed when he saw them and fled. Wlaeri the reporters asked her if she would like to say a word-yep, she just giggled! Kathleen Pleasants has accepted the position of Assistant Director of Nurses at the Granville Menlorial Hospital in Oxford. She has recently received her degree from U.N.C. Vacationing in New IVIexico this month, we Hnd Miss johnnie Bizzelle. She has well earned this trip after three years in the V. A. plus furthering her education in surgery. I understand that some doctor has talked her into matrimony and the wedding is to take place within the next six months. Miss jean Malcom is visiting her parents in Raleigh. She is designing and modeling uniforms for Bruck's in N. Y. I suppose she has plenty of time for parties and picnics there. A musical concert was held at Memorial Auditorium last night under auspices of Civic Mtlsic. The city proclaimed it the best music ever presented here. The composer with his wife, the former IVIarian Hughes, were seated in the right balcony with a radiance of permanent happiness. Mrs. Charles Bass has recently been elected president of the Canasta Club at Wake Forest. Her husband is attending college there. Here on the front social page is a beautiful bride of yester-evening. Oh, yes, it is none other than Mrs. Dot Bray Hall. After the wedding trip to Burmuda, they will reside at Country Club Apartments. He will interne in medicine at Rex Hospital and Dot will be doing private duty nursing there. I see here that Lillian Rogers is still working in the Veterans Hospital in Fayetteville and was recently CContinued on page thirty-fourj Twenty-eight The Nightingale
