Volunteers At Nursing Home Work Morning And Afternoon Shifts Assistant Matron May Be I Engaged After Cam- paign For Funds.

It's no picnic keeping twenty-eight volunteer workers on a systematic weekly schedule and yet Mrs. James Wagaman has managed 1 do it. ever since the Nursing Home) along the Middleburg pike open- ed last fall by the Infant and Child Health Center. Inc. Four volunteers are signed up for each day, two working in the morn-, ing and two in the afternoon, and if there are sufficient babies I at the nursing "home to warrant i another volunteer goes out at p.

m. to help the matron feed the patients at 6 o'clock. Although all of the women as-j sisting at the home have been more than faithful, every so often it turns out that several of the are out of town, or ill, or their child- ren are ill, or their cook leaves--or something happens which keeps I mere than half of the workers When these things occur there's nothing for Mrs. Wagaman to do but fill in the schedule herself. By means of its campaign for; funds during the current National Baby Week, the nursing home hopes to be able to employ an assistant matron, one who would fill in when volunteer help was not available.

The home emphasizes the fact that all babies admitted for treat- ment are theoretically paying cases. Even parents in low-income groups are asked to pay what they can. Every so often, however, there are cases of babies who badly need the treatment and special nourishment which the home provides and yet i their parents can't afford to pay for such care. That's why service clubs and in- dividuals have been asked to give enough money to pay for a "free" bed at the home at the rate of five dollars per week. Most of the child- ren who will benefit from these do- nations are members of large famil- ies where, even if the father is mak- ing a fairly good salary, the family budget can't provide for hospitaliza- tion.

Premature Babies Local physicians enter babies at the nursing home to be built up for future operations or to recuperate from operations or other long per- iod r. of hospitalization. Many of the babies at the home during past months have been pre- maturely born and the job of help- ing these infants t- physical nor- malcy frequently takes a long period of time. A portion of the home lias now been isolated par- ticularly for such cases and the "prize" patient is a little mite who weighed tln-ee and a half pounds when he first entered. Without careful feeding and treat- ment of a kind not available at the child's borne, he would probably have died, according to the physi- cian who brought him to the nurs- ing home.

At the present time the child's weight has increased to six pounds and he is well started on the road to life. Personals Mrs. Elizabeth Gold, Liberty street, is confined to her home by illness. Mrs. C.

Close to giving up hope that the customary warm weather one ei- pects in May is ever going to heave into sight, J. Sheeley, of near Smithsburg, is exhibiting some an- cient clippings which tell how July was the only month of the twelve in 1S16 which failed to have a killing frost. And this record was estab- lished not in the New England states, but down in Luray, Va.

According to weather students, Jauuary and February of 1816 were comparatively warm and spring- like; March was cold and stormy, but hopeful fanners planted their crops nonetheless: April -real- winter set in and. by the time May was over, snow and sleet "had fallen on 17 different days. July was cold and frosty, with northern states reporting that ice formed as thick as a window pane on ponds and lakes. In August it was so cold that nearly every crop in the country was killed, to the end that in the following spring, corn and wheat brought outrageously high prices. Mr.

Sheeley's clippings also show that there was snow in many parts of Iowa and Illinois on May and as late as May 23, 1882. As recently as May 10, 1926, the Lway papers carried this report: "It is feared by many that the cold weather of yesterday and to- daj has added damage to the fruit crop of this county, which so far it was believed had escaped with a minimum of damage. Snow has fallen intermittently in Luray last night and today and the highest spurs of the Blue Ridge have been the scenes of heavy squalls of snow and cold winds." No reports equal those of 1816, however, when snow fell in June In Vermont and Maine from three to five feet deep. That was the year when "many crops failed to mature at all and those which, did produced less thaBr-ft-iuarter -of the usual yield; Farmers harvested what little wheat there was while clad in overcoats." Disagreeable as those of us who love the summer are finding the current weather, we can at least hope that there won't be a repeti- tion of 1816 when "potatoes were frostbitten as soon as the seed was put into the ground. Red Cross Nurse Com- mittee met -with Miss Margaret Mullen, chairman, at the Washing- ton County Hospital to outline plans to aid in the nation-wide re- cruitment of 65,000 student nurses and for 36,000 graduate nurses for the armed forces.

The week of May 23 has been des- ignated by the committee as Nurses' Week in Hagerstown when a special window display and. pro- gram have been planned. An ex- tensive drive will be made at the time for recruitment of student and graduate nurses. girls reaching the age of eighteen are urged to consider the nursing profession for their life's career, one of great satisfaction in service to humanity. Not only will this profession be of vital impor- tance to girls who will later become wives but in war time they have one of the finest opportunities for service to their country.

Anyone interested in becoming a nurse can secure information from Miss Mullen at the Washington County Hospital. Single or married nurses who have recently made Ha- gerstowu their home are asked to register with Miss Mullen for Civi- lian Defense relief work or lied Cross activities.
