Licensed Practical Nurses Observe National Week The first practical nurses, according to Mrs. Ruth Coots, a Licensed Practical Nurse, were the persons who took over when one of the family became ill. Often it was the mother, sometimes the grandmother or an aunt. These women utilized their acquired knowledge and developed their nursing talents by giving assistance as it was needed throughout their immediate areas. They were denied the educational opporutnities offered to the practical nurse of today, and were obliged to depend to a great extent on common sense augmented by brief instructions from doctors and from professional nurses. They learned by experience. Their dedication is an inspiration to present day practical nurses, officially observing LPN week from October 12 through October 16. As professional nurses, of which there were never enough, came to recognize the worth of the practical nurse they realized that her value could be increased by training. The efforts of such professional nurses, coupled with the interest of public-spirited citizens resulted in the opening in 1893 of the first school of practical nursing in New York City. A three month course was offered for the purpose of teaching women to give simple nursing care to those in their own homes. In 1 91 7 a practical nursing school was opened in Brattleboro, Va. followed by the opening of another in Boston a year later. The latter two schools are in existence still. The states began to recognize the existence of the practical nurse, and laws were passed establishing standards to be met. In 1945 a committee composed of teachers, professional nurses, physicians and vocational educators organized to study the possibilities of the practical nurse. "They were looking ahead," states Mrs. Coots, herself a LPN since 1968 when she finished her schooling in St. Peter's Hospital School of Nursing in Olympia, "to the time when the practical nurse could take her respected place in the profession with confidence and with dignity". The National Federation of Licensed Practical Nurses was founded in 1949 and is the offical organization of LPN's. The N FLPN is governed by an executive board elected by the House of Delegates, which is the voice of all practical nurses. To become a practical nurse one must enroll in an approved school for a course of at least 12 months duration. Students are carefully selected, and many aspects of nursing are covered. Graduation indicates eligibility for the state licensing examination set up for the group. Upon passing the examination and paying the required registration fee the student becomes a Licensed Pracital Nurse. There are today more than 700 approved practical nursing schools. LPNs number well above 200,000, with at least 125,000 employed in hospitals. The LPN's of Mason county hold their meetings on the second Tuesday of each month in the hospital dining room with president Hazel Purves presiding. As a money-raising project for the purpose of sending local LPN's to learning centers where their knowledge and skills will be furthered, a garage sale will be held at 7th and Wyandotte on Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. A tea is scheduled for 2:45 p.m. Sunday in the Shelton Manor Nursing Home.

I recently learned from a most reliable source the sad story of the quick-tempered gentleman who was plagued by a housefly. The obnoxious insect repeatedly buzzed the poor fellow, who wished only to relax and read his evening paper Jn peace. Finally, driven to distraction, the man armed himself with a 22. pistol, determined to shoot the pesky creature as soon as it lit somewhere.
