Strom Thurmond by proclama tion has set aside the week of November 28 to December 4, in clusive, as Conservation Week and Friday. December 3, as Arbor Day. The text of the Governor’. Proclamatiotl ig ; as follows: “WHEREAS, bur forests and 'for est products are essential to the Mvelihood. well-being and recrea tion of the citizens of the state, and WHEREAS, demand and drain of our forest products is increas ing daily to provide for expand ing industry, and WHEREAS, our forests are one of the few renewable natural re sources, and WHEREAS, one week of each year has been set aside as Con servation week with Friday of that week as Arbor Day, and WHEREAS, the Garden Club and the Federated Women’s Clubs in cooperation with educators, schools, churches, civic organiza tions, patriotic organizations and others have annually sponsored Conservation Week, devoting their activities to programs concerning conservation of the forests, soil, waiter scenic and wildlife re- sources;, I NOW, THEREFORE, I, J. Strom Thurmond, Governor of the State , of South Carolina, do hereby pro claim November 28 to December 4, inclusive, as Conservation Week and do call attention to Arbcr Day. which by South Carolina law is Friday, December 3, and .re spectfully urge every citizen to exercise thought and effort in conserving our natural resources and increasing the productivity cf our forests through .wise use.” State Forester Chas. H. Flory stated that, in line with Cons r- vaticn Week, the State Commis sion of Forestry would cooperate with all clubs and organizations in helping them with programs throughout the state during Con servation Week. “Because the productivity of our forests affects each of us, we hope that whenever groups meet during Conservation Week they will give serious thought to the wise use of our timber re sources,” he concluded. — X Celebration Of The Diamond Jubilee Of Professional Nursing In The U. *S. The year 1948 not only marks the Diamond Jubilee of Profes sional Nursing in the United States, but signalizes the 75th an niversary of the graduation from nursing school of one' of our greatest nurses, Linda Richards, America’s Florence Nightingale. “In 1873 a patient took Yis life *n Ws,hands when he entered V hospital,” says Miss Isadora Poe, President' of the South Carolina Nurse’s Association. “Before 1872 ‘probationers’ or student nurses were prepared for their work neither theoretically nor practi cally, but were ‘turned loose’ in the hospital wartfs to learn nurs ing by trial and error. The re sult was that the student got hei nursing training, such as it was, at the expense of the hapless pa tient. In those days judges often gave delinquent young women brought up before them the choice of working in a hospital or going to jail.” • The first three American Nightingale schools for nurses were opened in 1873 by hospitals located in New York, New H ven, and Boston, the ANA states, so that professional nursing in this country is just 75 years old Con trasting the lack of training which was the rule among n -?ses when hot flatirons were r,n lied for the relief of typhoid, Ameri ca's leading body of regi tered professional nurses point; out that today’s “white caps” avrrage three years of nursing educ tion. To salute the advances mrde in the last 75 years and to focus public attention on the progress still to be made, the week of November 14-20 was designated Nursing Progress Week. More than 60 leaders in American life, in cluding President Truman and ex-president Herbert Hoover, were sponsoring this Diamond Jubilee of Nursing. Throughout South I am the new J., R.
