AUXILIARY NURSING
NEW PLYMOUTH APPEAL An appeal for greater support in New Plymouth and North Taranaki for the Auxiliary Nursing Service was made by Dr. C. A. Taylor, medical superintendent of the New Plymouth hospital at yesterday's luncheon of the New Plymouth Rotary Club. "We have only 43 trained members of the service at New Plymouth," he said, "whereas this number shouid be 150 to 180 if we are to be in a proper position to cope with any big epidemic or national calnmity." He explained that volunteers for the service must be cither members of the St. John Ambulance "or the Red Cross and have passed the necessary tests. Arrangcments had been made by the Taranaki hospitals for 60 hours' training for those who had passed these tests. In order to facilitate matters it had been made possible for St. John and Red Cross members to train together in the preliminary stages. Dr. Taylor also appealed for women volunteers to be schooled in the work of mass cooking and laundry operations.
