Listing Trained Nurses in Maine

Replies to 3387 questionnaires sent out last week aim to list accurately the number of trained nurses available in Maine for defense duty both military and civilian. The national census is sponsored by the Nurses Council on National Defense and the U S Public Health Service to contact every registered nurse in Maine. Mrs Alice S Hawes, ex ecutive secretary of the Maine State Nurses Association, is in charge of the survey at 54 Saunders Street Portland. The effort seeks to put authorities in touch with a reserve of nurses willing to serve in their communities or join Army or Navy nursing service if needed. The survey asks if recipients would accept assignment in wartime but involves no obligation.
