RED CROSS HOME NURSING
WHAT’S YOUR
BEDSIDE MANNER?
this is grandpa, cross and grouchy, confined to bed
with chronic arthritis. His arms are cold so you bundle
heavy blankets around his shoulders and then wonder
why he complains, "The pain in my joints is worse.”
His feet are cold so you tuck a hot water bottle, filled
to the top with scalding water, next to them and his
thanks is, "Are you trying to bum me to death?” So
in desperation you turn to ...
home
nursing
CLASS
red CROSS home nursing where you learn the easy
way to care for bedridden patients—how to arrange
equipment to save yourself steps—how to prevent
bedsores—how to bathe, feed, and comfort an im-
patient patient. And now . ..
THIS IS GRANDPA, COMFORTABLE AND HAPPY, even
though he is still in bed with arthritis. A lightweight
bed jacket gives him warmth without weight. A hot
water bottle wrapped in towels keeps his feet warm.
And he puffs contentedly on his pipe with your full
approval because you understand that clinging to a
favorite habit is more important to Grandpa’s happi-
ness than a clean, but empty, ashtray.
If there is no home nursing course offered at
•present in your community, ask your Red
Cross chapter how you may help organize one•

... to pay for all the colossal cost of Victory.
2. Held by millions of Americans, Victory
Bonds will provide a solid reserve of buying
power to assure steady jobs for veterans.
3. Buying Bonds rather than scarce goods
helps keep the lid on prices ... prevents in-
flation and its followT-up of depression.
4. Bonds form a reserve for future repairs
and replacements... for modem buildings,
improved stock, better homes.
5. They hold dollars in store to pay for our
children’s education . . . right on through
college.
6. E Bonds return $4 at
maturity for every $3 you
invest.
7. They give security to
enjoy later years with
peace of mind.
