is a Necessity and
Should b e ‘Erect'ed
Despite Cost
C. B. Strayer. general manager or}
the Norwalk hospital. speaking be-
for the Kiwanis club at its lunch-
eon at the Royal Jamees Inn today.
told of the urgent need of a. nurses‘
home in Not-walk.
Mrs Strayer said that a home with
facilities for accommodating at least
40 nurses should he built.
"In such a building. he said.
“training classes could also be con-
ducted. For years." he explained.
“the Nomaik hospital
forced to conduct classes with
adequate facilities.
“There is no doubt." Mr. Strayer
said. “that Nora-all: needs a nurses"
home and needs it. badly. Before the
opening of the new hospital five
years ago. nnrsu used to room on. the
top floor of the building and since
the opening of the new building. the
old hospital has been converted into
temporary quarters. An old hospital
doesn't make good home for nurses
any. more tha a nurses' home would
make a. good hospital.
“It is my contention that the pro-
posed home should be a school
building as well as a residence. The
Norwaik hospital has only the mini-
mum faehjties required by the State
board for the training of student
nurses. .
“There sho id be a. sewing room
in the new h me for the hospital
sewing society and storage rooms.
which were unfortunately left out
when the new hospital was built.
“I am fully aware that to erect
such a. building at this time will cost
a great deal of mOney. But it. is
not a. question of money but one of
neceuty. For can we \sry well get
slant without it? .

"To be sure it will be harder to
arouse interest in the building of a.
nurses home than in the building of
a hospital. But. if people will stop
to consider the situation from every
angle I feel certaindhat. they will
agree with one that proper housing
quarters for nurses are as important
as the hospital itself.
"A hospital without doctors or
nurses would be just a. pile of brick
and vmortar. J net stop and consider
what. a hospital would be without a
competent stat of nurses.
“Our hospital must, haxe nurses
and if we are to have them. we
must provide adequate quarters for
them.
"It is also our duty to train and
house prospective nurses. The doe
mand far exceeds the-supply. Have
you. ever stopped to consider what
would happen. if there were no stu-
dent nurses? Or what the conse—
Quences would be it these young
women did not receive proper train-
ing? Yet. tho‘Norwalk hospital has
neither the equipment not the room
to give these young women the
training which they should recehe.
"Even if one never goes to a hos-
pital but is cared for at homo by a
trained nurse. on should remember
that. it would be possible to re-
ceive such care in the home were it
not for the hospital which train
these women.
"Norwaiiis indeed fortunate in
having the support of such men as
Mr. Bedfordand Mr. Farrell. But
the hospital is over open to (are (or
all of us. It makes no dinerence to
the nurses who we are. they are
there to take care of us. .
"It is my opinion. therefore. that
the whole‘community should be in-
terested in seeing that these women
are given an adequate home. Every
one should be willing to do his part
toward seeing that the proposed
nurses’ home becomes a reality.
Everyone in 'Nor‘u‘alk will profit
from such an institution."
