“Angels of Mercy”

Purpose of this program: to arouse the club
to the need of helping in nurse recruitment.
Here are two ways to do it:

1. Get your hospital board member to give
the club a fact-facing talk on the urgency
as Rotarian M. T. MacEachern describes it
in THE ROTARIAN for December, 1948, in
“Uncle Sam Needs 65,000 Nurses.”

2. Ask the head nurse in your hospital to
tell the club how Rotarians can help in this
‘shortage of trained nurses. She might even
work up a demonstration such as was re-
ported by The Scratchpad Man in THE
ROTARIAN for January, 1944.

April 14 is Pan American Day —the date
commemorating the establishment of the
Pan American Union. Why not make this a
Pan American Day program?

An article in THE ROTARIAN for April, 1944,
points out some surprising parallels between
great men of Argentina and great men of
the United States. Two of your members
could present it in dialogue form.

Or, the fact-packed article—also in the April
issue—by William Street, would make an
informative talk by your importer member
or foreign-trade expert.

“Youth Presents Its Problems”

Why not invite four or five students, some
young service men and women, and possibly
a young war worker to this meeting and ask
a member skilled in questioning youth to
draw them out on their current problems
and hopes for tomorrow? You’ll get the idea
from the symposium in THE ROTARIAN for
March, 1944, “The World We Want.”

The Sharon, Pa., Rotary club has a special
“Youth Week, 2? and your April ROTARIAN re-
ports on it. This may give you an idea for
a program —or for your Boys and Girls
Week plan itself.

“The Business Man’‘s Need for
Interest in Social Planning”

Since the WORK PILE is Rotary’s No. 1
effort toward intelligent social planning, a

program based on this subject would be
timely. Coupled with a report on your club’s

own WORK PILE activities there can be a

review of articles in recent issues of THE
ROTARIAN showing what other cities are do-
ing, such as “Old Town with New Ideas”
(March, 1944); “The Work Pile Driver”
(February, 1944); ‘‘Work Pile at Villa
Grove” (January, 1944).

Allied to this subject is the work being done
by the United Nations Relief and Rehabili-
tation Administration. A review of “Help
for Those Who Help Themselves,” in THE
ROTARIAN for March, 1944, would make an
interesting program.
