The women agreed and took the idea to Keith Lawton, director of dormitories. About a year ago, the Watkins hall女人们 decided they would like to have a fireplace and told Lawton about it.
Three weeks ago, workmen began pouring concrete and laying stones for the patios and the fireplaces. They also built 18-inch retaining walls between each house and its patio so that dirt might not wash down onto the flagstones. Since the ground behind the halls slopes, it had to be leveled off before the stones could be laid.

Originally the women in both houses wanted to bring stones from their hometowns so that the fireplaces would be a composite of the stones found in parts of Kansas and other states. However this was found to be impractical due to the size of the stones.

Good Job Opportunities For Nurses
The need for professionally trained nurses, which became critical during World War II, continues according to the U. S. Department of Labor's women's bureau. Employment possibilities for K. U. graduating nurses are especially good at this time.
The increased demand for nurses in this country is caused by the combination of several factors: the building of new hospitals, an increase in the number of hospital patients, the popularity of hospitalization insurance plans, the growth of the population, and the increase in the number of aged in the country.
Registered nurses obtain their licenses by passing an examination given by a state board or agency, following graduation from one of the existing schools of nursing in the United States. The basic course in these schools usually covers three years of combined study and supervised practice in hospitals. According to the Department of Labor, educational preparation beyond the
minimum required for licensing may lead to well-paid teaching or administrative posts.

Fasy disposed of his $500 estate with this verse:

I leave to my dear wife forever more
