GOVERNOR CALLS
ON NURSES
Particularly Those in Private
Families Should Give Serv
ices to Stay Epidemic
Governor Brumbaugh to-day is- I
sued a proclamation calling upon as j
many as possible ot the 500 trained j
nurses employed in private homes, J
largely by the incomes of wealthy j
families, undertake to help out in i
the care of influenza patients in the j
districts where they reside. The '
l
proclamation is as follows:
"Whereas, The people of this Com- ,
monwealth, facing now a state-wide j
epidemic of influenza and advised by |
our most competent medical author- I
ities that the crest of the scourge Is j
not yet reached and destined to great |
suffering and many deaths must give j
heed to every effort put forth to \
suppress or lessen the severity of |
the disease, and
"Whereas, The State Commissioner !
of Health, the Pennsylvania-Dela- j
ware division of the American Red j
Cross and the special committee of I
the Pennsylvania Council of Defense j
and Public Safety have united in a i
most earnest appeal for all possible I
assistance frofn physicians and nurses j
to lesson the fatality among our peo
ple and have pointed out that ap
proximately 500 trained nurses are
now employed in private homes,
largely the homes of wealthy persons,
caring for one person long in con
valescence and chronic cases, and in
some instances are acting as serving
maids or attendants upon such cases
when other members of the family
might for a time take over the work
the nurse is doing, and
"Whereas, The people at large need )
and need sorely the administrations j
of those trained and skilled women
to give relief to hundreds of persons
under semi-military discipline in our
emergency hospitals.
"Therefore, I, Martin G. Brum
baugh, Governor of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania, do hereby
call upon persons employing such
nurses to release them for the gen
eral good during the period of this
epidemic, and I urge these nurses to
consider their obligation to their pro
fession and come promptly to the
assistance of the State Department
•if Health and allied agencies, that
they may do their utmost to combat
this dread malady that threatens our
loved ones and has already so cruel
ly restricted the efficiency of our peo
ple in this war, period. I ask this of
all the parties in interest as a pa
triotic duty to the people of Penn
sylvania and as an expression of loy
alty to service when our people are
sore pressed."
Record of Governors'
Meeting Filed!
The Governor's office to-day deliv
ered to State Librarian Montgomery
the declaration adopted by the con
lerence of Governors and former
Governors in Independence Hall,
Philadelphia, on May 17, 1918, in
connection with the "Win the war
for permanent peace" convention.
The declaration is as follows:
• >ne hundred and forty-two years
ago our fathers pledged to Liberty
their lives, their fortunes and their
sacred honor. That Liberty, the
right of free peoples to control their
own destinies, is now endangered
by the forces of despotism and auto
cracy with which we are at war.
"Three years ago in this hall the
League to Enforce Peace was or
ganized to urge a union of free na
tions against aggressive militarism.
To-day the free nations are unitedly
fighting to vanquish the most ruth
less aggressor of history.
"The issue is sharply defined.
Liberty and civilization will by arms
enforce a freeman's peqce or Liberty
w'ill perish from the earth.
"In the military triumph of the
Entente Allies and in the organiza
tion afterwards of all resources of
civilization against militaristic ag
gression, lie our hopes for the fu
ture of mankind.
"To this goal there is only one
way. It lies through battle and
bloodshed —to Victory.
"Therefore, we, Governors and
former Governors, representing the
peoples of eighteen sovereign states
of the American Republic, do here
by pledge our utmost endeavor to
carry the war to a victorious end, to
resist all compromise and repudiate
all offers of peace that will leave
Germany and her allies unchastened
and unsubdued again to menace the
peaceful development of independ
ent peoples and hinder the coming
of a world ruled by justice."
Lack of Funds Halt
Proposed Joint Hospital
The many conferences which have
been held between the city and
county officials during the past few
monts looking towards the erection'
of a new, modern hospital for the
general use of Dauphin county resi
dents that would be financed jointly
1 y the city and countl have not only
been unavailing but, in the opinion
••f County Solicitor Moyer,-there is
no possible way in which Dauphin
County Commissioners can appro
•tatc its end of the money for the 1
•'i.rpose. At present the old and
ilapidated structure near the alms
lUHO is being used for caring for
< ontagious dieases and its utterly
ad condition has prevented the
i 'ounty Commisioners from expend
ing money on its improvement more
than once.
In their desire to help out in the
present crisis the Commissioners
have offered. through the Poor
Board, to pay rent for improvised
emenrgency hospitals, nurse hire,
drugs and for all things necessary to
ameliorate city health conditions.
