Nursing Diary no1 - 5 September 1922-3 June 1923

the linen this week. She itemized it and took it over to the Supply Room - came back and practiced making beds - made one in 12 minutes to-day - I surely need some more practice Demonstration by Miss Callard on care of Patients hair. I am afraid we will have a fearful time with our first case of pediculosis - but a grin helps with a lot of thing Dairy - so "Just Hum a song as you travel along.

Keep on a humming with me" - We went over to the incinerator to-day. it is a very wonderful place - all the city garbage is burned there and the heat from it heats the Hospital. We also visited the engine room - and Mr. Husbard was very kind to us - and promised to give us water for our hair at any time. We were instructed how to use the hose in case of fire - and I sincerely

trust I amy use my common sense and control myself to be able to do my very best if every there should be a fire here. We packed bandages from 11 - 12 - and then dinner

Later - Well Dear Dairy we have had a great afternoon - We left here at 2 30 and went to the "Fair" - we did hope we would see someone we knew Ruttle's Mother had come - and so Ruttle

was away - and Summers Mother & Sister took her away - so Lewies Scotty & I were alone. Scotty was lucky and found several friends - Lewies was only fairly lucky - and I was very poor. I saw Mr & Mrs C.C. Douglas & Dorothy- Mr. Tuggins - and I saw a Keeso girl but wasn't speaking to her. We just walked around and came back for dinner. We were late - but had ice cream for dessert - Leweis & I

went down to the Chinaman's for the Laundry - my cuffs look very nice - Tomorrow Scotty and I are going to take snaps - I hope mine look half decent for a change - I wrote a card to Ruth - and will write Mother to-morrow or Friday and now Good night Dairy - I am going to copy notes and perhaps write a few letters. I do love receiving letters - but I have not the love of writing them.
