Two Nurses Added
To Hospital Staff
Two new nurses, Mrs. Eliza
beth Wilson of Honolulu and
Mrs. Ruth Callison of Sutton,
were added to the staff of the
Valley hospital this week.
Mrs. Wilson came to Palmer
directly from Honolulu, where
she had been anesthetician at
the Kapaolani hospital for the
past three years. Her permanent
home is in Philadelphia, Pa.
Mrs. Wilson said her wish to
travel brought her north from
Hawaii. She found her three
years in Honolulu most pleasant,
she stated, but added that over
crowdedness and a large post
war increase in Oriental popula
tion made living conditions dif
ficult there now.
Mrs. Callison has been in the
Valley since June. She makes
her home at Sutton now, but
came here originally from West
Virginia.
