On the cooling side, electric equip-
ment comes in numerous sizes so that
you do not unnecessarily pay for too
large an installation nor are you forced to
use, in order to save equipment costs, a
too small unit that won't do the cooling
job your family needs. Automatic
humidification is easily available as is
automatic cleaning of the air.
Whatever it takes for your personal
comfort — electric has!
The versatility of electric home condi-
tioning equipment makes it possible to
fit heating, cooling, air cleaning and
humidification to the personal require-
ments of your family.
Electric heating equipment, for ex-
ample, is selected after competent
engineering studies of your home re-
quirements. Taken into consideration
are cost of equipment, installation,
operating cost and warmth factors. A
variety of equipment is available in-
cluding baseboard, ceiling cable, fur-
However, the court held the
will valid. The judge said ad-,
vanced age, even though ac-
companied by assorted frailties,
does not automatically mean a
person is incompetent to make a
will.
On the contrary, the law has
shown a special tenderness for
wills made by the elderly. One
judge’s explanation has often
been quoted:
“It is one of the painful con-
sequences of extreme old age
that it ceases to excite interest,
and is apt to be left solitary and
neglected. The control which the
law still gives to a man over the
disposal of his property is one
of the most efficient means
which he has, in protracted life,
to command attention.”
Of course, old age may indeed
be accompanied by real incom-
petence. In another case, the will
of an 86-year-old woman was
thrown out because in her de-
clining years she had been un-
able even to recognize friends
and relatives. The court said a
will she signed while so disabled
did not truly reflect her “will”
at all.
But in a close case, the law
gives a will the benefit of the
doubt. This is not only a matter
of concern for the elderly but of
preference for wills as the best
way to transfer property at time
of death.
For if there is no will, all sorts
of unpleasant things may befall
the heirs. The most money may
go to the least deserving. Taxes
may be needlessly high. Costs of
administration may be exorbi-
tant. Family heirlooms may
spark family feuds.
Accordingly, to the person
who has grown old without hav-
ing made a will, the law’s advice
is plain:
Better late than never.

ion stimultes continual improve-
ment of diploma programs in
nursing through the United States
and its territories, thus promot-
ing nursing service. The criteria
for National League for Nursing
accreditation describes the char-
acteristics that the dip;oma pro-
gram in nursing should have in
order to make its appropriate con-
tribution to society.
Mrs. Marilyn Dyer, Director
of the School, said, the nursing

Harvey was dismayed to learn,
when his father’s will was
that he had been left out
gether. In short order, he
lenged the will in court.
“My father was past 90 when
he signed this document,” Har-
vey pointed out. “He was slov-
enly in his personal habits. He
was getting forgetful. And he
was totally blind. In such a con-
dition he was certainly not com-
petent to make a will
goals during the past seven years
with the enrollment of the school
increasing from 98 students in
1964 during the last accreditation
visit to the present 313 students
currently enrolled making North-
west Texas Hospital of Nursing,
the largest diploma program in
the Southwest. In 1970 a major adv-
ancement in nursing education
was initiated by the School
when Northwest Hospital School
of Nursing became the first school
of nursing in Texas to grant to
Licensed Vocational Nurses who
meet established criteria enab-
ling them to complete the nurs-
ing program in two years accord-
ing to the minimum time required
by law and the established policy
of the Board of Nurse Examiners
for the State of Texas.
The Northwest Texas Hospital
School of Nursing was organized
in 1924 to help the community
need for registered nurses and has
eduated over 900 nurses since
it was established.
Seventy-five percent of the nat-
ion's registered nurses are grad-
uates of the three-year diploma
schools of nursing, the type op-
erated by Northwest. These schools
are sponsored by hospitals and
upon graduation the nurse is el-
igible to write the state board ex-
amination for registration.
Historically, nursing has long
records of voluntary efforts to raise
its educational standards. Acc-
rediting activities in nursing ed-
ucation, begun by many different
nursing organizations during the
1920's and the 1930's were cent-
ralized in the National Nursing
Accrediting Service in 1949.
When several national nursing
organizations united to form the
National League for Nursing in
1952, accrediting in nursing ed-
ucation became the function of
National League for Nursing's
Division of Nursing Education.
In 1958, the National League
for Nursing Board of Directors es-
tablished a policy that gave the
Department of Diploma Programs
the freedom to develop its own
accrediting program according
to its needs, provided that its
policy and procedures were con-
sistant with the principles of
National League for Nursing acc-
reditation. The accrediting ser-
vices of the Department of Dip-
loma Programs are available to
schools that offer a diploma pro-
gram in nursing.
The National League for Nurs-
ing actively seeks to gain from
various groups their understanding,
assistance, and support in its con-
tionous efforts to improve nursing
education through the accreditat-

Recgonition of the higest qual-
ity of nursing education has been
bestowed on Northwest Texas
Hospital School of Nursing rec-
ently. Continuing accreditation
for a seven year period was pres-
ented by the National League
for Nursing, the only official ag-
ency for accrediting nursing
programs in all types on a national
level. Such accreditation recog-
nizes the program of the North-
west Texas Hospital School of
Nursing as among the best diploma
programs in the nation. This major sified toward meeting League
achievement, voluntarily sought,
indicates that the school has ac-
hieved and amintained educat-
ional excellence and has gone
far beyond the minimum stand-
ards required for State Accrediat-
ion by the Board of Nurse Exam-
iners for the state of Texas. Acc-
reditation is awarded for periods
varying from one to seven ye ars
depending upon the quaility of
the program. The final evaluat-
ion of the program in nursing was
made by the National League for
Nursing of Review.
Northwest Texas Hospital of
Nursing was surveyed for contin-
uing accreditation by the National
League for Nursing the week of
November 8,1971. Miss Frances
Peterson, Executive Secretary for
the Board of Review for Diploma
Programs and Miss Peggy Norman,
regional representative, were the
Survey Team. All aspects of the
program were surveyed including
the school facilities, library,
clinical facilities, the faculty,
the students, the curriculum, st-
udent services, recruitment pro-
gram, the administration and or-
ganization. The student body was
actively involved in preparation
for the accreditation visit as well
as being represented during the
visit by the president of the Stu-
dent Body, Mr. Robert Nation
and vice president of the student
body, Mr. Mike Evans. They att-
ended all meeting sessions with
the accreditation team. Mem-
ers of the Student Council also
met with the visitors at a lunch-
eon meeting.
At the conclusion of the week
long survey the surveyors com-
mended the faculty for the high
quality of nursing program offered
and had identified only one weak-
ness— the main school building
is inadequate to accommodate
the number of students enrolled
and places limitations on the plans
to expand the school further.
This marks the third time the
school has received the highest
rating. First in 1957 and second,
in 1964. Such national accreditat-
