In addition to nurses, several
rcs|Minslble persons appeared at

help. In many cases it was
accepted. On the* other hand
there ware many curiosity
seekers who hampered the work
of the hospital sniff by stnnd-
iru’ around in the halls. Too
many |H*oplr culled on the
telephone "to find out what
had happened." The phone
calls seriously interferred with
trying to contact extra nurses.

True, some were there to help
hut too many were curiosity

to do the work have plenty of

One of the officers connected
with the accident last week
made the remark. “If we fined
these people a time or two we
wouldn't be bothered nearly so
much."
