It is then that college training will help...
...year-old bachelor, Dr. Pisculli was a founder of the American Nurses' Aviation Service, organized to serve in time of floods, storms and other disasters. It was as a representative of A. N. A. S. that Nurse Newcomer, a licensed pilot, joined the flight. She expected to spell Pilot Ulbrich on the 40-hour grind to Rome. When the plane passed over Florence, Italy, Nurse Newcomer, who had taken lessons in parachute jumping, planned to bail out as a gesture in honor of First Nurse Florence Nightingale.
