TRAVELLING SALESMEN
Nurses’ Home Ban (From Our Own Reporter) WESTPORT, Oct. 21. The Westland Hospital Board has approved a ban on commercial travellers visiting the nurses’ home of Buller Hospital. The matron of the hospital (Miss N. Pye) said travellers were visiting the home to try to gain orders for their goods. “I do feel most concerned about this,” said Miss Pye. She asked for the board’s support “At present most of the nurses living in are mainly 16 to 17-year-olds. The younger, more impressionable girls could well be encouraged to commit themselves to £5O to £BO bills,” she said. “Until now I have forbidden it, but the other day one traveller went to the home without my permission and informed the nurses that he had obtained it This was completely untrue and, I feel, unscrupulous,” said Miss Pye.
