Miss Gwen O'Neal, Red Cross Executive Director, announced that some 30 boys and girls from the Anaheim School District have been recruited for tailor-made hospital assignments that will give them the first-hand satisfaction of helping others. The volunteer youth program has been worked out with Mrs. Lou Harris of Orange County Hospital, Mrs. Gloria Jamieson of Fairview State Hospital and Mrs. Edythe Boland of Long Beach Veterans administration Hospital. Six of the Red Cross youth volunteers have already been assigned to work weekly at the Long Beach Veterans Hospital. Often called wheel chair jockeys, these volunteers must be, as Miss ONeil put it, "fleet of foot and long on wind." "And to find the way in the complex of wards and buildings at Long Beach they must have substantial mental equipment also." The medical staff of Fairview, under the direction of Dr. Dan Castle, has asked the Red Cross to assist with a pilot program involving approximately 60 patients whose need for companionship and the assurance that some one cares is an essential part of their therapy.
