] Saturday night was pig night for
the Kenosha nurses. Nurses practicing
in Kenosha, nurses who haven Il prac-
tieed from five to twenty years, nurses
just in training and lastly, "would-
be- nurses marched through the streets
of Kenosha, spick and span in their
uniforms, heads up, eyes filed with
that glorious light Of service or the
remembrance thereof, all parading for
that wonderful new drive launched
/ throughout the United States. And in
every city of every state of the onion
the graduate nurses and those in train
ing assisted the recruits in their first
parade. Through some misunderstand-
ing only four Of the fourteen recruits
enrolled, turned out for their first DEM
onstration Of loyalty, but made up in
enthusiasm what they lacked in mum
bers.. AL along the line of march the
nurses division drew round after round
of applause from the admiring specta-
tors and they are hoping that some Of
the young girls who displayed such
marked enthusiasm are opening their
eyess6o the great need of the day and
will place their names on Kenosha S
new honor roll.
The line of march was short, but COW
cred the districts that are most densely
populated on Saturday evenings. The
parade was led by our famous police
platoon followed by the SINCE band,
the Provisional Battalion, the Nurses
Division and finally Co. B Of the State
Guard. The Nurses Division Of course
was the most popular. The graduate
nurses, both active and retired in their
Red Cross caps and their spotless white
uniforms, led the division. They were
followed by the nurses of the Kenosha
Hospital Training School, in the blue
and white stripe costumes of the stud
ent nurse. Lastly came the four re-
crlits and although they were in
civilian clothes, they had the same
happy light in their eyes, the light
Of service, that glowed in the eyes of
every costumed nurse. In the division
were several Boy Scouts who carried
posters inviting the public to join the
U. 8. Student Nurse Reserve.
The line Of march ended up at lii
brary Park where the nurses, facing
the members Of the home guard who
stood at "Parade Rest gave the oath
of allegiance to the flag. After the
short ceremony the division was led
back to the hospital where its tired

The parade was the first Of its kind
in Kenosha. It was direct method of
aiding the recruiting for the great drive
that ends this week. So far Kenosha
county has fourteen names on her
honor roll that will count towards the
quota assigned her by the national
government. At the end of the week
she must have twenty-five recruits.
OF course the committee is confident
that the remaining eleven recruits will
! come in during the week. She is also
confident that Kenosha will not only get
her twenty-five, but that she follow
the traditions Of our patriotic city and
over subscribe the quota. Young girls
who will eventually get into this great
movement and there is no doubt but
what every qualified girl will, sooner
or later, are earnestly urged to come
/ in through the drive SO that down in
Washington, Kenoshan g name will lead
Wisconsin in this issue, just as it has
in almost every other patriotic move
ment and call for volunteers Kenosha
girls have got to match their patrio-
tism with that of their boys SO that,
somewhere in France, when our de-
tenders hear about this great drive,
they will be happy to know that the
girls are following them on the road
to victory.
A big aid to the campaign for re-
Icruits in Kenosha was the vigorous
appeal which Father Conway made to
the young women at ST. James church
ON Sunday morning. Father Conway
outlined the need Of nurses and show
ed the urgency of the call to patriotic
young women. He declared that no
more worthy call had ever been made
to women of Kenosha to serve their
