SIXTY WOMEN
ASKED TO ENLIST
FOR WAR SERVICE
Red Cross Calls For Nurses
Who Need But Little
Experience

An imperative call has been re-
ceived at local Red Cross headquar-
ters in the basement of the Public
Library, asking that Harrisburg as
sist in furnishing a quota of sixty
nurses aids for overseas and home
service. The workers are asked to
enlist Immediately and leave as soon
as possible.
Mrs. James I. Chamberlain has
been placed in charge of the cam
paign in the Harrisburg district.
She has issued a statement setting
forth the qualifications demanded of
just wired division headquarters to
recruit at once sixty women to go
abroad to serve as nurses, aids in
France" says Mrs. hamberlain.
The need for their service is so
great the first group will be expect
ed to sail in August and more in
September.
Washington asks only for those
women who have completed the Red
Cross course in elementary hygiene
and care of the sick. The women
must be at least 25 years of age
and not have a father, husband,
brother or son in the service"
AS a means of sounding the call
for the nurses aids, publicly has
been given to a statement issued di-
rectly from the Della
ware division headquarters. The
statement follows:
Are there any women in Harris
burg over 25 years of age who have
taken the Red Cross course in ele-
mentary hygiene and home care of
the sick who want to go to France
at once and serve as nurses aids? If
so they should get an application
blank from Mrs. James I. Chamber
lain at Red Cross headquarters. fill
it out and forward direct to Miss
Susan c. Francis. director of the
Bureau of Nursing, Pennsylvania
Delaware division of the American
Red Cross, Philadelphia. Those ac-
cepted will be assigned to duty in
France as nurses aids, or in canteen
service. at rest stations. hospital hut
stations, and other places where a
little knowledge of nursing might be
helpful.
while 1t is to be hoped that these
women will enroll as volunteers for
the above service, the Red Cross will,
in exceptional cases. meet all neces-
sary expenses and in addition nav a
small salary not to exceed $40 a
month. Applicants must be at least
25 years of age. and without a hus-
band, father. brother or son in the
service"
Every resource and every nerve of
the entire Pennsylvania Delaware
division will be strained to the ut
most to meet this demand of ma
tional headquarters, Mrs. Chamber
lain said. Harrisburg district went
over the top nobly in the recent
campaign for nurses. We want to
keep our flag flying in this new cam
paign and I hope that there will be
no capable Red Cross worker who
fails to aid in the drive.
