"Speed up!" Is the call from Sur
geon General Gorgas to the American
Red Cross In its campaign to recruit
graduate nurses.
With the American army overseas
entering more and more into the fight
ing. he said. the need for additional
nurses becomes imperative.
The call is for 1000 graduate nurses
q week for the next eight weeks. or
5000 by October l, for the whole
country.
The states in Central di,ision-Illi-
nOis. Iowa, Michigan. Nebraska and
Wisconsin-have been enrolling gradu-
ate nurses steadily for military and
naval service. but will redouble their
efforts to meet this urgent request.
The public can help by urging every
graduate nurse to enroll with the Red
Cross. and also by reducing calls upon
graduate nurses in case of Illness
using practical nurses wherever prac-
ticable and learning how to handle
simple ailments In the home without
outside help.
Waste not. want not" will be a new
Red Cross slogan.
Upon request of the war Industries
board the American Red Cross will
undertake q new line of work. the con-
servation of materials now going to
waste.
This salvage campaign will be d.
rected by new bureau Of conserva-
ton at National Red Cross headquar-
ters In Washington and Will call for
cooperation by chapters throughout
The country acting upon instructions
given through division headquarters.
While the Red Cross will get the
benefit Of the material saved or col
lected. the primary purpose is not to
caise funds for the Red Cross but to
save materials needed in the winning
.of the war.
