Mason County Is still Two Short of
Her Quota Of Ten In the United

Reserve.

It was announced yesterday by the
Women's Committee of the Mason
County Council of National Defense
that the county was still short two
young women in the student nurse re-
serve campaign.
Up until yesterday only eight young
women had volunteered their services
although the call has been sounded
for the past two weeks. The young
women seem to take enough interest
in the campaign but when it comes to
enlist and get ready to leave home to
enter hospital for training they say
their family objects and this is the
reason so few young women have thus
far enlisted.
The committee in charge of the
campaign has not become discour-
aged however, and will continue the
campaign until they secure the coun-
TVS full quota of ten women.
All who are interested in the cam
paign can secure full and complete
information by applying at the Public
Library at any time during the day
and it is to be hoped that the young
women will rally to the call and put
Mason county lover the top" in this
campaign during the next few days.
