Committee on Nursing, Of
the Council Of National
Defense, Says Opportuni-
hes Are Many at Home
and Abroad.

What can a registered trained nurse
DO for her country today?
Thousands OF nurses are asking this
question Thousands OF young women
who instinctlvely turn to nursing as
an opportunity for national service
are also asking It.
The things trained nurse can do,
according to the Committee on Nurs-
ing OF the Council OF National De-
Tense. are so many. so varied and I'm
portant. that nursing stands out pre-
eminently as the profession In which
an adequately trained woman can find
an outlet for her patriotic impulses.
The first picture that flashes into
the mind is that of the war nurse on
the other sides The chairman OF the
Red Cross War Council states that
10000 nurses viii In all probability be
needed TO care for the sick and wound
ed OF the American army in France.
Under efficient medical care and nurs-
ing over so per cent OF these are re-
turned to active duty. These do not
include those who will be called upon
to help nurse the soldiers OF our allies
as well as their stricken civilians.
Our allies are sorely in need OF public
health nurses, trained in social serv-
zee in this country.
Regardless. however, of this call
from lover there" America needs an
army OF public health nurses to safe
guard It's own noncombatants and to
aid IN the disease prevention work In

our training camps. Tuberculosis, for
instance, Is foe which will sap the
strength of the army and undermine
civilian life II it Is not controlled.
The tuberculosis nurse has the double
duty OF helping to care for the men
rejected from the national army on
account of consumption and OF help
ing to detect the disease in its incip-
iency among the families she visits.
The welfare of children is tre-
mendously important The public

fore the war. is now indispensable IL
we are to live up to our responsible
ties as nation at war faced with the
necessity of conserving our every re-

depends on enlightened mothers.

lightenment OF the mothers.

the Union troops came from country

ably not be SO high during this war.
but men from the country are Hocking

HEAVIEST SNOW IN
MANY YEARS FALLS
Over One Foot Came Down
Since Last Night.

The most consistent winter, SO far
as snow, ice, cold and storms are
concerned, since 1881 added further
insult to injury last night when
over foot of snow fell after II
o'clock. Already disheartened by the
previous deep SHOWS of the winter,
residents were amazed on docking
out of doors this morning to see an
other deep one covering the ground
A number of patriotic citizens at
once began cleaning their sidewalks
but the vast majority evidently i'm
agine that voorhees," and fuel-less"
Mondays would be violated by clean
ing off the snow. Fortunately for the
thousands who are employed in the
mills and factories CLOSED today be-
cause of the Fuel Administrations
order-they did not have to plod
through the snow to work There
was some satisfaction in that.
Ground Long covered
1t has been many years since the
ground has been covered so long
with snow and ice. The first snow Of
any consequence fell on November
rs and 1t will be remembered that
there has been snow or sleet off and
on ever since, with no prospect of it
teing cleared off for weeks to come,
unless sudden and unforeseen thaw
sets in.
Makes Travel Bad
The deep snow makes travel bad
and very few country people have
the courage to venture into town,
but remain close to home, doing the
necessary chores about the place and
not venturing out unless it lis imper-
ative. Also, in many sections the
roads had previously drifted and the
latest downfall makes them practic-
ally impossible
SchooIIeso Day
Because Of the heavy snow the
various schools of the city did not
hold session today.
Hard On Poor
The poor are now up against a
problem and unless the more fortu-
nate people of the community have
compassion these will suffer because
of the present snow. The Social Ser
vice Union will endeavor to look aft
er the wants of all deserving ones
as long as the public contributes
sufficient finances.
