Zee is composed of Mesdames Oscar

This registration was started some

Then there is tho ever pressing
need for Red Cross nurses. The rec.

active service and that with the first
American army scarcely in the field.
the need for Red Cross nurses will
increase rapidly and constantly, CIV
ing the women an opportunity to
make sacrifices and to serve their
country in keeping with the sacri.
fices made by the fighting men Of
the nation.
There will be plenty Of room for
nurses in the cantonments in Amer
lea as well as back of the fighting
line in Europe. In addition to the
nurses, there is a vast number of
openings for nurses assistants. For
this class Of service it is required
that the applicants have had work
in an accredited hospital. Full in.
formation may be had from the local
Red Cross headquarters.
Women over 21 years of age who
have had at least two years work in
a recognized training school and who
meet the other requirements, may
enroll for service and be in position
to render vital service to the arms
o: the nation. The latest Red Cross
bulletin points to the fact that this
offers the women their largest op.
portunity to enter the service amt
help solve the nursing problem.
