SALARY INCREASE SHOULD
BOOM NURSE ENLISTMENT

Pay of nurses, enrolled by the
American Red Cross for military
service, has been raised to $75 a
month for overseas duty and to $50
month for duty at hospitals at
American camps and environments.
Announcement of the increase has
just been received at Lake Division
Red Cross headquarters. Hereto
fore $50 a month was paid to nurses
sent overseas and $50 a month to
those kept at military work this side
the Atlantic.
Miss Anna Gladwin, acting direc-
tor of nursing at Division headquar-
tiers, says that the increase in pay
should result in the enrolment of
many more nurses.
"There are many nurses who have
wanted to enroll with the Red Cross
and could not because of the low
pay and family Obligations" Miss
Gladwin says.
"This new scale provides salaries
which are about on the same level
with those paid in hospitals.
"In addition, the government pro-
vides the nurses with the same War
Risk Insurance as is provided sol
diers and sailors"

KEEP UP SUGAR CARDS
Mir. Brooks Orders the System Con-
tinued Until February

Montpelier, Dec. 3-The abolition
of the certificate plan Of distributing
sugar to dealers and manufacturers
should not be interpreted as meaning
that the use OF sugar cards in the
sale of sugar to household consumers
is also eliminated, said Federal Food
Administrator Frank H. Brooks.
MI. Brooks specifically orders that
the card system be continued to COW
Ell at least the December and January
sales in those communities where it
has been installed, which means p1ac-
tically the whole state.
In. communities which do not have
thee ard system the allowance to con-
sumers is to be four pounds a month
per member OF the family purchased
in weekly or monthly lots as the con-
sumner desires and dealers must ex-
ercise every precdution to prevent du-
plication of purchases. -.
Dealers and manufacturers no long
er are required to secure crtifatces
upon which to purchase sugar from
the wholesalers but until january Is
at least, they must confine their pur-
chases to u 80 days supply
Mr.. Brooks is instructing county
and local administrators to keep an
eye on prices to prevent any skyrock-
citing of charges to the public for es-
sential food commodities.
The rule that profits can not exceed
those obtained under pre-war condi-
tons still holds good and will hold
good until the food administration
! comes to an end, which is at the for

ident.
