The plan now adopted Of temper

the British and French permits the
sending Of National guard and Nation

adequately trained and whose ranks

TO ESSENTIAL WORK
U. S. Employment Service
Will Consider 700 Cases
at Meeting Tonight
INDUSTRIES MUST
HAVE LABORERS

Owing TO a general disregard OF the
numerous requests OF the Community
Board Of the United states Employment
Service that. men now employed in non
essential plants give up their present
occupation. for the time being, and
volunteer for work in the shipyards,
munition plants, or some other essen
tial business, the board is now planning
to draft these men, il is stated.
A meeting Of Community Board No. 1,
comprising the city Of Wilmington,
Brandywlne and Christiana hundreds,
will be held in the Old Federal Build
ing. Sixth and King streets, tonight, at
which time the matter VIII finally be
decided.
The first draft, II is thought, will
take i'm from 700 20 1000 men now at
work in this city in nOn-essential Occu-
pations. That the movement will not
meet with the approval Of all employ
ers is a foregone conclusion, but the
Inability OF shipyards and munition
plants TO secure sufficient help makes
the move imperative.
Some employers appealed to for help
have declared that a further reduction
in their working force would compel
them TO cease operations. This the
board will endeavor to avoid, il posi-
Bile. but unless the needs Of the ship
yards and munitlon plants are met the
help will be drafted even though the
non essential work has to suffer as a
consequence.

MAKES SUGGESTION

The board OF managers OF the Della

special committee 10 establish volun-
teer workers in making surgical dress
ings, in aiding the nurses in caring for
the sick. This action was taken as the
result OF a motion made by Mrs. VIII
liam X. dupont. In proposing this ac-
tion Mrs. dupont said:
"While we all realize that II Is our
duty 20 do everything we can TO help
win this war. It Is sometimes dinlcult
10 know Just what we can do. Here IS
an opportunity In which almost every
woman can render some assistance.
1T does not require a nurse 20 make
surgical dressings, however, and / he
lleve that there are many women in
Wilmington who. when they realize just
how much they can help out in this
way. will be paid TO prepare in their
homes surgical dressings for the hos
pital. II the hospital will furnish the
gauze and other materials which are
needed This would release nurses for
work which can only be done by
nurses because OF their special train
ing"
Mrs. Charles r. Miller, president OF
the board Of managers OF the Delaware
Hospital. in putting Mrs. duPonts mo-
ton before the meeting said:
This day Of all days when 100000
men are Offering their lives for their
country is a fitting day for the women
20 take such action. We arc Just be-
ginning to enter into this tremendous

The free clinic that has been operated
for several years at the Peoples Settle
ment by that organization, with such
success, Will be opened on Monday un-
DER the auspices of the State Council
OF Defense. with the cooperation OF
the Peoples Settlement workers. Pow
erful in the past, efforts will be made
TO make the clinic even more useful
and beneficial to the community.
There the needy children OF the east
side OF Wilmington will receive skill
ful advice and treatment, free OF
charge, except a charge OF ten cents
20 defray the cost OF bandages. Any
week day from $50 TO $50 there will
be skilled nurses and physicians, pre-
pared TO alleviate suffering. While all
The plans are not completed, IL is the
general idea 10 devote two afternoons
each week 10 clinics divided into three
sectiOns-eye, ear and nose; general
ailments and infant ills.
Children examined at the public
schools on the east side, who have
developed some ill that Is not serious
will probably be sent 10 this clinic for
examination and treatment. Among the
important accessories dispensed nee
10 those who were worthy last yea7
were eye glasses for 200 children.
Plans are being made to endeavOc
through the cooperation or a benev-
olent merchant to continue this aid.
People throughout the State, in addi-
tlon 10 the workers Of Wilmington,
are interested in this clinlc. Child
Welfare workers are hoping that in
certain sections where medical atten-
ton Is difficult to obtain, that welfare
centers may develop where children
may be cared for at similar clinics. Ii
some sections, many OF the physicians
have gone 10 war. Others are thus
made more busy nd are scarcely able
10 attend 10 the calls made upon them.
In this situation, many Of the ills OF
children that are considered minor are
being neglected.
I'm the examinations in the draft
scores Of Delaware young men have
been refused, becsuse OF some minor"
ill they developed in childhood that
was not attended 10 promptly. Chief
among these were the ills Of the eyes
and teeth, but chiefly the eyes. II IS TO
remedy such conditions and materially
reduce such things in the next few
generations that the Council OF De
fense is endeavoring to utilize such
clinics now.
