Take Up Nurse Train
ing Course.

One new applicant for the student
class Of the Red Cross nursing servica
was received at enlisting headquar.
tiers yesterday afternoon, the appli.
cant being Miss Verna Grove, Of Bar
rackville. Miss Grove stated that she
is DESTROYS OF entering a hospital near
home and preparing as soon as posi-
Bile for active Red Cross service.
II the present rate CT enlistment
prevails, Marion county will come tar
short Of what is expected OF her in
the present drive for 5000 nurses for
the service. The nurses asked for are
wanted for immediate service and
must therefore come from the class Oi
trained nurses. While It would seem
that this appeal is made to nurses
alone. the civilian has a part to play
also it has been stated in releasing
for service the nurses now used H.
the homes and to do without trained
nurses as far as possible. The enlist
ments in available nurses has been
very low.
Headquarters will remain open to.
day and Saturday and the feasibility
OF continuing the campaign through
other weeks will then be decided OF.
The enlistment hours are from 2 10
at Red Cross headquarters in the
City building.

BIG IMPROVEMENT
N CAR SUPPLY N
THE REGION TODAY
Production Manager is Ex'
planning Plans to Clarks-
burg Operators.

Today the car supply in the Fair
mont coal region is all that it ought
to be, hut the production will not be
as large as it could be under the cir
cumstances for a variety OF reasons.
One or two OF the operations are ex-
periencing trouble because Of lack OF
power and quite a number Of them
are embarrassed by the presence Of
loaded cars on their spurs. The whole
region is full OF unhauled coal.
The fact that there is an improve
ment / nthe car supply today means
that the trouble over unloading Goa!
in the east is past for the present, but
the congestion of loads at the mines
in all the yards in the region and on
all the side tracks between here and
the mountains means that two weeks
or fifteen days from now there will
he another car shortage in the region.
for while cars are sticking up here
they cannot be unloaded and sent on
their way back to the mines.
Ceal Notes.
Today there are 1854 coal and 81
coke cars in the region.
