Enlisted Through Washington.

The campaign for the u. S. Student
Nurse Reserve goes merrily on. More
and more interest is being shown by
the young women of Kenosha and it is
now quite common occurrence to see
the recruiting station crowded and a
line waiting outside for information.
The young women of Kenosha are re-
spending to this new issue with a zest
that is consistent with that displayed
on every occasion by patriotic Kenosha.
Tuesday the. recruiting station boast
ed over thirty five interested visitors.
The new enlistments included Mrs.
Bertha Head Frost, 500 Durkee avenue;
Margaret Roders, 302 Congress street;
Clara Watkins, Route 1, Evelyn Ingram,
624 S. Chicago street, and Jessie Nolan
of the same address. The girls all en-
rolled in the preferred class.
The Misses Carlotta Cooper and Eliza
beth Lyman sent their applications into
| Washington Tuesday morning having
applied at the National Bureau last
week before the campaign had been
| launched in Kenosha. However they
will be enrolled for the same cause that
the Kenosha girls are daily enlisting
themselves and the possibilities are that
they will not be called for service be-
fore those who enlist here. Miss Gene
We've Kelly, 663 Milwaukee avenue en-
listed early in June and has already
received word from Washington stating
that she has been accepted for service
in one of the Army Hospitals and that
she will receive definite assignment
soon. AS the first class at the Army Hos
/ pitfalls viii begin September first it is
quite probable that goodly number of
Kenosha Is recruits will be called at that
time.
Those in charge of the station Tues
day were; Tuesday morning, Mrs. Wal
ter Cavanagh, Tuesday afternoon, Mrs.
FL. FL. Lane and Tuesday evening, Miss
Lois Northway.
As yet no county women have applied
for enrolment but it is just possible
that they will come in full force at the
end of the week. This wonderful OBJ
portunity for service will not be over
looked by the girls of Kenosha county
as they have always responded Loyalty
to every measure launched in Kenosha.
| The quota demanded by the national gov
eminent is not for the city of Kenosha
but for Kenosha county and it is respected
that the county girls will not lag be
hind their brothers who 50 gallantly
answered the first call for volunteers.
Many of the girls who applied for en-
rollment in the Student Nurse Reserve
had no High School training at all OF
were credited with only one year. Fo1
these applicants was suggested the new
preparatory course offered by the Ken,
osha Red Cross Chapter, and it is ex
pected that several will accept and en-
roll themselves for this new offer. The
course provides for the completion OF
two years of High School training free
of charge to the applicant. The student
will receive board and lodging at the
Hospital but will attend High Schoo
| every day just as she would at home
She will also attend one class a. week
at the Kenosha Hospital Training
School and remain on duty, two days 3
week Saturday and Sunday at the
Hospital. When she has completed he1
two years of High School work she will
enter into training in the Kenosha Hos
pital for the regular three year course
This is perhaps the biggest opening te
young girls planning to become gradn
ate nurses that has ever been offered in
the country and it is just possible that
the many girls with less than two
years of High School work, who applied
at the recruiting station Tuesday, vii
be enrolled for the preparatory work
within few days.
