NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
FIourishing In Small Towns
Throughout Country.

More than $1,000 graduate nurses
have been enrolled in the American
Red Cross to date and Its department
Of nursing is daily increasing this en-
rollment
The department Of nursing has been
authorized to maintain an adequate
reserve of nurses for the army and
navy. 1t will continue to supply the
needs Of the United States Public
Health Service to which it has as
signed more than 1000 nurses in the
last year.
1t will assist in establishing proper
nursing service In foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has or
ganized hospitals, dispensaries and
schools for nurses. Courses In home
hygiene and care of the sick have been
started for thousands Of women who
have never received any education in
this direction. Rural nursing which
was in its infancy short while ago
has been put ahead at least decade
through the work of the department
of nursing and local Red Cross
chapters.
Public health nursing has been ex-
tended to many rural communities and
now fiourishes actively in hundreds Of
small towns and counties. Nearly a
thousand efficient nurses have already
been assigned to this kind Of work.
The department of nursing is unit
ing with other organizations in years
campaign In recruiting nurses for
training schools. in educating the gen.
eral public as to standards of nursing
education and in showing communities
their responsibility toward schools Of
nursing. 1t will endeavor to meet all
these needs as well as to continue the
enrolment Of dietitians who will be
utilized as instructors in home dietet-
les, in developing nutritional clinics,
and In supplying dietitians for the
United States Public Health Service
and the civilian hospitals.
The Nursing Service will continue to
offer to women and young girls the
opportunity Of securing instruction in
home hygiene and care Of the sick in
every community in the country. This
instruction has not only laid the foun-
dalton for public health but In some
places has given impetus to the estab-
lishment Of hospitals and community
achool houses.
"As community profits by the work
Of the nurse" says Miss Clara d.
Noyes. director Of the department Of
nursing, ut is logical that the COM
munity should be aroused to its respon-
sibility. The American Red Cross
stands ready to help in general cam
paign Of recruiting and must have the
support, sympathy and understanding
of the medical profession as well as
the intelligent cooperation of the
people at largen

Many Yachts Passing Through Canal
More yachts have been passing
through the Chesapeake and Della
ware Canal, bound for Southern
waters. than in many years.
The fact that no toll charges are
made for passage through the water
way and that many crafts used in
the war are now back to their owners
is believed to account for the heavy
pleasure traffic.

|. WEBSTER WARREN
FOR REPRESENTATIVE

As the time for the selecting of
candidates by the two great political
parties for various state and county
Offices is drawing nigh, 1 would like
to express my views as to the logical
man to represent the First Represen-
tative District of Sussex county in
the State Assembly during the next
two years.
Mr.. 1. Webster Warren. surveyor
and farmer, of near Glendale, a man
whom we all have learn to respect
and love, is the logical man for the
position. He represents the best type
of citizenship His moral and intel
| lectual capacities and versatility are
unquestiOnable. As a business man.
! he has been quite successful; and I
I conscientiously believe beyond the
! peradventure of a doubt that we
could never find man who could and
would represent us better during
these days of reconstruction and re-
habitatiOn then he.
Mr.. Warren is a very open-minded
practical gentleman, and capable of
being listened to. l am, however,
quite sure that selfishness is as far
from his mind as the poles. Today is
the psychological and logical time to
have men as legislators who know
our needs and tenaciously persist in
working and if necessary fighting for
them.
Politically, Mr.. Warren is a Demo- /
crat, and of course, it will be only
by the graces of his party that the
voters of the First Representative
District can have an opportunity to
vote for him at the next general cleo
ton; but if the Democratic party
does name Mr.. Warren, I believe the /
whole people of our district and
state as well will receive his undivid- I:
ed intelligent deliberations and ac-
tiOns.
Mr.. Editor, permit me to say that
Mr.. Warren is not seeking any Of
flee and this letter was not solicited
by him; therefore, this fact iustifies :
me and every other good advocate of
progressive measures to
work increasingly for him, both in the
and in the general election. :
Yours very truly.

THE WAGE AWARD which agreed upon for
railway employees by the Railway Wage Board appoint
ed to consider and report referee has been made
known and the award amounts to increase in the
wages of the men to a sum approxmatng $6O0OOOOO0,
and is retroctye to last May and therefore falls upon
the taxpayers under the guarantee of run
ming the roads until next September. The New York
Times on Wednesday editorial the award said:
award is binding upon the country TO pay, but it
is not practicable to make award that men must
work The authority of the award depends upon the
support public opinion. This is not unalterably
fixed but the presumption is that the award is just
and should be accepted by the men, as it must be by
the country. 1t is not reasonable to expect that the
men should accept without criticism award less
than asked by nearly half But is it not right TO
ask the men, even the OUTLAW" strikers. to consid
er the needs of the country and even Of the world
in connection with their Undoubted necessities?
The wages allowed are the highest ever known. The
finances the railways in time of prosperity would
be approaching insolvency but for the assumption of
deficits by the Treasury for all but bakers dozen
of companies. An increase of billion dollars in
revenue was necessary before this award, and must
be increased by is per cent to care for the wages
now increased There are not why any
railway man should accept less wages than he can
earn elsewhere Nobody is asking of them 10
make any sacrifice for the country. The business
like any other business, must pay the neces-
the workers consider whether it is TO their in
to cripple the industry with which they are as
sociated by wage forced nreasOnably high.
