Help Training
Plans Warmly Welcomed

Trained domestic help by courtesy
of the NYA and the state depart
ment of public education!
News of the domestic help train
ing school TO start in Holtville late
this month brough a flood of in
uuiries froim the housewives of
Imperial Valley, Carl Gober, NYA
supervisor, said.
THE housewives are anxious to
employ the trained girls" Gober
said, They told me they did not
employ domestic help many times
because they could not find trained
ones. That 1t was easier to do the
work themselves than struggle with
training of an inexperienced maid
or nurse"
The first domestic help train
ing school in Imperial county will
begin late this month in Holtville
under the supervision of the Ma
tional Youth Administration and
the state department of education.
In the first group will be IS girls
selected rom all parts of the
county for a three to five months
course in homework.
NYA boys at present are getting
a house ready for the NYA girls
to use as training school. The
house adjoins the northwest corner

of the Holtville High school grounds.
Holtville school buses will take The
girls to and from the school every
day if they live in the Holtville
district. The NYA will provide
transportation for those who live
outside.
An instructor, paid by the state
department of education through
the regular school channels, will give
girls four hours of instruction daily
and two hours of supervised work
in the preparation of lunches, laun-
dry work, and sewing. The NYA
will pay the girls $18 month while
they are training.
Lunches the girls prepare will be
composed of surplus commodities
provided by the SRA for the under
rivileged children in the Holtville
schools.
One of the five bedrooms in the
training house will be equipped as
nursery. In the nursery girls will
receive training in child care. An
other bedroom will be equipped as
sick room where they will be
trained in caring for invalids and
persons suffering from temporary
Illnesses.
The course of study planned for
the girls includes practically every
thing. They will be taught how

Britain and intensification of the
war at sea in a desperate effort to
cut Britain's lifeline of supplies,

Whether the Far Eastern AXIS
partner, Japan, will time move
to coordinate with the Nazi seem
ario is not yet certain. But Tokyo
is in the midst of oStenSible prep
arations for grand drive into the

bastion of Singapore would be the

Britain is we'll aware of this pros

the Axis with surprise on the

turn up in Turkey or Greece the
Germans would have an opponent

Bulgaria's adherence to the Axis
was proclaimed at Vienna in a typ
cal Axis ceremony at old Belvedere
palace in the presence of Adolf Hit
Ter. Foreign Minister Joachim voa
Ribbentrop, Count Galeazzo Ciano,
italian foreign minister, and Gen.
Hiroshi Oshima, japanese ambas-
sador to Berlin.
Ribbentrop jubilantly asserted that
Bulgaria would not be the last
country to join the Axis and that
more and more nations would sign
up as partners in the Berlin-Rome-
Tokyo triangle.
This spotlighted the position OF
,JugoSlavia, sole Balkan nation re-
naming outside the war lineup.
Jugoslavia seemed to playing for
time. Amid all the excitement her
foreign minister, Alexander Cincar-
Markovtch. peacefully spent the day
sightseeing in Budapest where he
had gone to renew friendship with
Hungary.
There seemed to be chance that
Britain has not yet lost hope OF
steering Jugoslavia out OF the Axis
orbit.
Although it generally was drown
ed out by the Axis drum-beating
over Bulgaria, the British were
quietly pleased and confident as
result of Foreign Secretary Anthony
Edens discussions with Turkey.
1t was believed in London that
Britain had created in Ankara a
firm line OF resistance which may
halt the Axis drive IN Thrace, the
strategic province Of Turkey-ln-

only completed about half of his
1850 word prepared speech.
Wheeler's lengthy address, in
which he charged that the measure
would strip us of our defenSeS, in
wife the chief executive to plunge
the country into war, and create
dictatorship" touched off the most
vigorous and colorful debate of the
entire two weeks Of discussions and
brought angry charges by admini-
stration supporters that the oppoSi-
ton was filibuStering.
Wheeler denied the charge and
pointed to today's schedule of wit
nesses-himself in opposition and
Lucas and Sens. James NJ. Tunnel,
D.. Del, and William H. Smathers,
D. N. j., for the bill-as the best
proof that the opposition was not
responsible for all the delay.
Administration leaders remained
confident that the bill would pass
oy a two-to-one majority late next
week, but opposition leaders said
ii would fail of enactment unless
supporters accept sub tantia /
amendment-a course which APP
peared highly unlikely today.
Lucas prepared speech answered
opposition charges that the aid bill
was a war measure and that its
passage would create a dictatorship
in this country.
u do not think" he said. that
the people Of the United States are
much alarmed by such allegations.
The people have learned to Judge
man by his deeds. The people
know that the President of the
United States loves peace.
They knew that the man who
conceived and executed the great
program Ct social justice that he
gave them is not, and cannot be,
war minded. The people know that
a love for humanity. such as the
President of the United States has
demonstrated, cannot exist in the
same heart and mind as a love for
war.
a heart that beats for humanity
beats on no war drums. A mind
that loves humanity adhors the
thought of war"
Passage of the bill, he continued,
will make certain that the seeds
of dictatorship cannot even sprout,
let alone grow and survive in the
free atmosphere of these United
States Of America, whether those
seeds are waited in with some for

A BATTLE WE CAN WIN

In 1917 young men drafted for military service examined only superficay for clinical evidence of venereal disease Today chemical blood and bac- astrological tests are made with the result that the afflicted are far more surely detected Because of this new thoroughness it might be expected that more cases of syphilis and gonorrhea would be brought to light in l941 than revealed in 1917 Yet Surgeon General Parran assures us that among 6300O drafted men only one-seventh as many of syphilis and only one-third many of gonorrhea were found in 1917 Some progress has evidently been made in curbing one of the major menaces to the nations health.
 Where these 5000 men came from we do not know If they represent fair sample of the nations manhood, Surgeon Parrans comparison is encourag- ing Until very recently it assumed on the basis of investigations conducted in specific areas that there are about 6,o00,O00 syphitcs in the country The American Social Hygiene Association reduces this figure to 45000OO on the basis of national bling All of which proves the importance of the correct statistical method.
 How the venereal diseases are to be controlled in the general population is problem that the Scandinavian countries have solved In Sweden, for example, syphilis is disease that students of medicine actually find difficult to acquire clini cal experience in dealing with it. Denmark and Norway have almost equally good records. The for this success is to be found in the approach In this country the venerea diseases still regard ed as moral scourges rather than medical prob lens. If they made reportabe in every state and territory, if each source of infection down, the American Social Hygiene Association would have only few hundred instead of millions of cases to report.
 Not until we handle syphilis and gonorrhea actly handle scarlet fever, typhoid and diph- theria are we likely to solve the problem.

capable soldier is more concerned with facts than theories. Gen. George c. Marshall, chief of staff of the United States Army, is qualified mili tary with job to do. The job is to defend the United States and the Western Hemisphere Hence he is not interested in abstract discussions what constitutes the Western Hemisphere. He wants to protect the hemisphere in whatever way is most practicable from military point of view.
 For these reasons Gen. Marshall in his report to Secretary of War Stimson asks that legislation which prohibits the dispatching of American troops out side the hemisphere be removed Such restrictions were imposed because they sounded well, because the public was not then fully informed the real nature of the German menace and because two de- cades of pacifist propaganda had softened public opinion to the point where it believed the way to escape the consequences of was to pass laws making it difficult to get into

 Gen. Marshalls words should be needed
 Americas defense powers being curtailed by existing statutes, the hemisphere is laid open to at- tack and the resulting expenditure of men and money is bound to be enormous. The initiative is passed to the avowed enemy. Hitler can fix the time and place for his assault on the Americas and
