Mothers Club Here ! Protests Amendments
Sig Delegation of Waterbury Women to Visit Wash ingtOn, D. C. Friday to Voice Protest

said "convoys mean shooting and shooting means war.
 We believe the action of the administration in carrying on an undeclared war Is Q serious blow to representative government. The constitutional power to de- clare war is in the hands of the Congress. If you feel that you have a just cause for war and can so demonstrate to the coun- try, we call upon you to ask the Congress of the United States for an honest and fortnight declara- ton of war, and let the peoples representatives vote for or against war as is intended by the Consti- tuition of the United States.
 The Mothers of American Sons, Connecticut Chapter, duly as- sembled here do hereby protest against:
 CD The conveying and arfning of American ships.
 CD The repeal or amendment of the Neutrality Act.
 (3) We do most emphatically protest aid to Communistic Rus sia. To quote the words of Q great churchman, Communism is intrinsically wrong and anyone who would save Christian civili- zatlon may not collaborate with 1t in any manner whatsoever"
 We are asked to defend the English way of life, the Chinese way of life, and now the Russian way of life. Are we now respon- sible for the policies of Commun- istic Russia as well as those of Churchill and Chian-Kay- -Shekp We call upon you, the President of the United States, and on our duly elected representatives, to present 6 strong and united front against further aid to Russia, such a front as we would present against any enemy invader that sought to pass the gates of our beloved country.
 The Mothers of American Sons will not wait until an enemy is at the gate to remove the enemy within the gate.
 The effort to impose permanent peace on the world by entering the war, would mean possible loss of freedom to America. By re- taining our moral and economic resources we will be able to con- tribute to the rehabilitation of the world and to make an af- firmative contribution to a method to end war. and to bring about a better understanding among the Christian nations of the world.
 The Moscow brand of democ- racy Is not the kind for which United States parents want to see their sons lease-lent.
 The Mothers of American Sons will continue to give to the world the example of a land where men and women of all races, colors and religions can live together in peace and anity.
 Tn conclusion, may we call to the attention of His Excellency, the President, the words of the great American, Abraham Lin- coln: There is an important

EXPLANATION ON
 NURSES. AIDES
SO.HOurs Training Quail. fies One for Work as
 Assistant

Despite the wide publicity which has been given to the nurses aid courses soon to be offered at both local hospitals, considerable mis- understanding is evident on the part of those who apply for the training, according to Mrs. Arthur Mountain, in charge of interview ing and registering volunteers.
 Many who visit the Central Vol- unteer bureau in the Chamber of Commerce building, she says, are under the impression the 60-hour training courses offer stream lined method of becoming a regis tered nurse. Actually, after success full completion of the training per- tod, a volunteer is fully qualified to do general work In the hospitals, thus freeing the professional nurs- es for the more important or more difficult tasks, but completion of the course does not by any means constitute Q substitution for regular training as q nurse.
 Other applicants, according Co Mrs. Mountain, think they can take tnS CrelnlnS courses Wklko n0lnlnN regular full time positions. Thil again is Q very remote possibility as the courses are to be offered only in the daytime, and are in- tended principally for those whc wish to do something useful in their leisure time.
 The training courses, which will be given as soon aS a sufficient number of volunteers register, in- clude c period of instruction al St. MaSy'S and the Waterbury hos pital, c period of actual work un- der supervision, and an hours writ- ten examination. At the end oi this time, those who pass the course will be able to do general, and non- technical work in the hospitals, and thus relieve the professional Staffs, which would otherwise be heavily overworked.
 Applicants must be interviewed by Mrs Mountain ct the Central Volunteer bureau. Appointments may Do made by calling 4-090s.

 She was astonished, but she couldn't change him. Oddly, she didn't want to. The quick sinking feeling she had experienced when he first told her he wasn't coming back, had somehow been replaced by elation.
 The good feeling persisted, too. As trusted secretary, now, she gave thought to her duties. If Bob himself was returning, that ruled Leana Sorml out or poSSlng the next move. But she herself, as Bob's assistant could surely start preparations for him, couldn't she?
 She had taken charge of things anyway, since he left: such as checking the guards, paying them with money Bob left her, handling the normal business routine. A man expects his secretary to be efficient, and if Bob wanted to transfer everything westward es soon as possible
 Head up, Carolyn went straight way to Leana Sormi, to inform her courteousiy that preparations were already under way.
