 Lack of money to buy needed equipment need not stand in the way. AS an offtcert there are some things nurse needs to buy, The army emrgency relief has on many occasions loaned money to nurses, One example was group of nurses who were called up suddenly and arrived in Bsto inohtwo0artharth arrived in Boston without sufiiclent funds for overseas equipment. The army emergency relief stepped in and within couple hours the girls had ABR loans, bought their eQQip- ment and were on their way,
 Now many more nurses are eligible for army service since the dropping of the ban against mar ried women. If you are a specialist, the army will commission you up to 45 years Of age. If not a specialist, the age limit is 70.
 Applications may be sent either to Capt. Ruth Taylor, Headquarters Service Command, sos Common wealth Avenue, Boston, Mass, or to Mrs. Emily DeHaas, Red Gross Nursing Service i7 Gloucester street Boston. Do not delay, act now.

NO SOLICITATIONS
 FOR RUSSIAN FUND
Proceeds of Benefit Din. ners, Dances to Be Ac.
 cepted By Committee

Waterbury citizens have contrib uted 4,223.75 to Russian War Re- lief, Inc, according to a report made to the local chapter at It's meeting at 8 Leavenworth street last night by the treasurer, Walter l.. Angle of the Citizens and Manufacturers National Bank. He indicates that this did not include an estimated $4,500 sent this year directly to the national office by Waterbury groups before the local chapter was organ- ized. He reported that throughout the nation the call for aid has been needed so that in It's first year of relief operations the total value of Russian War Relief shipments to Russia has reached $4067, ,703.9l.
 MT. Angle announced that all Of the relief funds are being used to purchase American products, no money being sent to Russia, and that all supplies are being regular ly dispatched to Russia in Soviet ships at no cost to Russian War Relief. He said that according to Edward c. Garter, national presi. dent, of the supplies shipped 90,4% have been medical supplies, 6.0% clothing, knit-goods and blankets 35es foodstuffs and seeds and 0,i% of miscellaneous other items.
 MT. Angle pointed out that In or der not to conflict with the com- munity war chest drive no further constitutions could be solicited by Waterbury's Russian War Relief committee, only proceeds allowed being those obtained through bene- fit dinners, dances, rallies, and by the sale of books, pins and gift merchandise, su?h as Russian scarfs and Russian cook books. Headquart- CTS for the purchase of these is 8 Leavenworth street.
 Miss Elizabeth Wade White, chair- man, announced that e new popular song paying tribute to the people of Russia entitled And Still the Volga Flows" will soon be played by lead- ing orchestras and on radio pro- grams for the benefit of Russian War Relief, Inc.

now are in action in Tunisia.
 The TT. D." is special cannon that can knock out a tank, on a special mount that can outspeed and outmaneuver that tank. The chassis resembles that of our ex- cellent new medium tank which also did well for the British against Rommel. The gun fires, at high velocity and flat trajectory, a 75 or i05 millimeter armor-piercing shell that is fatal to any German tank now in Africa. But 1t fires from no turret.The T. DIS armor IS very light.
 SLUGS, SLIPS AWAY
 The weapons secret Is speed-- twice that of e tank which is, say, 35 miles an hour. Also footwork-- the ability to weave and bob. The T, D. can oyertake tank, dart in, hurl pointblank q half-dozen hot shots that will drill the tanks armor, then dash out again to safe ty. It's crew is taught to seek the slower tanks blind spots. Or 1t can fire from miles off, aided by small, low-fiying planes.
 For protection against planes 1t carries the 50 caliber machine gun that has proven so effective against zeros and Messerschmitts. And when 1t has destroyed all the tanks in the vicinity, the T. D. can seek other targets-trucks, guns or troops It Is quicker to manufacture thar

Army Needs Nurses
 To Care For Troops
Graduates With Psychiatric Training, or in Com.
 municable Diseases, Offered Commissions

The army needs, and needs now, every available nurse. If our troops on all fronts are to have proper care and attention, there must be nurses to look after them.
 That is the challenge. Nurses with all types of training and all sorts Of experience are needed now.
 If you are Q graduate nurse with psycihatric training, or in conn nunicable diseases, or as @ member of an operating team, or who have had supervisory experience, the army has an officers commission waiting for you. Nurses are also needed for training as administra. tors in army hospitals.
 The opening of new front In Africa has pointed the need for ad- ditional nurses. Wherever there are American troops you're pretty cer- tain to find army nurses. Many have seen much action, like those in Bataan and Corregidor or on the islands of the Southwest Pacific. One of these is It. Mary M. St. John, now at Fort Banks, Massa- chuSetts, who did heroic work with our forces in New Caledonia. For eight months she was soldier be- hind our solder%in that far Pacific outpost. After her experiences there, she says she "never will kick about anything from now on"
 Then there are the operating teams, those little groups of four nurses, one an anesthetist, who, with & doctor or two, travel as Q unit. They are mobile units that move with the troops, whether by air, by train, Or by motor. One of these operating or surgical teams gained national attention few months ago for its mercy flight from Westover Field to Fort Devens for an emer- gency operation. The flying team got the cali. flew to DeVens, performed

LIGHTS

There's nothing so grand or glorious As just little light, It dispells all the darkness And makes lives so bright, It was the first of all creation By some miraculous power That shown upon that great immensity In that first perfected hour. And now there many lights, The sun is shining in the daytime, It sends gleam all the earth And the moon and stars si:ine in the nighttime To show bur pathway in the dark. So let us work in all the sunshine, And rest through the night, And ride out other time When all these scenes bright Just now there's many light gone out Along these busy streets, But later the will shine And melt the Snows and sleets. And when this cruel war Is done Ard our dreadful foes subdued, AxH the last victorious battle won, ow boys once more will come ba a hone.
