Uncle Sam Needs
Many MoreNurses

The American Nurses Associa-
ton, the National League of Nurs-
ing and the National Organization
for Public Health are participa+-
ing in recruiting program for
nurses for the armed forces and
also in a program to interest STU
dents in taking training.
The nations nursing needs are
made clear when it is considered
that the Army needs six nurses
for every 1000 men and the Navy
needs three nurses for every 1000
men. For example, the increased
Army of 100000 will require A.
900 nurses which is more than four
times the number now in service.
An act of Congress gives the
responsibility of maintaining a
First Reserve of nurses for war
duty to the American Red Cross.
Single registered graduates of ap-
proved nursing schools between
the ages of 81 to 40 are accepta-
BILE for First Reserve.
District No. of the N. c. Nurs-
ing association, Wilmington, has
been assigned a quota of so First
Reserve Red Cross Nurses to be
enrolled by Sept. 1, 1941.
All nurses il district nine of the
association who meet the require
ments are urged to write Miss
Minnie B. Bailey, 100 Arlington
street, Raleigh.

American woman to have such a
recognized part in this supreme

activities along that line were
confined to selling the empire"
by his personality and charm

But the Duchess let it be known
that she wanted department store
representatives to see the neck
lacs, brooches and earrings made
of jade, coral and tl1rquoise-tinted
shells which she brought W j t h
her. (The ebb in tourist travel has
caused a marked decrease in their
sale in the Bahamas.)
There is nothing on record OF
orders placed, but the Duchess
action is decidedly interesting in
the light of her position and her
reputation for chic. In the alb
sence of the Duke, who was called
back to Nassau by labor trouble,
the Duchess devoted a good part
of her New York visit to the hair
dresser, dressmaker, dentist, and
shopping for her Nassau canteen.

DENVER, June 1.-THE bugle
call, Boots n d Saddles,'' that
summons the U. S. cavalry to
gallant rides, now takes on an
added line:
Boots and saddles and pow
der puffs, if you please!'
Sure, the gals have their own
army. Now they're up to cavalry
tricks. And not on hobby horses,
either.
These soldiers have nothing to
do with the WAAC. They are
members of a civilian defense
project, called Cavalry Corps and
guaranteed to condition its girls
to take the toughest knocks the
war can hand them.
Its captain, Mrs. Blink Gray,
explains its purpose:
'This is junior project of the
American W m e ms Voluntary
Services, for girls from Is to Is.
Any girl of this age is eligible to
join.
1.-THE girls all will be equipped
with horses and will learn cavalry
drills.
'They will have training in first
aid, practical veterinary work
care and training of horses and
practical nursing.
They will be subject to call in
time of an emergency, for duty
in first aid as couriers in civilian
defense; or as mounted patrol
in any civilian emergency, such as
a flood.

Bic Raid Points
Toward Offensive

In the Far East, the allied forces
in Burma were facing strong new
japanese attacks en- three fronts
but fresh Chinese armies were
checking the enemy and making
him pay heavily for gains on the
SalWeen river sector.
japanese reinforcements, headed
by armored units, were attacking
sometimes under the cover of fog,
in the Loikaw and Pyinmana areas
between the Sittang and Salween
rivers. The most important opera
tons appeared to be around Loikaw,
where enemy forces from Thailand
were attempting to out-flank the
Chinese and were said by London
to have reached a point north of
LoikaW. The Chinese previously
had reported heavy fighting south
of that town.
There was a comparative lull on
the western sector of the Burma
front, where the Chinese at last re-
ports were still holding the recap
tured town of Yenangyaung.
In Japan. there was little new in
regard to the series of recent axis
reports of air raids and alarms
One Berlin propaganda broadcast
indicated that Premier Hideki To-
jo was inspecting damaged areas
and that some commanders of home
defenses might face courts-martia
because the bombing attacks were
complete surprise.

tiles in emergency.
6. County farm agents of the
University Of California extension
service will act as enrolling agents
in rural areas.
7. No companies have been lie
ensed yet but should be within two
weeks.
Herlihy explained the great con-
fusion would exist If the morgan
lied militia were to be called up
today, whereas organized training
would produce hard-hitting force
of sharpshooters behind the regular
troops. He cited the case of Eng
land, where 100000 home guards
responded in June, 1910. and grad
ually grew to 100000 force of
trained fighters.
No uniform has been chosen yet,
but may consist of a khaki cover
all with distinctive emblem. Vol
unteers would form their own COM
panies, produce their own officers
and meet often enough to learn
the rudimentS of their duties.

1t was emphasized that final de-

several differences among high adj

The major ones are whether con-

to enact such drastic tax measures
and whether the program should
apply to all individuals and corpor-
atoms or only to those engaged il

Eastern Gasoline
Rotionins Likely

A basic gasoline ration of three or
four gallons a week in eastern cit
les is being considered by govern
ment petroleum officials today.
A scale as low as five gallons a
month has been suggested but pres
ent indications are that the lowest
ration figure would be in excess of
10 gallons a month in areas where
there is an acute shortage

BLOOD AND GAS
Downey said he was convinced
that the public does not want the
bleed of our sailors on their heads
in exchange for the insignificant
comfort of a full gas tank"
IF we are to last out this war
it cannot be done by keeping 80
100000 cars on the road. burning up
gasoline and rubber in fabulous
quantities. when competent officials
have estimated that 100000 autos,
judiciously used and strategically
assigned could keep our wartime
economy functioning efficiently
