The Need for Nurses

A FEW weeks ago Governor Van Wagner and Miss
n NJ. Annie Leitch president of the Michigan State
Nurses Association issued Joint appeal to Michigan
high school and college girls to consider nursing as
profession Their appeal based on the urgent and
immediate need for $4,000 for armed forces
and the Red Cross.
The need is greater today. More and more
graduate registered nurses are leaving hospitals and
private practice to join up with the army and navy and
marines and Red Cross
Right here in Detroit the shortage of competent
nurses is acute.
Nursing is of the nobest professions of woman
kind II pays we'll furthermore, and offers splendid
field young DESTROYS of carving career for
themselves
A CCORDING to Miss Letch 80 girls wanted for
II classes which start this month through Michigan,
and 1900 for classes which will start in the fall. Any
nigh school graduate may apply.
The girl who enters this can he of two
things Miss Leitch said She is serving her country in
of dire need She is safe in entering the profession
in this emergency because the standards of nursing
schools being maintained at their present high level
The young who enists to defend his country is
patriotic than the young woman who embraces
nursing at this time.
She is serving not only her country, but humanity.

Earthquake CatapuI+s
jumper TO New Record
BY DAMON RUNYON

NtE=IIANE been looking
w through the athletic record
books seeking the worlds rec
ord for a broad jump from a
sitting position, but 1t does not
appear that there is an official
mark for this feat. We find the
running broad jump and the
standing broad jump and the
hop-skip-and-jump, but no broad
! jump from a squat.
Therefore we think we can
safely claim the record for Mr..
Walter Naughton, of the Los
Angeles Examiner. certified
native son of the Golden West
From an arm chair and with
out any preliminary tlcXlng OF
the muscles. Mr.. NauGhton re-
Gently jumped a distance of -
feet 6i2 inches. This record Is
all the more remarkable in view
of the fact that Mr.. Naughton
weighs over 200 pounds, and IS
not as young as he used TO be,
and moreover he had his Stom-
ach in his lap when he jumped.
We are preparing TO submit the
record with affidavitS from eye
witnesses. of which we were one,
TO the AAU.
Mr.. Naughton. who is a first
division veteran OF the hrSt
world war. and whose column
Squads Right in the Examiner
is widely read by his former
bunkieS. performed his amazing
exploit in room on the tenth
floor of a building in downtown
Los Angeles one night. hating
in the very middle o. narration
of how he and his comrades
took nine fortified positions in
the Argonnc before breakfast
one Tuesday morning, TO display
his agility.
TT WAS accomplished in the
i twinkling of an eye MIR.
Naughton was verbally leading
desperate charge and we were
listening open-mouthed w h en-
suddenly there was a cracking
noise which we took 10 be mus
kerry fire that Mr.. Naughton
had somehow summoned by way
of illustrating his tale and the
next thing we knew our story
teller was flying through the
air with the greatest OF ease.
He landed in a doorway and
stood there and as we cOntem-
plated the space between the
chair and the doorway we real
lied that a StupcndouS thing
had occurred. 1t came TO us

TO THE EDITOR:

WHILE listening 10 a musical
w program on the radio the
other night | heard a we'll
known orchestra leader dedicate
a selection 10 the men of the
marine corps. 1t was the ia
nous song of the United States
Marines, the marines hymn.
This has always been to me
an inspiring song symbolic of
the courageous and patriotic
spirit of that service. The or
cheStra leader after due build
up proceeded TO lead the band
IN the playing of this famous
piece. iazZ-style. A song about
our heroeS-in Swing-time.
The tune became 50 dis
tortcd by AUTHORIZATIONS and
iive-madneSs that it would be
hard 10 distinguish il If one
had not heard the title men
toned.
Perhaps in the not so distant
future We can expect TO hear our
national anthem played in the
same sacrilcglouS manner by
some over-ZealouS SwingStcIS
who don't know where 10 draw
the line.

TT doesn't check with what is
Il being demanded from other
classes in other fields that in
duStry give up its occupation,
that small business submit 10
ruin. that families be broken up
into cannon fodder. that VIC all
give up convenienceS and change
our very manner Of living
above all. that we do all this
as we are doing it-without
complaint or attempt AT evasion.
What is going on here has not
been made plain enough to the
country, or 10 the farmers and
workers themselves.
They arc as stepped in the
American doctrine of equality Of
sacrifice in war as any other
class.
They are simply being misrep-
resented by their spokesman.
As the President has sug-
geSted, the price control bill
must be amended. 1t is time TO
do that now before great harm
results.

like a fash that athletic history
had been made before our very
eyes.
We were still gazing at Mr..
Naughton in admiration when
we became CogniZant of the
building doing a slight rhumba
which we attributed to the
force of Mr. Naughton'S land
ing. Then we noticed another
native son, Mr.. Leonard Gold
stein, heading for the doorway
and heard him muttcr:

"Nhy not >" we asked. THAT

ITS an earthquake" said Mr..
GoldStein. Get under this
beam"
Well. at this news we en-
deavored TO ioin the boys in the
doorway. but Mr. Naughton
occupied all but an inch of the
space there and Mr. Goldstein
filled out this inch and when
we tried TO SCroonCh in among
them they nudged us away and
for a moment we forgot our
admiration of Mr.. Naughton'S
jump in our Indignation over

Mr.. GoldStcin had 10 90 home
because he had swallowed a big
cigar and wanted to take some
biCarbonate of sod a to cXtin-

they almost had a fight about

Mr.. Naughton was quite mod

Keep Your Mouth Closed

THIS newspaper few days ago printed story about
the admirable reticence of Detroit defense workers
in discussing matters pertaining to their work. APP
pareny throughout the local industrial there is
general understanding that the best thing for the work
TO say about production is nothing
This bespeaks high and intelligent patriotism on the
part of Detroit workers.
1t should be initiated by all Detroiters.
If you have a a brother husband in the
service, don't pass any information about troop
ments disposition which you may inadvertently get
from him.
D ECENTLY, the Standard Oil Company of California
issued the following bulletin to its employees
"One of the most important ways of contributing
TO of effort is to protect the army and
navy by refrainng from discussing their activities. We
all employees is to i'm silence Don't reveal mill
tary information"
This is a splendid slogan and one that every De-
troiter. every American should take unto himself and
advocate among all his friends and acquaintance

THE MOST destructive and
Il harmful weapon on earth is
a disagreement or some petty
argument that usually slim
ulatcS and grows larger until it
brings hate between two of the
most powerful nations which
are allied.
Today. we, the people of the
United States. arc complaining
about the British Isles; that
they arc not doing what they
should, and the British think we
aren't doing our part.
How can these two nations
bring liberty and peace TO this
world If they continue arguing
with each other?
This is no time for either of
these two nations TO argue but
get together and work until we
win.
If we had done what our
President begged us TO do for
the last two years and did more
work with less talk, Pearl Har-
Dor and the other small islands
wouldn't have suffered as they
did When Japan first attacked.
/ think that Hitler and the
other AXIS leaders are enjoying
it very much when they hear
about how the United States and
Britain arc getting along-vcon-
slant disagrecments and argu-
mCntS.

War Burden
Don't Want TO Pay Taxes
or Risk Initiation
By HUGH :. JOHNSON

TWO classes Of our people
u seem 10 be determined that
they are not going TO suffer the
effects of war imitation and are
not going to pay any war taxes.
They are some farmers, and
at least the Go group of work
ers. This is simpler than it
sounds.
Taxes are a principal element
in the cost of living. This does
not refer 10 income taxes alone
which. until now, have borne
lightly on workers and farmers.
1t includes the tax element
of cost, which is included in the
price Of everything the very
poorest Of us ConSume-in other
words. the cost of living.
1t has amounted, as this
column has several times shown,
10 about - per cent of the cost
Of living. These are hidden taxes,
They are paid without protest
because they are not seen.
NOV. as we are informed al
~ most daily, taxes are 10 be-
come the principal element in
the cost of living. They are TO
be multiplied
Hidden taxes will be increased
and nearly every Garner will pay
some income taxes. Won't that
hit everybody?
Oh. no. The Go high COM
mand has announced as its
policy. and advised its member
unions to insist. that all wages
be increased just as fast and as
far as the cost of living rises,
In other words, Willie this
class may have 10 pay the in
creased taxes as reflected in in
creased costs. they are 10 get
the money in increased wages.
This. in turn, Will increase
costs which again Will increase
taxes and so through dreary
and never-ending spiral of in
evitable initiation which every
body but the Go members will
suffer.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-02-04

NO. NOT everybody. Another
~ great and politically pow
cTfut class has a very similar
gadget formula. As and where
shortage occurs, farm prices
food priceS-will go up.
The department of agriculture
and AAA have enough contact
with stocks and production to
keep them pretty we'll in line.
But there is a Joker in that
deck. also. Under the price
control bill, they can't be regu-
lated 10 prevent their rising a.
fast as the cost Of living may
which is to say AS fast as
higher taxes, and the impact of
initiation may rise TO increase
the farmers cost OF living.
