Health Nurse Question
Aired at Meeting

of requests and appeals have
been received by council mem
bers asking that a city health
nurse be employed. The pres
sure brought by interested citi-
zens resulted in the committee
from council.
Board of education members
suggested that pressure and pub.
licity be directed toward the
city health department which has
it within their power to employ
a nurse when council appropri-
ates the necessary funds.
TRAILERS
City Solicitor Charles B.
Holtsberry explained the inves-
tigation council members had
been making of the trailer
problem, and some discussion en-
sued as to how to surmount the
difficulties the schools will en-
counter with an influx of chill
dren from families of workers
expected to arrive in Newark
when new industry gets into pro-
duction.
HALLOWEEN
Appearing before the board
was Mrs. Carl Eric Alden, who
requested that the board of ed
ucation cooperate in controlling
acts of vandalism during the
Halloween season by pointing
out to pupils that destroying of
property, especially during these
times of war would be the same
thing as sabotage.
Figures from last years DO
lice department records show
1900 calls, and over $4,000 in
damage to property.
JANITRESSES
Accepted by the resignation of
Laura Dry, as janitress. Appoint
ed in janitress positions were
Mrs. c. E. Bachelor, Edna Heck

The Newark board of educa-
tiOn meeting in regular ses-
sion Tuesday night listened to
an appeal from COuncilmen
Robert Evans and Frank L.
(Bud) Stare, Jr., in regard to
establishing the position of
school nurse.
DR.. Roland w. Jones, speak
ing as president of the board in
formed the committee from
council that the schools are al
ready $4,000 in debt and that
school nurse could not be en-
ployed without also securing the
services of a doctor. The law
makes the aforementioned re-
quirement.
Superintendent Paul B. Ed
wards pointed out that a school
nurse employed by the public
schools would not be permitted
to serve parochial school children
under the law, and that the
proper place for health super
vision and hiring of a nurse
should lie with the city health
department. A nurse under
their jurisdiction would be able
to serve children both in the
public and parochial schools, as
well as those children OF at
tending school.
1t was then pointed out by the
committee from council that
council has no jurisdiction over
the board of health, and that
the Newark city board of health
had abolished the position of
public health nurse. The discus
sion also revealed that when
funds were appropriated last
year in the health department
for hiring nurse that the
board of health did not en-
ploy one.
The board of education signi-
fled it's willingness to cooperate
with the health department if
some plan could be worked out.

Who Branded
This Turtle?

r. l.. Blizzard of 47O Bal
lard avenue, who is employed
at the HOlOphane company,
was attracted the forepart of
the week by the barking of his
Shepard dog. Upon investi-
eating he found a land turtle
about six inches in length. On
the underside of the turtle, the
inscription 81. l., Ju, 1924" had
been carved into the shell. At
ter 18 years of wear, with the
turtle crawling over ground
and rocks, the markings were
still decipharable, which con-
sidering the date and size
should be some criterion on
the growth of turtles cOmpar-
ed with their life span.

Scarcity

Goods become scarce for
many reasons connected
with the war. Here are the
main ones:
The enemy has cut off
our supplies of some goods,
either by actual invasion OF
the area from which the
goods normally came (as IN
the case of crude rubber),
or by sinking ships which
would carry the supplies to
America.
Some goods are diverted
from making commodities
for civilian use to making
ornaments and equipment
for our fighting forces. Our
fighting men need large
quantities - frequently
there is little left for CIV
ilians.
Labor and machinery are
diverted from making COM
modities for civilians to ma
king ornaments and equip
ment for our fighting fore
es and our allies.
Transportation facilities
are carrying more and
n1ere implements of war
they cannot always be used
to bring goods to areas
where shortages of one
kind or another may de-
velop.
These are the main rea-
sons why rationing has be-
come necessary in the Unit
ed States. We have never
had it before because we
have never been in a war
like this one. We have nev-
er had to fight in all four
l.orners of the earth at once.
This is total war.
It is total war on our ov-
erseas supply lines, too.
We, as a Nation, cannot
live isolated lives. We shop
all over the world. For eX-
ample: We have large fields
of sugarcane and sugar
beets here at home but we
normally depend for large
quantities of sugar on the
West Indies, Hawaii, the
Philippines. We buy wool
fzom Australia and the Ar
gentine. Rubber and tin
come from the East Indies,
tea from Ceylon.

The following story is time
ly and will be of interest to
many readers of The Newark
Leader who remember The
Jewett Car company here. w.
S. Wright, then president of
the firm, now in his eighties
and living in 121 Hudson av-
enue, has written the article
concerning the first Red Cross
Ambulance from America to
land in France in 1917. The
picture was taken in Paris
and shows high official of
the French government, in
specting the vehicle, together
with two Americans who made
the trip to France with the
ambulance. The Americans
lost their lives on the return
voyage when their ship was
sent to the bottom by enemy
actiOn.-Ed. Note.
By w. S. WRIGHT
A most interesting memento
of the first world war has just
come to light with the finding
of the original photograph, a
copy Of which is shown above.
This picture was taken in
France in 1917 shortly after the
entry of America into the con-
flict then raging in Europe. 1t
is in the possession of l.. H.
Swern who has just discovered
it in his attic while rummaging
in boxes of books and old pa
pers.
1t shows an American hand
made motor ambulance which
was the first to arrive in
France for Red Cross service on
the battlefields of that stricken
land.
This truck was built, COM
pletely, in the shops of The Jew
EFT Car company. 1t was de-
signed by and it's construction
was supervised by Mr.. w. S.
Wright who was President of
hiatt concern and who still lives
at 121 Hudson avenue. 1t was
donated by the car company to
the government in answer to it's
urgent call for war materials
at that time.
1t is mute evidence of the
American spirit and will to win
which existed at that time, twen-
ty-five years ago, and still ex-
lists in the hearts and minds of
the great American people in
this-another time Of great
emergency.
1t is testimony, also, to the
skill and ability of the mechan-
les who participated in the con-
struction of the vehicle many of
whom are now dead, but whose
patriotism is exemplified, in still
greater measure, by the glorious
performances of the mechanics
and scientists of today in the
great effort to crush the same
enemy.
Mr.. Swern was superinten-
dent of one of the motor depart
ments of the car company. He
drove this ambulance to Phila-
delphia in mid winter, in COM
pany with Harold Kemp, then
chief craftsman, over the rough
and muddy roads in order to
demonstrate it's ability to with
stand the tough going which it
was expected to meet on the
battlefields.
1t was then demonstrated to
officials in Philadelphia and then
turned over to the Hale and Kill
bourne company, large manu-
featuring concern there which
installed various appurtenances
for ambulance service
in war work. 1t was then ship
ped overseas and landed at LIE
Havre and from there driven to
Paris.
While in Philadelphia Mr..
Swern became acquainted with
the two young men who accom-
panied the ambulance to
France and who demonstrated
it there. They later wrote him
a letter which, unfortunately, he
cannot find, telling of the en-
thusiasm with which this first
motor driven ambulance from
America was greeted on it's ar

American system.
Shall we allow our indiffer-
ence benefit Hitler? That's what
he wants.
Out of 95 precincts in Licking
county only $500 voters turned
out last August in comparison
with 1924 in the 1910 primary.
Something must be done about
that kind of voting, warned o.
Brien, or we will lose what we
are fighting for.
