RotNNIE enlisted in the Army yesterday.
He was only l8 and we wanted him to
~ wait till he was 20 but he said: Heck!

His mother cried little but she was very
proud. guess my eyes were sort of misty.
too. l wouldn't mention it but, somehow,
today we feel more kinship and sympathy for
and with millions of other Americans than we
did before. We feel kinship with all the boys
who are in the armed forces of our country
And we really know how other millions of
parents feel.
Johnnie looks very manly in his uniform
But the blur in our eyes played queer tricks
on us. Somehow we didn't see a boy suddenly
become man. We saw a little toddler just
able to move about alone He was the bright
est and most considerate of our babies. He
never cried or demanded anything when he
woke up in the morning. He just slipped out
of his bed in the children's room and came
tiptoeing into our room, trying hard not to
awaken us. A mouse couldn't have been
quieter and often he had slipped into our bed
before we knew it. We would half-open our
eyes and see that sweet little face, with
smile that was mischievous even then, as
fresh as sunrise on dewy morn. :. guess
we shall always see Johnnie looking just like
that.
Dur now, facing the resolute young man in
uniform. it's hard to realize that he and the
curly-headed tyke we remembered were ac-
tually one and the same. How had this miracle
of Transformation been wrought? What had
become of the years between? We knew he
look in his eyes. the same eager questing for
adventure the same interest and faith in the

Uncle Sam wants lots Of 'em
WHEN Y0u see 23-year-old lieuten-
ants ordering colonies to eat their
spinach, commanding majors to stick
their tongues out. telling generals when
they may get up, you're not looking at
an Abbott and Costello movie-you're
in an Army hospital!
Those trinity starched young ladies',
eyes alert beneath their pert white
caps. are officers in the Army Nurse
Corps. The senior Army Nurse is
Col. Julia Flikke. She is in charge of
thousands of the lieutenants and cap
tains on nursing duty throughout the
service.
A GIRL who chooses an Army career
marks herself unmistakably as "all
nurse" interested more in action and
service than in soft jobs or rich hus-
bands. The glamor of the job is confined
to the movies. The rewards are more
spiritual than financial. But when
there's trouble afoot and dirty work to
be done, the volunteers come flocking
in. In this war the first call went out
for Is, 600 volunteers - and thousands
more are needed right now. To lessen
the shortage an intensive campaign has
been opened by the Red Cross to re-
cruit girls for training as nurses, not
only for the Army but for civilian
service too.
Recently, Capt. jeanette Blech,
chief nurse at Fort Dix, received orders
at 2 PM, to round up 50 qualified
nurses for foreign duty. 1t was tough
order but before five o'clock that after
noon she was phoning in the names of
so girls to Corps Area HO.
And you don't pick Army nurses out
of the air. To qualify for the Regular
Army Nurse Corps you must be
citizen, unmarried, holder of an
RN degree from an accredited training
school, and between the ages of % and
80. For the Reserve Corps you must
meet the same requirements except
that the age range is Il to 40.
PAY STARTS at $40 a month. in
creasing every three years to Sl3O,
with $50 additional for chief nurses.
And although this seems small COM
pared to wages for private work, it
includes good meals and quarters, laun-
dry, uniforms, medical. dental. hospital
care and, ultimately, a pension - if she
doesn't fall in love with some charming
Army man and marry him.
These girls with the bars on their
collars bring something more than a
consummate skill to their jobs: they
add a woman's tact, sympathy, under
standing. And they have done soldiers
work on every front in the world.

Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service

Mrs. lone Kaufert Of the State

also visited Mrs. Baron of Pine City.
During the past week Miss Nelson,
assisted by Miss Mildred Hickman,
who is doing her rural public health
field work in Pine county, inspected
the children of the District 80 school.
Six mothers came to witness the
health inspections of their children
This is very encouraging. 1t shows
that the mothers have an active in
terest in their children's health and
school work. The mothers pres
ence makes the inspections more val
liable because the nurse can get in
formation about the child's health;
and, in turn the mother can ask the
nurse for information pertinent to
health problems of the family. By
coming to the school, the mothers
help decrease the time spent in fol-
low-up work. This is in accordance
with the rubber and gasoline con-
servation program, too.
Home Care.
In making home visits this week
the nurse had the opportunity to
teach young woman how to give

sugar. She also reviewed the in
structions for the diabetic diet as
prescribed by the family doctor
After the nurse completed her teach
ing, the daughter gave return dem
onstration to the nurse. The daugh-
ter did the procedures very well, and
the mother will get along nicely
with her daughters care.
