Walter (Scotty) Ford, form er

In the letter is a picture OF young

Ford writes that he has just re-

Ford wants to know what is do

carried out throughout the United,
States for the purpose OF supple
menting the regular civilian grad
uate nursing staffs of cities and
towns.
For the purpose of organizing a
committee to plan for the training
of voluntary nurses aides in Ju-
neau a representative group of
people held the initial meeting yes
terday afternoon in the offices OF
the Territorial epartm e mt OF
Health.
Mrs. Fred Geeslin was appointed
chairman of the Voluntary Nurses
Aid Committee of the ARC by the
Juneau Chapter, Mrs. Harley Turn
err, vice chairman and Miss Pat
ricia Dooley, secretary. Other COM
mittee members are Mrs. Mary K,

Under Civil Defense
Courses for volunteer nurses
aides have been sponsored by the
American Red Cross at the request
of the U. S. Office of Civilian De-
Tense which has asked that 100000
women be trained for this work
during the next twelve months.
Requirements for women taking
the course are that they be between
the ages of Is and so, are Ameri-
can citizens, have the equivalent of
high school education, will give
service without pay, will take the
training course and give $50 hours
service annually and will take the
20-hour first aid course.
The 80-hour training course con-
sists of class work taught by a
qualified graduate nurse and super
vised practice in wards of hospitals.
In addition to this the 20-hour first
aid course is required of all nurses
aides.
Nurses aides act as assistants to
nurses by making beds, giving baths,
taking temperature, pulse, respira-
ton, assisting with non-steril dress
ings, helping to apply casts and
sings and generally making pa
tients comfortable.
Needs Explained
In explaining the urgent need
for nurses aides throughout the
country Red Gross officials state
that there is an acute shortage of
graduate nurses, due in part to the
needs of our armed forces, our
growing industrial needs. and to
rapid shifts in the population This
acute shortage is accentuated by
Americas entry into the war and
the need for nurses aides will
steadily increase.
Announcement of details regard
ing the beginning of courses in
Juneau will be made in the near
future, Mr.. MacCormac said

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

for the scheme and in fact have re-
sisted it as far as possible. The story
is told in a recent London broadcast
announcing the intention Of Vichy to
employ compulsion. The broadcast
said.
"After weeks in which the German
authorities in France have tried to
cajole French skilled workers to go to
Germany, the Vichy radio has issued
an ultimatum. This said that if the
10000 skilled workers asked for, had
not enlisted for work in Germany by
October Is, a compulsory Gallup of
manpower will be applied to the whole
of Occupied France. This ultimatum
follows a series of threats and blan-
dishments by Laval and his pro-Nazi
henchmen in Paris which has had little
effect In fact, Vichy has itself ad-
mitted that, so far, only 1900 of the
100000 skilled workers demanded by
Hitler have gone to Germany"
A program for writing a peace that
will endure must contain guarantees
of the workers right to organize, says
a significant section on "Peace Objec-
tives" in the annual report of the
American Federation of Labor exec
utive council Proposing that the
peace treaty shall guarantee the wage
earners 'the right to membership in
free unions controlled by the member
ship concerned" the council COM
ments:
Eve have repeatedly witnessed the
initial attack by the new despotism
upon the free labor movement, be-
cause the shackling of this largest
group in democracy left other groups
and interests helpless to make effective
protest. We propose this basic right
as essential for the world democracy
for which this war is waged."

drinking has increased in recent years,
a greater degree of completeness in
figures reported by the states and
cities could account entirely for the
apparent upward trend.
"The 1941 summaries of 22 states
showed 81 per cent more drinking driv-
ers than were involved in 1940's fatal
accidents. The number of drink
ing drivers in 1941 fatal accidents was
up II per cent. The sharp increase
in drunk driving accidents is confirmed
by the judgment and observation of
committee of outstanding traffic ex-
perts."

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1912.
WAR HOUSING IMPERATIVE

Existing housing shortages have
direct effect on labor turnover in war
plants, thereby hampering and slow
ing war production, the American Fed
Grafton of Labor executive council
points out in its annual report. The
council goes on to cite facts that
should be widely known. 1t says:
In war industries designations have
increased between 1941 and 1912 from
81 per cent in aircraft to ~ per cent
in shipbuilding; 81 per cent in machine
tools, and as much as 131 per cent in
iron and steel.
".Checks made in particular situa-
tions have shown that housing accom-
modations were primarily responsible
for the workers decisions to leave
their jobs and seek employment where
they and their families could be pro-
vided with at least livable housing
accommodations.
''In the shipyard centers surveyed,
between 80 and 40 per cent of all res
ignations during the first five months
of 1912 were reported to be due to
lack of housing, and by June this
proportion rose to so per cent of all
quits.
Increase in absenteeism has also
been shown to be directly related to
overcrowding in war centers. Sickness
has taken heavier toll of the workers
and their families, placing an added
financial burden upon the wage Garner
and making direct inroads into war
production"
The councils conclusion is:
AS a matter of war production
alone, adequate provision Of war hous-
ing is imperative"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1942-10-16

n picture of Europe as a continent
IA of hunger is presented in utter
ances of Nazi newspapers and leaders.
From underground sources, the In
ternational Transport Workers Fed
Grafton has learned that though the
food situation in Germany is better
than in any of the occupied territories,
fears of repetition of the first World
War and postwar famines are wide
spread even in the Reich.
Shortages of potatoes and vege-
tables during the summer has so in
creased these fears that the Nazi daily
"Muenchener Neueste Nachrichten
recently wrote of "the nightmare,
haunting the people, of possible nee
essary Tightening of the belt The
speech of Marshal Goering to the eff
feet that the conquered peoples of Eu-
rope would suffer starvation first
served the same purposes.
AS result, boarding of foodstuffs
has become widespread. A few big
'black marketeers" have been SEN
fenced to death and executed, but the
majority, and especially the very big
offenders, carry on their traffic with
impunity. Those who serve the Nazi
party chiefs may feel perfectly safe.
In Holland and other occupied coun-
tries restaurants and hotels have been
forbidden "to serve meals at windows
or on terraces if such are visible from
the street"
1t is now plain that the Nazi plan
to get 100000 skilled workers from
France for German war plants is not
working. AS result, the Vichy French
government, committed to the plan
under Nazi pressure, is threatening to
use force to round up the required
number of workers.
SO far, the French workers have
shown a notable lack of enthusiasm

DRINKING AND AUTO DEATHS

Of the 10000 persons who were
killed in automobile accidents last
year, 8,000-one in fve-had been
drinking. This is revealed in the 1912
edition of Accident Facts, the National
Safety Councils statistical yearbook.
State summaries for 1941 showed,
says Accident Facts, that IL per cent
of the drivers involved in fatal acci-
dents had been drinking. These driv-
ers were involved in one out of six
accidents.
The same summaries reported that
IA per cent of the pedestrians killed
had been drinking 800 of the 13.6OO
pedestrian deaths. The figures indi-
Gated that one in every six adult pc
destrians had been drinking.
Says Accident Facts:

and pedestrians reported to have been
