Yourself
Parable Has Moral
For Soldiers Wife
By ALICIA HART
NEA Service Staff Writer

So your husbands at camp and
it's highly uncertain if and when
you can visit him-and you mud
die along, tense and planless?
So you're happy but desperate
when you realize you're leaving in
six hours. You cancel your ap-
pointment with the hairdresser,
buy necessities helter-skelter, pack
in terrific rush, and get on the
lain or plane in heap.
Without thinging of washing
your face or tending your locks,
You try to sleep in the morn
ing plough through those scram-
bJed suitcases in search of tooth
brush and cleansing cream, and
barely get ready to alight at the
proper station And it surprises,
hurts you a little, to note from
his expression of concern that you
look as if you had been in battle.
Something like that will happen
if you don't get off to a peaceful
start.
So you recognize now that the
uncertainty of your going is good
reason for having it planned and
prepared.
So you shop for necessities, both
travelling clothes and makeup, to
day, and you keep your appear
ance up to standard. So you get
on the train or plane without ex-
cess baggage but with essentials
in ordei your makeup case
or even a box complete wi h
cream, toothbrush, soap, night and
cleansing creams handy, and a
washcloth or lotion for a quick
freshening in the morning.
You arrive rested and composed,
and you get off at the. station
ready to begin enjoying your visit
at the beginning. And you're sur
prised; and pretty proud, to note
by his gladness and relief, thai
you look as if the rigors of war
time hadn't and couldn't touch
you at all

Nurses For The Army

A short time ago some high school girls
fired by patriotism came to the office to
find out if it were possible for them to be-
come army nurses They believed as many
others did that joining the Army Nurse
corps was the best and most direct way Of
aiding their country .-,...,
This was splendid gesture on their part
and while the war department has called
for 10000 nurses, everyone is not eligible
to serve in this field.
To become regular army nurse requires
considerable previous nursing training, so
it is expected that most of the army nurses
will come from our hospitals.
Briefly the requirements for an army
nurse are: must be between % and 80 years
old, unmarried, citizen of the United
States, graduate of an accredited high
school, graduate of school of nursing
and also be registered nurse.
With those qualifications girl can en-
ter the Army Nurse corps with the relative
rank of second lieutenant at an initial
wage of $84O year.
Women between 81 and 40 years old can
become reserve nurses, but even for the
reserve they must have had full nursing
training.
In the last war 1000 women joined the
Army Nurse corps and were stationed
wherever American troops fought.
If that many nurses are taken from our
hospitals, there will be serious shortage
on the home front. Which means that an
equal number of younger women must be
recruited for nursing training and service
in the hospitals while the full-fledged
nurses are gone to war.
Therefore, any young girl who now de-
cides to take nursing training will not only
be learning an excellent profession but will
indirectly be playing vital role in the de-
tense of her country.

The New Year, 1912

Young 1912 has arrived. 1t is new for
everyone and to everyone we wish "Hap-
Ply New Year.. Happiness may not appear
within the grasp of many of us while the
world is now in a turmoil; but with the
New Year, comes renewed hope that we

suit of happiness"
Citizens of Ashe county as we'll as all
Americans are facing serious New Year.
But it is to be a year that Will offer I'M

It is year in which high accomplishments

to be done behind the battle lines. Farm
ing and industry are to be two important
factors in victory. It is total war and ev-
eryone must do his or her part. But with
it all we must plan and carry on for the flu
ture Here in Ashe there are many things
that we must try to bring about
We are pleased that during the year
the county made much progress in the field
of agriculture, health, education and in 9TH
er ways. Such advancement not only
makes for progress in the county, but more
fully prepares our people to do their part
in the present emergency of helping to win
the war. To this dual purpose, we should
develop industrially as well as in other
fields during 1912 Goals to these ends
should be set up and aimed at.
In summarizing our wishes, hopes and
plans for the New Year, the old latin
phrase; Haec ohm meminisse juvabit- TIT

Prayer For Victory

Today has been designated as "Day OF
Prayer" throughout the United States by
President Roosevelt. And individuals and
groups are asked to pray for the success OF
our nation against evil forces which now
beset it.
Ira T. Johnston, county chairman OF
civilian defense and Rev. John w. Luke,
chairman of the draft board have asked
that everyone in the county join in this OBJ
servance This is a request everyone can,
and should comply with.
Now when our nation is turning NIGH
tv effort toward defense of freedom and
our way of life, and bringing to rapid
conclusion war, that we may maintain
peace on earth. good will toward men, we
need also to grid ourselves with spiritual
armor. We must keep out of moral slumps
and depressions. It is of vital concern that
we maintain at a maximum level the spir
itual characteristics of our people. We must
have strength Of character to meet any sa-
crifice or service that we may have calls
to meet! Without moral courage, victory
in its complete sense~is impossible, Let us
work and. pray for this victory and peace,
that we may maintain the true American
way of life, consistent with Christianity.
