Recruiting Officer Lists
Volunteers; May Select
Preferred Service

TWenty-seven young men sent
from this city have been enlisted in
the U. S. Army at Hartford this
week, local army recruiters an

unteers indicted since Thursday
Raymond and Antonio Rosa, John
Palmieri, John Yurchyk, Dominic
Spadola, John Mccarthy, Edward
Pietrowski, Philip HOLMAN, Joseph
F. RybcZyk.
Although the army has now re-
versed its previous policy and decid-
ed to make public the names of the
young men accepted for volunteer
enlistment, recruiters have been Or
dered not to reveal the type of
service to which the mustered men
have been assigned.
Sergeant william Deuth, head of
the recruiting staff in Waterbury
announced recently, however, that
vacancies still exist in almost every
branch of army service, from the
signal corps to the medical corps,
and from aviation to ordnance. Vol
unterS who can meet the require
ments are virtually certain of being
assigned to the type of service they
prefer, he said.
A further contingent of five men
was sent from here to Hartford to-
day for final examination. All of
these applicants will in all prob
ability be accepted, as the local sta
ton has had no reflections among
the more than 80 men sent to Hart
ford this month.

Johnny slammed the door as the

er's knee, not at all interes ed in
the proceedings. The nurse noted
that her face was flushed, and
that her feet and ankles were bad
ly swollen. She questioned the
mother.
"They all had scarlet fever last
summer, and Helen don't stay
well, She cries all the time, even
at night"
The nurse knew that the child
was really ill, and when she took
her temperature, found that it was
102 degrees. She insisted that a
doctor be called.
Its her Kidneys" the mother
told the nurse the next morning.
He says to keep her in bed, but
she cries SO, and climbs out when
I'm busy with the baby"
Il think we can do something
about that" answered the nurse
She unwrapped a package that
she brought with her. In it was a
box of paper dolls, with numerous
changes of clothes, molding clay,
squares of wrapping paper, and
a box of rayons-enough to keep
a little one busy and happy even
in bed.
Now she had two patients, and
they were under her care for over
three weeks. During that time she
was able to give instructions in
numerous health habits. She
planned diets with the mother
steWs, vegetable and cream soups,
and dishes that could be prepared
after the children's early bed time.
She discouraged the habit of CIV
ing candy to them to keep them
from crying, and proved, with the
new menus, that much of the fret
fitness was due to lack of proper
nourishment. She also stressed the
necessity of a careful checkup at
regular intervals following any
serious illness.
A Visiting Nurse enters a home
to care for specific case, but her
services embrace the general we'll

she finds another member of the
family much more in need of her
services than the patient.
