Trdi|erites Win
Fight With City

Residents OF 81 trailers IN
Wayne. most Of them war plant
workers, today won the first round
of their fight against village or
dinance that would force them TO
move.
Circuit Judge Vincent M. Bren-
nan issued an order temporarily
restraining operation of the ordi-
nance which would limit the stay
of trailers on the lots of private
dwellings to two weeks A hearing
on the merits of the petition for a
permanent injunction will be held
October 30.
The trailerites told the court
that the law. which also provides
for the licensing of regular trailer
camps. would prohibit them from
removing the wheels or tires. They
told the court that they have al
ready done this and il forced to
move would have to abandon their
trailers.
They argued also that they
would lose their voting franchise If
forced 10 move now. Most of the
residents work in either the Will
low Run or Stinson aircraft plant.

Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service

This week Miss Nelson has COM
pleted inspection at the Sandstone
school.
In these inspections during the
past year, great many among the
children have been found to be mall
nourished. Good nutrition is essen
tial in the child not only for his
physical well being, but for his abil-
ity to do his school work well. 1t is
essential that every school child have
well balanced diet, for this reason
we wish to encourage parents to avail
themselves to attend the nutrition
classes which are being conducted
through the agriculture extension
division, through the office of Civil
ian Defense.
Last Thursday the South sub-com-
mittee met at the Pine City high
school. A very interesting program
was given on the subject of control
of tuberculosis. A movie was shown
and DR.. F. F. Callahan, medical direc-
tor of Pokegama sanitorium spoke
on the subject of Mantoux testing.
We now have representative from
Rock Creek in this group of women.
1t is hoped that other women of the
southern communities will join this
group as the committee progresses.
This committee has also decided to
give a dollar towards the training
center for our WPA housekeeper's
aid project.
Miss Elenor Mikkelson from the
State Department of Health, who as
sists the nursing service with local
problems, was here Thursday and
Friday.
The Northwest subcommittee will
meet at the home of Mrs. Anderson
in Denham Friday, March q. Please
try and come and bring someone with
you. This will be at two o'clock in
the afternoon.

of twenty-one and forty-five will
be enlisted and many of them will
doubtless be sent overseas. There
are many places that can be filled
by women. They will be used in air
craft watching and filter centers;
also as telephone operators, clerks,
stenographers, secretaries, laundry
workers and in numerous other capa-
cities.
On April 27 all males between the
ages of forty-five and sixty-fve will
register, the purpose of this being to
classify the manpower of the country
for service for which they are best
adapted by training and experience.
It is expected that thirteen million
men will register.
1t is doubtful if any other country,
not even excepting the Axis nations,
will be more completely modified for
war when the program has been
completed.
All this is going to require tre-
mendous sums of money and those of
us who remain at home must do our
part by buying war savings stamps
and bonds. We cannot raise more
than one-third of the huge sums
needed by direct taxation; hence two
thirds must be raised through the
sale of bonds and stamps. 1t is well
to bear in mind that this is every
Americans war, regardless of all
past differences.
War is Costly.
To give my readers an idea of the
cost of war, want to give them
some interesting figures that were
given to the House a short time ago
by Representative D. A. Reed of New
York, who informed us that it re-
quires SIS gallons of alcohol to dehy-
drate the necessary amount of pow
der to fire a 16-inch shell. To pro-
duce one gallon of alcohol requires
161s pounds of raw sugar. Thus, to
fire 16-inch gun one time is equiva-
lent to firing 9071a pounds of raw
sugar.
