TAX RATE I5 SET
 AT 17h MILLS BY
 JUNEAU COUNCIL
Traffic Ordinance Changed Limited Parking Zones
 Are Established

The City Council last night set a tax rate of IT and a half mills for assessments for the year, the same as last years rate. Mayor Harry I. Lucas reported that although the assessed evaluation is $l6,000 less than last year, no large projects are contemplated for the duration and the city should be able to meet expenses.
 The total assessed evaluation amounts to approximately $7,3l0.- 545. Taxes on this will bring in about $18,00O, Mayor Lucas said.
 Reports from Outside Operations Foreman Bert Lybeck. Police Chief B. H. Manery, Librarian Ann B Coleman and Fire Chief V. w Mulvihill were read.
 An amendment to the traffic or dinance was passed to extend nc parking zones and limited parking zones in many parts of the business section of the city and on main thoroughfares to reduce the hazard involved in increased traffic on some streets.

GAIL FOR WOMEN
 TO REGISTER AS
 NURSES' AIDES
Classes Will Be Limited- Services Important
 in Emergency

Immediate application for enroll ment in the Nurses Aide courses soon to be given in Juneau is urged of all Juneau women interested in taking this opportunity to serve the city in tangible way during the present war crisis.
 The courses will open in the near future, but applications must be studied to see that each enrollee answers the requirements for the course. The classes will be limited and immediate application should be made by those desiring to enter. Mrs. Harley J. Turner, at Blue 440, is in charge of registration, and all women interested should call her for an application blank.
 Housewives, mothers, or office girls are eligible for the course. Women of Thane, Douglas and the Glacier Highway districts are es- | pecially urged to take advantage of this opportunity to take training in assisting with hospital patients not only because of the emergency need i for such assistance during war time, but also for use in the future be- cause of the difficulty in obtaining the services of trained nurses for the outlying districts.
 Women taking the course should be American citizens between the ages of 18 and 50. A high school education or equivalent is neces- sary. After the training course which will be given under the direction of Ms. Lillian Nelson, R.N. the Nurses Aide will be asked to give 150 hours of service annually without pay, which means only an average of three hours service week.
 Nurses Aides also will be asked to take the 20-hour First Aid course if they have not already done so.
