YOU MAY think that we are

They are the fundamental pro-

things and survive while others

American Red Cross Needs
Volunteer Nurses Aides
BY IDA JEAN KAN

WHAT THIS country needs
right now is plenty Of volunteer
nurses aides.
Greater New York alone
wants 10000. And the national
quota for the next year is set at
100000. This may be your
chance to get into the war.
The age limit for an aide is
18 10 so. 1 asked Mrs. William
A. RothholZ, director of the
nurses aide service for the
American Red Cross in New
York, TO tell me what age group
makes the best aides.
She is inclined to believe that
as a rule, the women of 30 10
As do best in this work. Their
children are old enough TO be
out of the way and they are
glad TO have something to do"
Course Of Training
There is plenty to do. The
course of training is hard enough
and interesting enough TO take
your mind off your nerves.
Just as a preliminary, you
spend 35 hours receiving in
struction from an ARC super
visor. Then you put what you
have learned into practice at
some cooperating field.
The minimum requirement in
the hospital is IA hours per
week. You have the choice of
putting in two full days or five
mornings. The full course adds
up to 80 hours.
You always work under super
vision. And you are restricted
to such nonprofessional tasks as
making beds and bathing pa
tients.
But convalescents are given
more attention than ordinarily
and the graduate nurses are re-
leased for more important work.
Work They Do
In New York City the aides
serve with the mobile blood
bank units and with blood donor
services. This means they are
helping out with one Of the most
important jobs connected with
national defense.
To become an aide you must
meet certain requirements. For
example, you must pass a thor
ougtl physical examination. They
want you able to stand up under
a crisis, not keeling over in a
faint when you're needed.
Also, you must have a high
school education and you must
be a citizen either of the United
States or of a friendly country.
In addition, you have to be
able to put in plenty of time
should the necessity arise. The

national headquarters states in
a bulletin that "aideS will be
needed on the home front as
much as elsewhere. but they
must be prepared to give gen.
erously of their time during
period of great need"
You get a uniform - an at
tractive nurses frock of soft
blue denim. which is extremely
becoming TO most aides.
You also get pin to wear on
your collar and an Office OF
Civilian Defense Insignia for the
sleeve.

Reptiles Perished

The great reptiles persisted
when the ice cap began TO creep
down from the frozen North
and invade their ste ami ing
swamps.
They might have saved them
selves by moving on adapt
ing themselves 10 new conditions
changing the pattern OF
their lives. But they could not
or would not do it.
They could not believe that
disaster threatened them
and SO they were wiped out by
their own inability 10 adapt
themselves TO changing times
and circumstances.
After they all were gone one
small creature alone survived
A tiny. rat-like thing. feeble and
foolish in appearance. Yet II
alone had managed 10 pass
through the terrific travail OF
change
Because Il had been able 10
change its mind.
1t had taken the challenge in
its stride. II had grown hair
10 arImor itself against cold.
II had learned 10 live in caves
and eat strange food, and pro-
tect its young against unusual
peril That tiny creature was
the first mammal.
Same Resdiustmenf
And you and l are here today
because that small creature
was willing 10 change its mind
when the earth went through
one of its inevitable upheavalS
and changed the pattern of life
for every one.
And only those who are able
10 change their minds and
adapt themselves 10 that new
pattern will survive its bloody
travail.
We will use monStrous new
weapons in this struggle but
they will not decide the issue
Only our own spirits can de-
eide il.
Have you the courage 10 say
good-by TO yesterday and turn
your face toward an utterly
new tomorrow
Have you the desire 20 fight
for a finer, freer human plan?
Have you the initiative 10
adapt yourself TO change and
take the breaks as they Gomez
If you have, you and America
will survive the challenge Of
changing life. II you haven't,
If you insist on living and
dreaming as YOU did when
child If you stand around
waiting for the good old days
10 come back You will
perish as surely as the dinoSauria
persisted. mired in the deadly
hog of their own stubbornneSs
and stupidity And don't blame

Truman Bailey
Collection
In Town IL ~
BY JOAN DEAN

WHEN WE HEARD about the
Detroit milkman that spends his
leisure being an artist D.. and a
good artist we were awed
by his combination of vacations.
But the case of Truman Bailey
is even stranger for he is an
explorer and fashion designer all
at once.
For the past few years. Mr..
Bailey has voyaged off to the
South Sea Islands, Central and
South America and even
Louisiana (where he did less ex-
ploring and more camera capers).
Each time he returned with
fashion ideas swimming in his
head.
This years wanderlust took
him TO the province of Quebec,
that wilderness of plains and
forests, save for a hit-or-misS
city here and there. While row
ing, he crammed his noggin full
of French Canadian motifs,
styles and peculiarities.
AS SOON AS his creations hit
the market, every New York
fashion editor and artist pulled
out her pad and pencil and pro-
ceeded to put her enthusiasm
into black and white. After that
buildup, we were overjoyed 10
hear a local store had the COM
plete stock.
The dancing dream in the
photograph is but a sample.
Inspired by an old French-Cana-
dian costume, it's quaint and
fascinating. The print mingles
stripes with the Laurentian wild
flower, native Of Quebec's noun
tains.
Even more picturesque, al
though much less practical. is
picture-print, fioor-length dirndl
of cotton longcloth--square and
low at the neck, and aproned in
a deep blue spun rayon. To wear
it with the proper spirit you al
most have 10 jabber in French.
THE QUEBEC picture print
mentioned also appears in sew
eral street dresses tiny COL
ored spinning wheels, spired
churches, the Woodman and his
oxcart, balsam leaf. deer, sailing
boats, all dancing on the fabric
10 add zest TO summer garb.
The maple leaf. symbol Of
Canada, is the theme of a tered
skirted dirndl dress-the figures
in miniature except for row of
giant ones which border the
hemline. Still another is printed
with a precise motifs used in
antique hand-weaving by the
French-Canadians.
Every blessed one is an ever
fast cotton, tubbable for eternity.
And surprisingly enough. despite
its fashion-firstneSs. the collec-
ton is a boon to budgeteers.
