ON THE FRONT
IN THE VALLEY
NURSES AIDES

Red Cross headquarters present
an interesting picture these days
for a model sick room has been set
up in part of the production room
where the new class in nurses
aides under the instruction of Mrs.
Laural M. Ferguson of Holtville is
learning much of practical worth
that will prove of inestimable aid
as more and more registered nurses
are being called into army and
navy hospitals.
Beds, beside tables and other
sickroom equipment have been
loaned by many residents of the
community. Mrs. Frank G.. Bey-
schlag and Mrs. B. Kibbe and the
women have concrete experience in
the simpler problems of nursing.
The course consists of two Units:
"a hours of lectures and demon
strations and 46 hours of practice
in the hospital under supervision.
Among a few of the things the
women are learning are the fol-
lowing: how to admit patients to
hospital, how to prepare beds, how
to feed patients, the necessary
articles on a thermometer tray, how
to take pulse and respiration, use
of antiseptics, how to assist in the
proper sterilization of Instruments
how to approach the scick, keeping
of correct records, how to judge
when it is necessary to report to
registered nurse etc.
Mrs. Ferguson is an excellent
teacher and has had much eXper-
ience in training and. also in ex-
ecutive work. The class members
are: Mesdames John RT. Rice, T.
j. McQuade, Karl Kaiser, Stella
Warner, James A.. Schofield, j. G.
Stanton, Dorothy Sowders Merle
jackson, Rose Forester, Frank G..
Beyschlag and Philip Paskle.
Upon completion of their course
they will give, during one years
time, approximately $50 hours of
sn"vice, helping to relieve the
nursing shortage for civilians.
COMMITTEE MEETS
The Nurses Aid committee met
Friday night at the home of Mrs
Rice, chairman, to hear reports and
to plan further details of class
work, the members of the class be-
ing nearly ready for their hospital
training.
Much enthusiasm was expressed
over the progress made by the class
and the splendid work of Mrs. Fer
guson, instructor. At the conclu-
sion of the course group of well
trained aides will be ready for serv-
ice and the Red Cross Motor corps
has agreed to have a driver ready,
"a hour service daily, to take the
aides wherever they may be called.
Friday, DR.. E. B. Godfrey county
health officer addressed the group
and on Monday, Miss Ruth Van
Ausdeln, public health nurse will
lecture, Mrs. Elmer w. Heald, vice.
chairman, will lecture also.
At the meeting Friday were:

senting OCD which with the Red

ton; Mrs. Allen, the county hospi-

OCoUTTNG is a worldwide movement
bm there are no Boy Scouts in any
Hxis country. :. Why?
Perhaps it sbecause Scouting teaches
tolerance and human brotherhood,
regardless of race or religion.
Perhaps il is because Scouting is
broader than boundaries or politics.
Perhaps it is because Scouting encour.
ages independence and self.reliance,
instead Of RECOMMENDATION.
At any rate, the finest possible tribute
TO the Boy Scouts is the fact that Adolf,

Veteran Held
After Fatal Fight
Over u. S. Flag
3y the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
DENVER, May 3l.-An argument
over ownership of an American flag
flown in observance OF Memorial
Day brought death to Joseph Man.
sci, 56, who died of bullet wounds
in his chest and legs.
Acting Detective Capt. O. A. Car
ter said William Snyder, deaf 63
year-old Spanish american War
veteran, admitted firing the shots.
He was held for investigation.
Capt. Carter quoted Snvder-who
had to be questioned through a
series Of written notes-as relating
that Mansel and Mrs. Florence
Drummond 45, called at his home
and demanded return Of the flag to
Mrs. Drummond Snyder contended
he had purchased the flag from her
three years ago and said he in
sisted on return of his money
Snyder reported, Capt. Carter said,
that Mrs. Drummond attempted to
take the flag down; that he ran
into the house and got pistol and
warned Mrs. Drummond and Man.
sci to keep away from the flag. He
claimed Mansel scuffed with him
and the gun discharged in the
struggle.

Bids on Repairing Canal
To Be Opened This Week

The Office of National Capital
Parks announced today that bids
will be opened this week for restoring
historic Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,
damaged by last years flood.
Park officials said it has been esti-
mated that the cost of repairing the
canal from Little Falls to George
town will amount to approximately
100000. but the exact cost will not
be known until bids have been re-
ceived
The most important reason for re-
storing the l14-year- canal at
this time, park officials said, is to
supply water to pumps which have
been erected along the canal to pro-
vide water for Dalecarlia Reservoir
in case Of emergency.
Officials also pointed out that two
Georgetown mills-the Wilkins
Rogers flower mill and the George
town Paper Co-formerly used water
from the canal in generating electric
power. These mills were forced to
install auxiliary power lines after
the flood
According to park officials the
total yearly revenue derived from
the sale of water for power and from
the rental Of property on the banks
of the canal amounts to approx
imately $4,000.
In some places. officials said. the
water level has fallen so low that
the canal is becoming a breeding
place for mosquitoes.

Cut in Civilian Supply
Of Beef Predicted;
Point Values 10 Rise
Big Federal Purchases
For Army, Leose-Lend
Blamed for June Scarcity
BY the Associated Press.

Reliable sources hinted today that
civilians could expect less beef for
their ration points when the June
red stamp values are issued, prob
ably this week.
With dWlndling supplies Of beef
reported, the red coupons will not
go AS far as at present in the pur-
chase Of most cuts, it was indicated.
1t was expected, however, that
likely adjustments in pork. lamb and
veal points will be less drastic A
routine revision of blue stamp values
for canned goods is due at the same
time
Government Buying Large.
In many communities where beef
has been relatively hard to buy the
change in point values may make
little actual difference. except to
catch up the official tables with the
realities of butcher shop supplies.
The prime factor in the beef sit
uation is the size of Government
purchases for both our own armed
services and for lease-lend to Allied
countries. A clue to the size of these
purchases has been the waiver for
several weeks of the usual discounts
given by packers on Government
business. These discounts range
from IS cents to 81 per 100 pounds.
Willingness to waive them indi-
Gated that Government purchases
had grown so large that the orders
would be hard to fill at cut-rate
prices. Among other factors is the
diversion of some extra meat for
loggers. miners and other workers
in isolated areas.
Point Rise FOreseen.
At present, point values on beef
generally are at the same level as
other kinds of meat. For instance
beef round and flank steak is nine
points a pound, the same as veal
round steak and center pork chops
Beef porterhouse. club and sirloin
steaks are eight points pound, the
same as veal chops and loin lamb
chops. Roasts and variety meats
also are on comparable levels.
No forecast of the new point
scales was available, but it was be-
lieved likely that beef point values
might be upped at least one or two
points per pound for most cuts,
particularly those trimmed from
beef hindquarters.
