county led with a per capita sale
in "E" bonds of S68.4 "A.
Throughout the drive Montana
led the nation in the sale of E
bonds in proportion to quota and
was only nosed out by one point on
the last day by North Dakota" the

age of E bonds sales over quota was
127, indicating the many individuals
who made purchases.
Valley county had a quota of $780,
100 in the campaign, of which 1884,
900 was in E bonds. E bond sales in
the county totaIled S451 lot. The
quota for series F. and G was S83, 700

"Of the four aspects, the water

MORE WOMEN
NEEDED FOR
NURSE HELPS
Deaconess Asks for Volunteers
to Tide Hospital Over
Critical Times.

A second and more urgent appeal
to women of Glasgow for volunteer
work at the Deaconess hospital was
made this week by Miss Maybelle
Stensrud, superintendent.
Following our first call, several
have already helped the last few
weeks and have been of untold val
ue," Miss Stensrud said. But it is
not just or fair to overwork a few
kind and unselfish women when this
work is truly the concern of the
whole community"
Women who can give volunteer
help for two mornings a month,
from 8 to II or 1870, were asked
by Miss Stensrud to call or see Mrs.
T. H. Markle, Red Cross chairman
of volunteer services; Mrs. R. A.
DeHaven or Mrs. C. F. Cabell, who
will also furnish details.
Twenty Needed
If 20 women will pledge to help
two mornings a month for five or
six months, a crisis should be averted
and the hospital can continue to
serve the community, Miss StenSrud
said.
Since the present inadequate staff
is already overburdened and since
assistants must know simple pro-
cedures to help, helpers will be in
Structed at informal classes to be
held at the hospital next Monday
and Tuesday mornings from 9 to II.
Miss StenSrud said any woman
wishing to volunteer her services
may do so. But to those who are
unable to serve without pay, the
hospital management will gladly
provide pay at rates comparable
those paid to beginner nurses
aides. The new group will be known
as hospital helpers"
