Of course, that the young women
be graduate nurses and between
the ages of 81 and 40. They, too,
must be physically At and on call
to go anywhere that they are
sent.
Mrs. Baker herself feels that
young women with small chill
dren should not enlist and the
Red Cross insists that If they
have dependents, arrangements
must be made for their adequate
care before the nurses can be ac-
cepted.
A good many women with hus-
bands in the service are applying,
volunteering for active duty any,
where, just as their husbands
have.
Another very important thing
Mrs. Baker feels is to get older
nurses to serve at the civilian
hospitals and release the younger
ones for this Army and Navy
Nurse Corps. And she is work.
ing very hard toward that end,
too.
If you are a graduate nurse
you probably can do more to help
your country win this war right
now than ever before or again.
Whether it is to serve on the
home front in a civilian hospital
or for active duty wherever YOU
may be called near the fighting
front. Only do please enlist now
when the need is so great and
so urgent and every bit of your
ability and knowledge can be put
to use. The Red Cross has set up
a recruiting Office at the District
Chapter at 1880 E street and
every week day through Friday

Daughters Of socially prom
inent families have made of the
Junior League an organization of
witch the Nations Capital may
justly be proud as we'll as thank
full for its existence. For many
years the league has played an
important role in the social well
fare of the community. Since
Pearl Harbor the league has en-
larged It's scope and now war
work goes hand-in- hand with it's
philanttgcpic endeavors.
The league Is an organization
of trained volunteers. Each
member has to pass an intensive
training course before she is ac-
cepted for membership. Other
courses Of study are offered by
the league to those members
wishing to go into branches of
volunteer service where previous
instructions have not been given.
Because of the splendid training
and background of the league
members, not only do they serve
with distinction on war and wei-
fare committees, but in many
cases head or direct the activities
of the branch volunteer service in
which they are engaged.
Miss Virginia Flannery has one
Of the great tasks in the league
for as placement chairman she
assigns the members to jobs for
which they are best suited. She
has sent members to the Navy
Department to act as decoders, to
the War Department for anti
aircraft volunteer work and to
the War Production Board to
assist in surveys in determining
necessary war economy. Miss
Flannery is constantly in confer
ence with Mrs Robert Whitelaw

S18 to produce 100 pounds of pork
and this does not count the ranch
ers work, taxes, or provide cover
age for loss from disease.
Several hog ranchers agreed that
they would have to get 20 cents a
pound for pork if they were to
break even in producing the pork.
Danger of determination of valu-
able breeding herds was said to be
the greatest concern of those inter-
ested in the future of livestock as
a valley industry.
If arrangements could be made
to get the hog rancher an adequate
return on his investment and make
it possible for him to remain in the
hog business, Assistant Farm Ad-

LANDINGS SEEN
Allied air and sea bombardmentS
of Southern Italy pointed to the
possibility of imminent landings OF
the italian mainland. Reports
reaching Madrid from France said
German troops evacuated from
Sicily are being rushed NorthWard
to join perhaps u divisions in
Northern Italy.
The extent of demolitions in CAL

London sources believed the main
battle of Italy would be fought
along a line stretching roughly be-
tween La Spezia, naval base 200
miles North of Rome. and Pesaro
on the East coast, where the Ger
mans would have the advantage of
natural line across the Apprentices
backed by the Northern seaports.
The second defense line probably
would be along the Pc river running
roughly between Turin and Ferrara,
