The boys gym classes are now
conditioning on the new obstacle
course made by the high school
wood shop. This is part of the
commando training the boys are
going through TO put them in
top condition for Uncle Sam S
fighting forces.
The obstacle course begins
with the climbing of wooden
fence about 10 feet high; then
comes rail about 25 feet long
and three feet off the ground
which one must balance himself
on till the end is reached. Next
comes a series of hurdles at the
end of which is an inclined plane
which you run up and then drop
over ten feet 10 the ground and
finish the course by running the
track.
The boys are also learning to
high jump, broad Jump, throw
a baseball, run 100 yards in Is

will help them get into condi-
ton.

WASHlNGION, May 4 - (il
Extension of the 48-hour
work week to the entire country
is being considered by the War
Manpower Commission, but Of
ficials said today there were too
many problems to permit a final
decision soon.
VINO officials estimated a ma
tional 48 hour week would add
the equivalent of one million
workers TO the labor force. Half
that number would be freed for
new jobs while their old work
was taken over by their former
fellow employees, working longer
hours.
But most business firms are
bound by law or by labor agree
ments to pay time and half for
all work in excess of 40 hours.
Their employees weekly wages
would advance 80 per cent,
while the firm payrolls-consid-
cring that there would be fewer
employees would 60 up about
eight per cent. This, said the
VINO, would bring new de-
mands for price increases. The
VINO has ordered the 48-hour
week only for 80 areas which
have labor shortages and for
three industries on nationwide
basis: Steel, numbering and non
ferrous metals mining.
RECENT RULING
The steel order was issued
only last Saturday, and already
there have been rumblings
from industry spokesman that
price ceiling increases would be
asked to offset an estimated
wage boost of Sl00,000,000 a
year for $4,000 steel workers
after the order takes final effect
July |.
Steel industry representatives,
pointing out that coal price cell
ings were lifted to cover added
costs when most mines length
ened their work week from five
TO six days, opposed the labor
supported order as being in
flationary' and giving "a con-
cealed wage increase
On the other hand, economic
Sterilization Director James +.
whom the NC officials
said wasn't consulted on the
steel order-declared that the
48hour week is not inflationary
because employees have to work
longer in order TO get the extra
pay.
The VINO has long taken the
official position that its job was
to deal strictly with manpower
rather than the economic aspects
of the work week, and that en-
ployers who demand higher
prices to meet higher payrolls
must take that problem up with
the OPA.
SERIOUS HAZARDS

Miss Tettis Is
First To Enroll In
Cadet Nurse Corps

Miss Minnie Tettis of Aliquippa,
Pa, has the distinction of being
the first student nurse at Freed
mems Hospital, Washington, D. c.,
to enroll with the new u. S. Cadet
Nurse Corps. Miss Tettis, a grad
uate of Aliquippa High School, and
a student of nursing at Freedmen's
since June, was Immediately follow
ed by nine fellow students who
signed up with Miss Rheva Speaks,
Director of Nurses at the hospital.
Twenty-seven girls at Freedman's
are joining the newly created Corps
and will complete their training
IN an accelerated 30-month course.
The u. S. Cadet Nurse Corps is
the Governments answer to the
critical nursing shortage resulting
from demands on essential civilian
and military services. Under the
program, administered by the Pub
lie Health Service Of the Federal
Security Agency, qualified candi-
dates receive all expense scholar
ships covering the cost of tuition,
fees and maintenance. Cadet
nurses will be paid monthly allow
ances of from SIS to at least $50
depeding on grade. Street uni
forms will be issued to all mem
bers of the Corps, the wearing of
which is optional.
The official U. S. Cadet Nurse
Corps uniform, chosen by a jury
of fashion experts, includes a win
ter and summer issue. The winter
uniform is of soft gray wool con-
trasted by red epaulets, silver but
tons, and the silver and red NAL
tese Cross insignia Of the U. S. Ca
Diet Nurse Corps. A guardscoat of
gray velour, a summer uniform of
striped gray and white cotton, a
raincoat of gray paratroop satin
twill and Montgomery type beret
complete the outfit.
The Nationwide appeal is for
$4,000 new student nurses to join
the corps. Women between the
ages of Is and IS, who are high
school graduates with satisfactory
grades, and in good health may
qualify for scholarships.
