Memories of Half Century Ago Move Former
Pupil to Describe Sentiments in Verse -
Many Waterburians May Recall
Similar Scenes, Experiences.

My memory ofttimes wanders to the days of long ago
When played around the school yard in fowery Baeyroe
Those cherished within heart will always fresh
main
With clngng wish life departs tread those paths
again.
No doubt that school somewhat changed the seats
of place
But the good old Cody teacher his smiling face
And his greeting words each morning to get books
and slate
And to the roll CALL the morning hour grew late
When filed into the school room and circd round thG
board
That chaked for the meaning of his unerrng word,
Our daily task given all the blackboard chart,
We filed into chosen seats, daily work to start
When hour given we'd welcome the grand
To play devoid of earthly upon the village green.
And each and all in turn teachers smile did greet,
AS filed into the class to find chosen seat.
When daily task ended we'd welcome the glad hour
To find hour of Gliding within that shady bower.
With those aching hours forgotten and daily toll Ger
We'd give farewell wincing glance at that cngng school
house door.
The robins chrpng in the grove gave far delight
Than all the seats of learning that doomed then fore sight
Those lingering thoughts I'm stealing now, from the hours
of long ago
To frame this dedication to that school in Baeyroe.

Scholarships May
Stimulate Interest
In Recruiting Drive
Civilian Health Also Endangered By Shortage; Armed
Forces Must Be Provided With Requirements,
Additional Volunteers

Because nursing schools begin
their courses in early summer and
fall, 1t is expected that the major
of the recruits will be young women
leaving high schools and college this
spring.
Those enrolling will fill the gaps
left on nursing STATS by the $1,000
nurses who have already gone with
the armed forces and the other
thousands who will follow them in
months to come. The Army and
Navy and other branches of the
armed forces need 5000 more nurs-
es per month, but this goal Of en-
listment is not always reached.
But while the number of nurses
available to care for civilian pa
tents is on the decrease, the num-
Der Of hospital patients is increas-
ing. The American Medical AsSo-
citation reported 11,596,188 persons
were hospitaliZed in this country in
l94l. Last year the number had
jumped 8 per cent. or to 12,545,6l0.
Scholarships Help
SO that no qualified girl may be
discouraged by lack of money, a
number Of scholarships have been
made available. Most of these are
from private funds, but some part
of the 100000 appropriated to the
Public Health Service for its nurs-
ing program will be made available
through scholarships to defray most
essential expenses. The cost of be-
coming a graduate nursL is low
enough, averaging $75 for the reg
ular three-year course, so that most
girls are able to meet 1t. The $75
covers tuition and expenses. Ma
turally, the cost varies from school
to school, and tuition in some is
much greater than this. Room and
board are generally provided free.
Applications for a scholarship
should be made to the school of
nursing the girl plans to enter.
To meet the basic requirements
for entrance to nursing school q
girl must be between II or 10 and
35 years Of age. College training is
preferred and most schools require
high school science credits. The
student nurse must possess the sta
nina that comes from good health
and must have temperamental APP
titude for nursing.
Young women interested In enter
ing this field Of service may obtain
necessary Information by writing to
Student Nurses, Box 88, New York
City. Information and help also can
be given them by their private ply
s1cians or by any large hospital.

Restaurant Owners
Must Observe Order
Monday. May 10, DeadIine for Filing Menu, Price List
With Local RatOning Board; No Price Boosting

drink price lists, as well as food
menus, or food price lists, are in
cluded in the menus and price lists
to be filed. Failure to clearly under
stand the rule and to whom it ap-
plies was given as the reason why
many operators Of food and drink
establishments which did not file
before the original deadline, May /.
The filing of menus and price
lists was ordered to give the State
OPA Office a clear, statewide pic
ture of the retaurant prices. Re-
ports have reached the state Office
that many restaurant operators
have increased their prices within
the past few weeks. Cooperation OF
all restaurant operators to halt such
price rises voluntarily is being
sought by the State OPA, which
warns, however, that If the plan
does not work it may become neces-
sary to invoke powers which it has
to roll back restaurant food prices,
or freeze them at their present
Levels.

Restaurant owners we're urged to
comply with price regulations which
allow them only until May 10 to file
their menus and prices with their
local War Price and Rationing
Board in a statement today by the
State Office of Price Administration

food or drink for pay must file
every menu used during the week
of April to 10 inclusive with their
local War Price and Rationing
Board, the statement pointed out.
This includes all bars, taverns, res
taurants, boarding houses, school
and factory cafeterias and drug
stores. Neither does 1t make any
difference whether the drinks
served were alcoholic or non-alco-
holic. Price lists for those drinks,
served by bar or drug store or
any other establishment, must be

Unless the nurse power of the
country is reinforced by $1,000 this
year, the Office of War Information
warns, America faces a growing
threat to civilian health. Coop
Grating with the subcommittee on
nursing of the health and medical
committee of the Office Of Defense
Health and Welfare Services, and
with the National Nursing Council,
OWL is launching drive to enroll
qualified young women in June in
the 1900 nursing schools attached
10 the country's leading hospitals.
Actually many more than $4,000
new nurses are needed almost i'm
mediately, but this is the maximum
number that can be trained at any
one time, according to figures made
available to the subcommittee on
nursing.
Need More Students
Unless every possible effort is
made, however, there Is danger that
even this number of young women
will not take up nursing in 1913. Re-
cruitment of student nurses assum-
ed campaign proportions in many
areas last year, but despite this the
1912 goal Of $1,000 new student
nurses failed by II per cent to be
realized.
To offset the shortage of train
ing facilities and help meet the war
need, many of the country's leading
schools have shortened their courses,
so that thousands Of the young wo-
men enrolling this year will be full
hedge graduate nurses in from "a to
80 months. Heretofore, courses have
required three full years of train
ing.

is untrue Meat is harmful only
when the kidneys are so damaged
that they cannot excrete nitro
gen products. and in certain kid
neg disorders meat is prescribed
in large amounts. The Eskimos
live on large amounts of meat
and fats and have fewer Of these
disorders than We do.
Many people believe that fish
and ice cream eaten in the same

of the gourmet. such may be ILL
advised, but there is no physio-
logical basis for any incompati-

1t has often ben sold. too, that
water should not be taken during
a meal, but since foods must be
absorbed in liquid form, some
water solution during meals is
needed. Great quantities of wa
ter cut down ON the appetite, to
be sure. but do not impede di-
gestion.
ROUGHAGE NOT NEEDED
The matter of roughage in the
diet has become almost holy
canon. Rather than being neces-
sary for good bowel function,
rough food can cause severe irri-
tation of the bowel and aggrayate
constipation. The amount of res
idue in normal diet is usually
sufficient for ordinary bowel
/ function.
The recent passion for eating
vitamins of all sorts in pill form
is wholly unnecessary in the
presence OF balanced, normal
diet.
People everywhere tend TO eX-
aggerate the therapeutic value OF
diet IN the simplest disorders
such as colds and the acute con-
tagious diseases OF childhood
With these. the acute phase is sc
short. the appetite so impaired
and the connection of food so re-
mote that diet is OF not the
