 Extension Courses
 For nurses who have been ap- pointed to public health nursing positions without a course in public health nursing, extension courses covering parts of the curriculum of an approved public health nursing course are arranged in convenient centers by come of the colleges. Teachers College of Columbia Uni- versity and New York University have given such courses in Connec- ticut for several years. Last winter the new School of Nursing of the University of Connecticut gave sev- eral extension courses for public health nurses in Hartford and will continue to do so this year. In ad- dition, basic conditional courses are offered during evening hours by the University of Connecticut and Trin- ity college in Hartford, Saint Joseph College in West Hartford, Albertus Magnus College in New Haven and the Connecticut College for Women in New London. Interested nurses should secure information directly from the college.

Qualified public health nurses are needed now as never before and the demand for them will continue after the war, both for expanded health programs here and for reconstruc- tion work in other countries, accord ing to the current issue of the Weekly Bulletin of the State De- partment of Health. Many public health nursing agencies, convinced of the value of investing wisely by employing nurses prepared for health education and adjustment of family health problems as well as bedside nursing, have held positions open and earched long to locate qualified nurses. It has been es- timated that last one out of every ten of the present student nurses should prepare for the public health field.
 Preparation
 The preparation for public health nursing includes two phases--th equivalent of at least an academic year of college study in public health nursing and an internship in public health nursing for a period of two years. An internship in pub lie health nursing is staff experi- ence under qualified supervision with a public health nursing agency prvoiding generalized public health nursing. Many public health nursing agencies in Connecticut today have staff vacancies and would be glad to learn of nurses interested in ap- pointment.
 Lack of funds need not hinder an eligible nurse from academic study since the Bolton Bill, signed by President Roosevelt on June IS, 1943, authorized expenditure of fed

However, universal communica- ton may be achieved, Wells sets forth in a copyrighted article ap- bearing in the current issue fthe bearing in the current issue of the Saturday Review of Literature, by the use of photograph to reproduce symbols, diagrams n pictures, and by use of pigeon" speech in which would be amassed the basic words from many tongues.
 There is scarcely a fact spoken language can express which can- not be conveyed a thousand times as rapidly and completely through the eye," writes Wells. When we hear talk of re-educating the whole world for unity, the speaker must either have this new visual educa- tion in mind or he must be an im- practicable wishful thinker or al- together insincere."
 "Basic languages" consist of the minimum vocabularies required to talk understandably in any tongue and these, Wells thinks, would be far more suitable for spreading ideas than newly created univer- sal language.
 '"rhe various 'basics," according to Wells, may expand and pick up words from one another, and they seem likely to converge upon a sort of universal unaffected world pig con" speech with vaster vocabu- lary of words in common than any languages have ever had hitherto. Pigeon" will enable traveller to get about, order accommodation take a ticket, and so forth, and re- main as flat and unsuitable for pottic, intimate and delicate express sion as pigeon English is in China today.
 Lovers Invent Words
 No one will ever want to make love or describe sonnet in a uig- con language The first thing two lovers set about is the inven- tion of new names for one another and a little language of their own. Every set and clique of friendship and conspiracy in the world devises it's own slang and dialect, its nick names and specialized interpreta- tions. Nothing in the great times ahead is likely to abolish that"
 Obstacles to universal lan- guage, in Wells view, are the ob- durate inadaptability of articulate speech to changes in sound or &C., cent" and the perpetual shifting in the meaning of words" Fur thermore, he says, "Manifestly ar- ticuate speech was never adopted by man for the unrestrained broad casting of what he hal in his mind Rnolrsn snAAnh ta . ~~sw eonye-

 The new frontier in manpower is effective use of manpower. Man Rgement, labor, and the public must see to 1t that no worker and no hour of any workers time Is waSted.
 During the past two years man. power problems have changed from time to time. At first it wasted.
 During the past two years man. power problems have changed from time to time. At first it was large ly a matter of getting the right workers in the right jobs in the right numbers att he right time.' Workers to be put into right jobs were drawn largely from the un- employed.
 At the same time there was the job of training workers to take their part in the production of goods needed in our war effort. Many workers had lost their skills through years of unemployment and needed training to give them skills which they did not have.
 In meeting these manpower needs United States Employment Service offices of the War Manpower Com mission placed more than 100000 workers from May, 1942 to May 1943 of whom 1921 900 were in war industries and 3,727 900 in agricul- ture. During this war training fa- cilities gave training to more than 10,000,000 enrolees.
 We now have fewer than 1,000,- 900 persons unemployed in the country, and this is thought be an irreducible minimum. AS W eget nearer the bottom of the manpower barrel the manpower problems to be met change in character.

Cures for Absenteeism and Turn
 over of Workers

over of Workers
 Take another example. There now are more women available for employment than men. However, it has been thought by many peo- pie that women cannot perform many jobs. This opinion is true only to limited extent.
 A large manufacturing concern two years ago employed no women in the plant itself-only a few in clerical jobs in the office. The first stept to adapt that plant to the use of women was to study all jobs to see that work women could do Jobs were adjusted to make them fit the physical limitations and ca pacities of women.
 As result, in May, 1943, approxi- mately 1,200 out of a total staff of 3,400 were women.
 There is another side to effective use of workers that many persons don't recognize. Workers fre- quently have to stay away from their jobs to visit ration boards, selective service boards, do shop ping, do the laundry, Or to take care of children.
 Women, particularly, often quit because they find it impossible to carry on a full-time job and man. age their household with the short age of community services such as laundry, child care, etc., that are found in many war centers. All such absenteeism and turn over holds down production. There fore, effective use of local labor supply depends in good part on ad- justments within the community.
 The program of an eastern city shows the extent to which com- munity can adjust itself to the needs of war workers. In this city great emphasis has been put on the provision of wide recrea- tional facilities at hours which fit the working hours of employees in the war plants. In addition, child care centers have been established to care for the children of work ing parents.
 Local banks have arranged special hours on Fridays to accommodate workers unable to do their business during regular banking hours. Food and clothing stores are opened one night week to permit shopping.

nient way of coming to an under standing with ones intimates while leaving the stranger present un- aware of what was brewing The demand for a universal overriding speech is an innovation upon lin- guistic practice. Speech is used to conceal our thoughts much more frequently than it is used to ex- press them. We go on using words at times, just as friendly savage hold up their hands, to show there is nothing in them"

More Workers Needed Than Are
 Available

Even though several million more women join their sisters in overalls by July of next year and other mill lions of youth, handicapped per- sons, older workers, etc, take jobs by July of next year, the demand for workers is so great that there still will be many more persons needed than are available.
 Consequently, we will have to be very careful in sending new workers into places where they are needed most and in using them, and other employed workers so that their work time is not wasted.
 That is where manpower utiliza- tion comes in.
 It used to be that when a war plant, let us say, wanted 10000 workers, the employment service could go out and find the needed people.
 Now the War Manpower Com mission officials have to find out whether or not these workers are really needed.
 Using the experience of other war plants, they may find that the plant has very high percentage of highly skilled workers whose skills are not being fully used and that some of those could be shifted into other jobs. Then less skilled persons or persons with physical disabilities could be put in their place.
 In other words, with as few work CTS available as we have today, the shipyard should justify its request for more workers by showing that 1t is making the best posisbl use of all the workers it already has.
 That is just common sense. It represents kind of rationing of manpower to those who can use the manpower best.
