Work or Fight Legislation

II has now been nearly a month
since the House passed its So
called work-or-iail bill. This bill
started out to be a work or-fight
bill but was considerably amend
ed in the House Military Affairs
committee. And as we pointed
out in this column previously, we
thought the bill was too weak to
meet the problem. Now the Sen
ate Military Affairs committee
has further amended the bill. and
there is still some question as to
whether or not the Senate will
pass any legislation at all. The
reason for this is not generally
understood by the people. For
instance. it is not generally
known that the Senate Military
Affairs committee is decidedly
pro labor. Although made up
largely Of New Deal Senators,
when the question was squarely
put up 10 that committee with the
unusual situation of labor on one
side and the Administration on
the other, the committee baked.
Their reasoning has been along
the line that if they could stall
the legislation long enough the
Russians might take Berlin and
then the Allies would hastily
over-run Germany, resulting in a
collapse Of the war in that thea
ire. Thus the necessity for any
such legislation would be obviat-
ed. However, under the whip of
the Administration the committee
has finally reported a much weak
ened bill to the Senate floor.
Since the Senate is much more
pro Administration and pro labor
as q whole than the House, II
will be interesting to observe the
debate and final outcome Of the
matter in that body.
L is also very interesting to
observe the fight on this legis-
latlon in that body where the
members are confronted with the
problem of satisfying both the
Administration and the labor
forces. Our prediction still is
that if any legislation at all is
enacted It will be a rather weak
bill and will not meet the prob
lem. This IS very disappointing
IN view Of the fact, IS we pointed

But while the Senators are de-
batting this issue the American

batting a much more realistic
problem with the japanese. In
stead of political fortunes at stake,
these bevs are trading their lives

may be assured. On that little

square miles American Marines

Course In Home Nursing Prepares
Women To Relieve Doctors. Nurses

A problem TO d woman with
sickness in her family is a prob

This has been the experience
Of Miss Mary f. Howell who is
conducting classes in home nurs-
ing in Jackson county after hay

Sumatra ana the Dutch East In
dies. She is from the Southeas-
tern area headquarters Of the
American Red Cross with offices

Human nature is the same the
world over Miss Howell SAID
"and there are certain points in
caring for sick people that puz-
zle the woman in Jackson coun-
ty just as much as it puzzles the
woman in Sumatra.n
Miss Howell is conducting five
classes nov ana plans provide for
the opening of new classes as
soon as these are completed. A
short course of six lessons is be-
ing held at the l4th Street COM
munitv house. Longer courses
are being held at the Model Home
where about 20 are in attend
ance; Lincoln Hall with an en-
rollment of about 10; Moss Point
community house with about II
attending; and a course for me-
groes al Carver Village which is
attended by about 20.

This is a contribution by the
Red Cross to the home front in
preparing the people and homes
for the returned servicemen and
women" Miss howell said. we
believe this training will be most
beneficial to the psychological
outlook of the wife and mother
and hence to the entire family"
Miss Howell explained that in
1899 there were more beds oecu-
pied in the United States hospi-
tails by mental cases than those
i'll for all other causes.
Our course is designed to APP
peal to the emotional and mental
condition as well as to the phys
zeal condition." she said "AIl our
methods of treating the home pa
tent are aimed at producing
calmness and quiet and content
ment','
The basis of the course, how
ever is the training Of women to
give expert care in the ease of
illness in the home and each Wo-
man attending these courses is
taught the fundamental prinei-
pies of changing beds, keeping
the patient clean, preparing nour-
and attractive bed trays
and following a physicians in
structions. This training will
tighten the load OF ovefburdened
doctors and MUSES., she said.
"rhe cry that I hear most often,
she said, "is If ! only had had
this training before ! had my
home and family"
Miss Howeu's dream is to see
nurses in each county for the pur-
nose Of teaching and demonstrate
ing home nursing in the schools
in cooperation with the home &C.

Cooperating with Miss Howell
in putting these classes on are:

Christmas Seals

Governor Dewey recently said he foresaw
that tuberculosis might be stamped out In New
York in some twenty years. The forecast Is
not possible of fulfillnent unless the disease is
also stamped out in neighbor states, so that
no person who crosses New York,s frontiers
could pass it on.
The governors observation is cited only to
point out that tuberculosis can be conquered
ultimately everywhere if there is thorough CO.
operation in the fight against it. Even facing
the possibility OF an increase in its incidence,
in the wake of war, due to the shifting OF
population and the consequen. difficulty OF
contracting all persons affected, the victory is
still possible if adequate funds are forth-con1-
ing for the employment of full stats and the
necessary case work in all neighborhoods.
. One means of raising these funds is the
annual sale of Christmas Seals, which in forty
years have become too well known to the
public to need further explanation, and Of tu-
berculosis bonds which in recent years have
become almost as familiar. Neither the rev.
enue from seals or bonds is large enough
fully to finance the war on the disease more's

ing this period Of the year do materially help.
The actual campaign is to get under way
here next week. The mails will be filled with
seals under personal address to thousands OF
New Hanover county residents The Junior
Chamber of Commerce is preparing to start
the solicitation Of bond sales. Whether one
buys seals or bonds, or both, it is important
that the county sales reach new and higher
goals this year, not only because the cause is
great but also because the New Hanover Coun-
ty Tuberculosis Association has expanded its
operations by employing full-time staff, out
fitting an Office with essential equipment, in.
Guiding two X-ray machines, and is perform.
ing greater service than ever before
It has been possible, as result Of this ex-
pansion, to locate victims of tuberculosis in
its incipiency and provide means for arresting
it. Many persons, otherwise destined to a life
Of suffering and final death from the disease,
are on their way to health and useful citizen
ship as a result Of these enlarged activities.
Many more may be saved if public response to
the Christmas Seal appeal is Up to par.
It is urged therefore, that when the envelope
bearing seals are received or Jaycees invite
you to buy tuberculosis bondsl the response
will be favorable and liberal. Your dollars thus
contributed will be saving lives.
