 Virtually all of the island now is an aircraft runway. Over a re- cent 15-day period an average of 175 planes a day landed and took off from this crossroads of the Pacific. This was the first stopping place for the desperately wounded of Two Jima. B-29S enroute to Saipan drop off here for fuel as do cargo ships and bombers heading out to the foremost fighting zones
 Life for the garrison soldier and marine here is much the same as any other island in the Pacific once the war has passed on. Ee has his gripes, talks of being rock happy is certain that the Army's rotation plan will never get to him.

 It has been a year now since the last shot was fired in anger on Kwajalein-none came back by air or sea after we killed the last de- fender. From here, however, have been launched air and sea attacks tending to keep the strange little enemy anything but happy.
 PROMPTLY PLASTERED
 By-passed Jap bastions and Mile. Jaluit. Maloelap and Wotje contain an estimated 15,000 Japanese and when they come out of their bur rows so they can be seen, they're promptly plastered by bombers and fighters of the Fourth Marine Air Wing.

 Ringed though it is by Japanese, Kwajalein is a peaceful place. A few scars of war remain, although you have to look for them. Some palms will never bear fronts again after the terrific air and sea lombard ment they received.
 Japanese burial sites are neat and grass-coyered, protected by picket fences. A slight sickly-sweet odor lays over this area. American dead are at rest on a nearby island.
 Some shattered concrete pill boxes stand gaunt on the seaward side of the shore, but most have been leveled. In place of the de- lenses which Japs regarded as for midable now stand warehouses, am- munition and gasoline dumps, anti

dures required for the care OF
most simple illnesses in their
homes.
Medical and health authori-
ties tell US that need for persons
trained in home nursing is in
creasingly urgent" said Miss
Olivia T. Peterson, director of the
Red Cross Home Nursing Divi-
sion, in discussing the new course.
THE standard course is too long
for many transients in camp COM
munities and industrial centers.
The six Lessons in Care of the
Sick" is our answer to a deluge
of communications that COM
planned of too little time"
The fact that only ten persons
at a time may take the six lessons
insures time for practice by each
one. A professional nurse super
vises students as they learn by
doing the things she has demon
strated.
The following brief analysis OF
the streamlined course gives a
birds-eye view of what it taught
lesson by lesson:
ID When sickness occurs
Handwashing, waste disposal,
symptoms of illness, care of the
thermometer, taking of a temper
ature, inspection of the throat,
and making of the daily record
for the patient are taught.
90 The patient goes to bed
Includes making an occupied bed,
learning to move a bed patient
with ease, making an improvised
backrest, and giving the bedpan.
go The clean and well-groom-
ed bed patient. = Deals with the
cleansing bed bath and other per-
sonal grooming services.
"a Food and medicine for the
sick at home.-An attractive and
nutritious FOOD tray is served,
and methods of giving different
medicines are practiced.
60 Simple treatments ordered
by the Observation-Disclosures the prep
aration and giving of a hot-water
bottle, an enema, a steam inhala-
ton, and a hot wet compress.
go Review and summary, re-
lating the care of the sick to the
control of communicable dis
esses.-A brief discussion of the
relationship of the procedures
learned, to the control of COM
municable diseases. A robe and
slippers r omprovised for the
patient, who is allowed out OF

ed. which was primarily the rea-
son for initiating the new char

A most important change is
the abolishing of the justice

a municipal court with a judge
having a six-year term, and
salary of from $4,000 to $500;
office and stenographer provid-
ed, and all fees payable to the
