Nurses Alone
Aren't TO Blame
For SHORTAGE
By RUTH MILLETT

Eleven army hospital units are
about to be sent overseas without
any nurses because of the lag in
nurse recruitment" says a recent
news item.
Who is responsible for that2 Not
just the women who belong to the
nursing profession.
Every man or woman who has
used the war for his personal gain
is responsible. For why should we
expect nurse to give up good pay
and comparatively soft life to go
into service for less money and the
prospect Of facing death, if other
folks feel no need to make sacri-
fices?
Every man or woman who has
ever belittled or ridiculed or ma
ligned women in uniform is respon-
sible, too. Such talk can't help but
hurt the results of any of the drives
recruiting nurses.
RIGHTS IGNORED
Every family is responsible who
has said to a nurse daughter want
ing to become an army or navy
nurse. wed worry ourselves to
death about you; and besides you
can do just as much good right here
at home"
Everyone of us who throughout
the war has assumed that women
are not bound, as are men, to serve
their country in time of war where
ever they are needed is responsible
And every back to the home fol-
women after the war" advocate is
responsible. For why should women
feel duty bound to pinch hit wher
the going gets tough, if their rights
as citizens are to be ignored later?
Let's not blame the nurses alone
for the fact that nurse recruitmen,
in the services is tagging. We
shouldn't expect more of them as 6
group than of civilians in general.

Such preparations, geared to the

The art of wriggling in and out of

of acrobatics which you need to
know these days if you want tc. keep
its shape and likewise your own.
The rules are simple. If heft is at
the top of your body, step into your
girdle. If heftiness is at hips, slip
the garment over your head.
No matter where the danger point
is, open all fastenings before the
struggle, brace yourself for it with
an upright, stomach-in posture, and
don't hook or zip until the corset
is in the proper place. 1t is those
do-or-die grips upward or downward
on a corset that wreck it's rubber,

And by having your glass-cutter

with Majeska, clever New York dec

Civilians to Get
Less Food This

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. CUP) -

that was the War Food Administra-
tons cherries forecast today.
Sugar-WFA said 1945 supplies
will fall 100000 tons below the 6,000,-
900 tons used in 1914 The VIA

the January-March period of 1915
that was issued in the same period
last year.
Butter-The average citizen must
expect 10 pounds of butter this year,
compared with about IL pounds last
year.
Chicken Supplies due for a

the theme of the program, many ex-
amples of Indian craftwork, such
as brass work and woven baskets,
were displayed, having been sent to
his wife by Captain Frederick Head,
who is stationed in India
Mrs. Head covered the various
political, economic and social prob
lens of India by reading some of
Captain Heald's letters, which gave
interesting descriptions of the fas-
cinating country. From a doctors
viewpoint, Captain Heald found
there were many customs and prac-
tices which we're hard to accept. The
primitive country has no concept of
sanitation or modern medical prin-
ciples, he wrote. He also described
hunting expeditions, which appear
to be one of the chief forms of rec
reation for men stationed in India.
A review of the book, MY India,
My America" by Kishnalal Shrind-
harani was also given by Mrs Heald
The author predicts great indus
trialization of India after the war,
if the many internal quarrels can be
settled. India is being reoorn with
amazing speed, he said.
Following the program, bridge was
enjoyed with prizes Of defense
