pretty girls who sit in one of New

chronicle the most minute happen

The girls are Joan MarloWe, 25,

These young ladies who fight so

The predecessor of the Bulletin

Zolotow, drama reporter, in what
he laughingly called his spare time.
It's just a year since Zolotow de-

Today your country is asking you to buy War
Bonds-twice many you did last time-in the
biggest and most urgent War Loan of all the
Seventh.
Why so much more than you bought beforep
Here's WHY: Up to this time last year there had
been faoo war loans This time, the Seventh War Loan
must do the job of two.
And because the cost of the war is just great, the
money you put into War Bonds in one loan now must
equal what you put into too last year.
Sure, lot of optimistic people saying, "Look at
what's happened in Europe!"
They don't stop to think that regardless of Ger
many's condition, at home must keep sending our

daily.
They don't realize how much money it takes to pay
for the care we must give thousands of wounded

Lawmakers Want
Commissions
For Navy Nurses

WASHINGTON, Jan. Il. (UP)-
Two women members of congress
strongly criticized the army's re-
ouested nurse draft bill for its fail
ure to guarantee commissioned rank
to nurses indicted into military
service.
The feminine Legislators, Repre-
sentatives Edith Nourse Rogers,
(RD. Massachusetts. and Frances P.
Bolton. (R). Ohio, said they agreed
that steps must be taken to assure
adequate nursing care for wounded
servicemen. But they felt that any
nurses who are drafted should be
guaranteed commissions.
The nurse draft bill, introduced
by Chairman Andrew j. May, CD,
Kentucky, of the house military af-
fairs committee, would apply to all
registered nurses between Is and 45,
Those inducted would receive priv
ate's pay unless commissioned later.
May expressed hope that it
would be unnecessary to invoke the
nurse draft, saying he believed
nurses would prefer to enlist volun-
tarily to obtain commissions as sec
end lieutenants. His bill would al
low draft boards to defer nurses IN
essential civilian activities.
Both Mrs. Rogers and Mrs. Boil
ton. however, believed that the
nurses should receive the commls-
sions even if they enter military
service through a draft.
