tributing factors have been the ade-
quate Stating of nurses in the Red
Cross chapters; special nutrition su-
pervision in the feeding centers;
constant vigilance of the county and
state health officials and generally
mild temperatures throughout the
areas.
AS the flood waters rolled south
ward in the Mississippi and its trib-
utaries, Red Cross workers met
ever-changing problems. In many
cases prompt action saved lives and
property.
At Memphis and New Orleans
coast guard and navy officers put
helicopters and assault boats at the
disposal of local chapters when the
Red Cross called for quick assist
ance in evacuating families and live
stock in the path of rising waters in
the Mississippi, St. Francis, White
and Black rivers.

At Little Rock, when the flood

helped whip the flood in a manpower

Here's Girls Chance
To Enter UncrOWded,
Well Paid Profession

Thousands of young women in the
cities, towns and rural regions of
America who today are dreaming
fesSion would do well to consider the
comparatively new field of physical
therapy.
There is an opportunity awaiting
| these young women right now, ac-
cording to Miss Catherine Worthing-
ham, director of technical education
of the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis This opportunity
has been provided by the coming-of-
age of physical therapy, that adjunct
to medicine which is bringing
strength and vigor to our war;
wounded, to victims of infantile pa
ralysis and to injured industrial
workers. Women outnumber men
in this work 20 to l at present.
To help answer the acute demand
for therapists the National Founda-
ton is offering scholarships to quail
fed men and women. A fund of
81 ,267 900 has been set aside for this
purpose. The foundation is support
ed by the March of Dimes contribu-
tons.
Jobs Waiting for 5000.
At present there are only $500
accredited therapists in the coun-
try, and more than half of these are
now in army or navy hospitals. At
least 5000 of these specialists could
be employed Immediately. After the
war the need will be even greater.
Physical therapy seems made to
order for the woman who wants to
make a good living, in recognized
profession, rather than take some
thing that is just another job. In
this field there need be no fear of
insecurity, labor cutbacks, unequal
competition with men-and there
won't be, for some years to come,
if ever.
National foundation scholarships
are limited to those with definite ed
vocational backgrounds: graduation
from a school of nursing or phys
ical education or completion of at
least two years of college work with
a minimum of IL semester units in
biology and other basic sciences.
Successful scholarship applicants
will receive their tuition, books,
maintenance, and travel expenses if
necessary. The courses, ranging in
length from nine months to year,
are given at physical therapy schools
! approved by the American Medical
association.
! Temperamental suitability also is
an important factor. People who
like to work with their hands, who
/ are interested in the scientific rea-
! sons for things, who enjoy working
with and for people and who have
flair for getting along with others
these have the basic qualities OF
good physical therapists.

RED CROSS
CARRIES ON
AT HOME, TOO
Though Engaged in War
Relief on Clobal Scale,
Also Serves in u. S. Crises

"THIS springs disaster re-
i lief operations emphasize
how the American Red Cross is
continuing to handle its domes-
tic operations on the one hand
while conducting the greatest
overseas program in its history
on the other" Basil O'Connor,
chairman of the American Red
Cross, said just before his de-
parture late in May on an in
spection tour in the Pacific war
theater.
Altogether, the Red Cross this
spring experienced one of its busiest
seasons in recent years, disasters &C.
curing on an average of two week.
The loss of life by mid-May was
nearing 200. In April alone, Ill were
killed in storms in Oklahoma, Arkan-
sas, Missouri and. Texas and 936
were injured. Loss of life in the
flooded areas, national officials said,
was held to low figure by prompt
evacuation of families by Red
Cross volunteers, coastguardsmen
and army engineers.
Two hundred and forty Red Cross
chapters went into action in the "a
affected states as the disasters
struck. Colin Herrle, acting nation
al administrator of Red Cross relief,
estimated after tour of the dis
aster zones that Louisiana was the
hardest hit of the flood states and
that various areas in that state
would be feeling the effect of the
floods and storms for many months.
In Concordia parish, for instance, 90
per cent of the land was under wa
ter and practically every family was
evacuated. 1t was in this area that
hundreds of head of livestock were
moved out by barges.
Help Rebuild Homes.
The Red Cross dispatched building
inspectors and relief workers into
the flood and tornado zones in March
and April and priorities were OBJ
tanned from the War Production
board to assist local chapters in
helping sufferers to rebuild their
homes and barns. This work con-
tined through June.
After a quick survey of the areas
in May, department of agriculture
agents informed Red Cross that the
nations food shortages would not
be materially increased by the
floods. In the Ohio valley, the flood
waters receded in time for the farm
ers to plant, and in the lower Mis-.
sissippi valley early crops ruined
by the floods were replanted. In the
Mississippi tributary valleys of Ok
lahoma, Missouri, Arkansas and
Tennessee the floods delayed but did
not prevent spring planting.
More beef and vegetables will be
available next winter as result Of
American Red Cross disaster relief
work in the Midwest and lower Mis-.
sissippi valley. Thousands of head
of cattle were evacuated by Red
Cross and coast guard workers to
high ground in March, April AND
May. Feed for evacuated refugee
livestock was purchased by the Rec
Cross and the feeding operations un
dertaken by local chapters. In ad.
dition, the Red Cross distributed TO-.
600 packages of garden seed to flood
sufferers.

POSTWAR SINATRA

We've been hearing about one Ser

with the American Flying Band of
the Supreme Allied Command, bet
ter known as the Glenn Miller band
(the name continues even though
your beloved Glenn has been miss

call him 'Le Cremair" because of
his creamy grooming. There's even
a French fan club that calls itself
Lies Bobby Seekers" and they GER
tainly do some OO-La-La-ing and
French squealing over Johnny when
he sings swoon songs like 'I'll Be
Seeing YOU" Lots of radio and mu-
sic experts say that Johnny will be
the Postwar Sinatra-so watch out
for him. Like Frank, Johnny is of
Italian parentage. His family runs
a grocery store in Detroit. He start
ed out as tenor, billed as the "Ital-

turned baritone overnight. When he

FAITH AND RESPONSIBILITY

The CONSERVATION over Russio's proposal TOR ex-
fro votes in the international security organization
seems all out Of proportion to its toreseeobe result
Surely it is less important than Russos nsstence on
the veto privilege for the great powers Nor is IT GER
tain that the San Francisco conference will grant this
most recent request.
The reason for the CONSERVATION then must lie
in the tordness with which the request was made
known and the manner Of its revelation These con-
siderotons rosed general teor tho there may have
been other secret covenants at Yoto secretly arrived
at They added to the general feor that world rule by
the three great powers is possible.
1t was argued, in defense Of the veto arrange
nnent that if the time came when one OF the
oreot powers was guilty Of aggression, it would take
another world war to holt it, anyway. SO the world
was asked to trust that great power, given loop
hole permitting unchecked aggression, would be too
sensible and too humane to use it.
And surely the great powers can be trusted. 1t
is incredible that any Of them would risk rendering
impotent any organization to prevent war by asking
an unreasonable amount Of power in that organize
tion
1t is incredible thot any great power could deny
the sovereign equality Of sotes forget that super
ior strength also means added responsibility to the
small nations which have suffered SO erievously in
this war.
1t is incredible that any Of them should seek first
