Red Cross Nursing
Course To Be Held
Here May ID to 26

A streamlined Red Cross home
nursing course will start here
May IA and continue through May
26, according to announcement of
Mrs. M NJ. Ware, local Red Cross
chairman. The course will be given
at the high school by Mrs. 10y
Doss of San Francisco, regional
Red Cross nursing director. There
will be six classes of two hours
each, held either in the morning or
evening, according to the conven-
ience of those enrolled. Glasses
will be limited to 10 students each,
and those interested in taking the
course are urged by Red Cross Of
ficials to register early. Registra-
tion may be made with Mrs. Sue
Steward, phone 379-J3 in the even
ing, 20 or during the day
For the first time the Red Cross
is offering this new streamlined
II hour home nursing course that
takes half the time the standard
course requires. In six lessons
students are taught the right things
to do in emergencies. The doctor
and nurse shortage has reached
a critical stage. Hospitals are
overcrowded and it has become
essential in civilian life for moth
ers and housewives to learn what
to do before the doctor arrives,
how to help him, and how to care
for a patient.

Collect Over Ton
Of Clothing In
Coolidge Drive
More childrens' apparel
needed for shipment to
destitute, according to
those in charge of the
United National Clothing
Collection here.

Over ton of clothing has been
collected in Coolidge during the
United National Clothing Drive, ac-
cording to the Rev. J. C. Fritz,
local chairman. The garments,
which go to the destitute of war
torn countries, are now being sort
ed and packed in the recreation
hall of Community Presbyterian
Church under the supervision of
Mrs. ]. J. Jones, chairman of this
department. Over 80 cartons of
garments were sorted and packed
last week and the work will con-
tinue until completed. Mrs. Jones
was assisted by Mrs. G. E. Max
well, Mrs. Kent, Mrs. ]. c.. Fritz
and Mrs. William Short. Others
will take their places this week
Much good and usable clothing
of the more serviceable kind has
been donated in the drive, say
those in charge. The greater
amount of this is adult wearing
apparel, however, and it is hoped
that more apparel for children may
be collected during the last days
of the drive, which will close on
Monday. Collection depots at Safe
way, Mirkins Dry Goods Store,
Coolidge USO, and Community
Church will remain open until the
final day. Anyone not able to
bring donations of used clothing to
these depots is requested to phone
Miss Dorothy Johnson, Coolidge
Girl Scout leader, at TIA or POI
and their donations will be called
for.
In occupied Denmark, the sharp
rise in pneumonia, tuberculosis,
and bronchitis is laid by physicians
to the general shortage of clothes,
shoes and bedding. When these
people are liberated their need will
be greater than ever.
81 cannot forget the sight | saw
this morning" Major Ellis Gray,
U. S. Army, recently stated in his
report of conditions in Yugoslavia.
"A long line, mostly women and
children, dressed in clothes no one
at home would even handle-bur-
lap bags for dresses, old rags
around their shoulders, old rags
wrapped around their feet. One
of the boys boasted coat, but it
had been patched in fifty places. ;"
Through your contribution of
serviceable used clothing, shoes
and bedding to the United National
Clothing Collection, the sorry state
of these war sufferers and others
elsewhere can be corrected.

Retail Grocers
Hear OF Veterans
Apprentice Plan

Mutual problems of retail gro
GERS were discussed at a meeting
of the Retail Grocers' Association
of Arizona, held in the Community
Church of Coolidge late last week.
Walter A. Nielsen, assistant exc
cutive secretary of the association,
led the discussion on the develop
ment of the grocers' association
and outlined the benefits which
could be derived by local mer-
chants affiliating. The meeting
was attended by grocery merchants
from Florence, Coolidge, Eloy and
Casa Grande.
A picture was shown entitled
planning Today for Tomorrow. T"
The picture illustrated the necess-
ity of well-trained clerks and
butchers on courtesy, planning of
buildings, fixtures and so forth, to
improve the grocery conditions.
John T. Douthit, Sr., field repre-
sentative, apprentice-training SER
vie, for the War Manpower Com
mission, explained the necessity of
establishing apprenticeship pro-
grams for butchers accenting the
fact that although there is limit
ed amount of meat to sell today
in the future there would be suffi-
cient meat but there would be a
shortage of butchers that are pro-
perly trained to handle the GUS
toners and that many returning
veterans are interested in learning
a vocation.
Under the CT Bill of Rights, the
veteran coming under this program
if single, would be entitled to $50
per month; with dependents, SIS
per month; under Public 16, voca-
tional rehabilitation, the veteran
would be entitled to s92 per month,
if single; and $103.50 if married
S5.75 for each child and S11.5O
for each parent supported by the
veteran. Most all veterans will
qualify for these benefits. The sub
sistence received from the govern
ment in either bill, in addition to
the apprentice wage, cannot exceed
the opening wage for a journeyman
meat cutter. The merchants pres
ent felt it was their obligation to
make employment for returning
veterans and felt this was the most
logical program that has been pre-
sented.
The apprentice would receive di-
q versified training on the job with
four (4) hours per week of techni-
cal or theoretical training in the
public school on meat cutting
which, in reality, would mean the
butcher would be qualified to ex-
plain to the customer the various
types of meat and how it should
be cooked, as well as being able to
cut and sell the meat.
Markets represented at the meet
ing from Coolidge were: Consum-
ers Market, Chapman's Square
Deal, Coolidge Grocery, D & A Gro
cery, Pinal Grocery, Geo. Y. Wah
Market.
From Coolidge Dam: Edmon-
sons Trading Post.
From Eloy: Center Market, Keel
ing Bros.
From Florence: H. M. Chapel
Grocery, Aztec Market, Borree's
Market.
From Casa Grande: Center Mar
ket. Don's Market, Pioneer Market

Labor Group Securing
New Industries For
Halifax District

Halifax, N. S. (ILNS)-Postwar
establishment of several small indus
trial plants here has been practically
assured by the reconstruction COM
mittee of the Halifax District Trades
and Labor Council. The council
formed this committee last year with
a view to improving the industrial sit
uation in the district after the war,
when wartime emergency production
will have ceased. Decision has been
made to retain the committee, which
was appointed as an experiment.
In addition to seeking new industries
for the district, the committee is con-
sidering all problems expected to con-
front AFL union workers after the
war is over in Europe and in Asia.
The committee has communicated with
persons and firms inside and outside
Halifax, with a view to locating new
factories. A survey provided the
basis for the plant seeking.

ence in building an international or
ganization to make an enduring peace
Second to that on the international
field is the question of Americas part
in the physical rebuilding of nations.
On this rebuilding, which right now
means help for Europe, the executive
council said:
eve will continue to contribute our
proportionate share together with 9TH
er nations in organizing the conditions
and providing for world reconstruc-
tion and in rendering full-hearted sup
port to policies that will facilitate
self-sustaining economic recovery Of
all nations and thus contribute toward
a healthy world economy.
In the foregoing, labor warns that
only U. S. aid that helps other ma
tions to help themselves is soundly
based. This does not rule out speedy
emergency help to prevent immediate
starvation and suffering. That must
be given, but it must not be continued
longer than is absolutely necessary.
AS the council says in another part
of it's statement on postwar policy,
"Great as are our resources, they are
not inexhaustible." And even if they
were, long continued help would do
more harm than good. 1t would be
like helping child long after he had
outgrown the need for help, resulting
in the breaking down of his self
reliance and leading to hopeless depen-
dency This should never be forgot
ten in all discussions of U. S. aid to
other nations.
