Needs Steno Help

The continuing need for tipping
and stenographic help in the Vet
Grams Administration in Washing
ton, d. c., was stressed in an an
nouncement by the Manager of the
Branch Regional Office of the Civil
Service Commission in New Orleans,
today. The additional typists and

The recruitment for these workers
is being conducted throughout the
States of Louisiana and Mississippi
according to Mr.. Tournier, who
pointed out that qualified typists
were given a minimum salary of
Sl7O4 per annum and stenographers
as much as $1902 per annum, plus
overtime. These jobs offer the usual
civil service benefits such as annual
and sick leave, etc, and in addition,
the Veterans Administration furnish
es transportation to Washington, D.
c., after a short training period in
one of the Veterans Administration
Offices in Louisiana or Mississippi.
Housing for employees is guaran-

perhaps $1,000 90 a month and the
town, much desiring pay rolls, can
not afford to leave any stone unturn-
ed to have it reassigned to its old
home here. A new Armory should
be built. An ideal location would be
facing Boulevard to the south OF
Beall Field. (All those bitches would
be tiled and the surface leveled).
The Armory would have a basket
ball court, a rifle range, recreation,
retiring, locker, shower rooms. With
the Gym in the old Armory and a
new Armory we could stage athletic
meets that would bring money
spending crowds to town often. They
would fit into the picture of the

CURRENT COMMENT

Our Tenn Loaf q Come to Gre
NADIA, which was really to be ex-
pected. Grenada could have fielded
three teams and had substitutes for
each. They were well coached too
and got the jump on us, decidedly,
right early in the game. Anyway it
relieved us of the cockiness some of
our boys were feeling. That's all to
the good anyway. Besides we learn
ed a lot of things we didn't know,
knowledge that will serve US in
very good stead in our remaining
games. A team learns by playing
stronger teams, if they have grit and
our boys have. Our Coach is entirely
too wise to schedule pick ups" for
opponents, that way only mediocre
players can be developed. Our boys
have the stuff to meet the best in
their class and win a fair proportion

Written for NEA Service

A young woman recently re-
turned from the Middle East
with serious eye infection. She
attributed it to contaminated
water that she had been forced
to use while living under primi-
tive conditions.
We pride ourselves in this
country on our high standard OF
living. There are few people
who find it necessary to use i'm
pure water for household pur-
poses. Yet there are hundreds Of
families who use towels and
wash cloths in common, and
who share the same wash basin
or bathroom bowl that is seldom
thoroughly cleaned.
When the members OF fam
lily have been long and con-
stantly subjected to the same
type Of micro organisms they
build up a resistance. that pro-
tects them from infection from
these organisms. But sooner or
later some new or more viru-
lent type of organism creeps in
and infection runs rampant in
the family. Eye infections, such
as pinkeye and trachoma, can
sometimes be traced to contact
with common towel. Diseases
such as tuberculosis or gonor-
rhea may invade the eyes
through this medium.
USE NURSERY METHOD
In my early public health ex-
perience a family was brought
to my attention in which father,
mother, and eight children were
all infected with trachoma. The
parents and three children were
practically blind as a result OF
the disease. This was q condition
that could have been prevented
by ordinary cleanliness and per-
sonal hygiene.
Every home nurse should see
that each member of her house.
hold has his own individual tow
ell and wash cloth. The nursery
school method of identifying in
dividual belongings by a symbol
such as a duck. kitten or
flower, might we'll be used In
the home to teach very small
children to recognize their own
towels and wash cloths. The pic
ture can be pasted on the wall
over the towel rack or hook
where the child's towel Is al
ways hung.
Children should be taught
never to wash in the same water
used by another person, even
though II is a close member OF
the family. They should be
taught also never to rub the
eyes with soiled hands or hand
kerchief.

our enemies too much as long as
we're singing a song about one
meat ball.
