LIFE ON GUAM

One thing which burns up en-
listed men and front line Pacific
battle observers is the fancy quar-
tiers for officers on Guam while
wounded men, fresh from the
battle zone, are showed around on
dirt floors a few hundred yards
away.
At Guam, all officers above the
rank of lieutenant commander
have a private room each. AL
junior officers are two to a room
with hot and cold running water
electric lights, boX-spring mat
tresses, and other luxuries which
no one begrudges them far from

BUSINESS AFFAIRS

Profits will be widely discussed in
the establishment of postwar BUSH
ness. There is sign that presages
the equalizing of financial rewards
for employers and employees.
NATIONAL ISSUES
Peace talk will be prevalent
through the summer. Enemy propa-
ganda will be cleverly circulated to
cause consciousness of war weari-
ness among civilians and fighters
on furlough. Astrology indicates that
anything less than unconditional
surrender means eventual disaster
for United Nations.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Certain signs warn of enemy eff
fort to bomb the United States or
at least to make a gesture that ter
rifles the people. Submarines may
be discovered patrolling the Pacific
Coast.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of ups and
downs. With their families tley
will meet obstacles in establishing
new homes.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be overladen with talents
as diverse as they are promising
They will succeed in life if taught
self-discipline and undertaking con-
centration.

Nurses Needed Overseas;
Ciuiliavs Need Nurses aides
By Betty Grove Smith

There's big campaign now to get
more volunteers for the American
Red Cross Nurses Aide Corps. Do
you know why? Because the profess
sional personnel-doctors and nurses
in the hospitals. have themselves
requested the Red Cross to supply
them with more aides. They know
as well as any one how the present
intensive fighting and the daily
mounting casualties on the fighting
fronts are going to deplete our sup
ply of nurses on the home front. If
our civilian hospitals are to go on
operating at all normally there will
have to be more aides to supplement
the nurses called to the front.
Listen to what professional nurses
say about the Red Gross nurses
aioes: Without the aides our hos
pital would not be able to operate" ;"
stated Mr.. Thomas j. Dugan, who is
in charge of the emergency room
and clinic and dispensary at Emer-
gency Hospital. They work every
day in shifts of four hours from
am. to pm. and except for the
giving of medication, which the Red
Cross does not allow them to do,
they give practically the same nurs-
ing services rendered by the profess
sional nurse. They assist the doctors
in the clinics. dispensary and emer-
gency and operating rooms and
work In the wards and. private
rooms"
aside from the regular shifts of
aides many more are on emergency
call" Mrs. Dugan went on. I'm

cent train wreck when the Baltimore

and report to the hospital for extra

The departure of the Panama

this week will be a surprise to many
of the very wide circle of friends in

have no plans to return. The Am
who is a gentleman of
considerable prominence and power
in the political life of the Isthmus
Republic, is president of the Demo-
cratic party Of his homeland. An
election has been called for May to
choose a new Congress. This new
Congress will set the date for the
general election of a new President,
the Chief Executive of that Repub-
lie being eligible for only one term.
The present President, Senor Ri
cardo Adolfo de la Guardia, made
a visit in Washington about a year
ago, and the Ambassador and Sonora
de Jimenez gave large reception
in his honor. Should the election
be won by one of the Ambassador s
political belief, he probably will re-
turn to his post here, but there are
rumors that the Ambassador him
self may be Senor de la Guardia s
successor.
The Counselor of the Embassy,
DR.. Don Ricardo A. Morales, will be
Charge d'Affaires until the arrival
of a new Ambassador. The Second
