overrun by Hitler's armies they could 60 far

same time fit themselves for ultimate return
to their homeland without creating an intoler

would not be Used as slave labor. but be
compensated for their work and with thrift
could have a little money with which to start
life anew, hopefully with the lesson that war
cannot pay well learned.
1t is gratifying, therefore, to learn that Ger

France and Canada, as well as those now in
concentration camps in Germany, will probab-

great damage was done by themselves or

Two Reasons To Help

In setting next Sunday for another OF its
eninently successful waste paper COLLECTIONS,
the Junior Chamber of Commerce provides the
people of Wilmington, its suburbs and beaches
with double reason for increasing their con-
tributions.
In addition to the need for paper in the
war program, for it is still a vital war ma
terial and reserves are too small, the proceeds
from the collection will 60 to the Brigade Boys
club for use at the Bruce B. Cameron Me-
mortal camp. Brigade boys will have an &C.
tive part in gathering paper next Sunday.
The Kiwanis club has subscribed more than
So, 900 within its own membership for these cot
tages The club program called for six build
ings to house nine boys each, but it was deem
ed wise to have another to be used as an in
Urinary if needed during the camping period.
To pay for this, and also to do necessary clear
ing, landscaping and grading for an athletic
field, additional funds are required.
The club does not intend to seek public
assistance in obtaining the needed funds. But
the public will have opportunity through the
forthcoming paper collection of contributing
without opening pocketbook or diving into a
pocket
Because the Brigade camp is among the
most constructive and beneficial projects in
this city for many year it is confidently
expected that the paper collection will be the
biggest made here.

Daily Prayer
FOR RECEPTIVE MINDS

We confess, o Master, that we
are poor pupils in the school of
war. We have been slow to learn
the deep lessons Of this world
tragedy. We have not seen it as
"a Christening of souls. Many of
us have gone thoughtlessly on in
our trivial ways of profit or pleas
ure seeking. We have not entered
into the agony of the service men
or the .sufferings of millions of
people. Our own days have been
untouched by real sacrifice or I'M
derstanding. We confess our sin
unto Thee, o God. Have mercy
upon us for our heedlessness and
callousness. We plead with Thee
to stab our spirits wide awake to
an understanding of these times.
Lay upon our hearts the cross of
Christ-and of the myriads Of
crosses that mark the graves of
our fallen heroes. Give us, we
pray, a deep receptiveness to the
significance Of the war of which
we are a part. Lift us up to
life's higher levels. And Thine
will be the glory. Amen.-W. TIE,

5000 Nurses Needed

Despite the passing of We Day, the Army
strength of 60, 900 is to be reached by June l.
Five reasons are given for increasing, rather
than decreasing the Army's nursing corps.
Large numbers of casualties as well as &C.
cupation troops will continue to need nursing
care in Europe for several months; liberated
peoples must be given medical and nursing
care; troops will be deployed to the Pacific
theater where the normal sickness rate is high
er; the attrition rate among nurses, about $50
to 800 month, is expected to increase; release
of nurses under the Armys rehabilitation plan
will require replacements
Once the $4,000 quota is filled, the Army
plans to set up rotation system so that nurses
who have had long overseas service may be
brought back for service in this country.
The Office Of War Information, which has
issued the appeal for recruits estimates that
about 1000 of the needed 5000 may be drawn
from present applicants, already registered
with the armed services and from graduating
students in the United States Nurse Cadet
Corps The remaining 5000 must be recruited
from new applicants.
With this additional drain upon the nurs.
ing reserves in this country, and the quota
must be filled if the splendid record for re.
eoveries established in Europe is to be con.
tinued In the Pacific war theater, it is obvious
that many more girls and women will have to
become student nurses, either through the
training courses sponsored by the American
Red Cross or by enlisting in the u S. Nurse
Cadet Corps to prevent worsening of the situa
ton in hospitals throughout the country. :.
Prompt and wide recruitment will better
the lot of patients and ease the burdens of hos
pital administration everywhere. Eligible young
women who have still to do their share in the
war effort are encouraged to take up thi.
great humanitarian task.

The "sleepingest man" at Camp
Davis is Cpl. Everett Cundiff who
is tall, lanky driver for the base
motor pool.
Cundiff was formerly the Sleep
INCEST man in the 5th Air Force
when he was stationed in the
Southwest Pacific for about three
years.
Several nights ago he upheld his
reputation in a manner that leaves
little doubt as to the authenticity
Of his claims.
Cundiff left Wilmington aboard
Jacksonville bus a little after
midnight. He held a ticket for
Camp Davis and had good inten-
tons of getting off there.
Some two hours later, the bus
driver shook him awake in Jack
sonville.
Everett asked him why he hadn't
awakened him at Holly Ridge and
the driver replied: Il did-you
must have gone back to Sleep
Cundiff hung around the Jack
sonville bus station until three
o'clock when he finally boarded a
Wilmington bus. He carefully in
formed the driver he wanted off
at Camp Davis, then went to sleep.
The next thing he remembers
was a blurry-eyed view Of Market
Street which is very much in Will
mington and 81 miles from Camp
Davis.
1t took Cundiff over eight hours
to get home that morning. He fin
ally rolled on the post at a. m.
Everett has slept thru a robbery,
a bombing raid, a fighter attack
while he was riding as crew
member, and all sorts of spectacu-
lar news events.
He has missed meals, dates and
business appointments. Extremists
say he might possibly miss his
own funeral.
All this doesn't bother Everett.
After three years in the Pacific,
he says that a man is entitled to a
little sleep.

Re-educating Germans

Possibly chief among the problems pre-
Germany is how best to re-educate the people
so as to eliminate the curse Of Nazism and
Prussianisn1. The task is the more trouble
some because it is not clearly known where
to begin or what to teach
Dewitt Mackenzie, Associated Press analyst,
offers this:
THE first task will be to determine what
are the right lines, and that won't be easy
because there's no exact precedent for guild
ance. The job of re-education will take years,
and the Allies can't afford to make serious
mistakes. The wrong approach would be add
ing to the damage already done by the war;
mongering dictator.
$50 where do we begin? The other night
spoke on foreign affairs at dinner, and dur
ing a question period afterward a university
president raised the point of what type of edu-
cation should be promoted in Germany in order
to achieve peace. We quickly found we agreed
that the educational program should be such
as would give the Germans the greatest de-
gree OF acquaintance with the peoples of other
nations
"And what would be the medium Of this
education. Well, the most important would seem
to be the everyday news Of all categories, told
in Straightforward manner through press and
radio. Short of travel, that's the easiest way
to become acquainted with other peoples. And
by news one means humanized report that
includes those garden-fence chats which are
so essential to neighborly understanding.
TT strikes me this is useful to remember
not only in connection with Germany's re-
Mobilization but in considering the relations
among other countries. The present day diff
culties which we see cropping up even among
the United Nations are due in many in
stances to lack of acquaintance with the other
fellow. That breeds suspicion
