Percy Jones Hospital Repeats
lJroent Plea for More Nurses

coming 1.-The situation Will be
grave" Percy Jones is center
for the care OF amputees.
Registered civilian nurses who
are not eligible for the Army
Nurse Corps arc urged to offer
their services along with regis
tered nurses aides who are asked
to accept Civil Service appoint
ments. Living quarters a d
meals will be provided at low
cost if required, Capt. Marsh
said. Applicants are asked TO
contact Lieut.. Oliver +. Cache,
hospital civilian personnel oftl-
Ger.
Our nursing care is adequate
at present Capt. Marsh said
but if we get more patients and
no more nurses the situation will
be grave. There are many regis
terd nurses in Michigan who are
not eligible for the Army Nurse
Corps and those are the ones
we need"
The nursing problem at Percy
Jones has been complicated by
the recent acquisition of the
large station hospital at Fort
Custer which is now an annex
of the hospital here. Demand for
trained members of the ANC
for overseas duty has also in
creased the shortage of nurses
for the hospital.

THE SITUATION: You live in
a boarding house and receive
good many telephone calls from
friends.
WRONG WAY: Let your
friends call whenever they wish,
even though it is often at meal
time.
RIGHT WAY: Tell your
friends what time you have din
ner, and ask them TO call either
before or after dinner.
THE SITUATION: a man and
woman are getting off a bus or
street car.
WRONG WAY. The man steps
aside to let the woman alight,

RIGHT WAY: The man gets
off first and then turns 10 offer

Facts About the
Gary-Chicago
School Strikes

CHICAGO, ILL Contrary to the
stories in the daily papers, the
school strikes in Gary, Ind, and
Chicago give real evidence of being
fomented by an organized group
or groups, according to on-the-spot
Investigations made by Miss Noma
Jensen of the National Office staff.
In Gary not only former known
Bundists are active but also follow
ers of Father Coughlin. Gerald L.
K. Smith, and members of the ku-
Klux-K1an," Miss Jensen has found.
"All have q stake Ia this Froabel
school strike and they are acting
accordingly. she emphasized.
The school strikes started on
Sept. is at Froebel School in Gary.
where Negroes and whites have
gone 70 school together for over
twenty years.
Miss Jensen's report continues:
The school strakss In Chicago
are undoubtedly the result Of
mounting group antagonisms. These
antagoaisri1s can be traced to the
community's failure to alleviate
over-crowdedhess In housing, dis
elimination In employment and In
the lack of success Of various civic.
groups to reform the city's school
system.
Last summer q so-called sex
crime wave broke out In the city.
The daily press, especially the Chi
cago Tribune played up the Incl
dents In glaring way. bringing the
racial angle into it in no subtle
fashion.
Liberal persons see in these
school strikes q very real attempt
to take away the small fraction
Of democracy which Negroes have
achieved

 Dr. Cline says all who donated clothing must feel a sense of satis- faction that these garments which might be lying in their attics and closets are actually bringing com fort to men, women and children in many lands who would otherwise be suffering this winter
 But the clothing shortage will continue for many months to come.
 The liberated peoples of Europe suffer continued privation and want. Victory in the Pacific has brought many more millions of war victims within the range of assistance. Therefore, everybody is asked to help in the Victory Clothing Col lection to be made Jan. 7th to 31st.
 This time our goal is 100 million garments. Each contributor will be invited to enclose in the garments good will' letter to the unknown recipient overseas. The local com- mittee hopes to receive at least one garment and one letter for every man, woman and child in Water town and Oakville.
