 Nurses Is Taken for
 Ride by Knowing One
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, reb l5.-The ether day I talked to an irate young lady. She wore the uniform of the Army Nurse Corps, the bar of a first lieutenant and the service rib bon that comes with IA months service in the Mediterranean thea ter, many of them within gun range of the front lines. For obvious reasons, I cannot use her name.
 Her anger grew out of the discus sion over the proposed draft of nurses.
 Don't misunderstood me- she said. If draft is necessary to provide the Army and Navy with an adequate corps of nurses, we will have to have it.
 What makes me mad is the i'm plication that nurses haven't done their patriotic bit in this war. Out of all this talk the public has the idea that trained nurses have lain down en the job. Nothing could

 "Of these, nearly l6,000 have been rejected. some for such silly things as crooked teeth and bi1usitis, An other 10000 have left the services, mostly for good reasoyis or on medi- cal discharges. I dont know the figures, but I'm pcslvive that the percentage of dishonorable dis charges in the Nurse corps is low CT than any other branch of the services.

 Then she realizes that in the Nurse corps, there is little chance of ever rising above 8 second lieuten- ants rating and pay WACs have become captains. majors and lieut. enant colonels, but a good nurse can go on forever as second lieuten- ant You may think this is a selfish consideration. but it's cer-

By ADELAIDE KERR 4 NelUSjedture Writer

Barbara Ann Scott, 16-year-old Canadian winner of the North American figure skating champion ship, is the only person to hold the gold medal in both the United States and Canada for proficiency in skating.
 The girl who defeated the Amer ican champion, Gretchen Merrill, to win the brightest skating crown in this hemisphere, is pretty and soft voiced. She has fair skin, chestnut hair and big schoolgirl eyes, grey as steel. She is the daughter of the late Colonel Clyde Rutherford Scott, who served overseas in World War I and was military advisor to the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Air in the pres ent war. The new champion has a brother in the Canadian air force and married sister. She lives in Ottawa with her mother, a good locking woman with steel grey eyes, who accompanied her to New York for the championship competition.
 Barbara, who is twice winner of the Canadian title, has devoted her life to skating since she got a pair of Christmas skates when she was seven. In no time at all she was spinning around the Minto Skating Club of Ottawa, soon took her tests and before long won the clubs Dev- onshire Cup. Soon afterward she annexed the junior and national figure skating championships and went on to other glories.
 Now she spends every morning from nine to twelve perfecting her figure sk lting-a task which con- pines the rigors of riveting with the precision of fine hne drawing. After nocns she Is tutored and between times she studies music and gets in as much piano practice as she can.
 Dates?
