Daytime Nurses Aides
Still DireIy Needed
Postwar Problems

just one of the recent emergency
demands for Red Cross nurses aides
There was call from Gallinger
Hospital. Nurses aides must be sent
to the hospital nursery Immediately
There were SO babies in the nursery
and not single nurse to take care
of them. All the nurses were down
with the flu.
Cannot Refuse Calls.
The nurses aide corps cannot re-
fuse a call-whether it comes from
terminal, hospital or the scene
of disaster.
These emergency calls are in ad-
dition to the everyday needs that
have to be filled, too. While there
must be nurses aides on call for
emergencies, there also must be
enough aides to work on the hos
pital wards, helping to fill the gaps
in service left by the nurses who
went to war and have not yet come
back.
Again and again, the District Red
Cross has issued call for women
to take the training they need to
be capable and efficient when the
time for service comes. The last
three weeks of intensive recruiting
have provided enough volunteers to
fill night class but only six women
for the daytime class.
It takes lot more than six
women to fill class-or to answer
all the calls for help.

School Custodians
To Be Paid Today
After a Days Delay

Approximately 1000 public school
clerks and custodians were sched-
uled to be paid today-four days
late.
This month the school auditors s
Office was able to get the 5000
teachers paid on time, but the staff
failed to get the custodians' pay
roll ready because so many overtime
pay changes had to be made for
the holiday season, a spokesman
said.
The school auditors Office in TAX
ing the full blame, declared that
either the teachers, or the GUS
todians, or perhaps both, will be
constantly irked by late checks un-
til more financial clerks are pro-
vided. This statement has been
made repeatedly by A. R. Pilkerton,
District auditor, who wants pay
rolls centralized under his direction
instead of being prepared first by
the schools.
The auditing staff was under a
heavier load than usual this month
because new tax rates in effect since
January l changed all the rolls, the
school spokesman said. This time
the custodians bore the delay instead
of the teachers because the teachers
payroll, while longer, takes less time
to prepare than the complicated
overtime payroll for custodians and
clerks, it was explained.
The clerks and custodians received
their pay five days late two weeks
ago. Cause of this was attributed
by the schools to the District auditor
who, in turn, said the holiday season
had interfered with his production
schedule. Custodians and clerks are
paid every two weeks and teachers
every month

boldly and aggressively," Charles

take place in Maryland and vir-
glnla, and the central business dis

OF the land area of the District, will
be devalued, he said.
The automobile is destined to be-
come the dominant mode of trans
portation in cities whose principal
growth came. during the $780, 1926
period. when street railways SET
thelr pattern, Mr.. McGavin said,
Not only will there be more auto.
