Power and Miss Hayward try one
trick after another without gain
ing any advantage over the BAN

film is well played, some of the
scenery is nice. and the produc-

of action, too. At one point Power

battle-ground" in its dramatic
wallop. It is nevertheless dra-
matically favored human story
Of a group Of fighting men who
had as much to fight against as
they had to fight for as members
of the American forces in World
War II.
Prejudice, suspicious. and some
times bigotry in its most brutal
aspects forced them to fight their

fore they could enlist to do battle
with the Italians and Germans
In Europe.
Their victories in both con-
hicts are recorded in go for

which accords them both admira-
ton and affection. This is a
thoughtful picture, including at
least by implication all groups
who are the innocent victims of
racial antagonism. It is never
so reflective. happily enough. that
1t forgets action, humor, and a
number of other warm and liv-
Ing qualities which are vital to
any movie.

The conventional blessings OF
the Department of Defense are

More than this, it made available
the official records of the 442d

key platoon is taken over by End

TOO MANY PEOPLE BEING
KILLED ON HIGHWAYS

Too many people are being kill
ed by motor vehicles in the state
OF Virginia. There is a greater
volume of traffic on the high
ways than. ever before, and some
accidents are bound to happen.
Ihere is, OF course, a variety Oh
causes. one OF the chief sources
OF death and destruction is pure

speeding and alcohol, Ii we can
get at the causes, we can save
some lives and prevent much

special attention to reckless and
drunk driving. The net result
will be tightening up process,
with sitter penalties for those
convicted.
Bigger fines, longer jail SEN
fences, and more extended sus-

certainly in order and will do
some good What other remedies
than stricter enforcement are
there? We suggest two.

Should there in addition be a

his social attitudes, and an APP
praisal of his nervous and men

slaughter on our highways. Re-

To Open on June ;

The Commissioners have de-

ganizations and individual citizens
to work for well-filled classes in
local nursing schools this fall.
Increasing demands are being
made on the nursing profession to
meet civil and military needs, they
said, and greater numbers of stu
dent nurses must be recruited.
Local schools of nursing are
calling for at least $50 qualified
young women between the ages of
18 and IS, they noted.
Nursing is a satisfying and re-
Warding career, because few pro-

play such vital roles in the de-
