Some of these men are engaged in the combat zones while others are in the homeland completing preparations for battle duties. 4 1 i i Navy Urgently Needs 4,000 More Nurses NASHVILLE, Nov. 4.

A total of 4.000 more nurses are urgently needed by the Navy, by June 30, 1945, to maintain the strength of the Navy Nurse Corps at the desired level. With a present strength of 8,700 women in the Nurse Corps, at least 2,000 new recruits are being sought before the end of December, 1944, in order to keep pace with the nursing requirements of the still-expanding Navy while taking into account separations from the Corps. The Nurses Corps, whose members serve on hospital ships and at base hospitals in combat zones as well as at shore installations in this country, is scheduled to provide three nurses for 'every 1.000 men and women in the Naval Services. This means that the net strength of the Nurse Corps should be approximately 11,500 by next June. The Navy is calling for volunteers from among the 26,000 registered nurses certified by the War Manpower Commission on September 1, 1944, as available for military service.

Interested applicants should address inquiries to The Surgeon General, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Navy Department, Washington, 25, D.C. wr 1 3 o) "A STAFF SERGEAJNT UJ-Attln- ZrYT.

And this Catholic education in its academic standing In its teaching ability, and in its educational results, averages well up to the public school education of today.

The United States of America was founded on religious principles. All our schools, up to 1840, were essentially religious. George Washington said: "Reason and experience forbid us to expect that natural morality can prevail in exclusion of religious and this sentiment has been echoed by nearly every President since. Who, then, can say that the Catholic School, the nursery of Faith and citizenship alike, is un-American? If it's anything Catholic, ask a Catholic!

"No arithmetic?" gasped the boy's father. "Do you expect me to send my son to a school that eliminates the basic principles of mathematics, a knowledge needed in every walk of life?" A school with no arithmetic! What nonsense! Yet Is 1 it more deplorable than a school that teaches nothing of God, our first beginning and our last end of Jesus, our Redeemer and the greatest of air teachers of the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount of love of neighbor for the sake, of God of obedience to our civil rulers because their power comes from God? To the Catholic the elimination of religious teaching is more than deplorable. It is tragic. For religion is the only solid basis for morality religious instruction for the mind, religious training for the will. Home teaching or an hour in Sunday school can hardly suffice.

God and His will must be an integral part of the child's daily life. It is because Catholics believe this so firmly, that, while paying their full share of the support of hrov flravps. resides in Henderson, WALTER L. JORDAN NOLAN C. WOOLEY CLARENCE W.

"Yeah," said the soldier from Kentucky. "Lot harder than those gals we knew in Italy." "Yeah." "Take those gals in Italy. All you had to do was to say you was going to marry them and take them to America and you was the same as the king.

Nothing they wouldn't do for you." 'Yeah," said the soldier from Kentucky. "But these French gals you tell them you are going to take them to America after the war and that don't settle anything. They are what you call That is French for 'difficult'." "Yeah." said his buddy. We had picked up the two soldiers in our jeep as we passed through a small French village in which they had been stationed some time before. They had revisited their girl friends and were returning to their camp.

The sol-, dier from Wyoming was a short, stocky blonde boy of twenty, lively as a cricket. His friend from Kentucky was a few years older, dark featured and solemn faced. "My girl's name is Rolande," said Wyoming. "She's the prettiest blonde I ever saw. She's only 18.

She don't speak English and I don't speak enough French to notice. But we can talk along all right when we are alone. When her folks get to talking to me, though, I get all mixed up and can't understand them. They 'don't use the same words as my girl else they use them too fast." "My girl's named Francelle," volunteered Kentucky. "I seen prettier girls sinee I come overseas two years ago but not around here." "Is your gal jealous?" asked Wyoming.
