as assistants to trained nurses, to make beds in approved hospital fashion, to give baths, take temperatures, work in wards and clinics. and in general, to release the trained nurses to do as much specialized nursing as possible. This trained and disciplined service will help relieve the shortage of trained nurses for civilian service. Professional nurses are being called daily for duty with the armed forces at home and abroad. Some 50.000 others are in training, but the fighting men need them at the front.

The Red Cross, in collaboration with the Office of Civilian Defense, has issued a nation-wide appeal for 100,000 Aides, who are ur- gently needed now in every part of I the country. Nurses abroad are active in theaters of war; those at home are i greatly overworked. It is up to women, then, who have spare time and want to play a real part in civilian defense, to enroll as Volunteer Nurse Aides. The health of the country must be safeguarded at all costs. It may win or lose this war.
