NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1011 American Building, Seattle, Wash. HELP WANTED No women in America are in greater demand today than those of the nursing profession. They are sorely needed by the Army and Navy. Civilian hospitals clamor for their services. And, as always, the nation's nurses are responding to humanity's call. It is with extreme pride in being able to perform | these services so vital to their country that they may wear their caps. | Hawever, there is another field in which nurses | can lend their skills today. It is a field which should appeal especially to those who are unable to enter active service because of family ties or for | other reasons. By entering it, they can ‘help teach | Americans to keep well and to care for minor ail- ments in their own homes, thus relieving the pres- sure on those doctors and nurses still on the home fronts. In almost every community throughout the coun- try, and particularly in those congested boomtowns sprouted by war, nurses are needed in the capacity of Red Cross Home Nursing instructors. Many nurses in civilian hospitals or public health agencies are now devoting leisure hours to this type of work. And though the response to the appeal of the Amer- ican Red Cross has been splendid, there is a need for many more nurse-instructors if millions of Americans are to learn the fundamentals of caring | for themselves. | |camps. The Government provides buildings and 'wny they are treated. jcampaign to make Americans of home nursing. Its goal is one million trained lAmericans by July. To do this it will be necessary |to .obtain enough instructors to pass on the know- ‘ledge which only they, as registered nurses, can give | —knowledge that is essential if we are to maintain the public’s health in wartime. Every authorized ‘nurse should plan to teach at least one class during this period. Certainly no nurse today has a right to sit back and let others fight the war She owes it to fellow nurses, serving on the far-flung fronts of Africa, |India, the southwest Pacific and other places, to |carry her burden on the home front. We believe |that most nurses are already doing their part; that | most are anxious to do more. Registered nurses who are interested in teaching | home nursing should apply to their local Red Cross |chapter for additional information. They will find |an eager welcome, both there and from the many Americans thirsting for knowledge on how to keep their health intact so that they, too, can mdake a |greater contribution to the war effort. | A class of 12 will enter St. Ann’s Hospital In | Juneau this week and we are informed by Mrs. An- |drew Gundersen, Director, that 23 already are serv- Iing in the Ketchikan hospital. | Lillian Nelson, Mrs. C.C. Carter and others who have |supported and directed this important campaign in Southeast Alaska are to be commended. A new class will start in Juneau in a few days. The support of the women of Juneau is urgently requested. OBJECTORS According to a recent dispatch from Washing- among the many millions called by the Selec- Service Act only 6,277 are conscientiousgobjec- Five-sixths of these are in civilian public ser- vice camps and the rest have been ordered to join them. They are at useful work, most of it manual, | and they work hard. They are subject to essentially military discipline. They are conscious of being ton, tive tors. helpful. A way has been found for them to serve their country without offending their religious beliefs. The support of each objector costs about $35 a month. If he can't pay it it is paid by the com- mittee of some one of the 133 religious denomina- tions whose communicants are represented in the technical training. The camp lay-out is furnished by the Selective Service system. A committee of four religions is the financial backer of the camps Here is a sensible, sound, business-like way of dealing with men whom it has been too much the| custom to regard as fantasts or extremists because | they happen to be sensitive on a point of conscience, a trait that has been honored since Christianily began.

But inside fact is that a Jot of isolationists and some | pro-Nazis are using the India- freedom movement as a shrewd ve- hicle for hitting either at the British or Roosevelt’s foreign pol- icles. ‘Take, for instance, the India League dinner held the other night at the Biltmore in New York.

Another India League executive is Mrs. Budd Armstrong, a strong America Firster. Also behind the India League dinner in New York is Sidney Hertzberg, who was public rela- tions counsel for America First, and is now public relations coun- sel for the India League. Then there is Mrs. John Gun- ther, divorced wife of the author of “Inside Europe,” no isolationist, who was fascinated by Pandit Neh- ru, the Indian leader, and is still singing his praises.
