She announced that Mother Superior Henrietta of St. Ann’s hospital is chairman of the home nursing program and Mrs. Tom Dyer is chairman of the nurses aide program. Those nurses inte- rested are to take the Red Cross first aid course. Miss Florence Ullrich of the Na- tional Red Cross nursing division spoke at the meeting. “A part of the Red Cross program is to help in the promotion of our educational !program to eliminate suffering. The home nursing program is a part of ! The Red Cross home nursing pro- {gram has been continuous since its beginning in 1914, according to Miss Ullrich. “It is an important phase of the civil defense. ‘The Na- tional Security Resources Bbard and the national civil defense made the Red Cross responsible for the train- ing of first aid people and nurses in case of emergency,” she said. Thirty hours of training are neces- sary in the home nursing course for instructors who will teach the course and for those who take the course from the instructors. It is hoped that the instructors course can be started next week. Ten of the nurses at’the meeung signified that they would take the course during the next three weeks to be- come jnstructors.

SUKCLERY THE WHY OF IT Purcell McKamey of Steelton Pennsylvania, wrote me a long an. interésting letter, the gist of which is: “ .. From the spelling of your name, it is to be assumed that your origin is of Polish or Russidn: is it that you are psychologically af- fected by this background to the | extent that you use your column to try and prove how much you are! | against anything Russian or Com- | | munistic? . . . are you fair in your attacks upon people who have the-} will and right to their thoughts re-{ gardless of how they may disagree | with yours or others?” The why of all this is quite simple. In 1917, when Russian rebelled | against the Czar and his court, against the power of Rasputin and the corruption of nobility, the many, like myself, felt that free, repre-| sentative government, that liberty had pierced the last great auto- cratic country. Turkey had become 1911; now Russia had joined the march. I was then a student at Colum- bia University and sought for means to go to Russia to fight and labor for liberty. I got a job as a cor- respondent, sailed on the old Oscar II and, after a short stay in Sweden, arrived in Petrograd. There I be- came editor of the Russian Daily News, an English-lariguage news- paper, ! As a working newspaperman, charged with the task of reporting daily on events and publishing them im the city which was then the capital of the country, I had many situation as it developed. I ‘witnessed the siruggles of Kerensky against both the Com- munists and the Czarists. I was pre- sent at the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks. I saw Lenin, Trotsky |and Stalin (who was then not so {important) at close quarters. I had to understand the movements which _ | were influencing millions of human beings. I lived under .the Commun- ists from October, 1917, to March, | 1918. The heartbreak of it was that, there was no will for liberty among the Marxists. They only sought power. Their own phrase for it was that they “took power.” I was present at all the sessions [of the constituent assembly which had been called before the Bolshe- viks took over. They laughed at the idea of the elected representatives of the people determining the basic law of the country. They sent sailors to break it up. I witnessed the suppression of | every organ of the people— the church, the press, meetings, political parties. Quickly they restored the despotism of the Czars. It was 2 despotism without restraint. Human freedom was a value which I had taken for granted. I was born in the United States, where I had never felt the force of government on my back like a lash. I knew no class, no race, no religi- ous struggle. My father went to his synagogue on the sabbath and we children walked behind him, as our Irish and German neighbors went to their churches on Sunday. In America, even God could be taken for granted. It was in Sibera that the qu&s- tion of God and country and human liberty became an issue that had to be worked out. I had seen the de- gradation of man. I had seen men and women who did 1ot fear death, but who did fear life. For 13 years after that I lived and worked in China. Many of the |name you now read about, I knew (as young men and women, my own age. My associations with Sun Yat- Sen were close. I knew Chiang Kai- Shek before he became a figure. I knew many of the present Com- munist leaders as far back as 1919 when I was adviser to the Shanghai Students’ Union, whose scroll still hangs on my wall. But the question of human liberty and country and God was not an- swered in China. Our troops today speak of the brutality of the Oriental, their habit of shooting the a free country in 1908; China in| opportunities to come close to the "AT WAR WITH THE ARMY" ON TONIGHT AT 20TH CENTURY| Coming direct from Hollywood for.a premiere showing on the Pa- cific Coast, is “At War With the Army,” tonight at the 20th’Century Theatre.

Before their induction, Dean and Jerry worked together as a comedy team, but in the army theyre at cross purposes, with Sergeant Deun; wanting overseas, and Private Jerry - trying to get further inland. i However, three young lovelies with | other plans invade the camp. An- gela Greene, the captain's wife, gives her husband the orders which he relays to the men. Jean Ruth, & | not-so-bright cutie, with designs on Dean, gets the handsome sergeant into a series of tight spots, while pretty Polly Bergen battles her for | Dean’s affections. —— | Along with the zany complications comes a flock of Mack David-Jerry Livingston hit tunes which are put | across in 1i {and Polly.

WANT ADS BRING RESUL1»> sick and wounded and prisoners of war, And always it came to me: from what is derived mercy, compassion, pity, charity, love? Can men be frec without God? To understand my own necessity for God, I read anhd studied the enemy. I devoted myself to every biologic and physical evidence of the futility of the supernatural. But it did not do in the realm of man's relationship to man. For the most that Karl Marx could establish was that those men and those things survived which struggled hardest in a suitable environment to survive. Yet, I also witnessed the elevation of the spirit of love daily in the works of compassionate men whe lived in freedom. In my own country, the United States, I knew freedom. I also knew God. Of course, any human society has faults—but I could say in 1981 in the depth of the depression, that I could find no condition of life in America, material or spiritual, that was as unfavorable.as that to which I had for 14 years become ac- customed in Russia and Asia.
