WESTERLY SALES SPEEDING UP Nearly Seventy-Five Per Cent of Allotment of Bonds Sub scribed—Men Who Will Answer Call Next Sunday— Cases In Superior Court—Big Liberty Loan Parade Plan- ned For Friday Afternoon—Gifts For Captain Robert M. Freestone. bl Dr. Arthur T. Jones, secretary of win and the young ‘doctor who is the medical sfection, Rhode Island|given a first lieutenant’s commission Councll of Defense, has received an ur- gent appeal from the national organ- ization for the enrollment of more Rhode Island doctors in the Medical Reserve corps. Several thousand more doctors are needed, some in the army and some in the navy, and, so it is said, there are many deaths right in New England camps due to lack of adequate medical attention, by reason of the scarcity of doctors in the ser- vice. Hany of the doctors to be en- rolled will be detailed for immediate work, others will be trained and then| gent into service, while a few may be held in geserve. Rhode Island has now 79 doctors, three from Westerly, enrolled in the Medical Reserve corps, or _approxi- mately 10 per cent. of the 773 in the state. Therefore it ranks forty-second among the states in percentage of doc- tors in the service, only six other states ranking lower.

The government has no desire to endanger the health of the people and enough doctors will be left at home to take care of the ordinary conditions. Al- though mental as well as physical ex- aminations are required, no doctor ‘who has been licensed to practice med- icine in Rhode Island, need have any fear of failing in the mental test.” The Westerly district is making a good showing in the Liberty loan cam- pain.
