NAVY NEEDS MEDICAL OR DENTAL TRAINED WOMEN

The $125,000,000 American Red Cross War Fund Campaign is about to begin. Spencer county’s quota toward this amount is $5,000. Township quotas are as follows: Rockport (city of) $725; Carter $725; Clay $340; Grass $500; Hammond $400; Huff $400; Jackson $300; Luce $700; Ohio $500. As chairman of the Spencer County Red Cross Chapter, I am urging the citizens of this county to give full support to this noble endeavor. Our campaign is directed by Rev. O. A. Beanblossom of Dale, with the help of the various township chairmen and the Rockport chairman. Several hundred workers will be engaged in making house to house canvasses in Rockport, the towns, and entire rural sections. A meeting of chairmen, workers, and all others interested in Red Cross, will be held on Friday night, March 5th at 7:30 at the Chrisney High School.

The Red Cross is the only nonmilitary organization that follows the Armed Forces wherever they go and offers the services to the fighting men that the military organization does not furnish. These services consist of recreational facilities, nursing services, medical supplies, bandages for the wounded, blood plasma, cigarettes, candies, special clothing such as sweaters, gloves, etc., and many other articles of comfort. The Spencer county campaign will begin on March 8th and an effort will be made to solicit every person that has an individual income. Please make the matter of your contribution a special order of business and have it ready when your solicitor calls upon you. Your donation will be your personal contribution for the comforts of our fighting men, and your conscientious consideration in this matter is very important to the cause of our country, CarJ J. Englebrecht, Chairman Spencer go, Red Cross Chapter.

Women of Dale and surrounding territory now have an excellent opportunity to cash in on their medical or dental training, according to Ensign W. D. Rodney, Jr., officer in charge of the local Navy Recruiting Station. The Bureau of Medicine and Surgery is especially desirous of obtaining women between the ages of 20 and 36 for the Medical Department of the Navy. These women will be enlisted in the WAVES as Apprentice Seamen for approximately four months training, part of which will be in Naval Hospitals. Upon successful completion of the training course they may be advanced in rating up to and including Pharmcist’s Mate Second Class. Further promotions will be on the same basis as the men.

Especially desired at this time are women who have had at least two years of high school in addition to training or experience in X-Ray, physiotherapy, clinical laboratory, dental technique, pharmacy, physics, chemistry, bacteriology, biology, and nursing, except graduate and registered nurses. Medical and dental office assistants are also needed.

in the rural schools. He is now a defense worker at Charlestown. He wore a suit of oxford gray. Mr. Hollan, the best man, wore a suit of navy blue. Both men wore a white carnation in the lapels of their coats.

Miss Leona Milligan became the bride of Mr. Ray Clements Saturday afternoon, February 20, at 4:00 o’clock with a single ring ceremony read by Rev. O. A. Beanblossom. The wedding was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Hollan, of Dale, Ind. Mr. and Mrs. Hollan were the only attendants.

TOMATOES $26.00 PER TON

This will be our base price for 1943. The high price has been established because tomato products are so badly needed by our Armed Forces and as a special inducement for farmers to grow more tomatoes. We are going to take on more acreage than usual, and want it as soon as possible, but when we reach our limit we must quit. Therefore, sign up at your first opportunity. See me or call at the store of C. W. Wedeking & Co., Dale. I plan on being there on Saturdays, when I can, to discuss matters of mutual interest with the growers and shall be glad to see you. ACME CANNING CO. T. W. Stone, Manager.

The bride wore a teal blue street length dress with black accessories, and carried red roses. She is the daughter of Mrs. Etta Milligan of Paoli and is a clerk in the Paoli A. & P. Store.
