City Leads in Nurse Recruits

Indianfipolis is leading other cities in recruiting graduate nurses for the army air forces, Miss Lillian Adams, Red Cross recruiting secretary, was told this week-end in the air surgeon-general’s office in Washington. Miss Adams was attending a nurse enlistment meeting there. Twenty local nurses have applied for the service, the largest number coming from any one locality. Assignment will be made after acceptance and induction. Training courses for air evacuation work and general service with the air forces will’ be held at Bowman field, Ky., and a Florida training center, Indianapolis is one of the first cities to send in applications from the civilian nursing ranks. A small group is being selected from the ranks of general army ntrses for the specialized training. The popularity of air force service and impending regulations on nurse placement make it advisable for nurses desiring this service to apply immediately, Miss Adams said. Recently graduated nurses not yet registered may apply as well as registered nurses. Enlistments for the army and navy nurse corps are expected to increase by the anticipated passage of legislation increasing the minimum base pay to $150 a month plus maintenance and uniforms.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—Mrs.

dismissed her chef, head butler and two maids, substituted artificial flowers (freshened by dry cleaning) for great masses of fresh flowers which used to cost $2000 to $3000 per party, and limited her own desserts to fruits and store-bought cookies or almost sugarless gingerbread baked by a good, plain $190-a-month

| cook.

At her last big party, the traditional Friendship Thanksgiving luncheon, Mrs. McLean served a simple four-course menu: Soup with rolls and butter; red wine; turkey (no second helping), dressing, string beans and sweet potatoes; sugarless alligator pear salad: individual ice creams in small paper containers, iced store cakes and coffee. In the old days there would have been lavish hors d'oeuvres, featuring Russian caviar; French champagne and red and white wines; a fish course following soup; a rich jellied meat course following the entrce or main course; salad; a procession of waiters carrying molded ice cream in spun-sugar nests; cake, can-

at each table.

rl . HER WARTIME guest lists are smaller—she plans a “small” New Year's eve dance for 60 or 70, instead of the usual lavish Friendship New Year's party. But for Christmas she hopes to give one of the biggest parties Friendship ever knew—an entertainment for every soldier and sailor from the Stage Door canteen, with a Christmas tree in her drawing room. That might run to 2500 men in uniform. But why does she keep on giving parties when other socialites have called a halt (at least publicly) for the duration? Only a few days ago Mrs. Roosevelt an-

Woman's Viewpoint—

Looks at Farm I _abor Problem

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Times Special Writer REPORTS FILTERING out of Washington say plans are being made to put thousands of city people at part-time farm work by next summer. It's a pretty theory, but we should not expect too startling

results, since many a city worker would be as useless in the fields as a pig in the parlor. It is possible for untrained people to help harvest . crops, but one doesn’t harvest them until after they're put in, and putting in a crop calls for experience, skill and a certain amount of training. Many recent pronouncements on rural problems, from editorial desks, senatorial sanctums and swivelchair agriculturists, create some fun, but more consternation, among dirt farmers. For such pronouncements usually assume that farming comes natural to anybody, or can be picked up in a few days. Perhaps these men forget, or maybe they never knew, that agriculture is a business—the biggest business in our nation. The way everything looks now, we can be sure many city dwellers will be forced to help out in the country at certain seasons. However, only the most visionary New Dealer can suppose this will solve the farm labor shortage. 2 nn =a

IN ORDER to feed ourselves, our fighting men, our allies and other starving nations, we shall have to employ a large force of experienced individuals for full time work in rural areas. ‘There is simply no other way to get the job done. Incompetence and inefficiency can—and often do—command big wages in our urban production systems. But it takes something more than a big pay envelope, time-and-a-half for overtime and a union card to persuade Mother Earth to produce. Farming is a science; it is also a test of man’s fortitude and wisdom. To succeed at it he musi outwit the elements as well ag marketing monopolies. To . make the. soil bring forth requires a high order of intelligence—and something even. more important—plain old horse sense. I'm not sure that city people will be of any great help to the farmers, but I'm willing to bet that the experience of working on a farm will be of vast benefit to city people.

In the first world war I rolled bandages and moved downtown with my children, turning the old Friendship over to the army. Two hun.dred wounded soldiers from Walter Reed hospital moved in. ” » s “I CAN'T roll bandages this time; I'm an old woman. But I've given my Massachusetts ave. ° home (built by her father, Thomas J.

Women at War Week Brings ‘Three Million

Indiana women were responsible for $3,125,206 in war bond sales during national “Women at War Week” Nov. 22 through Nov. 28. Announcement of total sales was made by Mrs. Oscar A. Ahlgren, Whiting, state chairman of women’s organizations of the war savings staff, after sales had been tabulated in the state office. The amount represents 15 per cent of the state’s $20,641,433.50 sales total. Largest amount of sales was recorded in Marion county and Indianapolis, where Mrs. Rudolph Grosskopf, chairman, . reported a $1,345,951.25 total for the week. Allen county was second with $336,446.50 in sales, and Hammond women, where 1600 attended a war bond breakfast with Mrs. Henry F. Schricker, wife of the governor, and Mrs. Ahlgren as guests, sold $222,000 in bonds. Other counties recording large totals were Vanderburgh county, 31%, ,622, and Howard county, $105,“We are proud of the work of the women of Indiana,” said Mrs. Ahlgren. “To say that women will win the war ‘is fantastic, but the war cannot be won without the help of1 the women, and the women of Indiana will not fail. “Now that women-at-war week is over, women are turning their energies to seeing to it that every family is a ‘victory family,’ with every member with an income investing at least 10 per cent in war bonds.”
