A Little Memo Came to Us , , , So Vital and Urgent—That We Reprint It Herewith

"The Marion County Civilian ard Community War Services (formerly Women's Division of the Marion County Civilian Defense Council) is urgently calling for recruit volunteer workers Yo help in the Physical? Therapy Department at Billings . General Hospital. Classes for a 40-hour training course will start Tuesday, May Ist, in the World War Memorial Building. The classes will be held every Tuesday and. Thursday evening from 7:30 to 9:30 for Yen weeks. Women between the ages of 18 and 55 who have a high school education are eligible.

"Following the training course, the volunteers will be required to serve “a minimum of eight hours a week at Billings Hospital. Their duties will be to assist the under-staffed and over-worked technicians in the Physical Therapy Department in the treatment of wounded soldiers. This involves bringing the men to and - from the wards to the department in. wheel chairs, testing water temperature for whirlpool baths, timing and exercise periods, adjustinlamps for heat treatments and the like.

"The hours of duty are from 8 A. M. to 4 P. M. daily except Sunday. Any volunteer interested in offering her services may call Market 2401 and ask for the Marion County Civilian and Community War Service office. This is an opportunity for volunteers 40 secure training that will be invaluable tothe retyrning wounded service men."

And there is the "PHONE HOME FUND'"—sponsored by the 40 & 8 of the American Legion, The Indianapolis Star and station WIRE—it provides a free 5-minute phone call to each combat casualty admitted to the Billings General Hospital—or the Wakeman General and Convalescent Hospital—Send checks or cash to Floyd Kirlin, treasurer, Phone Home Fund, 40 and 8 Chateau, |19 East Ohio Street, Indianapolis.

And a memo comes from the Chamber 6f Commerce—tellin about the "INDIANS" (it Prohosly refers to our Baseball Team). It mentions that on the night of April the 25th (Wednesday), the "RED BIRDS" come to town (meanin Columbus—no doubt). I+ seems that men, in knickers, will gather in the presence of thousands—under electric lights—and endeavor to knock a 5-ounce, horsehide-covered sphere (9 inches in circumference)—over the high fence enclosure by smacking it with a 34-inch ash club!
