To the 70,000 American nurses eligible for Army and Navy service. There Is a priority on unmarried nurses between the ages of 21 and 40 today. It is the priority of the Army and Nkvy on your services. Ab America's armed forces extend their activities along every front in the fight for freedom, the need for your services is Increasing. The Army and Navy must be supplied with at least 3,000 nurses a month. Thousands of nurses already have responded to the call. But the need for more Is great. On the far-flung battlefields from Alaska and Australia, from Iceland to Iran, and wherever the enemy lurks, American soldiers and sailore are fighting to preserve our way of life, victory depends on their health. When they lie sick or wounded, will you be there to help? Or will It again be a case of "too little, too late". The answers rest with you.

Yours is a great privilege. ** A nation-wide campaign to recruit thousands of women for the ddlunteer Nurse's Aid Corps will be launched by the American Red Cross In September, Mrs. Walter Lippmann, assistant director of Red Cross Volunteer Special Services, announced. The recruits are needed to relieve an acute nursing shortage throughout the country and to safeguard civilian health facilities, Mrs. Lippmann stated. A war-engulfed world on August 22 noted^ the 78th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Geneva, under which the International Red Cross committee was established. Out of the treaty alsq grew methods of providing humanitarian care for sick and wounded soldiers, regardless of nationality, in wartime, and the protections of hospitals, ambulances, and personnel caring for them on the field of battle. Subsequent treaties extended these services and also provided for reciprocal argeements between nations for the better treatment of prisoners of war. Headquarters of the International Red Cross committee still are Geneva. Since last December it has handled thousands of Inquiries from the American Red Cross on the whereabouts of missing soldiers and captive civilians in belligerent countries. It also is the clearing hofise . through which the American Red Cross obtain delivery of food, clothing and medical supplies to Americana who are prisoners of war. Every motion picture theater in the country is expected to stop Its show four minutes at 9 p. m., September lj during which the audience will be asked to rise and give three cheers for the U. 8. military forces as a prelude to "Salute to Our Heroes Month." ^ The Red Cross needs two hies for correspondence.

Gas Ration Mentor Issues a Warning As there have been many reports to the local gas rationing headquarters of lost or stolen ration books, Dft T. 11. Hruce, chairman of the gas | rationing unit, has requested the cooperation of all filling station opera* tors In the effort to apprehend the thieves. |n a statement Thursday morning Dr. llruce stated that he was warning all filling station operators that they jnnst exercise the closest caution In servicing any car with gas. He has urged them to look at the windshield sticker on the car and also note the make and license number, to see that all coincide with the car record on the ration certificate book. If the car and ration book do not coptorm In these details, It Is up to the filling station operator to report tbk matter to the ration board or the police. "phere is a severe penalty attached to the use of books on the part of persons who have gained possession of them by ulterior means. The penalty is shared by the filling station operator who may unknowingly service a car belonging to a person other than the one to whom the ratlonlpg book has been Issued'. Dr. Bruce stated that his appeal to the filling station operators to aid i In his efforts to apprehend the ration book thieves, was also In the nature of an effort' to protect these same operators who ,unintentionally might get themselves In a Jam.
