with the troubles faced b/ doughboys
at home and abroad.
Burdening a soldier with petty family

the Illness of some loved one, or
otherwise causing him unnecessary

break the soldier's, morale, they say.
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,

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

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.

0. D. T. Head Urges
Parcels Be Carried
Camden housewives can help materially
to reduce wear and tear on
Camden's delivery trucks by arranging
their purchases so as to avoid
all nonessential service, L. R. Stallfngs,
manager of the Carollnas agency
of the Office of Defense Transportation,
said Monday.
If the housewives, Mr. Stallings said,
will space their purchases so that
fewer trips are necessary, carry theiy
own packages, wherever possible, And
let those upon whom they depend for
necessary delivery service know they
are eager to cooperate in the ODT
conservation program, they will be
doing the country a real service.
He pointed out that It bad come to
be a custom for department stores,
groceries, laundries, cleaning - firms,
bakeries, drag stores and other industries
and enterprises serving the
nation's households to perform all
manner of delivery services by tracks.,
These were convenient and pleasant^
Mr. Stalllags reminded, but very .far
from necessary. We can get along
: without these extra Wftees, he declared,
and the ?onnt#/ will be for'
tunate If the w*r does not bring Car
worse hardship^ . . ' '' ' _ '

Says Association
In Good Condition
The mld-yenr report of the Kershaw
Production CredlC Association, sub mitted
by John C. Stover, secretary- i
treasurer, shows that the association
had outstanding a total of 324 loans
in the amount of $232,337. This compares
with 336 loans for $188,762 on
the same date last year. *
The association, which Is controlled <
by farmers of Kershaw and Lancas- *
ter counties," has 370 Class B stockholders
who own $14,610 of the capital
stock of the association. Reserves ;
amount to $15,390, which indicates,
according to Mr. Stover, that the
members now hold a substantial portion
of the capital aud that the association
Is in a healthy condition.
"Wo *r? j?8t beginning the 194*
harvest season.'4 Mr. Stover declared
this week. "Fruit and grain crops
have been moving to market and although
the cash returns from some
of these crops are small, a fair price
was and is being realised by farmers.
In some instances, returns tro?1
peaches have been exceptionally go
Cotton and peanuts will move to market
at a price anticipated to be well
above the average for the past several
years."
Mr Stover said that farmers on the
whole Id the Kerehaw Production j
Credit Association territory seemed
to have their minds made up to pay
debts and'reduce their outstanding
obligations as much as their incomes
will allow. He adds that If prices are
good many of them plan to strengthen
their financial position and Invest
their surplus funds in War Stamps
and Bonds. The association has a
