Red Cross Seeking
Additional Nurses
Washington, D. C.?Reports from
American Red Cross chapters
throughout the country reveal that
women are responding to the call
for 50,000 First Reserve Red Cross
nurses, officials here announced.
In making the plea for the enroll
ment of additional nurses, Miss Mary
Beard, director of the Red Cross
Nursing Service, declared, "To place
the nation's nursing program on a
full wartime basis, the Red Cross
must increase its nursing reserve by
more than 50,000 trained nurses.
"The Red Cross First Reserve, to
taling approximately 24,000, is com
prised of single nurses, under 40,
who are subject to call to active du
ty with the armed forces. Member*
of the Second Reserve, totaling 34,
000, are for various reasons unavail
able for military duty, but are pre
pared to serve in disasters, wartime
epidemics, and to reinforce nursing
public health work for civilian de
fense."
Miss Beard issued the call for
nurses following a conference with
Major Julia O. Flikke, superinten
dent of the Army Nursing Corps and
Miss Sue S. Dauser, superintendent
of the Navy Nursing Corps.
Major Flikke reported that at
least 10,000 additional nurses are
needed for Army duty. Miss Dauser
said that more than 1,390 addition
al nurses will be required to keep
pace with the expandtng personnel
I of the Navy.
Red Cross officials here declared
that at the close of the first World
War, 22.854 regular nurses and Red
Cross Reserve Nurses were serving
with the Army and 1,500 with the
I Navy.

Loses To Farm Life
The Williamston High School bas
keteers lost a doubleheader to the j

Friday night. The girls lost 28-14,
while the boys were edged out 25
to 22.

game to a strong Farm Life sextet, I
M. Moore being high scorer with five
points. Perry and Ward followed
close behind with four points each.
L. Griffin led the visitors with 16
points.
The second game of the evening
proved to be much more exciting
than the first. The Williamston boys,
being behind five points at the half,
put up a strong offensive fight in the
third quarter to bring the score to a
19-19 deadlock.
George Cunningham, who was re
cently elected captain, made a field
goal and a free shot which gave Wil
liamston a 3-poihl margin. But Ben
nie Daniel, leading scorer for Farm
Life, sank three successive field goals
at the close of the game to put the
visitors out in front. 25-22.
