<Editor's Note: Although THE
PILOT'S news columns are pri
marily devoted to local events
or events which have a direct
local connection, we believe that
during this wartime, our local
citixens are more and more in
terested in and affectcd by gov

by the war emergency. For this
reason, we are introducing tills
week an official column sum
marizing, not news events, nec

iponse to this, we will continue
it as a weekly feature. The ex

The Home Front
One of the things we worried
about six months ago was whether
our great industries could be chang
ed over from making the autos and
the gadgets and the appliances of
peace to manufacture—on the same
mass production basis—the weapons
of war.
Today we know these industries
can do just that, because many of
the largest of them have done it and

of 22 Nurse's .\ides. ura'iuatrd in
two Ui'd Cro.'s classes conducted
since Kebruars at Moore County
Hospital, and anotlu'r class is due to
start as soon as sufficient applica
tions have been ri'ceived.
The Nurse’s .\ide cominittee is
considering the possibility ot con
ducting night classes, in response to
several requests, and also is plan
ning a Nurse's Aide cla.ss for Negro
women, if sufficient applications are
made.
Of the 22 Aides aheady graduat
ed. a few have transferred to other
localities but 17 of them are working
to complete the 150 hours of work
which each aide must give every
year. Although several have already
completed 150 hours, they are con
tinuing on duty, working regularly
so many days or hours a week. This
work is done at Moore County Hos
pital and also at Public Health Clin
ics (See picture).
Appreciation Expressed
.Appreciation of the work of the
Nurse’s Aides among professional
people with whom they work is very
high. Dr. B. M. Drake, county health

Challenge To Nation
That last figure is a truly colossal
figure. It means production for war
on a scale never before attained. It
means that we are shooting the
works—we have no other choice, if
we wish to preserve our liberties. It
means that we shall be making al
most nothing for ordinary civilian
uses, and it means that we must do
a better job of salvage than we have
been doing, because no amount of
production facilities can deliver the
goods unless there are materials
with which to work. And scrap is an
important ingredient of most mater
ials, In 1941 half of the raw mater
ial required to make iron and steel
products was iron and steel scrap.
That’s why WPB is pressing its new,
continuing national salvage, cam
paign. and that's why all of us
must stay on the salvage job until
we've won the war.
