So acute is the situation, especially under the stress of na tional emergency, the Government has appropriated more than »1,- 000,000 to assist accredited schools in training nurses for military and civilian jobs. Today’s career nurse on duty with the Army and Navy is a mem ber of the Red Cross First Reserve, the official source from which the nation draws its nurses in time of emergency. On these rolls aie some 20,000 young unmarried Am-, erican women, trained in their job and physically fit. Behind the First Reserve are some 28,000 nurses who are mem bers of the Red Cross Second Re serve. They are, in effect, the “home guard,” many of whom are veterans of the last war and those who because of their marital status or age are ineligible for duty with the armed forces. In time of war theirs is a task of aiding public health officers— Federal, state and local—to ward off the grim specters of epidemic and other mass health problems that weaken a country at war. They stand ready to serve in time of na tural catastrophe or to meet the man-made chaos of sabotage. While nursing groups through out the United States bend every effort to fill gaps in their ranks, the Red Cross has undertaken to train 3 00.000 women as volunteer Nurse’s Aids. Dove-tailed into the Civil ian Defense program this armv of volunteers is being schooled in a thorough course of 80 hours quali fying them to give intelligent as sistance under the direction of registered nurses.

Which is more than can be said for many of our nicest ladies and gentlemen. A strange transformation takes pkee when they LOOK Magazine & Travelers Safely Service sit behind a steering wheel. They ignore the comfort of friends riding with them. They disdain the rights of people on foot. They yell boorishly at drivers wno displease them. Many who wouldn’t touch a nickel that belonged to someone else flaunt all law and order when behind a steering wheel, with the callousness of experienced criminals. The serious part of this curious behavior is that bad manners make bad driving, and bad driving makes accidents and death. So mend your manners and become a good citizen even when driving.
