These men, however, are not dry-as-dust museum specialists. The Animal Kingdom is about live animals that they tracked and whose ways they observed in the animals’ native haunts in all parts of the earth The authors share with their read ers “thrilling adventures anc startling encounters with bears and wolves of the Arctic plains with lions in the African wild birds of the rain forests of New Guinea, insects of the jungles ol South America, and reptiles of the American deserts and woodlands. They tell us about fishes that builr nests, desert rodents that nevei drink water, young elephants that make their own playthings, of bat that go fishing, of birds that can’t fly but run faster than most othei animals, of insects that fly witl their tails, of toad fishes that car sing. Even the stories of legen dary beasts as the unicorn and the sea serpent are given. Here is easy reading for botl old and young. Although the in formation is thoroughly scientific technical language has been avoid ed. Here, also, is entertaining reading, for the authors have giv en us not only the evolution of al living creatures except man but stories of the oddities of amnia life. • CLASSIFIEDS SELL - Dial 410 GOT A HAULING JOB?

Need For Nurses Far Outstrips Supply Available More nurses than ever before in the history of the nation are cur ,-ently providing nursing rare in America's hospitals health agen cjfs and homes. Neail> *' ■ registered professional nurses and 75.000 licensed practical nurse- are currently caring for patients. Still more nurses are needed. Why? Because demands for nurs ing' service continue to outstrip the supply of nurses. More hos pitals and health agencies are bo ng built or expanding their facili • ics and services. Mon people go • , hospitals, thanks to the growth nf health insurance plan- such as [Hue Cross and Blue Shield. More habie- are being born (90' of them in hospitals) and people are i.ving longer, with the result that the population has more than doubled since 1900. Health edu cation programs, expending mil lions of dollars annually, are in fluencing people to seek medical and nursing caie readily. New drugs and medical treatments re quire more nurses and more high ly skilled nurses. More than 50,000 professional nurses are needed to meet essen tial civilian demands for nursing -ervice. Another 60,000 practical nurses could be employed this year if they were available. BUCKEYE AKD JIMS BRANCH Mrs. Clyde Pickens Phone 2-1427 The Emma W. Baker circle "f the \V. M.
