Scrap Salvage
Set For Friday
Living organizations today will
remove useless tin cans from
their kitchens and basements for
collection on Friday. While they
may consider it a pre-school-end
cleanup, they also will be helping
to get more tin into the fight
against the Japs.
Trucks will begin visiting the
houses for the tin cans at 3 p.m.
Friday, and house war board
chairmen are requested to place
the boxes of scrap on their front
porches before that time. This
will be the last scrap drive of
the year, announces Florence
Hintzen, chairman.
Lieutenant Childs, ’40
Back from Philippines
First Lieut. A1 Childs, class of
'40, was a campus visitors last
week. After 36 days at sea, he ar
rived from the Philippines, and has
a 21-day furlough before reporting
to duty at Santa Monica, Calif. As
a casual, Lieut. Childs arrived in
the south west Pacific before the
41st division. As a member of a
fighter control squadron, his duties
in New Guinea and the Philippines
were directing planes lost in the
air.
Childs completed three years
here, and his sister, Sally Childs, is
a senior on the campus now.
of whom are in the armed forces,
the booklet reveals. An additional
5,000 could be used right now, if
they existed, according to the
foundation.
Pointing out that courses at five
or more of the approved schools of
physical therapy begin in either
June or July, the national founda
tion said it hopes to select its first
group of scholarship recipients in
time for enrollment at some of
these schools. Scholarships are
available to graduates of accredit
ed schools of nursing and colleges
offering a B.S. degree in physical
education, as well as to all men
and women who have the science
requirement.
Training Period
“Courses at approved schools
run for from nine to twelve
months,” explained Miss Catherine
Worthingham, director of technical
education for the foundation. “That
means it will be March, 1946, at
the earliest, before a new group
of qualified physical therapists will
be ready to serve discharged ser
vice men, victims of infantile pa
ralysis and other disabling dis
eases, those injured in industrial
accidents and all the others whose
recoveries depend in such large
part upon intensive and regular
physical therapy.
“The national foundation’s phys
ical therapy program covers the
period of the next three years. But
the sooner we can start students
with proper prerequisites on their
physical therapy training, the
sooner we shall begin to overcome
the present acute shortage of quali
fied physical therapists.”
Scholarships Available
The sum of $1,267,600 has been
set aside for student scholarships,
teaching fellowships, and general
development of the field of phys
ical therapy. Scholarships cover
tuition and books, when necessary,
maintenance and transportation to
the school. Candidates will be
isked to state their preference as
to schools, giving second and third
choices for use in the event the
school of first choice is filled to
capacity.
