An Urgent Call
With the tempo of war mounting before the coupe
de grace is given to Germany and the final blow at
the Japanese homeland is dealt, casualties are .mount
ing by leaps and bounds. According to the law of
averages we must expect more and more losses from
our own Jackson county ooys on tne Dattieiront.
Thus, the critical shortage of army nurses and'
medical and surgical technicians really hits home.
It's a prettv serious matter and something must be
done at once to remedy the deplorable situation in
army hospitals, here and
THE surgeon general of the European theatre tells
us that 11 general U. S. army hospitals have re
cently arrived in that war zone without a single
nurse. At this moment every army nurse here at home
must handle 26 hospital beds almost twice as many
beds as any one person is efficiently able to handle.
And 30,000 wounded men'
overseas to army general
each month.
THE only solution is for more and more army nurses
to volunteer at once and their professional ef
ficiency stretched to the limit with new WAC medi
cal technicians. These WACs, after intensive instruc
tion, can aid doctors and nurses in the general care
of wounded can administer blood transfusions,
serve as ward masters, deliver meals of injured men
and feed those who are helpless, and keep essential
records which are important to their present progress
and future protection.
PIGHT thousand of these WACs are needed at once,
and Jackson county's quota is only three. Who
will step forth to answer this patriotic and humani
tarian call?
Of all the needs of the country today this is amoner
the most urgent and never
more clearly defined, more

jTAST month Oregon failed to ship a single carload
" of tin the first time we have failed to furnish
at least some of this precious wartime material for
reclaiming. It seems both paradoxical and regrettable
at a time when demands for war materials are at

of the critical need for an ample supply of tin for
waging war. We prefer to accept the latter and point
out these facts:
Ninety per cent of our former tin suddIv came from
the Malay States, captured by the Japs early in the
war. They still hold this principal source and we
simply cannot set aside the drive at the Japanese
nomesiana to re-conquer the Netherlands East Indies.
Reclaimed tin from cans must therefore meet urgent
wartime needs. The responsibility of housewives is

Housewives must consider their can openers as
"weapons of warf" and must realize that they are ren
dering a patriotic and essential service to the war
effort in saving every single tin can that comes into
the kitchen.
117ASTE PAPER, too, should be carefully saved
" " for another salvage campaign later this year.
We might point out that this salvaged paper does
NOT go into news print but instead is ground into
pulp, the ink extracted, and that pulp is converted
into cartons for the shipment of war materials over
seas. Paper saving does not directly help the news
papers but it DOES speed the shipment of needed
war materials to every battle front. H. G. .

Pvt. Weber has shown his loy

This Is the spirit of martyrdom.
If Pvt. Weber goes down via

America cannot afford to lose
