PAGE SIX MORE SPEEDY TRAINING OF NURSES IS URGENT NEED Shortening the period for the pre- paration of nurses is strongly urged 48 & war measure in a letter being sent to the 1,300 accredited schools of aursing throughout the country by the Health and Medical Committee and the sub-committee on nursing, according to Paul V. McNutt, Direc- tor of the Office of Defense Health | and Welfare Services. The letter sta- | tes that “such streamlining of nurs- | ng education is considered a war ne- | cessity and is in harmony with sim- llar developments in other forts to specific war needs.” “The unprecendented demand for nurses for the military forces and for expanding civilian forces, makes it imperative that student nurses be pre- pared in the shortest time consistent with sound professional standards,” Mr. McNutt said. “Their services as graduate nurses will be needed in in- greasing numbers.” seem ining RESTRICTIONS LIFTED.

Fill Labor Gaps | Sources From Which to Draw WASHINGTON. — To obtain the 10,000,000 persons who must be add- ed to the country’s labor force as it stood in March, 1940, when the lat- est decennial census was taken, the country must depend predominantly on relatively inexperienced persons who will need training for the many types of war jobs that must be filled, the census bureau states. The 1940 census showed, according to the statement, that the great ma- jority of persons potentially availa- ble for employment were house- wives and youths living at home, few of whom had had any training. This class will have to supply 8,000,- 000 of the additional workers ex- pected to be needed by December next year, the report said, as the normal increase in the labor force due to population growth since 1940 is expected to provide only 2,000 workers. Stress Urban Sources. “The persons wiio can be most easily drawn into war jobs,” the bu- reau said, ‘‘arq those who live in the urban centers where war pro- duction is concegtrated, and in near- by rural non-afrm gommunities. The 3,200,000 rural-farin wives of 18 to 44 years old who were potentially available for en;ployment are =z group especially difficult to bring into the labor force, except for part. time or seasonal farm work.” Of the remaining groups from which the new workers must be drawn, the 1940 census showed that eight of every ten men who were potentially available for employ- ment had no usual occupation, or failed to report it if they did have. The same thing was true of nine of every ten women potentially avail- able for employment. Moreover, many of the unem- ployed who did report having worked previously listed themselves as un- skilled laborers or domestic serv- ants, jobs described by the census bureau as giving little training for the types of jobs that most urgently need to be filled. ! The conclusion reached by the bu- reau was that the additional work- ers would have to be drawn princi- pally from young housewives, that is, from the 14,100,000 wives be- tween 18 and 44 at the time of the 1940 census who were not then work- ing outside their homes. A consid- erable number also can be obtained, the bureau added, from the 3,300, 000 women between 18 and 44 living with their parents or relatives, nuost of whom were unmarried daughters living at home. In addition the 1940 census found about 1,500 000 unemployed men be- tween 18 and 64 living in the homes of others who were potentially avail- able for employment. The “most important” labor sup- | report sai), were 1,400,000 males more than 18, and principally be- tween 18 and 24, who were not work- ing because most of them were in school or college. The report quali- fied this statement, however, by pointing out that a large part of this group had already been taken into the armed forces. It added that the remainder probably could be count- jobs. Bible Printing Plates Yield Precious Scrap NEW YORK.—The American Bi- ble society will scrap plates for 10 English Bibles, one Old Testament, five New Testaments and 32 gospel portions and 33 foreign language re- ligious books—a collection of war- scarce metal weighing over 20 tons —to help the war effort. Bible society officials said the plates, copper halftones, metal type and slugs would help answer the call for copper, lead and zinc need- ed in specialized war manufacturing. The foreign language books in- cluded Bulu, Bulgarian, Danish, French, Grebo, Muskogee, Navaho, Norwegian, Ponape, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish and Welsh.
