The Greatest Mother
Somewhere, on some distant battlefield, an
American soldier will be wounded in action
today. He may be your son. Or the laujrhinj,'
tow-headed kid that only yesterday lived in a
house down the street. Remember?
Strong but tender hands will carry him
back to an Army dressing station. A blood
transfusion may be required to save bis life
blood contributed to the American Ued Cross
by thousands of Americans back home.
He will be brought, to a base hospital where
Army nurses, recruited by the American Ked
Cross, will dress his wounds. Sympathetic
JJed Cross workers will advise his family of
his progress, ;ind. as he convalesces, other Ked
Cross workers will help speed his rccoverv.
Somewhere louinht an American boy is
longing for home. He may be in bomb-scarred
London- in far-off Australia, in a Pacific is
land jungle, or on a North African desert.
Hut his heart an. I his mind will be back in
the States, at the home fireside. He will long
to pat the head of that frisky pup; to laugh
again with the girl who awaits his return; to
live ihe life of a civilized man.
If he can, he will go to the American Red
Cross club. It won't be the home for which
he longs. It will be only a substitute -an anti
dote for loneliness, but there he will find n
vai in welcome, an American style meal, a com
fortable bed. He mav sit down to write a let
ter to the folks back home. He will find enter
lainment to relieve his mind of the thoughts
that pass through the minds of homesick men.
He may be at some distant outpost, far re
moved from the Red Cross club. But tonight,
or the next night, the Red Cross will come to
him, bringing with it relief from the bore'dom
and horror (,f war.
t
Somewhere, today, an American service
man needs help. He may be at a distant do
mesne, cam) or hase, on a ship at sea. in an
unfriendly prison camp. Jle mav be almost
anywhere.
Wherever he is, there also is the American
Red Cross, offering him its many resources.
Whether his problem is personal, physical,
mental or financial, the Red Cross stand
ready to assist him and his family, liven the
barbed wire enclosures of prison camps are no
barrier to ihe Red Cross. Through its affilia
tion with the International Red Cross Commit
tee, it bleaches all hatreds to bring food, ar
ticles of comfort, and to re-establish Ihe line
of communication between the military pris
oner and his loved ones at home.
At the disposal of every American service
man are Red Cross field directors in the war
from, home service workers in the local chap
ters and millions of volunteers.
Thus, the Red Cross serves the serviceman.
Won't you help, too?
Dr. Francis J. Brown, consultant
to the American Council on Ed
ucation reported this week that
next year's freshmen classes in
some colleges would probably in
clude a larger number of 17 year
old boys and girls who have not
finished high school.
A few colleges have accepted
high school juniors for some time,
Dr. Brown said, giving the Uni
versity of North Carolina as an
example. Last year over 300 high
school juniors were tested at
North Carolina, and 140 of them
were admitted to the freshman
calss.
Navy Plan One Cause.
The increased number of non-
graduate high school students in
freshman classes will reflect a
liberalization and expansion" of
this policy in colleges which al
ready practice it, Dr. Brown
pointed out, rather than accept
ance of the policy by colleges
which have resisted it to date. The
navy's refusal to accept men in
its V-l program unless they have
a high school certificate is a set
back to larger college enrollment
of 17 year olds.
Dr. Brown predicted that stu
dents who will make up the rest
of next year's college group will
fall into the following categories:
1. Women particularly fresh-
menand sophomores. Among jun
iors and seniors there will be a
sharp enrollment drop except
among those women studying
nursing, engineering, physics and
other subjects necessary to the
war effort.
2. Men not physically fit for the
armed services. In proportion to
the country as a whole, however,
college men have a good physical
record, Dr. Brown pointed out. Se
lective Service figures show that
only 15 percent of college men
were physically unfit in the first
draft, due mostly to bad eyes. This
figure compares favorably with
the 40 percent of 18 and 19 year
olds thruout the country that Man
power Director McNtitt reports
will probably be found unfit for
military service.
J. Pre-proresHionul and profes
sional groups given occupational
deferment, such as medical stu
dents.
4. Students in contract training
under industry. This includes such
groups as the Curtiss-Wright
trainees, the group that RCA will
have in training by April, and the
women the Bought Sikorsky air
craft manufacturers plan to send
to college.
5. Men and women who are tak
ing extension coures while work
ing industry.
6. Men and women in uniform
under the army and navy spe
cialized training programs.
To accommodate these varied
groups of students, Dr. Brown re
ported, the larger colleges will be
forced to operate on as many as
three different schedules quarter
periods for the army, semester pe
riods ofr the navy, and their regu
lar schedule for their civilian students.
The Woman's college of the Uni
versity of North Carolina is mak
ing a survey of 6.000 of its alum
nae to find out "how they're doing."

graduate credit for your work at the Bureau, you'll earn a
weekly income in a Pitttburgh department store, you'll be
making a definite contribution to civilian wartime morale at
