I T/.3 teSsphone you wont may be over Japan rcnTJjht The big fellows that ar# bombing Japan, the B-29’s—each carries a ton of telephone and other electronic equipments Raids using hundreds of B-29’s are common. That adds up! Yet you can multiply those tons by almost any figure you wish .. . and you still probably will miss by a mile the total of telephone equipment in the war. And until Japan is defeated, telephones, wire, switch* e boards and communications equipment of all kinds will have to go to the Pacific in great amounts. That’s why there just isn’t enough to go around. Even when that happy, day comes and our enemies are finally beaten, we won t be able to tell you how soon we can take care of the people waiting for service. All we can say is, it will be done as soon as possible.

Federal Security Agency, who ariimnisters the U. S. Cadet Nurse Corps, announced this week. The Negro students were included I among a total of 1,471 enrollees in ■ the last year. This marked the second | consecutive year that the U. S. Cadet < Nurse Corps had exceeded its re cruiting quota, Dr. Parran said. The quota for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1945, was 60,000. For the last six months of 1945 the annual juota will be the same as last year s. V Military and civilian nursing needs j will be reviewed by the Public Health Service late in the year to determine whether any changes in the student nurse quota are indicated in relation to the course of the war. As of May 31 last, there was a to tal of 4,128 Negro student nurses who were receiving free tuition under the Cadet Nurse Corps program. Of this number, 288 are now seniors in 25 schools of nursing admitting only Ne groes, and 506 are seniors in 14 other schools. Dr. Parran said that more than $12,000,000 has been donated in news and advertising space to the cadet nurse recruitment campaign by j industry, press, radio and screen. A j number of Negro newspapers have carried paid advertisements. This has been a major contribution to the suc cess of the drive, Dr. Parran said.
