Last Week’s Guess Who?
Was Nona Mae, Jerry Lee Robbins.
Bve now.
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. All
we can ask is, please be patient—which you are, thanks!

dents enrolled in schools of nursing j
during the last twelve months, Dr. i
Thomas Parran, Surgeon General or I
the Public Health Service. 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.
He also praised the many thou
sands of nurses and hospital adminis
trators who have worked as volunteer
recruiters in local and State a°liates
of the National Nursing Council for
War Service and the American Hos
