Red Cross Asks
for More Help
With the great responsibility
placed upon the American Red
Cross by the Army and INavy, there
is an increasingly urgent need for
additional personnel. The greatest
current demands are for women social workers, recreational workers,
and staff aides for military and
Naval hospitals in the states. These
are challenging jobs, not only by
their performance, but in obligation to the returning serviceman
who has made a great measure of
sacrifice.
In the determination to merit
constantly the Red Cross slogan, "at
his side," the American Red Cross,
in their present recruitment program, makes an appeal to college
graduates. -:
Anyone interested in this work is
urged to contact P. G. Lantz, director of the laboratory schools. He has
a detailed description of the various positions now open in this patriotic field.
The line at the cafeteria will be
closed that evening as the food
will be served by the union. In case
of rain the party will be transferred
to the college gymnasium and will
take place from 4:30 until 8, and
the dance will take place in the
Keeler Union ballroom.
