Take a 13-year-old’s doll away,
give here a two-year-old to care
tor instead, and what have you?
Junior American Nurse thinks
you have three solutions to press
ing problems on''the home front
—juvenile delinquency, care for
the Children of war-working
mothers, and education for par
enthood.
In a model nursery school set
ttp in’ -New York, high school
girls ..-who1 • have Volunteered . to
study*child care after school
hours. with JAN instructors get
a chance to observe and partici
pate m the care of tots from two
to six*! classes are held right in
the hfgh schools, and a program
’of distussion keyed to high school
intelligence explains children to
the teen-agers in language they
can understand.
At the sunny nursery School,
home to 30-odd youngsters dur
ing the day wHen their mothers
ire Working in war plants, the
jtyqng? nurses assist trained child
’specialists. They learn to over
came. the impulse to try and do
‘everything for the*. <£wldren they
used te do for their dolls. They
teai*n Ho sit by quietly while a
blonde" three-year-old scrambles
into his cverallB, and offer as
sistaii^e only when a pesky but
ton proves too troublesome for

they come to the nursery school
explains child behavior to them,”
Mrs. Leonard Arkin, secretary
treasurer of JAN, explains. But
at the same time, it really helps
the girls understand themselves
and their home life. They learn
the fundamentals of homemaking
and good parentrood too. And
girls as busy and nappy as they
! are have no chance to drift into
delinquency in after-school
hours.’’
About 250 high school gMs
finished the JAN course last
year, and at the moment, the or
ganization has more requests for
after-school classes than it can
meet.
“We are having difficulty get
ting enough trained adults for
instructors,” Mrs. Dixie Love
Dean, founder of JAN, explains.
“These teen-age girls really want
to do something in the war ef
fort, and they seem to be one of
the few groups for which the
government hasn’t provided
some special activity.’’
JAN sponsors don’t consider
the group just a Wartime meas
ure. They look forward to the
time when there will be a place
in every community for young
girls to learn the principles of
stable, adequate home life and
good citizenship during the years
when they have no adult inhibi
tions and nothing to unlearn.
TY COBB WAS TOPS

ST, LOUIS — P) — Dr.
■Robert F. Hyland, who treats the
aches and bruises of IHe St
Louis Cardinals, says Ty Cobb
was one athlete who did not need
imagination to go with his all too
realistic ailments.
"I treated Cobb at the
height of his career,"’ the sur
geon recalls. “His body usually
was fairly covered with bruises
and abrasions, from "nis skull
down to his toes.
“You never see anything like
that today. Occasional ‘sliders’
and 'strawberries’, I’ll grant, but
riothing resembling the battered
condition of Cobb.”

LETTER TELLS
OF FUND DRIVE
FOR CRUISER
The following excerpt from
a letter written by Gov. Gruel
ing and sent to C.~ J. Reinseth,
Chairman of the Fairbanks com
mittee of the cruiser Alaska fund,
will be of interest to Nomeit^s
and those who are doing their
part to aid in the cause:
“In some communities the .dea
seems to be that a definite goal
of $10,000 has been fixed and
that this sum will be used to buy
a silver service for the “Alaska.”
This is not correct. No quota has
been established, nor is it intend
ed to fix one. Whatever money
is contributed, whether it be a
sum of several hundred dollars
from a corporation or a dime from
an individual, will be gateifully
received. Governor Gruemng’s
idea is that we should get away
from the traditional silver service
gift. He has tentatively suggest
ed that the ward rooms on the
cruiser might be presented with
objects more typical of Alaska,
such as paintings, bearskin rugs,
and other similarly distinctive
presents which would serve as
constant reminders of the source
of the gift. A Sidney Laurence
painting, for instance, would give
more constant pleasure to the of
ficers and men on the Alaska
that would a silver service.
“As 1 understand it, no mat
ter what the gift might be, it
could not be taken aboard the
Alaska during war time. Nor
j would it be desirable on our part
to buy an expensive gift or gifts
now when every dollar is so ur
gently needed to aid in winning
the war. Accordingly, the gover
nor has suggested -that after the
campain has been completed, the
money be put into war bonds and
a presentation blade at the time
. • AX*:A. m
the Alaska is commissioned. Then
after the war has ended, a repre
sentative committee appointed by
the governor will choose the gift
or gifts.
“Thus everyone wnc donates
now will be serving a dual pur
pose—he will be putting his mon
ey immediately to work in fur
therance of the war effort and
he also will <be mak.hg it avail
able to aid in the purchase of a
gift for the Alaska ater on.’’
