On CPT Program
—
As a part of the National De
fense Program, the Governin' nt
months ago began preparation to
meet an anticipated need for an
unusually large number of nurs
es, both in its military and civil
rvircs. The United States Civil
S rvice Commission has announc
ed open continuous examinations
to secure nurses, but despite
these examinations, there is a
continuing acute shortage of nurs
cs for the civil service positions.
Th shortage is particularly no
ticcable with respect to some
parts of the country. From some
of the States, very few nurses
apply for the civil service ex
aminations.
From all parts of the country,
floods of inquiries are coming in
to Washington from worn n who
ask how they can serve their
country in the present emerg ncy.
The word to nurses is that the
nursing branch of the service is
one that is vital to the success
of th National Defense Program.
The nurse examinations open the
way to an opportunity to render
patriotic service, and at the same
time to serve in interesting and
satisfying work. There is an op
portunity for advance nr nt, and
ho Government provides for re
irement for super-annuati-on or
disability.
A large staff of nurses is em
pl >ye.d regularly in the civil ser
vice principally in the U. S. fub
lie Health S rvice, the Indian
Service and the Veterans’ Admin
istration. They serve in hospitals
and other medical centers
throughout the United States and
in the Panama Canal Zone and
Alaska. Public health nurs s car
ry on field work of community
health care and education, giving
home care to the sick, class work
in home hygiene, etc., principal
ly in the Indian Service and the
' U. S. Public Health Service. In
th more remote regions these
nurses render first aid, and they
! even give medical treatment in
the absence of a doctor. There
has been an increased d mand
for public health nurses under
the U. S. Public Health Service
in extra-contonment zones and
I where large defense industries
; are located.
[ Two examinations are now
open for receipt of applications.
One—Announcement No. 38—un
der the title PUBLIC HEALTH
NURSE, $2,000 a year, and GRAD
uat? NURSE, $1,800 a year (for
general staff duty), is open for
the U. S. Public Health Service
and the Indian Service, includ
ing Alaska. This is an “unassembl
ed” examination: Applicants are
not given a written test but are
rated on th:‘ir professional train
ing and experience as shown in
their applications 'and by other
evidence. The other—Announce
ment No. 100—under the title of
JUNIOR GRADUATE NURSE,
$1,620 a year, is for the U. S.
Public Health Service, the Indian
Service, and the Veteran’s Ad
ministration. This examination
now includes a written test. It
is expected, however, that it will
be closed soon and reannouneed
as “ unassembled ” examination
The Civil Service Commission
does not expect to require a writ
ten test of persons who have al
ready filed their applications but
who have not been given the
test.
The need for nurses is immed
iate. Apply now for further in
formation at the office of the Sec
retary, Board of U. S. Civil &er
vice Examiners at any first or
second-class post office, or write
to the U. S. Civil Service Com
mission, Washington, D. C.

Indian Service Legislation

The Delegate introduced a bill.
H. R. 3540, to authorize th: trans
i portation to and from Alaska of
Government and non-Govem
ment freight and passengers on
Indian Service ships. The follow
in? quotations are given from
the statement given by the Of
fi ••• of Indian Affairs in support
of th measure:
“The purpose of the proposed
legislation is to legalize a ser
vicewhich is now being rendered
to Alaskan Natives and to Indian
Service employees in Alaska; to
noble funds received for such
service to be applied to the ex
i pense of operating the ships; and
to authorize the equalization of
charges to employees for the
transportation of their supplies
on Indian Service ships.
“At present there is no author
ity of law for the transportation
of non-Government freight and
non-Government employees on
these ships. However, many In
dian and Eskimo villages in Al
aska are not served by commer
cial vessels and the only way the
Natives of those villages, and cm
ployees stationed th-rein, can re ,
ceive supplies and materials from
the States is via the NORTH
STAR or the BOXER which are
operated under appropriations
made to the Office of Indian Af
fairs.

must be deposited in the Treas
ury to the credit of Miscellaneous

able for expenditures n ces
sarily incurred for the operation
of the ships.
“Under present conditions, be
cause of great differences in
freight costs due to varying dis
‘anc s and varying degrees of iso
lation, Indian Service employees
in Alaska do not receive equal
treatment. Although salaries are
standardized through the Terri
tory, the cost of living varies
greatly with th. location of the
employees. It is proposed to
make some adjustment of these
differences in living costs
through equalization of charges
to Indian Service employe s for
the transportation of their freight
on Indian Service ships.
"The enactment of this legisla
tion would be beneficial to the
efficient op ration of the ships
and would contribute to the well
being of the Indians and Eskimos
and the employees of the Indian
Service at isolated Alaskan sta
tions. It would also aid adminis
