New Americans, eager to help our country, are being provided
with training for war jobs by the National Refugee Service, which
is participating with the Joint Distribution Committee and the
United Palestine Appeal in the 1942 United Jewish Appeal for
Refugees, Overseas Needs and Palestine. Thousands of machi•
lets are needed, and at the left is shown one of the many refugees
who are preparing to man American production lines. Another
great shortage is in nursing, and the NRS is helping to fill the
gap as shown in the picture above, taken in a practical nursing
class for refugee women.
To let human machinery wear out from lock of attention
is as costly and unpatriotic as sabotage! Take ''time-our
for a 'tune-up' that will give you new efficiency, in-
creased vigor ... do it BEFORE you're worn too much
for repair. It pays!
