Announcement that a total num-
ber of 921.25 hours was contributed
by 102 coed volunteer hospital work-
ers at both St. Joseph and Universityy
hospitals during the month of Febru-
ary was made yesterday by Soph?
Project.
Thlerecord shows a considerable
decrease from those of previous
months. "The totals are not good,
and even though the period included
final week, the total number of
hours as well as the number of voun-I
teers should have been much higher,"
commented Virginia Councell, chair-
man of the project.
Critical Shortage Continues
Miss Councell continued by re-
minding coeds that just because war
news is more encouraging, the situa-
tion in hospitals is in no way reliev-
ed. The nurse shortage will continue
to be critical until nurses return
from the battlefields.
Heading the list of volunteers is
Ruth Ellis with a total of 27.5 hours
of voluntary work. A total of 19
hours was amassed by Carolyn New-!
to participate in Soph Project, and
women who have worked before must
report to the volunteer office if they
wish to work this semester. All ap-
plicants for hospital volunteer work
should contact Mrs. Elizabeth McCoy,
or Mrs. Eleanor Peterson, in the vol-
unteer office on the third floor of
University Hospital before April 1.
No applications will be accepted aft-
er that date.

Ry FRANCES POPKINS
Life looks pretty black to the Am-
erican prisoner of war, but, as numn-
erous testimonies have proved, it's
not nearly as tough when he gets his
regular food packages and a "capture
package" provided by the American
Red Cross.
Without these comforts, many
American prisoners of war would
have starved to death or suffered
from exposure. In several letters
which Lt. Jack Duxnond, RCAF,
wrote to his parents, Prof. and
Mrs. Dwight L. Dumond, he said
that the Red Cross food was the
only nourishment he and his fellow
prisoners received when interned
in Germany. Lt. uanond has been
a prisoner of war since his plane
was shot down dujring the raid on
Brennen almost three years ago,
Lt. James T. Alling, son of Mrs. R.
S. Alling, chairman of the local Red
Cross Prisoner of War committee,
has written that the quality of the
food in the Red Cross food packages
is excellent. In his first letter home
from prison camp, he asked his moth-
er to support the Red Cross, because
it helped make his life bearable.
The "capture package" contains
things which the serviceman may
need when he is first captured. It
includes such necessities as heavy
clothes and underwear, soap, and
toilet articles. Food packages usu-
ally contain canned meat and
cheese. A Red Cross field director
inspects prison camps frequently
to see that conditions are in accord-
ante with international provisions
for treatment of prisoners.

To Attend Meeting
Volunteers who are interested in
selling war stamps in the JGP booths
are asked to attend a meeting to be
held at 3 p. in. tomorrow in the
League, according to Jean Hotch-
kins, JGP booth chairman.
Plans for opening another booth in
addition to the ones in the League
and in the Union are now being made.
Those attending the meeting may
make suggestions as to the location
of the new booth.
Women who sold stamps last se-
mester are not automatically signed
up for the new crew, but should at-
tend the meeting too. The room will
be posted.
Volunteers only have to work a
minimumn of one hour per week, but
this must be at a definite time. The
boths are open from 9 a.. n. to 4 p. in,
every week day,
~Rt't'

ticularly strong in spring suits are
the gabardine, collarless models that
permit the use of various neckline
accessories such as scarfs, flowers, and
jewelry . . . be careful to combine
with your suit born-at-the-same-time
accessories in order to attain the
perfection of the costume complete-
to which every detail innately be-
longs.
