Shadow the Young Nurse Go On Daily Tour
Your nation is asking that 55,000 qualified students enter schools of nursing this year to replace those required by the military forces and to serve growing needs at home. Every college woman is probably wondering just where she can fit into the war effort. The question may be answered for many by the "Pre-Nursing Tours for College Women" that are being ar-
home-coming students. These tours permit inquiring students to "shadow" a student nurse for a half day to watch her work, and to accompany a visiting nurse on her rounds.
They are planned for the purpose of giving the students a first-hand contact with this war work with a future so that they may plan their second semester and later courses with a view toward nursing. The tours are being scheduled by local or state nursing councils for war service, or by schools of nursing cooperating with the National Nursing Council.
Any woman whose home is accessible to a school of nursing can undoubtedly get this "close-up" of the nursing profession. This committee is seeking to enroll 18,000 new students in spring classes in schools of nursing in order to meet the national quota of 55,000 for the school year, and if the war continues next year the figure must be increased to 65,000.
Credit resulting in shorter courses is now being given in mary schools of nursing to young women entering with two or more years of college. Federal and private scholarships are becoming available, to make it possible for any qualified young woman, regardless of her finances, to become a nurse. Such scholarships are administered by the individual school of nursing, to which application should be made.
Nursing is front line war work for women now, and the student nurse gives immediate war service by helping release graduate nurses to join the Army and Navy Nurse Corps. But unlike many of our vital war workers, there will be a continuing need for courses after the war, both here and abroad.
Inquiries, or requests for the tours, may go to the executive secretary of the state or local Nursing Council for War Service, or to the director of the nursing school in which the individual student is interested. However, if difficulty arises in reaching the correct person, letters may be addressed to the National Council office, 1790 Broadway, New York City.

Flying Yanks Smash Convoy Of Jap Troops
By International News Service
By International News Service American flyers in the southwestern Pacific embarked upon a field day of destruction today after locating a heavily armed Jap troop convoy on its way to New Guinea.
One of the heaviest sea and air battles recorded in this area raged without cessation 36 hours after the 10-ship enemy armada was sighted jammed with troops intended to reinforce the hard-pressed enemy detachment on new Guinea and possibly launch a counter-offensive against Gen. Douglas Mac-Arthur's troops.
Russian Troops Advancing Rapidly
Allies Bomb Jap Fleet
Late this evening, Australian time, it had been definitely established that two of the pack-jammed transports had been sunk by aerial bombs and the third badly damaged. One of the ships destroyed displaced 14,000 tons and was estimated to have carried between 1500 and 2000 troops.
Coincident with contingent Soviet successes in Russia, which carried Red troops to within 70 miles of the vital junction of Rostov and saw two Soviet columns come to within 40 miles of each other along the Volga, Allied bombing and fighting planes of every description went after the Japanese fleet, the most concerted offensive operation MacArthur's airmen have yet undertaken.
America's aerial offensive against the Japanese continued relentlessly today with the Navy reporting fresh bombing forays against Nipponese bases in the Aleutian Island area as well as in the Solomons. Weather prevented observation of results.
On the Soviet front, meanwhile, Russian troops were reported advancing at a rate of between 15 and 25 miles a day. Except for a few surrounded garrisons in hopeless posi-

British Kids Send Xmas Wire to Mix
The Save the Children committee at the University, which is charged with obtaining funds for the maintenance of the Jayhawk Nursery, University-sponsored project in England, received a cablegram yesterday from the nursery. The cablegram which extended belated holiday greetings to the University read as follows:
"Children at Foxhill send Christmas and New Year greetings to their benefactors' and friends at Kansas University of whom they are often reminded by the Jayhawk symbol. Supervisor, matron, and staff join in good wishes for 1943 and thank you for helping Birmingham children to have this happy home, peaceful country-side, away from alarms of war."
Dr. A. J. Mix, chairman of the local Save the Children committee, reports that the drive for funds for the nursery is gaining impetus. Total contributions so far amount to more than $470. with only a few townspeople and organized houses having reported. The first tabulation of returns from faculty members shows that 65 have contributed $325.
tions, a Moscow dispatch said. German troops had been cleared from the 20,000 square mile area embraced by the Don river bend.
In the Mediterranean theater, Allied bombing activities against Axis bases continued relentlessly. Heavy American bombers attacked Palermo in Sicily while other Allied planes raided the Tunisian port of Sousse and Tunis itself. Licata in Sicily also was bombed as was the small island of Lampedusa, between Sicily and Tunisia.

Elmer Beth Attends Urgent Conference
Prof. Elmer F. Beth, chairman of the department of journalism, left yesterday for Chicago to represent the University at an unexpected conference today and tomorrow of newspaper publishers and journalism school directors.
Training of women especially for these vacancies is to be taken up at the conference.
Professor Beth is expected to return Monday.
The conference has been called to consider the acute lack of available trained men and women to fill positions on newspapers throughout the country.
The Royal Air Force raided objectives in widely separated areas—the Ruhr valley of Germany for the third time this year, and the vital Burmese port of Akyab on the Bay of Bengal.
