In a short interim report mailed'to the more than sixty industrial, legal and civic figures throughout the state who make up the council, Britton I. Budd, chairman, reported that more than 2,500 young recruits were relieved of personal, financial and family worries during thd first two months of this year. These were the ones who wrote, or came personally, to the Council's office at 140 South Dearborn street, Chicago, to ask free help. Another 3,000 telephoned the office for assistance during the same period. Among the growing number of problems the Council has solved for the boys are dependency allotments, employment for dependents, enlistments, evictions, personal loans, and legal and medical aid. "With the number in our armed forces increasing daily, requests for aid are mounting sharply," Mr. Budd said. * Many of the Council members are veterans of the last war and they spoke from experience when they said that 'fight and work, not worry, will win this war.' They know that if a group of responsible citizens would take over the personal 'at home' worries of soldiers and sailors in World War II, our fighting men would do a better job. "Tliat's where the Council comes in. We are the 'someone else' who does the worrying for pur boy& who hare a bigger job to do."

Woodstock citizens were shocked to learn of the sudden death on Monday evening, April 5, 1943, of Earnest W. Bates, one of Woodstock's most respected citizens and .well known throughout the county. Although only the garbage man, his services in the city were a business of no small proportions. He was one of the city's best citizens, honest, industrious, kindly of heart and always concerned for the welfare of the community. On Saturday afternoon, April 3, Miss Betty Jane Glos, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Glos of McHenry, became the bride of Mr. Harry Dorwell, also oi this city. The ceremony was performed at the Methodist church in Wauconda at 2 o'clock. Hie bride looked lovely, attired in a poudre blue suit with white accessories. Her corsage was of gardenias and she wbre a flowered hat. The maid of honor was Miss Agatha Schmitt, friend of the bride, who wore a gunmetal gray suit and shell pink accessories. Her corsage consisted of carnation^ and tearoses. Miss Stella Dowell, sister of the groom, served as bridesmaid, wearing a'British tan suit and blue accessories. She had a corsage similar to that of the maid of honor. Merle Dowell, cousin of the groom, acted as best man and Glenn Glos, brother of the bride, served as groomsman. The bride wup graduated from the local high school in 1942 and has been employed in Chicago. The groom is a graduate of the Wauconda high school and is employed at the Hoffman farms near Woodstock. , The young couple resides in one of the Schneider apartments ov^ River-< side Drive.- HEW field open to ^^ OBJECTORS WHO WISH TO SERVE COUMTRJ Conscientious objectors opposed only to combat service in the armed forces, if inducted, may now be assured that they will never be required to bear arms or be trained in their use, it was said last week by Col. Paul G. Armstrong, Illiqpis director of selective service. According to a recent announcement received from National Headquarters of Selective Service, sucn men will be assigned to either a medical replacement training center or a medical unit. Furthermore, Col. Armstrong stated that war department regulations now direct that such conscientious objectors will never be transferred to combat service except upon voluntary re* quest in writing to the commanding officer of the unit with which they are serving. MAU local selective service boards," Armstrong explained, "have been instructed to notify those registrants who might wish to serve their country, but becaufee of their particular belief, have felt unable to do so, may now be re-classified to Class 1-A-O and be inducted without the possibility of being called upon to bear arms. These men will be doing their part in the war effort by releasing some other physically fit soldier for combatant duty. 'It is believed that, under these circumstances, Class 1-A-O should meet the requirements of most men whose conscience and belief prevent them from engag&g in full military service where life might have to be taken. In the medical corps, their duty has to do with the saving and preservation of human life." SCH0LAMHIP8 FOB NtttuuEs TRAnmra W COURSES AVAILABLE - ik icholarship entitling the holder to a complete nurse training course in an accredited hospital school in Illinois has been made available to a high school graduate 18 yean or older in McHenry, or the nearby area, it was announced by the Illinois State Nurses association. It is possible, according to Miss June A. Ramsey, executive secretary, that one or more further scholarships will be available here in the campaign to enlist 5,000 student nurses in the 1943-44 school year starting June 1. In addition, scholarships provided by women's clubs,, service and patriotic organizations, will pay incidental expenses in nursing schools in ninetyseven hospitals in Illinois. Miss Ramsey said: "Nursing is one of the very few occupations which permit young women not only to perform a vitally needed service to their country, but also to learn a profession in which trained workers will be in high demand after the war. Nurses are needed now. A total of 84,000 student nurses must be enrolled in the coming year, largely to. replace the one out of every four graduate nurses who must be enlisted to make up the 01,000 needed in the Army and Navy Nurse corps by the end of 1943. • "The student nurse starts serving her country the day she enrolls, because she helps to release a trained nurse for other duties. The United States War Manpower commission recognized the need for trainees and has set up a tentative plan for a Student Nurse corps. ' Qualified high school graduates up to 35 years old who are interested in a nursing career are asked to write to the Illinois State- Nurses association, 8 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, for further information about the scholarship available in this com. munity and about the nursing profession and nursing schools. Financial inability is no longer a bar to the study of nursing. Haste is imperative, because the June enrollments must be filled quickly." Subscribe for The Plaindeaisr!
