I War Emergency Is Met at Civic Center THE war emergency work that is being be-ing tarried on at the Civic Center is meeting with marked success. Local women are demonstrating their willingness willing-ness to be really and truly soldiers of Uncle Sam by complying with the federal fed-eral food and clothing regulations. This can best be accomplished by learning the best'approved methods of conservation, conserva-tion, whether it be of meats, of vegetables, vege-tables, of fruits, or of clothing. Lessons- in the best and the most economic methods of conservation are being conducted con-ducted free at the Civic Center. The saving of money by wholesale buying, buying in bulk individually or in groups; the best methods of home storage and many other practical lessons les-sons are also given. Materials for these comparative studies are being furnished through the courtesy of local merchants. Information on prices of sugar substitutes, substi-tutes, pickling salt and vinegar; also the methods of making vinegar at home, may be obtained by calling the Civic Center. Another project that is meeting with favor is the work in var emergency home nursing. The women are taking up the work for the sole purpose of better preparing themselves to lend a helping hand wherever home emergency nursing is needed. Many trained nurses have gone and more are go-: go-: ing to the front, so that it will be impossible im-possible to get sufficient trained service. ser-vice. The course is intended in a small wav to help meet this emergency. Vith the winter season nearing, with i its accompanying epidemics, and the returning re-turning of our wounded soldier boys, a large field in this particular service : will be open. It should be thoroughly understood, however, that persons tak- ing this course are under no obligation to accept work outside of' their t homes; nor will they be called by the government. No professional credit will be given for this work. The work at the Civic Center is be- ing conducted by Mrs. O. J. P. Widt- soe and Miss Leah P. Jennings.
