ELECTRICITY... Turn off lights and home appliances when not needed. COMMUNICATIONS... Don't make unnecessary long distance phone calls. WATER... Repair leaky faucets... don't let water run needlessly. TRANSPORTATION... War traffic comes first... travel only when you must. Saving these services frees fuel, manpower, material and equipment for War.
Yes, telephone lines are heavily overloaded with wartime traffic right now--and new lines can't be built because copper and rubber and other materials are going into guns, shells, ships, tanks and planes.
Tying up the Axis gangsters! No new telephone lines--in spite of the wartime rush of calls. Sorry if your Long Distance calls are sometimes delayed, but we're sure you'll understand.
North Africa--U.S. Army nurses serve on land and sea and in the air, in many foreign climes. Above, two of them admire a necklace made by an aged native in North Africa. The nurses are Second Lieutenants Helen Hickley of Bradford, Pennsylvania, at left, and Florence Christman of Kregesville, Pennsylvania. Army nurses are stationed at every military base outside the United States. China--After a tour of duty in Assam, India, Lieutenants Carolyn Taylor (left) Douglaston, Long Island, New York, and La Retta Matthews, Lakeland, Florida, bargain for a rickshaw sight-seeing trip "somewhere in China." They are shown discussing route and fare while Chinese youngsters gape at the nurses and camera. Aided by Chinese nurses, members of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps are caring for wounded American troops in modern hospitals in Oriental settings. Aleutians--Fur-lined clothing and galoshes are worn by these two Army nurses, on duty in the Aleutians. Lieutenants Anna Ruth Hoover, left, and Winifred Zirkle, both of the Air Evacuation Command, wash some of the Aleutian mud off their galoshes before entering the picturesque Arctic hut, shown in the background. These Army nurses care for wounded soldiers at this "stop-over" of ambulance planes which evacuate casual-ties from the front. Army nurses see the world!
The President of the United States of America and the Prime Minister, Mr. Churchill, representing His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, being met together, deem it right to make known certain common principles in the national policies of their respective countries on which they base their hopes for a better future for the world.
