Because of the larger number of men in the anmed forces, Mys. Baker expects this work to Im> even greater than after the last war. and and she is appealing to all eligible women to join the auxiliary now to help protect those who sacrifice the most for victory. The Legion Auxiliary 43 Unit is now enrolling members for 1945, with a special invitation to wotirn newly eligible ihrougli completed service of men of their familfe*-in World War 11. “Our government always has sought to give just compensation to its disabled. veterans and families left dependent by war, but this justice does not always come automatically,” said Mrs. Baker. “Safeguards must necessarily surround the expenditure of public funds and often the veteran olf the family must have capable aid in proving claims. The Legion and auxiliary are ready to give this aid. us they did so effevteively ifor veterans of the first World War.” MEETING OF W. F.IM. S. IS HELD THURSDAY The W. F. M. S. of the Church of the Nazarene met Thursday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Orvai Sudduth. The meeting was opened by group singing. “God Leads us Along."

MM WHMIr L Mb sHB Left, block and white dotted crepe; center, black sheer crepe, turquoise trim; right, black and white print. r Just how little yardage has to do with the rightness of a dress has been demonstrated by New York's topflight designers. They have proved that softness of the silhouette is more a matter of ingenuity than of fabric. Emphasis on the upper half of a costume as a means of giving freedom to the silhouette shares honors this spring with emphasis on the midriff and flexibility of skirts in the collection of Brownie of Foxbrownie. The dolman type sleeve gives the freedom of line in the black and white dotted crepe print, left. It has a circular skirt which balances the released effect of the bodice. 'Ria wide midriff band gives the small-waistline-look to the frock shown center, plus the petal neckline, which gives softness to a narrow silhouette. This black sheer crepe dress has turquoise faille trim. The simple black and white print, pictured right above, has clusters of small bows just below' eacn hip and again on the outer edge of the short, loose sleeves.
