Out West With the Turquoise Trail Girls and Prairie Trek Boys
OUT WEST where a group of Indianapolis boys and girls has headquarters at Cotton-Wood Gulch near Thoreau, N. M., the Prairie Trek Expedition is due in today for joint campfires, a picnic at Red Cliffe and a special “rodeo” with the Turquoise Trail Expedition before the 20 girls in the latter group set out on another field trip. They will head for Chaco Canyon, Mesa Verde
and the snow-covered peaks of Colorado. Both expeditions, which alternate base camps and share caravan equipment at Cotton-Wood Gulch, are contmissioned by the Children’s Museum here and are under the direction of Hillis Ii Howie. Turquoise Trail’s staff includes Miss Mary Anne Beaumont and Miss Vivian I. Ross of Indianapolis and Madame Adele Robert and Miss Andrea L. Ferguson, former Indianapolis residents. During the last two weeks at the camp site, four Indianapolis girls, Joan Boozer, Martha Ann Scott, Nancy Sewell and Susan Taylor, went on a two-day pack trip to Ojo Redondo in New Mexico. Carrying the standard pack saddle travelers’ menu of a ean each of beans, salmon and peaches, they went 15 miles by horseback, stopping at a fluorite mine and a deserted mining town en route. They were met by the commissary truck, which took them farther to a night camping spot where they slept on the ground in their sleeping bags. Joan Boozer helped repair a sluice way in a reservoir, which now serves as a welcome swimming hole, during the in-camp period. Susan Taylor, who was postmaster for the camp, worked with Narcisco Abeyta, the Navaio Indian artist who is helping the expeditions with art and silversmithing. Martha Ann Seott served as one of the foremen of details and was co-manager of a thriving trading post in eamp. While the group was at Frijoles Canyon early in July, Nancy Sewell helped kill a black-tailed rattler at Bandelier National Montment, skinned it herself and has fashioned it into a belt as a souvenir of the experience.
Donald Jamesons Visited Camp
INDIANAPOLIS VISITORS who have stopped in at the 440acre camp site in the Zuni Mountains during their travels include the Donald Jamesen family. Miss Mary Vance Trent of St. Louis. formerly of Indianapolis and now visiting here to attend Miss Flor-
i
Davis-Brooks
ence Gipes wedding tomorrow night, was another July visitor.
The camp adjoins the Navajo reservation, which recently sent | Dinay Bitsoe Chiley, the native moccasin maker, to help campers with handicraft. He was the original for the statue modeled by Malvina Hoffman and now on exhibit in the Field Muséum in Chicago. The Turquoise Trail had its first trip out of camp shortly after arriving July 9. Setting out in three station ns, the campers were followed by = truck to carry the cots, duffle bags, shoulder packs and commissary supplies. After three days at Mt. Taylor, an extinct volcanic crater, where they watched sheep shearing and cattle branding, ate cowboy food and listened to cowboy songs at campfires, they went on to camp at the foot of the Enchanted Mesa. Plans to visit the Acoma Indian pueblo were hindered by the natives’ secret ceremonidls at which guests were not permitted. Wrtile visiting Santa Fe, the girls camped in the beautiful Sangre de Criste Mountains, spending several days seeing museums, archaeological laboratories, the Indian School, McCrossen’s Weavers and the shops. At Frijoles Canyon they saw the ruins of ancient Indian dwellings, inspected kivas discovered by Gen. Adolph Bandelier and heard the rangers’ stories of Navajo history and legends.

Jobs in the Defense Industries
By ROSEMARY REDDING
Welding is a man’s job if there ever was one. Yet remove the mask from the face of a welder in the metal shop al 337 N. Capitol Ave. and lo, you'll find a girl! She is only one of nearly a hundred girls at work there. Girls operating milling machines, assembling radios, running metal shapers —all are young women preparing for defense work. | Many more throughout Indiana) land the nation, too, are receiving similar instruction. All are adding to the reservoir of young women with actual work experience who can take over in defense industries when needed. Their training is a part of the restyled program of the National Youth Administration of Indiana, which is placing emphasis on what Washington has designated as a shortage of machine operators. Although the NYA has been sponsoring schools of instruction for al« most a year and a half the metal shop, opened only recently, is the first big step toward actual machine shop experience, There, three shifts, two of young men and one of woms en, are operating on a 24-hour basis. .
A BUFFET SUPPER will be given tonight by Mr. and Mrs James C. Gipe for their daughter Florence and Erwin Krahn of Milwaukee, who will be married tomorrow evening in the garden of the Gipe home on Spring Mill Road. The rehearsal will follow. Covers will be laid for Ervin Krahn, also of Milwaukee, father of the bridegroom-to-be; the Rev. C. A. McPheeters, who will read the marriage service, and Mrs. McPheeters; Mrs. Chester William Beaman, who will be her cousin's matron of honor; Miss Mary Vance Trent of 8t. Louis and Miss Mildred Krahn of Milwaukee, bridesmaids; James Francis Gipe and Arthur Baxter Gipe, brothers of the bride-to-be, and Milton Padway of Milwaukee, an usher,
JANE JORDAN
DEAR JANE JORDAN—My trouble isn’t very serious but I am afraid it will develop into something if it isn’t stopped somehow. I am 17 and in the third year of high scheol. I have gone steady with a bov for two vears, but he and mother don’t get along at all. He never has said anything to her when she bawls him out, which is often, We intend to get married when I finish school. I think I know what the trouble is. My boy friend is terribly jealous. My mother married a jealous man and it never lasted. She got a divorce and just got married again recently. Now she is happier than I have ever seen her. Everyone tells me that I am too geod a girl for this boy and that it won't work, but I can't give him up. I love him too much, His mother and I get along perfectly and he tells everyone he hopes he'll learn to be good enough to marry me some day. He brags on me to everyone an dwe get along better all the time. We don't care what people say but it hurts me for mother to nag at me. Please help me. WORRIED MIND.

Answer-—Tel] your mother not to worry so much, It will be a full year or more before you are able to marry and if you and the boy are unsuited to each other you'll have time enough to find it out. One of the chief fears that parents have is that the children will repeat the parent's mistakes. They are acutely aware of all the storm signals and when they see a child walk calmly into a situa-

tion without anticipating trouble, they feel duty-bound to warn them, The trouble is that they de not stop with one strong warning but go on ad infinitum until it amounts to nagging. Do not close your mind to your mother’s objections. What if she were right after all? Don’t let your irritation with her obscure the facts. The young man’s jealousy may be flattering to you now but you wil] fing it a cause of grief in marriage just as your mother did before you. Let this fact give you patience. It is the young man’s feeling of inferiority that makes him jealous. He has insufficient faith in himself. The fact that you occupy the superior position and the young man hopes to be good enough to marry you is a happier situation for you than for him. Unless he is able to win the superior position and you are satisfied with second place, he may take out his disappointment in himself en you. It is true thay parents aren't infallible in their judgmen: and are not competent to pick out partners for their children. Nevertheless, they do have a background of experience from which the chiidreny can learn if they have the wisdom to do so. JANE JORDAN.

intensified study of their work is made. The girls are rotated through the various jobs in the shop so that they get the general idea. Then they are aliowed to concentrate on the job they like best. For this they draw $25 a month. But the pay really comes in the training. The girls think so too, judging from the long waiting list. The majority of the jobs are ones which traditionally have been held by men. But the supervisors are high in their praise of the girls’ aptitude and say the young women often “best” the young men on certain jobs.

Health would like some steel incubators for babies. The NYA wanls work with which to train its enrollees. The material is supplied by the State and the NYA furnishes the work. The girls will begin work soon on gun racks for Ft. Harrison. A group of experienced supervisors is in charge of the production courses. After lunch, the girls attend classes where they learn more about their work and allied subjects. They are even taught shop mathematics and how to read blueprints. The instructors are teachers hired by the State Department of Vocational Education. These very classes were the forerunners of the present work experience courses. They were begun about a year and a half ago and until recently were taught in! the schools. : One of 31 Projects The local shop is one of 31 defense projects under the NYA supervision in the state. Other large metal shops are in operation in 10 othér cities. Besides this metal shop work, girls are trained in power sewing machine and clerical work projects. - David Thompson, research assistant in the State office, said 3500 young people are employed in defense projects in the State now. The turnover is amazing. He estimates that in the first six months of the year, about 8000 were employed and that out of that group about 6000 found employment in industry, In speaking of the metal shop work, he said: “We haven't scratched the surface vet in the training of young women in machine shop work. .
