‘Board Recommends War Job Centers

Times Special

m of community education on point rationing system will soon be inaugurated by branches of the American Association of University Women -throughout the country.

Basic material for the work was Ancluded in a general director's letter which was sent out here this week-end by the national head‘quarters of the A. A. U. W. The letter also reported the national board’s action on recruiting of womanpower; protection of the ‘home from disrupting social consequences of mobilizing women and high school students for war work; placing women in policy-making bodies in government, and having women doctors and lawyers admitted to the army and navy with pay and rank equal to men lawyers and doctors. A. A. U, W. members skilled in community education are urged to volunteer as leaders to explain point rationing in every community so that all consumers will know how to shop wisely when they are asked to use war ration book 2. - “Rationing is one way to win the war,” said Dr. Kathryn MecHale, general director of the association. ‘Understanding of rationing is a national need. Here is one of our major opportunities to participate in the war program.”

Board Action

Two actions of the recent national board meeting regarding recruiting of college-trained women for "specialized types of war work were Yeported to the organization. . 1. The board approved the request of the National Roster of Scientific and Specialized Personnel, war manpower commission, that all members of the A. A. U. W. be asked to register with the roster, ~ which now has listed 500,000 spe- ~ cially*trained Americans. Of these, 21,000 are women, of whom 8000 list themselves as concerned with

y . social welfare.

i “It is important for the national welfare that the roster should have listed in its files all women with specialized training,” Dr. McHale pointed out. a) 2. Setting up of A. A. U. W, war Job information and recruiting centers for college-trained women was recommended by the board. Two such centers already are successfully operating under A. A, U. W. leadership, one in New York, the other in Philadelphia. College-trained women are urgently needed as technicians in physics, metallurgy, meteorology, chemistry, technology, geology and _ various phases of engineering. Women are also desired for places _in radio, public administration, ecoBomics, and statistics. - These information centers on war jobs for college women will work in close co-operation with officials in industries employing scientifically trained and specialized people,

with nearby colleges and univer-

sities, and with the U. S. employment service and the U. S. civil service, referring women to refresher courses and additional training where necessary.

Consider 4-Hour Shift

The board favored an investigation of the possibilities of the 4hour shift for women who wish to work in war industries in addition to full-time home management, and for high school students who would do war jobs in addition to full-time compulsory school attendance. Approval was given to the high school victory corps program as an . opportunity to give young people real responsibility for community work, such as agriculture, food processing, industrial services, ~ home nursing and day care for children. ‘ The statement adopted Included #& warning that these activities should be “supervised educational experience” for which the school is responsible, The policy of appointing qualified women to government advisory boards was endorsed, and the general director was instructed to exert the influence of the association toward that end. With approval of the national board, the association’s committee on the economic and legal status of women will stand back.of women doctors in their fight for admission to the army and navy medical reserve corps, and back of women lawyers in their campaign for appointment in the Judge Advocate ~ General's offices of the army and navy—with pay and rank equal to that of men doctors and lawyers in the armed services.

Inexpensive Blocks Used in Many Ways

A shimmering, gleaming flower vase with a dozen other uses is the first surprise of this year's early Christmas shoping season. The handsome holder is a regular

cut in its square face. Stood on its base—like a proper flower vase— it makes a flattering flower setting for an occasional table or centerpiece. Stood on its side, however, with cut flowers or potted plant peeking out from its round “window,” it will set off any mantlepiece, or make a brightly new kind of flowering bookend or doorstop. This block of glass vase costs about $1.50, but has a luxury look. Its shining ridged sides catch and reflect the light like crystal, but they are heavy and strong enough to stand hard knocks. Several other block-of-glass vases are also blossoming out on the counters of department stores throughout the country. Some are broad, shallow trays in several sizes in which flowers can be floated or stood upright. Their sleek, modern lines permit many unusual floral arrangements. Flowers can be grouped in the trays for example so that they completely conceal the holder to give the novel impression of resting right on the table. The smallest of these costs only about 30 cents,

A glass block filled with ivy makes an interesting doorstop.

Another has a delicately arched base that brings to mind an old Chinese bridge captured in translucent glass. An upright block is the most conventional of them all, but it, too, has the light-catching richness of the others. It makes a versatile holder for bouquets and plants.

This curved glass block is used as a fruit dish.

They are made from the same glass blocks used in walls and partitions in so many modern homes, and one of their most interesting functions is the insertion of a block of glass vase into a glass block wall. It can then be filled with flowers or figurines adding a novel and colorful note to the room.

Story-a-Month Club To Hear Author

The Story-a-Month club will hear a talk by: Kate Gambold Dyer, author of “Turkey Trott and the Black Santa,” at a meeting at 7:30 p. m., Wednesday at Rauh Memgial library. Mrs. Dyers’ topic will be “Famous Last Sayings,” and she will discuss the problem of effective endings for the short story. She writes both Juvenile and adult fiction. Fiction market reports will be given by Mrs. Wilbur A. Elliott and Mrs. Ralph Bidgood.

In one sense, you're perfectly right in assuming that since the Africa there might be more cocoa, bananas, oils and other African

African products will be brought to the United States.

They'll be used on the spot for allied troops. But that means less will have to be shipped from the United States to the troops

Most important of all, however, is that fact these Africanproduced foodstuffs will be used in great quantities for boosting the allied cause in occupied territories and feeding parts of starve ing Europe. So, when you read that the Ivory Coast produced 50,000 tons of cocoa a year—or one-sixth of America’s annual consumption—and that peanut oil in North Africa was so plentiful that it was being used for motor oil by axis subs, you're right in assuming that allied occupation may indirectly relieve the imminent cocoa scarcity and fats and oils shortage.

Sometimes Sallie gets tired of having her hair pulled. She wants to show Timmy that she loves him, so she kisses him ever so lightly on the top of the head. Perhaps Sallie would rather kiss his cute little hand, or his cheek. But she could tell you that that is the way a baby can catch a cold or any other disease she might be carrying. Baby toys are still fun for Sallie, even though she is six. She jingles Tim’s rattle—not too close to his eyes—and makes his rubber dog squeak for him, all with great glee, : 8 8 8 THEN SHE HAS an idea. She runs to get a present for, Timmy— some old toys of her own. There’s a celluloid duck that rattles and a battered wooden elephant. Timmy does what he does with all toys— he tries to put them in his mouth. While Timmy is busy chewing on the duck, Sallie tiptoes away. He looks around. Where is Sallie? “Timmy, Timmy,” comes her voice. Where can she be? He looks high and low, and round and round. And there she is—under the sofa!

I think he likes her especially well because she seems to know how to play with a 5-month-old baby. Take the times when Timothy and his mother pay Sallie a visit. Before we get a chance to knock at the door, Sallie has rushed off to wash her hands even though they may look as clean as a whistle.
