Times Special LONDON, March 23.—In a rural area of southwest England, village housewives are receiving - heavy, mysterious parcels along ‘with their milk and bread. The packages contain pieces of metal, springs, screws and other oddments which will eventually form part of electrical equipment of “vital importance to | the war effort. The women assemble the parts at home in their own time and return the job to the factory through the village distributing depot, thereby saving many hours’ labor for fulltime operators.

Through it, 4000 hours a week— equivalent to the work of 80 fulltime employees on a 50-hour week —are saved. Only the heavy parcels are distributed to the farms and cottages in the baker's van and the milkman’s cart.

Beauty— Home Facials

By ALICIA HART Times Special Writer THE NEXT FEW weeks is the time to put your winter skin in con dition for the rigors, and the lovely pastel colored clothes, of another wartime spring. Danger zones which deserve real attention are the mouth area, the spot between the brows just above the nose, around the eyes, and the inner part of the cheeks near -the nose. These are the places where lines tend to deepen during winter months. You can do this easily by means of home facials. If you have lines which you know very well you didn’t have last: fall, get a jar of good night cream and massage it into your fe and throat before. going fo

Health— Changes Noted In Reaction To War

Dr. Lauretta Bender, of Bellevue hospital, New York, told members of the American Orthopsychiatric association that she had not observed any marked anxieties or increased aggression directly as a result of the war in the children coming to her as patients. During the last few months, specifically in December, 1942, .and January of this year, she noted some changes in the child's psychological reaction. For those in New York city, at least, threats against the family, such as air raids and bombings, have not materialized and the children have given up whatever concern the war may have caused at first. : 2 8 8 WHEN THE CHILDREN were
