She also has requested each club to appoint a child welfare chairman to recruit women to take care of children during the day while younger women work on farms. A third point in the program she outlines calls for the sponsorship of club victory gardens where members may work at least one day each week. She also has asked that an agriculture or food chairman be appointed by each club. . Canning Classes Asked - The inauguration of food canning classes in, every 'club-using club-
classes, ' securing - teachers: from nearby universities and inviting non-club members to attend—is another point in' the program Mrs. Whitehurst outlines. . She also suggests that: clubwomen do their. home canning in the club centers as club projects and that surplus “foods ‘bé canned for distribution ‘where needed next winter. “The lack of certain food elements}, will have a deleterious effect on the health and thinking of fighting men and people at home,” says Mrs.
! Whitehurst, “therefore the food cam-
paign must be facilitated by the millions of women who are not yet utilizing their greatest effort for the war program.”
A total of $55.470.90 in funds for Siogant nurse = scholarships was raised by the G. F. W. C, in four months of its campaign for scholarships.

To help deserving girls and to encourage. enrollment, clubs are offering $250 gift scholarships which may be used for: tuition, books Or necessary personal expenses of the student nurse. The funds are administered by the state federations and are sent back to the local school of nursing at which the student, selected by the club, matriculates.
A Lesson in Poise, Charm
MADAME Chiang Kai-shek, the illustrious Oriental, has a lot to teach us. Occidentals about charm. She stepped gracefully, smilingly, into a press conference recently and in a few minutes everybody who had come to see an important person of world politics was admiring the woman she is, too, She has a lot of natural physical charm-—uses cosmetics and clothes as flares to illuminate it. While she was still in the hospital, madame availed herself of the service of a Fifth Ave. salon. Her

I WISH WE could mix some gumption with economic planning in Washington. The need for a housewife's brain in federal bureaus was
never more plain. Any group of sensible women out of the kitchens of the country, with some authority to act, would do wonders for us. ; Can you imagine them letting such conditions as the following begin in the first place, much less continue? Tne American people are asked to plant Victory gardens—but production of garden tools is limited and you can’t buy them now in many average-sized cities. Suburbanites and farmers are told to raise more POUIEY bb chicken wire is practically nil
Housewives must plan more can-
ning this summer—but canning kettles are not for sale and merchants can give no assurance of another supply. ‘Hundreds of manufacturing concerns now use glass containers instead of tin, but with few exceptions the tops of them do not fit fruit

serving purposes, which is a tremendous waste. co” ” 2
IN SPITE OF the shortage of manpower, 45-year-old women are turned down in plants where help is badly needed. Glamour still takes precedence over efficiency in many war industries. ~ Although the need for production is pressing, physical handicaps which could be corrected with some planning keep thousands from work. I'm told that hearing devices which would help multitudes to be useful are so expensive as to cost and upkeep that many cannot. afford them. With new taxes and high living osts, millions of middle-class people who cherish their credit rating will not be able to provide themselves or their families with needed
