_ Florence Hall, newly appointed head| |

of the women’s division of the U. 8S. Crop corps. ; Recruiting * centers are to be ‘many small towns to enlist women volunteers for farm work, Miss Hall ‘said. Until the recruiting offices are opened volunteers may apply to their county farm agent or extension service office.

Will Have Uniforms

The uniform, designed by Miss Hall, consists of dark blue overalls and jacket, with light blue shirt, cap with light blue top and dark blue visor. For “dress” there will be a dark blue skirt to be worn with the shirt and jacket. Miss Hall has been extension field agent for 12 northeastern states since 1928. She is a graduate of the Michigan Agricultural college| and Columbia university. She is a native of Port Austin, Mich. Plans for the women’s land army, being developed by the extension service and the state agricultural colleges under the direction of the war food administration, call for a minimum’ of 10,000 year-round and 50,000 part-time women farm ‘ workers. we

Times Special Writer TORONTO, April 16.—“Make Em Last” is the typically terse wartime conversation slogan in the United States. Up here, since the wartime prices and trade board has officially sponsored a clothing conservation campaign, Canadian women are being urged to “Remake, remodel and revitalize.” Throughout the dominion, they are being shown what to do with that old tuxedo, evening dress, shirt or blanket that clutters up the closet. They are learning, at twice-daily showings of the “Re-

make Revue,” now touring the larger cities, practical ideas on how to make over into smart serviceable garments the old

clothes and other material they have discarded because of style. _- The government took this step toward conservation becausé of a growing material shortage in the dominion. While there is no prospect yet of such a shortage in the United States, the revue undoubtedly would interest Amer--ican women if only because it points to a weapon for gombatting the growing cost of living.

who heads the clothing conservation drive, points out: “It is surprising what you can do in the way of remaking old clothes, an art which women have always practiced, but have not needed so much in Canada in recent years. “We waste entirely too much clothing. Too much of it is left to hang forever in closets. People don’t seem to’ realize, that children’s skirts, dresse® and blouses can be made from the dresses and blouses of big sister, that snow suits can be made from old blankets, infants’ clothing from old flannel suits and shirts. This is the idea we want to put over.” The leading patternmakers of the United States and Canada, aided by textile manufacturers, have for the first time joined hands to develop patterns for this remodeling campaign. They have developed “42 different garments which can be made from old clothes and all patterns conform to Canadian style-freezing regulations. The first showing of remodeled clothes made from these wartime style patterns was at the “Remake Revue" held at Toronto last month. Following the well-attended demonstrations of what can be done in remaking old clothes, instruction centers are being set up in the larger cities to act as mod els of local instruction centers, operated by volunteers from woms en's organizations in every community. An illustrated booklet giving practical working patterns and full instructions is being given to Canadian women, so they can put into practice the examples seen at public showings. They will also get talks and demonstrations on how to care for and repair simple troubles on their sewing machines.

JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I live in a little settlement of small homes in a suburb near the city. All of the families are very good neighbors. We were all very happy out here until an old woman moved in the house next door. From the first she has found fault with | everything we do. I am the only one who has a phone and she has taken possession of it. + My husband and son are overseas and at times I feel blue over them, but I was peaceful before this serpent invaded our Eden. She has not bothered the other families yet, but just picks on me and my son and daughter. I do not speak to her because I want her to leave me alone. The result is that she does not use the phone any more. I have not had any words with her. I just took all of it because she is'an old woman, but it is wrecking my nerves." She has written letters to two papers out of town saying that all I write for them is copied and that we are all low down. The papers returned the letters and it made no difference to them as they know my work and know that .it is original. All of my neighbors are for me in this matter and say they will go to the landlord if it keeps on. My son and daughter want to tell her off, but I don’t want any words with her. This is the first time in my life that I ever met a person like her. I want to ask how you would handle the matter? VERY DISTURBED. ” ” 2 Answer—I think I would do as you have done and simply ignore

newspapers for which you write. Her

the woman. I not only would shut her out of my home but out of thoughts ! I would not other neighbors more than absolutely necessary or do anything to keep the trouble alive, but would try to live as if she didn’t exist, It is highly disagreeable to live next door to a mischief maker but she cannot do you any real harm as you have seen in the case of the

malicious intent is so obvious that no one would believe her even if she spoke the truth. If the woman's interference reached the point where she had to be “told off” I would not hesitate to do so nor would I restrain the young people if they felt impelled to speak their minds. However, I agree with you that it is best to avoid an ugly row. Usually such people thrive on rows. ' It gives them something to talk about, to distort, and to roll’ under their tongues. A complete silence and a firm rejection are much harder for the gossiper to deal with. JANE JORDAN,
