Mrs. - Molly Finney, Miss Edith Jenkins and Mrs. Charles W. McNeely (left to right) are among the feminine task force getting out membership letters for the new Indianapolis Diabetes
Association, Inc., Society of Lay Members.
By AGNES H. OSTROM THERE'S A DISTINCT woman's angle to the newly organizea Indianapolis Diabetes Association, Inc., Society of Lay Members. It concerns a handful of distaffers who some day can say, “I helped a diabetic like I helped promote interest of the general public in diabetics.” Furthermore, they have the added distinc-
tion of having been invited to help set in mo-,
tion the wheels of the non-profit organization. When Dr. John H. Warvel, president of the Indianapolis Diabetes Association Clinical Society (composed of physicians), called the pre-organization meetings last May, these women were asked ‘into the equally divided mixed group. Much of the credit for getting the lay society; affiliate of the Clinical Society, under way goes to them. 8 ” » COMPILING A MAILING LIST of prospective members, largely provided by the Clinical Society, addressing, stuffing and mailing over 2000. membership letters and cards isn’t on the list of “glamour jobs.” Nor is the task of running the errands incidental to publicizing a new idea. Working when and where they could—at home, in the YWCA, in Dr. Warvel's office— they have sandwiched time for this secretarial job between home, family and job responsibilities. Even friends have been inveigled into assisting. Moreover, they all hold important positions in the lay society. Mrs. Dan C. Hess of the diabetic detection committee is the only woman on the board of directors. Secretary is Mrs. Charles W. McNeely. Miss Edith Jenkins, membership chairman, is being assisted by Mrs. Susan Achenback, Greenwood.

Women
Red Blood for Red Cross: Giving It Is Painless
* Mrs. Roy Waggener, Rushville; Mrs. Bertha Grubbs, Greenwood, and Mrs. Leon Shiman are all serving on the American Diabetic Association Forecast committee, Forecast is the ADA publication for diabetics and the general public. One of Indiana’s best known diabetics, Mrs. Molly Finney, is another member of this hardworking task force. For some six years a resident of Methodist Hospital, she couldn't make the first meetings in person. But the position of corresponding secretary has left her little free time. Response from the first mailing less than two weeks ago with the announcement of. the initial meeting Thursday night in Methodist’s White Cross Building has been more than gratifying. Dr, E. Perry. McCullogh of the Cleveland Clinic will be guest speaker. In two days, Mrs. McNeely, to whom the cards are returned, received seven. Since then the day’s mail has averaged 10. People have offered their services, were “happy to attend,” “gladly enclose my dues,” even suggested speakers for future programs. ” = n
EDUCATION ON THE subject of diabetics is one of the primary objectives of the lay society. Recognized leaders will be presented at public meetings and forums to discuss treatment and research programs as well as diet and insulin, Even the matter of eating out presents a problem to the diabetic. Job restrictions often smack of discrimination. Because his food must be weighed and insulin taken regularly, a child can’t attend summer camps. These are juct some of the problems these women are working to solve.
And if the proposed national diabetic de-'
tention drive takes place in November, they will be leaders m the volunteeer force for Indiana.
~ Come Through Fog Ot Moving Chores
Luncheon at Woodstock Provides Guests And Models Chance to Wear Fall Styles
By KATY ATKINS
OUR FIRST Sunday in a house, 5356 Boulevard Place, after a year of apartment dwelling finds us acutely
conscious of both the pleasures and complications of having a house and yard again. The former far outweigh the latter but it is appalling how soft one gets with easy living. To me the week seems a blur of moving chores but a few things settle into focus. The Woodstock Club's luncheon bridgecanasta party Thursday was well attended and most rewarding to the winners who received hand-painted china cigaret lighters. Clothes to suit all purses were shown by Block's whose girls modeled selections from the couture collections. Mrs. Albert M. Campbell, who was in Mrs. Walton M. Wheeler's party, wore a black wool afternoon dress trimmed with a satin collar and girdle. Mrs. Henry C. Todd and Mrs.

Our Readers Write— Homemakers Want Halloween Ideas
ORW letters this week reflect the coming of Halloween. Homemakers want party ideas, and food sug-
gestions for the coming play day. There .also are answers for Mrs. George Turner, who requested a recipe for Welsh rarebit in last Sunday's column. Those not printed today are being sent to her. Food preparation and recipe queries bothering housewives will be answered in ORW. Simply address your card or letter to “OUR READERS WRITE, THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES.” Dear Our Readers Write: When I was a little girl, my mother made fresh doughnuts from her own recipe quite frequently. I think they were the cake variety. She used to spend the afternoon frying doughnuts, and I helped “dress” them by shaking the warm doughnuts in a sack of powdered sugar. Now I don’t know how she made them. Since I am giving a Halloween party soon for my Brownie troop, I'd like to serve homemade doughnuts with cider. Can some reader tell me how to make doughnuts the old-fashioned way? Mrs. L. G.
Halloween Treat Ideas? DEAR ORW: WOULD some of your readers give me some suggestions on the type of treat Halloween “trick or treaters” will enjoy? I can’t afford to give them money, but I would like some ideas on Inexpensive gift ideas that would be popular with the younger set. Td also like some fruit cake recipes to make for the holidays this year. It seems to me this is about the time of the year to Jake them. Mrs. A. B.
OUR READERS WRITE: Here is a tip on a different way to make popcorn balls. After molding the corn into balls, insert a stick in the

AX especially attractive black outfit was worn by Betsy Hutchings last Sunday at the party given for her and her fiance, Dick Fowler, by Dick's sister, Barbara, and Fred Anderson. She wore a black velvet dress and matching hat trimmed with jet, most complimentary to her fair skin and dark eyes and hair. Barbara chose a winter blue tunic dress that afternoon. Peggy Highmark was very smart in a dark suit with a fur-trimmed hat and a tippet.

Mrs. Paul Fesler, RN (left), and Dr. Harry Sacks attend Mrs. Martha Jean Reese, Red Cross blood donor.
By MRS. MARTHA JEAN REESE
I WAS PLENTY SCARED when 1 walked into the Blood Bank out at Veterans Hospital on Cold Spring Road. It was my first time there. I was going to give a pint of my blood. The American Red Cross had recruited me through Mrs. Marilynn M. Robertson who handles the donor program at the U. 8. Naval Ordnance Plant where I work. 1 wanted to give blood because of the increasing need for it at the Vets Hospital and at Billings since some of our wounded from Korea are being shipped here. " » o
IT WASN'T BAD at all. In fact, I hardly felt the needle when Dr, Harry Sacks stuck it into the vein in my right arm. He joked and told me to relax. And while my blood was

U. 8S. Naval Ordnance Plant, gave blood for Korean wounded. Here she tells her experiences at the American Red Cross Blood Donor Center, Veterans Hospital. .
coming out I didn’t notice it at all, and unclenched my fist when he told me to. As my blood was flowing by gravity into the jar, I watched the nurses and Red Cross aids as they worked with two other donors and Dr. Sacks told me about the bank. Only requirement for a donor is that he be in good health ‘and between 18 and 60, he -said. "And those planning to give blood shouldn't take fatty food for at least three hours before the donation. That's eliminating butter, bacon, milk and cream. All types of blood are needed. Only Type O is used as whole blood (and 49 per cent of the people have that type). The other types are needed for blood derivatives, especially plasma, which can be stored for possible disasters.
I clenched
I THOUGHT, while the doctor was talking, that it was a big joke on my friends who had told me gruesome stories about what was going to hapen. It was so simple. I felt well cared for and rather important from the time the Red Cross Motor Corps, picked me up in & station wagon ou. at the plant. Going to the hospital with Mrs. H. C. Fahrbach and Miss Marjorie Cowan of the corps, we chatted about how the roads were all torn up. This was more exciting than working all afternoon. It was only half an hour from the time we arrived and I gave a medical history to Mrs, T. M. Coland, charter member of the blood donor center, until we were back in the station wagon. } I answered “no” to all the questions about previous diseases. 1 guess my “hemoglobin” that Technician Ward Farlow took must have come out all right. Mrs. Paul Fesler, RN, took my blood pressure, washed the crook of my right arm with soap and alcohol and swabbed it with iodine. She applied one-half cc, of procaine so I wouldn't feel anything. : o ” ” THE ACTUAL blood giving lasted only four minutes. Then the doctor took out the needle and I flexed my arm. I-left the part of the partitioned Quonset with - its four surgical beds and Mrs. E. H, Schmalfeldt, Red Cross canteen worker, served me fruit juice, a ham sandwich, coffee and a big slab of white cake. While talking to Mrs. Fred Middleton and Miss. Mary Richardson who had just given blood, too, Mrs. Schmalfeldt pinned the donor insignia (a drop of blood with an imposed cross) on my shirt. I felt very proud and plan to go back to give another pint in 90 days. It was as easy as going out to lunch, only more fun and more relaxing.

‘Transing’ the Atlantic Is No Fun With Low C's on the High Seas
By CHARLES VENTURA, Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Oct. 14-—Mnst members of the so-called smart set being what they are, big-name hunting usually is about as stimulating as drinking one-half of 1 per cent beer or watching your maiden aunt peel off her long, woolen gloves, That's why it always brightens our lives when someone like Mrs, Samuel Fischer Hayes, the former Countess Caja Pallfy,
drifts across our sights. When we saw Caja at the Stork Club she was expiaining, in the most captivating accent this side of Marlene Dietrich’'s dressing room, that she never agdin would cross _the sea in anything but a standard luxury liner. “Every member of the crew in this tiny ship that brought me to New York had three -. canaries,” sighed Caja. “The - canaries sang in eight-hour shifts. Every sailor also sang during his entire working and waking hours. I don't _want to hurt any country’s feelings, but when I say the sailors’ songs sounded as though a cobra should be accompanying them by swaying on his tail, you may guess their nationality.”
She's Allergic to... . “AS IF THAT were not
enough,” -continued . Count Pallfy’s beautiful brunet daughter, “the bunk in my
-, stateroom was placed in the
exact middle of the floor and I fell out of bed so many
times I finally cracked two :
ribs.” Things have a way of happening to the lovely Caja. The last time we saw the young lady she was explaining why - 8he left Texas, where she had been living with her husband, Sam Hayes. According to Caja, Texas is overrun with tarantulas, snakes, Gila monsters and people: who pull pistols instead of calling cards out of their pockets. Last straw, she said, was when a skunk walked into a theater in Odessa and literally stopped the show. The young lady also is allergic to flying roaches, creole coking and hot weather. That's why she and her handsome husband have decided ,to go their separate ways.

SAM, member of one of America’s first families, not only likes the South, but is in business down in New Orleans. Caja. who loves lofty © altitudes and cold climates, has taken over a hotel at Kitzbuhel in the Tyrsl which
