The Womens • Reporter • By LEONA ANNE CLAMPITT

Have you seen the latest in lapel gadgets or trimming on men’s hats? Well, it is a little red feather, and you really aren’t in style unless you are wearing one. Because quite a

-W* *Jr

number are being worn already and the idea isn’t even a week old. I am referring to the United War and Community Fund campaign that officially opened last Monday. The need of this worthy cause is greater now than in the war years, because of the thousands upon thousands in the devastated countries crippled, homeless, hungry, sick . . . because of the thousands of our boys still in these foreign lands . . . because of the thousands of our boys still in camps here at home • . . because of the thousands of our boys in hospitals, and because of their families needing support, and so because of the men and women in the armed forces and the needs of the 46 agencies of, the Community Fund serving our city we must give and give generously. And remember, the person who rings your doorbell and asks for your contribution is volunteering his or her time and service, let’s treat them with courtesy and cooperation.

One of our good cooks flavors’ her dressing for Waldorf salad with a little almond « flavoring.

Another uses a little lemon juice October’s bright blue weather.

Soldiers, Sailors and Marines, like all normal American boys and men, want to read good books. A campaign to bring interesting reading matter to the armed forced is being sponsored by the American Red Cross with Indianapolis Public Library cooperating. “Give a Book for Their Pleasure,” is the theme of the campaign which asks your contribution of books in good condition on travel, science, mystery and biographies—all are G. I. favorites. Do not ramsack your attics for a 1919 edition of everyday information. These men want interesting books, especially mystery stories, preferably up-to-date. Donors are asked to leave books at their nearest branch library. The campaign is part of a national effort by the Red Cross to provide entertainment for G. L’s overseas. An appeal to “not let the boys down who must endure the hardships of occupation duty” has been voiced by Mr. Duffield, chairman of the Camp and Hospital' Committee of the Indianapolis chapter of the American Red Cross. Books will be collected at branches. They will be classified Jay Central Library staff members and distributed overseas by the Red Cross.

in meringue for lemon pies, or a little grated rind. ;» October was the eighth month in the ancient Roman calendar as its name indicates. When the calendar was revised it retained its name in spite of several efforts to change it. A number of important events occurred in October. Among them James Whitcomb Riley, one of the few poets whose anniversary of his birth was observed annually while he was still alive, was born Oct. 7, 1853. The great fire which destroyed the larger part of the city of Chicago occurred on Oct. 8 and 9, 1871. The corner stone of the White House was laid on Oct. 13, 1792. It was on Oct. 15, 1846 in the Massachusetts General Hospital that ether was first used as an anesthetic. The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on Oct. 28, 1886. So far as can be learned the first celebration of the discovery of America by Columbus occurred in New York on Oct. 12, 1792, three centuries after the event. So much for the events in October, now for you who have birthdays this month. Your jewel is the opal, a symbol .of hope. Your flower is the aster, and your color is gray.

Now for the recipe. It comes from Mrs. Anna Young, 3547 N. Dequincy street. She is the nice person who sends the lovely poems for our paper. This recipe is for Ginger Cookies, and Mrs. Young says the longer they are kept the better they get. She just finished making some to send to her son overseas. Our thanks to you, Mrs. Young, for the good recipe and for all the beautiful poems and other items.

By VIRGINIA VALE SUCCESS is nothing new to Joan Davis; when she was 7 she was headlining an act in vaudeville. But it's hard work, talent and an uncanny sense of timing that have landed her where she. is now —doing “The Joan Davis Show” on CBS Monday evenings, and making two pictures a year for RKO. In 1941 she asked for her release from • contract with Columbia Pictures, to free-lance and “free-lanced”

herself onto the Rudy Vallee show, for guest shots at first; later, when Vallee entered the service, Joan took over. Incidentally, when Joan’s “sister** is featured with hpr on the a|r. the sister is really Joan’s daughter, Beverly, aged 12. —* — Clark Gable is back on the “China Seas.’* where he was ten years ago. For “The Big Shore Leave,” in which he stars with Greer Garson, the old Merchant Marine freighter was renamed the “Minnie Tolbert” and fixed up a bit. But when Gable saw her he whooped “That’s not ‘Minnie,’ that’s the old China? ** The same ship on whose deck Gable first kissed Jean Harlow, while a brunette newcomer looked on. The newcomer has done all right in pictures, too. by the way—her name is Rosalind Russell. *■— In five weeks and three days of personal appearances Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, vacationing while “Mystery in the Air*’ replaces them Thursday nights on NBC. netted $75,000 for the Lou Costello Jr. Youth Foundation. They’ll return to the air in October. * When Esther Williams reported for work on Metro’s “The Hoodlum Saint,” the make-up girl took one look at her and went to work with turpentine. It wasn’t a new skin treatment —Esther’d been painting her pprch furniture the afternoon before.

A good assistant director has his wits about him all the time. Recently at Paramount a scene for “Calcutta** was in progress when an arc light placed near the ceiling touched off part of the automatic sprinkler system. One hundred extras and the entire crew scrambled for cover, but Herbie Coleman had only one worry. "Don’t let Alan Ladd get wet!” he shouted. “We haven’t a change of clothes for him!” * ' “County Fair,” the Jack Bailey show, joins the small, select list of radio's summer replacements that have been so successful that they’ve been kept on. “Jimmy Carroll Sings” is another. Jimmy may act as master of ceremonies in addition to singing. * Jerry Wayne, star of his own radio show heard on Fridays over CBS, has worked up a little act with a few stage and radio personalities, to tour the army hospitals around New York. It’s a two-act musical eomedy and the boys say It’s swell. * Bashful Oswald, heard on the NBC “Grand Ole Opry,” is probably best known for his wild and raucous laugh. Oswald's two children now delight their playmates with a good imitation of their father’s trademark—his three-year-old daughter is practically perfect at it. * Philip Terry showed up on the set of “To Each His Own" with a bad limp. While talking to Walter Pidgeon. he 'rested his knee on a chair and promptly put it but of joint. So in some of his scenes with Olivia de Havilland and Mary Anderson you'll see Terry sitting down, though originally it was planned to have him stand.

ODDS AND ENDS—Xavier Cugat will not only appear with his orchestra in Metro's “Holiday in Mexico"—he’ll turn crooner as well. . . . “Truth or Consequences" Ralph Edwards, who’s been living in Bebe Daniels’ home in Santa Monica, is moving into Groucho Marx's this fall. . . . Fred Allen brings his Allen Art Players back to the air Sunday evening, Oct. 7th, immediately following Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. . , . He'll also have Minerva Pious, and Al Goodman's orchestra. . . . The furore over Lauren Bacall may have been the cause; anyway, there was a “command performance" of “To Have and Have Not" at V indsor castle.

When on the ground red apples lie In piles like jewels shining, And redder still on old stone walls Are leaves of woodbine twining. O suns and skies and flowers of June Count all your boasts together; Love loveth best of all the year October’s bright blue weather. —Helen Hunt Jackson.
