BRITAIN'S PRINCESSES HATED HATS

■THE FIRST INTIMATE account of life in the British royal family ever to be written by a member of their household appeared in a recent issue of a national magazine. Under the title, “The Little Princesses,” Princess Elizabeth’s and Princess Margaret’s governess lifts the curtain that shielded the children’s personal lives. The story by Marion Crawford, who lived nnder the royal roof for 17 years, is written against a backdrop of such great events as Edward’s abdicates, the king and queen’s coronation, and World War IL continuing through the birth of Elizabeth’s son, Prince Charles, last year. Appearing in eight installments in the magazine, the book later will be published. “As far as education was concerned, the duke and duchess (of York, now the king and queen) reposed great confidence in me, leaving much to my judgment,” the former governess, a Scotch woman and a graduate of an Edinburgh teachers’ college recounts. “No one ever had employers, who interfered so little. Later I came® to. feel this was a very great responsibility, and it worried me a lot. I was to find here a wonderful ally in Queen Mary whose advice and suggestions were always immensely practical and helpful. Perhaps it was generally conceded in those days that the education of two not very important little girls did not matter a great deal/’ She recalls some nursery battles royal: “Let it not be thought that all was sweetness and light in our schoolroom all the time. These were two entirely normal and healthy little girls, and we had our difficulties. Neither was above taking a whack at an adversary, if roused. “Schoolroom brawls often started when they had to wear hats. They hated hats. This put them in a bad humor and they would snap one another’s elastic spitefully to register displeasure, to shrill cries of ‘You brute! You beast!’ We kept

RED CROSS FIELD DIRECTORS SOLVE SERVICEMEN S PROBLEMS ill E * - K, - fl K m flhL =■ ' ffl — Aw Red Cross services to the armed forces are available wherever U. S. servicemen are stationed. Here a Red Cross field director goes right to a young sailor at work on his ship for the facts he needs to help solve a problem.

The sailor was young. He had finished his home leave in a southern coastal city and was heading back to his California base. He said goodby to his parents apd to an older brother, a marine veteran just returned from service. Then he left by bus. A few hours later the older brother was killed in an automobile accident. The family appealed to the Red Cross to locate the younger son so he could return home. ’ Within a short while a Red Cross chapter secretary along the route intercepted the bus, broke the news, and helped the lad get started back home. There the chapter got in touch with the field director at the west coast base and verified the facts for the commanding officer who was being asked to extend the sailor’s leave. Once or more every minute, around the clock last year, the Red Cross performed some service for members of the military forces and their families. Among the nearly three quarters of a million cases handled, a large percentage involved supplying verified information concerning home conditions requiring emergency leave or extension of leave. While the Red Cross cannot grant leave to a serviceman, military authorities depend upon

NEW CONSERVATION, OFFICER NAMED AT GOSHEN Virgil Searfoss, 28, of route five, Goshen, has been appointed by the Indiana state conservation department to serve as conservation officer for Elkhart county. Mr. Searfoss’ appointment was recommended by County Democratic Chiarman L. J. Martin. A graduate of Syracuse high school, Searfoss has resided south of Goshen for a number of years. He returned home yesterday after completing a one-week instruction school at Indianapolis. Searfoss, who succeeds Robert Topper, of Goshen, who resigned to accept appointment as chief deputy sheriff in the Goshen office of Sheriff Luther W. Yoder, is a veteran of World War 11. He served in the Pacific theater. Searfoss is married and Mrs. Searfoss is the former Geraldine Twaddle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Garland Twaddle, of Goshen.

f .fl M Lillbet was quick with her left hook, while Margaret was more of a close-in fighter, the governess of Britain’s princesses writes, telling of their childhood scraps. Both girls were known to bite on occasions, and more than once the governess’ band showed royal teeth marks.

these scenes from the duchess. She 9 was herself so sweet and gentle.” It was a homelike and unpretentious household at 145 Picadilly in London just beyond Hyde Park when Miss Crawford joined the household, long before anyone could foresee the family’s eventual residence in the palace. “It was a lune the eenter of which was undoubtedly the nurseries,” she say*. “They were on the top floor, comfortable sunny rooms that opened onto a landing beneath a big glass dome. Round the . dome stood some thirty-odd toy horses about a foot high on wheels.” Lilibet, then about six years old explained, “That’s where we stable them.” Each horse had its own saddle and bridle which were kept immaculate and polished by the little girls themselves. One of Lilibet’s favorite games was to harness her governess with

its post field directors and the network erf chapters for reports of conditions underlying such leave requests. Field directors in 364 military installations and hospitals and 1,059 itinerant- and sub-stations in this country and abroad aid servicemen with personal problems that range from babies and budgets to helping straighten out delays that hold np pay or family allowances. The serviceman has his family problems, marital difficulties, financial strains, and family illnesses—all disturbing to morale. Field directors, providing 24- ■ hour service at military installations, are pretty much in the same situation as the family doctor. ■ They are routed out of bed at all hours to face any one of a hundred complicated problems. Sometimes it may be to get a report on the condition of a critically ill member of a soldier’s family, or to lend him money for an emergency trip home, ; or to find housing for a family unexpectedly arriving at the post. Whatever the problem, the serviceman feels free to turn to the Red Cross for help, knowing that he wifl find a sympathetic friend in the man wearing th* Red Cross uniform.

little red reins, or to be a horse herself, prancing around. Once the governess commented to the king that this obsession for horses was surely rather remarkable. His majesty said, “Think nothing of it It is a family idiosyncrasy. My sister Mary was a horse till she ‘came out* ” “Margaret taek a warm Intercut in her toilettes from an early age. Lilibet never cared a fig- She was never happier than when she was thoroughly busy and rather grubby.” She and her governess set up a toy farm, buying most of the pieces at Woolworth’s. Then Lilibet went through a phase of being very farm-minded, deciding to marry a farmer when she grew up. “I shall have lots of cows, horses and children.” she announced. Life in the ducal mansion was simple, as the memoirs published in the magazine describe it

School News WHO’S WHO A Cheerful Little Earful is our Senior of the day. She is our own Loretta Held. “Rett’ was born June 16th, 1932 in Syracuse, Ind. and now lives with her sister, Mrs. Ted Auer. She is another of i our five-foot-two girls, and has lovely blond hair and hazel eyes. ‘ Loretta attended Hex grade •’ Syracuse grade school, and ' Syracuse High School, each for four years. She says her most outstanding memory in school was the time Miss Hamman sent her to the office for misbehavior in class. (But she didn’t mention that Ted went with her). Rett is a member of the school chorus and the Junior Ladies Sub-Deb Club. Loretta earns her own spending money working at Thornburg Drug Store, and has a pleasant smile for everyone, even the crowd that greets her with a “Hubba hubba.” Her favorite sport is basketball, but of course she dosen’t get to see as many games as she Would like. When we asked her about her date bait she replyed without hesitation, “A good-looking guy.” In the Junior Class play she took the part of Cordelia Puckett, the old-maid with a disagreeable and dictatorial manner, and she played this part marvelously.. Her favorite actor, like many seniors, is Robert Mitchum, and her favorite song is “Tell Me Why” with Sammy Kaye's band. An apple for the teacher? When we asked Loretta about her favorite teacher she got a far-away look in her eyes, and said her favorite teacher went way back to the second grade to Mrs. Meredith. Her favorite subject is English. She likes cheeseburgers and says she could go for one anytime. Her pet peeve is people who can’t make up their minds as to what they want, and her hobby is collecting old records. Loretta’s plans after graduation are uncertain but we seniors wish her luck in whatever she decides to do.
