Cities in Search fcr ' l'r Long-Lost Girl. DUESSELDORF, GERMANY.-- An American officer who hunted through the bombed wastes of German cities for his kmg-lost daudttar told recently a story of the "Cfndarella at Leipzig" that was stranger fHkm. Short, stocky, baldish MaJ. Arnold Wilson Samuels of Columbus, who served nearly a decade as a reading cterkfor the Ohio house of representatives, came overseas to flght Germany for a yecood time, and this time also to save his only child, who was born in Columbus in 198. "In February, when my division, file 94th, was storming Trier, I asked permission of my commander, Maj. Gen. Harry J. Maloney, to go in with the first wave of combat infantry," Mhjor Samuels said. "My Job was concerned with suppity and transport--not combat--but General Maloney knew that I had not seen my daughter, Elaine Marilyn, since 1938, when she was three years old and my first wife had taken her back to her maternal grandparents in Trier. He feasted pgr request. Raked Trier Rains. "I searched Trier, which had been pretty badly hit," Major Samuels continued, "and my emotions were an unpleasant mixture of fear and hope for what I might find. But the suspense didn't end. Some of the townspeople said they thought the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Heinrich Schroeder, had moved to Leipzig with my daughter several years before. I simply had to wait while the battle of Germany dragged on." The 94th rolled through Ludwigshafen, then turned north to help reduce the big Ruhr pocket. Leipzig was heavily^pbunded from the air. Major Samuels read of 11-ton bombs dropped there. Then Leipzig fell. General Maloney issued a sevenday leave--"illegal as. hell but very land," according to Major Samuels --for the latter to visit the city. Lt. Anton Viditz-Ward of Astoria, Queens, N. Y., accompanied Major Samuels because he knew Leipzig intimately from student days. General Maloney gave them a Mercedes sedan, booty at the battlefield, for the trip. Major Samuels took along documents that established that the girl he was looking for was his daughter. Fepsd at Last. t In the ruins of Leipzig Major Samuels found an American military government office and reported. He waited there while Lieutenant Viditz-Ward went alone to A*** if anything remained of an address on Steinstrasse, last known residence of the Schroeder family. "An officer had just told me I'd have to clear out of Leipzig," Major Samuels said. "My permit for leave there was no good and I was a blamed nuisance. Then Anton came back. He had been gone only 45 minutes. With him was the sweetest young girl I had ever seen in my life. She took one look at me and was in my arms. I guess I was stunned with happiness." Lieutenant Viditz-Ward that the Schroeder house was the only one still standing in the neighborhood. The grandparents, both in their 70s, and their grandchildren had escaped injury in seven heavy air attacks. On the door at the house was a name plate, "Elaine Samuels American."

Somehow, that rain we had seems to be a lesson to us, not to take for granted the good things that nature has to offer, but to take time out from grumbling and "worrying to give a little thought of appreciation and gratitude to those blessings which we do have. ^October 13--Remember the date Wonder Lakers and come to the Harrison school to cast your vote for a new member on the school board.

Stitching up frocks and blouses, skirts and cunning aprons and even making simple suits are assignments that teenagers are mastering with ease. Th^se ambitious young moderns get their hands on the family sewing machine or rent one, and after a few lessons even beginners find that they can easily and thriftily double their wardrobes without straining their allowance. Their bright minds are quick to grasp the uses of almost miracle - working sewing attachments, and they make short work of ruffles, applique, monogramming and all the rest of the expert finishes that give distinction to couturier fashions. It's important for every patriotic teen-age miss to take up the matter of reclaiming various closet castoffs, and there's a lot of fun and satisfaction in transforming "castoffs" into wearable fashion-right clothes. After a few hours of instruction any college miss can transform that extra pair of brother's old trousers into a good looking companion skirt for the plaid jacket, made of father's well-worn woolen bathrobe. These two pieces will be worn together as you see centered in the illustration. Before you start on any remodeling job see that the fabric is carefully ripped, cleaned and pressed. Be sure to take a good look at the wrong side. Even after hard wear, the wrong side at most good woolens looks practically structors Will show the fabric on the the grain and de direction. This amateurish mistake! to lay ble with result the wrong hang in the finished garment. In making over a pair of trousers into a skirt, experts advise a simple four-gored or pleated-front skirt pattern as the most satisfactory choice. After the trousers have been ripped apart, cleaned and pressed, turn them upside down, using the narrow or bottom part for the waistline. If the trouser width is not sufficient to take care of pleats, seam in an extra strip that's been cut out of the unused part. A discarded suit of a brother in the army can be counted on to yield ideal salvage material for a smart tailored jumper, styled after the manner of the attractive model to the right. The jumper to the left is also of salvaged material, the suit used be ing of light colored wool. Even i! you buy a few yards of gabardine or wool crepe for the jumper, a canvass of the family closets is likelj to yield up enough castoff garments to provide any number of interesting blouses to wear with one's jumper To give fabric - saving wartime wardrobes a maximum fashion rating, it's clever strategy to practice "mix and match" magic. A jacket that co-stars with a skirt or a jump er, or a skirt that doubles up smart ly with a plaid blouse are good e* am pies of teaming that give the ef feet at extra costumes. The tiny sketches below in the il lustration offer suggestions for mix and-match costumes reclaimed from discarded garments. The plaid blouse to the left was made from a "has been" bathrobe, the slacks of fine cloth salvaged from man's navy flannel houserobe, the suit jacket came from brother's back-number coat and the plaid skirt was cut out of the lower portion of a plaid bathxob «. tar Wifcteni Newspaper Oaiaa. Double-Duty Hal This hat so exquisitely designed in sculptured lines serves for both day and evening wear. Fitting closely to the head and curving gracefully about the browline is a cap of bright green velvet embroidered in bronze beads. The cap may be worn for dinner alone or for most any formal occasion. For daytime wear as here pictured, it takes on a sphinx-like drape of green felt which is made detachable so that you practically have two hats in dne. Unrationed Fabric Play Shoes From Guatemala and Central America come the handwoven Indian designs on cotton gabardine material that make up into most attractive play shoe*, that have the added attraction of being unrationed. Glove Modes Stress Color, Soft Styling The fashion outlook for spring is the softer dressmaker look in gloves. Generally speaking, rayon jersey will be "the" fabric of fabrics, both in short lengths and long. Shortages of familiar leathers and other glove fabrics challenge both manufacturer and designer to bring their genius and imagination into play. Gloves will flaunt unusual trims such as laces, piques, patent leather and embroideries, though the practical allpurpose glove will be the qmple classic that most people want, except for gala Wear.* The continued acceptance of the cap sleeve insures a bright future for the long glove. The mosquetire is good but it will vie this year with the removabtr hand glove. There will be color galore this spring. The pink family will especially be a winner. Fuchsia is still good, and later fancy wii! turn to white. T. & F.
