HI' Woman h West Point is more than the Long Grey Line of the Corps of Cadets. It is more than the history and tra-' dition of the United .States Military Academy. The rough grey stone buildings/\the flags whipped in the wind off the Hudson and the briskly assigned at West Point.. Here, marching cadets symbolize the United States Army --an Army in which men and women serve proudly together. Here against the grey walls of Army history, today's members of the Women's Army Corps go about their duties in an organization as filled with its own traditions as the I'nited States Military Academy. Though many people may not realize it, a WAC detachment of medically trained technicians is members of the WAC, go about their duties with enthusiasm and skill. They, too, represent a way of life that has produced Grant, Lee, I'ershing, Patton, Kisenhower and myriads of unsung heroes of our past, present and future. The group of women at West Point is an example of one of the many ways the WAC helps to keep the vast Army machine nioving at peak efficiency. Members of the Women's Army Corps do not get their training at West Point. They -- gfficers and enlisted women alike -- are trained at Fort McClellan, Alabama. When their schooling is completed, the women areassigned to Army posts all over the United States. Later, many women will have the opportunity to serve their country overseas. A woman who chooses to serve in the Women's Army Corps does an important job for her country and herself. For her country, she works at one of the hundreds of specialties which the Army needs and in which she has been specifically trained. Side by side with the others -- young men and young women -- she helps to keep the Arrqy and her country strong and free.

How can I revive glazed chintz draperies that have lost some of their gloss? A. This gloss carl be revived , somewhat with a light starch solution containing wax. Use a piece of wax paraffin or candle - wax, stirring into a boiling starch solution until completely melted. When the solution has cooled enough, immerse the draperies, then hang them to dry. When nearly dry, iron them r, on the right side. Q. How should bananas be baked? A. Bake them in the skin for § 15 or,' 20 minutes, until soft v and they burst their skins. Remove from the skins and place in a pan with very little water. Dust sugar over them, and sprinkle with lemon juice. Serve hot. Q. How can I prevent grease spots on plastered walls, also freshly-patched spots, from "bleeding through" new wallpaper or new paint and ruining its appearance? A. By shellacking over these area before painting or papering. Q. How can I deal with lipstick stains on fabrics? A. If washable, remove with hot water and soap. With unwashables, use cleaning fluid and immediately press a clean wHte blotter over the stain. Look at the blotter and you'll find it has absorbed some stain. Keep repeating until you can no longer see red on the blotter. Q. How can I make a furniture polish that is especially good on genuine old mahogany? A. Excellant polish is made of boiled inseed oil (cold, to which a little vinegar has been added). Rub this well into the wood with one cloth, wipe off the excess oil with another, and polish with still another cloth. Q. What can I do about wallpaper that has become mildewed? A. Many times, nothing. However, first try to dry out paint and plaster behind the paper by heating the room quite warm for several hours or even several days. Then wipe the paper clean with a soft cloth. Q. How can I prevent bottom crusts of pies from becoming soggy? A. Rub the crust with egg white before putting the filling in. In case of fruit pies, sterner measures are called for. Cover the crust with a thin layer of bread crumbs, then add filling. The crumbs soak up juices. Q. Should shellac be used as it comes in its can? A. Since most shellac is usually sold in five pounds "cut" or strength, for most all work it should be thinned with denatured alcohol, usually about one-half cm the first coat, onethird on the second coat. Q. How can I open hard-shell clams easily? A. They can be opened readily if boiling water is poured over them and then allowed to stand for two or three minutes. Q. Is there a good homemade glue or cement that will stick glass to glass, leather to metal, or other such tricky combinations? A. One of the best all-purpose glues you've ever used can be produced by burning shellac in a dish to get rid of the alcohol. 4jjn eu/A A 4-H meeting was held June 20 in the Junior high school. The 4-H*ers brought their different projects made throughout the year and the parents came to inspect the nice displays. Jeanne Burton, Terry Huska and Mary Harms gave talks on various subjects. We had suggestions on different programs we will have at our monthly meetings next year. The 4-lFers will have a picnic on July 20 at Veterans Acres, Crystal Lake, sponsored by the homemakers. Barbara Saunders, \ Reporter The McHenry Public library is offering a summer reading program to school children at this time.

A call to his mother revealed the boy Was allergic to weeds. The incident need never had happened if the boy's condition had been reported on the first day of camp. Now the director will admit only those children whose parents provide him with a medical fact sheet signed by a physician. If you're plannning to send your child to camp this summer, we suggest you have your family physician give him a complete physical examination and heed the camp director's advice -- prepare a medical fact sheet on the child. What information should be listed on such a fact sheet? A rrininum 1st should include any allergies to weeds, animals or foods, any physical defects which would limit full participation in camp activities, a known hyperallergy to bee or wasp stings, reaction to common aspirin, and the date of the child's last tetanus shot. Other notations to be included on the fact sheet should be any undue fear of water, the dark, a behavior problem (antisocial) or emotional problem (bedwetting). Camping can be fun, educa- M I N I ZOO . . . The most fashionable young ladies in Zurich, Switzerland will be wearing the latest in ear decor -- the "mini-zoo" earrings. The ear-drops which have .air holes, can house a host of small creatures such as fish, spiders, bugs, and anything else that will fit in.
