Local Service On V-J Day, 92,000 persons were waiting for telephones. New orders were coming in faster than they could be filled.

Mrs. Reid also told of many ways to vary these dressings to complement different salads. The theme for Mrs. 0. W. Rolph's talk on Home Manage- ment was "We're Expecting Com- pany," with the underlying thought of striving for a dignity of living. Mrs. Rolph divided her talk into three parts and the first, pretending there are guests, deait with aduit as well as child behav- iorism, also the importance of setting the table andi serving the food just as attractively as if there really were guests. The second section was relative to expected company, describing the prepara- tions necessary to avoid confus- ion and allow the hostess to spend moý;t of the time with her guests. The last part concerneti unex- pected guests, giving an outline of staples that should always be in the pantry, and several ideas for "hurry-up" meals so that the un- expected company coulti be wel- comed with pleasure rather than ddsmay. Mrs. Rolph lef t the fol- lowing good thought with her listeners: "If we treated our f a- milies as courteously as we treat our guests there would be no do- mestic troubles." This was really an exceptionally interesting talk, right in keeping with the practical and down to earth policy of the Guild. We have had many com- plimentary comments on it. The sewers, with Mrs. Boult- bee's guidance got started on their garment projeet. Instructions and assistance were given in laying out the patterns and. then in cut- ting out the garments. Mrs. Boultbee announced that there was still time to make a garment and inviteti anyone that had flot already done so to bring pattern and material and get started. Mrs. Boultbee also said that an achieve- ment display will be arrangeti at the close of this series' of classes. Mrs. L. Reid's Handicraft class studied the various kintis of smocking this week. Mrs. Reidi announced that at the close of this term there will be a prize given to the member who has shown the best achievement and most progress.

This fact is very gratify- ing to the leaders, each of whom has to spend considerable time arranging her talk or demonstra- tion and knowing that these classes are interesting and infor- mative enough to bring the ladies back week after week certainly helps to make them seem worth the necessary work. The nutrition leader, Mrs. L. McGinnis and her assistant, Mrs. W. Reid, covereti the subjects of "Vegetables anti Salads" in a most competent way. Mrs. McGinnis listeti the different varieties of vegetables and gave their various good qualities. She also told of the best cooking methods for each type so as to obtain the most benefit from it and how to serve it most attractively and appetiz- ingly. Mrs. Reid gave a splendid paper on "Salatis anti Saladi Dress- ings." The methods of preparing several green salatis, jellieti sal- ads andi fruit salads were des- cribeti anti the arranging of each mentioneti.
