| ' bh JURA FFA HM AVAL NTR British Y.W.C. A. Needs Our Women Canadian Women With Or ganizing Ability Needed In Recreation Centres In Bri tain . An urgent need for "Canadian women" with organizing ability to relieve the great shortage of train. ell, dedicated, experienced work-. ers in Britain," was expressed by Mts. Arthur Grenfell, who arriv- ed in Capada recently. » As presi. dent of the British Y.W,C.As, Mus.' Grenfell is here to promote the Mrs, Winston Churchill Fund for British Service Women, to ex- plain its purpose and describe at first hand "Y" "activities, - "Our main work in war-tine is . providing clubs -and * hostels for every branch of women in war service," said Mrs. Grenfell, "for women in the three fighting forces, land army girls, munition workers: and all industrial work- ers, especially the young wage- earners from 14 to 20 years, "The Y.W.C.A. is the orly-wo- men's grganization allowed to run canteens inside military camps, airdromes and' ports where the women are," she stressed, voicing the opinion the same. plan might be carried out in Canada as the official auxiliaries expand. At present the "Y" has offered its facilities: to Canadian women in uniform, but no attempt is being made to have centres within the camps where women are to be stationed. "Five weeks ago 1 found myself opening the two hundredth centre for uniformed women, In addi- tion there are 20 reception hostels for munition workers with more opening all the time. We have been saked to have 70 hostels ready for land army girls within the next six months, At first we thought only seasonal accommoda- tion would be necessary for the farm girls but their work has turned out to be all year round." ~~ There were certain food regula- tions, Mrs. Grenfell said. No more than tea, coffee or cake could be served before three in the afternoon and then only snacks, in huts to women who were on regular army rations. Rationing In vast hostels, the largest of which tends to the needs of two 'thousand women in munition . plants, necessary ample meals are supplied, .though butter, sugar,- tea, cooking fats and jams of all kinds are strictly rationed. At this hostel the residents are em- ployed in" double shifts so Y.W. C.A. members must be ready day and night. ; : As an example of one of the ways' in which "Y" workers can befriend others, Mrs. Grenfell spoke of the women in alrdromes and naval ports who frequently witnessed their best friends or fel- low workers leaving and were under terrific strain waiting and mot knowing how many would re- turn. "While these young women have their own officers, who may be Sympathetic yet must maintain discipline, they feel free to -talk things over with our workers." Mrs, Grenfell said the hostels were sought by girls on brief leaves who wanted a change from camp life but did not have enough time or money to go any distance. -Wompn in uniform paid no mem- bership fee but a small hostel chage was made. 3 Munition workers placed in small towns away from homes which they knew were in danger were always homesick and worried about their people, but gradually they became accustomed to new surroundings, continued Mrs. Grenfell. . The Y.W.C.A,_ accommodated these workers for a night or so until government billeting and welfare officers sould find houses or places for them. "You can imagine the sense of relief when teen-aged girls in blackouts in strange. towns find clubs where they may have some fun." Army.

MARRYING MARK . ... b ; Violette Kimball Dunng CHAPTER 26 / Dorothy was resting in her room when Mark and Valerie returned. She eould hear them laughing In the hall below, and then on the stairs. She was by now thoroughly frightened by what she had done. She wondered now how she could icy son 80 'Weak as to leave Luc girl from 'nobody knew where had had the Impeitinence. to order her ut of the room! The whole thing hinged now on whethef Lucy had left a note. What had she said ia- it? It she bad told Mark the truth, things would be worse than' ever, If, however, she had gone decently and sald nothing, or merely "good. bye," who could connect it with Dorothy? She put on what she considered a particularly fascinating frock, and went downstairs, trying to look as If nothing hd happened. Mark and Valerle were waiting "for her, and went In immediately to dinner. One look at them told her Lucy had gone, Valerie was very pale, and had obviously been crying. Mark was hardly himself at all. His face was very stern, and he looked years older than when he had.. driven away that morning, es Dinner was eaten practically in silence. They seemed driven by some table when Dorothy had barely finished her dessert. Mark beckon- ed her into the library, and Val- erle followed. She had begun to cry once more, and Mark put his arm around her as he faced Dor- othy. Dorothy is Questioned "Miss Tredway has gone," * he said flatly. "She left a note, but it means nothing." Dorothy drew a deep breath. "The whole thing is a mystery, Totally unlike her in every way. Of course something happened after we left this morn- ing. I'm making it my business to find out what it was. Can you tell me anything?" Dorothy lifted innocently injur- red eyes to his. "I'll do everything I can, of course. But I'm afraid it isn't much. You see, I spent most of the day-in my room. I had a lot of letters to write. I saw Miss Tredway. at lunch for a few moments, I'm afraid that's all." "Ot course it isn't all!" said Mark. "Naturally, I'm not ques- tioning what you say, But there's something back of it. Have you any idea where she went? Or at what time?" : "] told you 1 didn't even know she was gone," sald Dorothy. That, at least, was the truth, she thought virtuously. Valerie laid her head against Mark's arm-sobbifg. He had shown - her Lucy's little note. In all her life, nothing had ever hurt her so much: . "It must be me--I mean, I--" she said. I'd have dane anything for her --father--" She broke down. completely. : Mark gave her a gentle shake, and spoke almost roughly. "Stop it, Val! Lucy will- come back! You'll have to pull yourself to- gether!" "Your father is quite right," said Dorothy. It was probably bet- ter to take some part in it than to stand and say nothing® "There was nothing about the young wo- man, after all, that §s worth your making yourself {ll over," Valerie raised her head. She wiped her eyes and faced her aunt. "Luey is the most wonderful per- soit in the world next to my fath- er! You could not possibly under- stand. I am going upstairs, father. I'll do whatever you want. If you say you'll find her, you will. So everything will be all right." She. turned and ran out of the room. Dorothy gathered up her dignity. "I shall go to my .room, too, it you'll excuse me," she said, "I find I may have to leave quite sud- ecess t. lieve, ! without delay, that s nif ng a sneezing. ..the S2vé; rsitatled nostrils Sho od- A ond pain , ntbol stam relief or money Buy a 80¢ tube or jar of M Don't let baby ER ead cold one | today from your nearest MENTHOLATUM } Gives LOMEFORY Daily ISSUE 50--'41 C , 'alone.

He tried to rea. son it out. He would have staked anything on Lucy. Why had she gone? Chilten brought in fresh ciga- rettes for the antique silver box, He filled it, and set it on the table within reach. Filled Mark's cup again. Made obvious, small ex- cuses to linger in the room. Mark looked up at him suddenly, Why hadn't he thought of the man be- fore? ' 4 . Chiltern was at the doorway when Mark called. He came back and stood beside Mark's chair. "Yes, sir?" "lI want you to forget yourself," Mark said surprisingly, "Yes. All about your station, or position, or whatever 'you call it, I'm in a devil of a mess, and I have a hunch you could help me out." "Quits, sir," sald Chiltern. "You mean Miss Lucy, | supposé." _ "Of course I mean Miss Lucy.

Mark jumped to his feet. "Now we are getting somewhere. What the devil did happen? That's just what I'm trying to find out." Mrs. Summerville went to Miss Lucy's rooms sir. I went to your rooms to look at that defective light as you told me, As [ passed Miss Lucy's sitting room, I heard volces, I recognized Mrs. Suminer- ville's.

Ee od British Babies Must Sacrifice Touching Highlight on Food Rationing Told by The Strat ford Beacon-Herald o Even the littlé bables of Britain share in wartime sacrifices.

The ad. vertisement "calls 'upon the house: wives of the United Kingdom to observe the instructions hroadeast each morning--the "Kitchen Front Broadeast," as it Is significantly called. There are many severe restrie- tions under the rationing system, and many suggestions for over coming the effects of the lack of former foods. It will suffice, wo think, to quote only three extracts from the official advertisement, Read them: "Instead of orange juice, give baby swede or turnip juice, sweet. ened, of course.

Yes, this was tho question asked a member of the Hxaminer the other day. y: Wo were rather stumped for the minute for we had rather thought that we had tried to steer a course on a pretty even keel and we have known times, that when we did reveal the defeats and roverses suffered by the Russlans in our headlines, that readers have near- ly burned the telephone wires up the next day. just telling us what they thought of the Examiner and the way it was handling the war news from Russia. Thelr remarks were certainly not very compli mentary towards us, especially when a metropolitan paper had played up a Russian success wherd only a front of a few miles had been involved while the general front is hundreds and hundreds of miles long. Just 'What Hitler Wants Experience has taught us that Canadians do not like to hear un- favorable news, they just want to keep on in their old ways, having they never want to he told that the Empire is in danger, they just like~to continue in their own sel- fish 'way.
