By KATHLEEN NORRIS U ID vou ever stop to con- ' sider that all the thingsn we women are learning to do in this war--things our mothers never dreamed of doing, will be useful in time of peace? These dark days through which we are living are providing you with an opportunity to be instructed in some line of work, to gain some experience that will be useful to you all your lift.. v- •. ' 'r;> ": Don't miss it. Because we are going to be a pretty specialized people after the war, and you may find yourself paying a good round sum for the lessons you may have for' , nothing now. Courses of all sorts are open to you, Vbu can choose what appeals to you most. Don't be one of the womeA who are going to feel left out of everything one of these days because they acted in wartime exactly as if it was peacetime. The opportunities of men and women are more nearly equal today than they ever have been. Thousands of women are going to retain, after the war, specialized jobs for which they have proved 'themselves adapted. And there are going to be so many new jobs, in the great uprush of reconstruction everywhere, that there will be an unprecedented demand for labor. But meanwhile, if you are not in the uniform of a WAVE or a WAC, if you are not on the assembly line or serving the wounded in some hospital, take immediate advantage of the course in Home Nursing that your Red Cross is offering you. The world would be a better place to.j live in if every girl took this course JtM BEIMG A GOOD MRSE Every uoman should know a good deal ahout nursing and first aid. if only to care for her family. Mow in wartime, when doctors and nurses are scarce, and there are so many extra dangers and difficulties, it is especially important for every woman to be prepared. In many communities, the Red Cross is offering a short home nursing course, consisting of 24 hours of class time, divided into twice a week periods. The course covers care of babies and young children, s^gpptoms of illness, simple nursing techniques, first aid and many other, subjects. Taking this course may pre• pare you to save a life--perhaps that of someone most dear to you. It u ill give you a sense of selfconfidence and save you many worried hours. The course is free. It will be worth many times the effort yoU put in to take it. was spent , prizes were awarded Mrs. Arthur Kattner, Mrs. Arthur Klein, Mrs. L. L. Kagan and Mrs. Charles Freund.. Following cards chop suey was served by the hotess. Mrs. Charles Freund was guesf of honor and was presented- gifts for her infant son, Victor, who is now six. weeks old.

A party of friends gathered at the home of Mrs. Mark Pierce on Wednesday afternoon in honor of her birthday. Cards furnished the entertainment and prizes were awarded those achieving high scores.

Yes, that iff one of the strange fruits of a great war. Doctors and nurses are cruelly overworked these days, and ,as a result the always resourceful Red Cross is enlisting thousands of other women for emergency service at home. What do you learn? Well, you learn a hundred simple little rules about keeping the family well. You learn about things that cause illness, symptoms of sickness, how to take tepnperatures, pulse and respiration, and how to use sickroom conveniences. You learn about getting ready for the baby; care of the new baby; keeping an invalid's bed fresh and a door--for no conceivable reason except that he was 12, and it seemed a sound idea to him, the tool slipped and he got a deep gash in his groin. • A girl who had taken a first. aid course was visiting us and she very quietly saved his life, for no one 1 "else knew what to do. She closed the arterial wound with a tight p»essure of lint and fingers, and told us what to tell the doctor, seven miles away. The boy is a doctor now, with boys of his own; he is doing a good job, and he and his country have to thank a 17-year-old girl who knew. Another instance of what a very little knowledge will do is in the way babies are given their bottles nowadays. Thirty years ago we all had "colicky babies." After their morning meals they had sufficient fussing and handling to keep them comfortable, but after their six o'clock bottles, how they yelled! Then, someone discovered the mid-meal bubble.

Need for Waste Paper Is Now Greater Than Ever, Says Wf*B The shortage of paper pulp pnd the increased industrial use have combined to reduce the paper towel supply. The War Production board has reduced the amount of toweling made for home use from 100 to 80 per cent of the 1942 production. Waste paper is essential to the war effort, as it directly replaces pulp in the production of new paper and paperboard containers which are used to make and ship many war weapons and supplies.
