ON CCC
STIRS HOUSE
COMMITTEE

Revolt brewed in the Democratic
House Steering Committee today
over the Administrators plan for
reduction of the Civilian Conser-
vation Corps when the CCC is
placed on a permanent basis.
The Steering Committee, nomi-
nally regarded as an arm of the
party organization in the House,
may lead a fight to halt the pro-
posed ecoomy program and main
tain a permanent conservation
corps on its present basis.
The administrations plan to
close "a CCC camps about April
/ and to eliminate 600 camps in
the new permanent Set-up, with a
reduction in the permanent au-
thorized enrolment from 35O,00O
to 100000, is said to have encoun-
tered widespread opposition.
There will be a meeting Of the
Steering Committee to discuss this
and other questions, said Repre-
sentative Jed johnson CD Of
Oklahoma, chairman of the COM
mittee, who added:
"I am opposed, and 1 think a
majority of the steering commit
tee is opposed to the plan to re-
duce the number of camps. The
revolt against a reduction last
session originated in the steering
committee and ended in COM
promise.
"There are more than 1000
camps in operation with an en-
rOlIment of about $50 to ITO for
each camp. They propose to
eliminate 600 camps and to in
crease the enrolment in each
camp.
1--WE would not only have them
keep the present camps until the
jobs are finished, but we want
them to complete jobs in cases
where camps were abandoned
with jobs half finished. Down
in my territory camp was COM
pletely abandoned with work but
half completed.
"The President will send a
message to Congress in the
spring recommending that the
CCC be made permanent after
June 30, when it otherwise would
expire"

.BEAUTX-
Glor1ing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

Next to 8 cruise or a holiday at some warm resort far from winter chills, a new coiffure will do most to give you that revitaliZed, enviably smart appearance. Off-the-face and of ff-the-neck, midseason hair-dos give you fresh outlook on life and beauty, too
 It's a season to have your hair tidy, sleek and well groomed with nary a stray end or loose curl nuttering in the breeze. But you are not to pull 1t back into a severe knot or have 1t shingled in mas spline manner, of course. With your favorite hairdresser, you're to plan a hairstyle that will make you look feminine and alluring, yet sleek and trim. Fashionists call 1t "the paper doll look"
 Prettiest of all are the swept upward rolls" that frame the head like a halo and are held in place by tiny bobby pins. Instead of keep ing on wearing the all-around-halo- roll you tried and found good last fall, vary 1t. Have is broken up into two or three such rolls with un- waved areas or tailored swirls be- tween.
 One charming coiffure of this type Is parted in the center. There is a roll on either side at the front, and the back locks are finished in soft curIs, combed close to the head. It's suitable for daytime or evening. Another-a variation of the long bob--is parted at the side, has up- ward rolls above and slightly in front of the ears and a suggestion of turned-under roll across the back. Incidentally, very long bobs, la Garbo in the old days, are out. They just never were suited to the active lives most of us lead.
 Next to upward-roll cultures and those with fat curls which simulate rolls, off-the-face styles with ring lets piled high at the back or worn across the nape of the neck (not too 1ow) are important. Whatever pyou decide to try, remember that it's smart to look like lady, and tidy lady at that. Also, don't forget that your COlIIuTC InuSL ouAt AA0t OAAsJ your features but your mode of life as well. | A roll that won't stay rolled up for more than an hour is pretty unsatisfactory for the girl who works in an office or 8 busy home maker.

 Some salads have strong cllarac- ter. For variety, use this kind. But remember, when a heavier salad is on the menu, 1t is wise to cut down a little on the other vegetables.
 Chiffonade Salad
 A to 6 servingy)
 Mixed greens, 3-4 cup French dressing, 1-4 teaspoon onion juice, 1 hard-cooked egg (chopped), 2 tablespoons minced beets, 2 tea spoons minced beets, 2 teaspoons minced parsley.
 Rub salad bowl lightly with gar- lie. Wash and dry and chill 8 com- bination of romaine, watercress. endive, escarole and lettuce. Toss in bowl. Add egg, onion juice, and all the other ingredients and pour on French dressing. Toss lightly until dressing has wrapped it's blessing about all the greens. Do not mix until just before serving.
 Vegetable Salad
 A to 6 servings)
 One cup chopped celery, cup shredded red cabbage, 1-2 cup chopped green pepper, l tablespoon chopped raw celery, cup chopped raw carrot, 1 cup unbuttered cooked peas, 3-4 cup French dressing.
 Marianate all these ingredients in French dressing. Then arrange on bed of crisp lettuce. Pour on a little more dressing.
 Stuffed Beet Salad
 (6 servings)
 Six perfect beets, 2 hard-cooked eggs, 1 green pepper, l teaspoon lemon juice, lettuce.
 Cook beets. Cool and peel. Scoop out large pocket in center of each beet. Chop pepper, hard-cooked egg and scooped-out part of beet. Mois- ten with mayonnaise to which a little cayenne pepper has been add ed. Arrange each beet on bed of crisp lettuce and dot with mayon- naiSe.
 The least hint Of agrlic in almost all salads makes a strong appeal for flavor. Place 8 clove of garlic in your jar of French dressing. It will add excellence such as French chefs insist on.

Flowery Designs
 For Pillows

Where is the linen closet that has too large supply of em- broidered pillow slips? Here are four perfect designs that can be used on the end of sheets, too. Each one may show a bit of cutwork, or all may be simply outlined. The lilac at the top might be given a colored hem: the basket may con- tain flowers of pink, blue, yellow. with white lilies of the valley and a scalloped edge done in white. The daffodils are large enough to ap- plique, although cutwork in color IS nice. The design at the bottom is small enough to be worked in satin stitch with French knots and a few eyelets.
 The four pillow slips on C8266 may each be stamped number of times, for they are NUMO transfers, which means that you get more for your money.
 To order, ask for No. C8266, or tear out illustration and send with 10 cents stamps or coin. (Any three 10 cent Make It Yourself" patterns only 25 cents) Address your order tc WATERBURY DEMOCRAT MAKE IT YOURSELF PATTERN BU. REAU, BOX 168, KANSAS CITY MO. Be sure to give name ant complete address.
