Newspaperwoman - 'Iady in Waiting" FOk G Day Breathes Easier When She Finds Ns All RlglM 10
 Just Call Me Duchess

hear His Royal Highness gfvO . fighting wartime speech. We were the only women there but the 900 gentlemen of the press had eyes only for the Duchess. She has an elus- i've beauty that is magnetic. Once the Duke paused. The sea of stand- ing newspaper men thought 1t was the end and hands were raised to applaud. Cameramen jumped up Only the Duchess, sitting next to me, made no stir. (She was his wife and had heard the speech before. She knew 1t was not the grand flnale.)
 The minute the speech was over I escorted the Duchess to the party given by tane newspaper women. That wasn't so simple. We travelled down some back stairs of the Press Club building to a different floor the famous "12th," where many a well-known washington correspond ent and colulnnist has his office. This I explained to the interested Duchess, who would keep those offices busy grinding out stories about her until midnight.
 An elevator was held for us, fianked by Scotland Yard and lo- cale police. It took a hundred cops to get us from the curb to the door of the Willard.)
 After the afternoon press par- ties were over, MT. Christensen and I, as presidents of our respective clubs, solemflly shook hands. It was over-we had not upset any diplo- matic applecart. Nothing embarrass- ing had happened. Only few gate crashers had been successful. The carefully planned events had moved along not only smoothly, but on time.
 DINNER WITH
 DUKE AND DUCHESS
 Glad to drop the role of host and hostess, we became guests that evening at an unofficial and infor- nal dinner party at the British Embassy. It was given by Sir Ronald Campbell, the Charge d Affaires, in the absence of the British AIn- bassador, Lord Halifax, who Is in London.
 OueSU lSLS, SlklCe CIle WdIp are not given out by the Embassy, but the prominence of the guests (ex- cept the two of us) was 6 com pliment to the visitors.
 The Duchess is regal in evening clothes. She wore a sten-like white dress, which depended upon its jeweled embroidery pattern for a. dornment. Her diamonds at throat and wrist were magnificent.
 Now comes a confession. I had never dined with a former King amid the pomp of an Embassy dinner, but I knew that guest doesn't leave party before royalty. But I did. I had to write this story.
 The dessert came Cit looked good. My dinner companion, who had been watching the time for me, said, "Youll have to go." The word was sent down the table I made my goodbyes to the Duchess (she knew that this might happen) and, bless me, the Duke of Windsor arose and escorted me to the door.

Mothers Joining In
 Defense Activities
Shortage of Domestic Help in Caring for Children Presents Serious Problem; Child Centers Proposed

The entrance of more and more mothers into Connecticut's booming defense industries as an essential part of the national defense pro- gram, coupled with the fact that there Is a lack of domestic help in some parts of the state, has created serious problem of care for chil- dren of employed mothers of the state.
 Pioneers In the field, the State Departments of Education, Welfare and Health, since an initial meet ing in April, l94l. have been study Ing the acute problem of care for children whose mothers are employ ed in defense industries, and work ing out skeleton specifications for the establishment of emergency child care centers in communities throughout the state.
 State Among Leaders
 Connecticut has been the leader in recognizing the urgency of the child care problem. The State De- partments of Education, Health and Welfare organized committees and subcommittee composed of noted figures in these three fields which had been working on the plans for establishment of child care centers and directing surveys in various cities as to the number of chill dren needing such care for three months before the Federal govern ment attacked the problem last July.
 Other states, which are just draw ing up plans for the creation of cen- ters of child care, are adopting the policies and principles as worked out by the Connecticut committees last April. This indicates the soundnesS of the planning done by the three state departments and the committees.
 The Connecticut committee on child care, which started out in April as an independent organiza- tion to remedy the situation arising from increasing numbers of mothers entering the states vast defense program, was adopted last month by the State Defense Council of which Col. Samuel H. Fisher is ad- ministrator.
 The history of Connecticut,s work in the field of emergency child care dates back to last April when the problem was recognized as urgent by the State Departments of Educa- tion, Health and Welfare. The de- partments feltt hat since at this time when the work of women was needed as an essential part of the defense program 1t was more than ever a public responsibility to pro- vide appropriate care for children while the mothers were at work.

October devotions will be helt daily in all Catholic Churches O the Hartford Diocese from October 1 to November 2.
 Rt. Rev. Maurice F. McAuliffe bishop of Hartford, in Q letter tt pastors which was read at all Massei yesterday, commented as follows:
 The month of October is de- voted to Our Lady of the Rosary. The Rosary is household word in every Catholic home. It unfolds the mysteries of Our Saviour's life and Our Lady's part in the Incarnation and Redemption. We reflect on these truths and express our love and devotion in the Our Father and the Hail Mary. The Rosary should be the keepsake of every Catholic. No day should pass but that he has lifted his soul to God and found comfort in the joys, sorrows and glories of Jesus and Mary.
 May I urge the recitation of the Rosary in every family of the diocese during the month of Oc- tober. Let all the members assem- ble in the early evening and offer their homage to God through this blessed medium.
 The Holy Father has issued 8 special request that the faithful throughout the world unite in prayer during October for the quick restoration of peace to the war-torn nations.

Demands of union truck drivers in Waterbury and the rest of New England will be taken up at Q con- ference to be held tomorrow ct Southbridge, Mass. The Truck Dyiv- ers' local of this city, a unit of the A. F. of l.. International Union of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and Helpers, will be represented by Timothy Collins.
 New England truck operators were meeting this afternoon at Provi- dence, R. T., to decide what stand shall be taken on the unions de- mands.
 A wage increase of five cents an hour is sought for union drivers and helpers. The union contends that a rise in living costs has made the increase necessary unless there is to be @ lower standard of hv- ing.
 union leaders say that their de- mands are authorized under the contract now in effect with oper- ators. The contract, they say, car- ries a clause allowing either side to reopen the wage issue in the event of "inflationary or deflationary movements"
