"Stout Ships As We'll As Stout Sailors" New Eng lands Contribution To Nations First Line of Defense

down the ways of Hart's shipyard in Boston. New England industry and New England vessels; New England workers mad New England sailors; these have been teams which have supplied hte Navy with some of its greatest ships and its greatest men.
 To-day New England is living up to her fine tradition. The battleship Massachusetts, soon to be the pride of our new Navy, is rapidly taking shape at Fore River. New Englands s metal industries are turning out araments of all descriptions. Her textiles are clothing our expended forces. And her manpower is filling those forces as in the days of Lex ington and Concord.
 And perhaps at no time since Lexington and Concord has New England's contribution been more critically needed. This is the hour of dstiny which will determine the fure of of freedom and self govern ment in this world for 8 long time to come. And this hour finds Am- erica the orsenal of democracy, the great munitions maker for embat- tied freemen everywhere.
 "It is vital that realization oi this be brought home to every one of our people. The threat to demo- cracy and what we are doing tc face and conquer that threat must become part of the national con- sciousness if we are to put forth a united effort in this crises. There can be no question but that the Eastern States Exposition is a su- perb opportunity to tell that story to many hundreds of thousands. am suer that this opportunity will not be overlooked by American in- dustry which is making such great contributions to our defense"

fellow who extends the invitation
operates on the same level, there's
nothing We can do about that So
let's Just quietly turn away and leave
them to their forlorn fate.
However, perfectly decent fellows,
particularly those living in cities,
also encounter girls whom they'd
like to get to know, but whom they
have no conventional way of meet
ing These fellows aren't wolves
trailing a defenseless lamb; they are
nice boys looking for legitimate
friendships.
Under such circumstances, It
would be pretty silly for us to take
mo, no. baby mustn't touch!" at
titude toward their desire to get
acquainted with these girls. We
think it's far more realistic, and far
more helpful, to suggest how to go
about making such friends respect
ably-and effectively.
The most important thing to re-
member is not to rush things too
much. Trying to date a girl the
first time she serves you a ham
burger means you'll get a rebuff. I'M
less the girl is pretty easy-in which
case we assume with justification
we hope that you won't care about
dating her anyway. So it's worth
while TO take little time and be-
come casually friendly with the
young lady by exchanging few re-
marks with her.
If girl whom you frequently pass
on the street or see on the bus shows
any sign of interest in you. you
might smile at her couple of times.
just TO let her know that you are
aware of her existence, and approve
of it. The next move is TO say
hello" on one or two occasions,
letting it go at that for the time be-
ing.
If she appears friendly, you might
then find an opportunity TO talk to
her briefly on the bus, or walk a
block or two with her on the street.
Once you have established this
casual acquaintance with her, it will
be easy TO suggest that you see a
movie some night together.
Well admit that this procedure
requires little time. But before you
hoot at it. consider the fact that il

girl who doesn't go in for dating

The hi, babe approach an
nounces to a girl that you consider
her probable pickup. If she is,
you win-but it's a dubious victory.
If she isn't, you lOse-and you give
the girl just cause TO be indignant
and resentful. No girl is f1attered by
having fellow act as though he
thought she was a pushoyer.
So take it easy. Give the girl the
idea you are so anxious 10 meet her
that you are even willing to violate
the gotta be introduced conven-
tion TO do so. Let her see. however.
that you respect her, and that you
realize the necessity of tact in ap-
preaching her.
Above all, avoid creating the i'm
preston that the pickup is the ac-
cepted means of making acquaint-
ances in the crowd with which you
travel. Such an impression won't
make her eager to know you-pro-
vided she is worth knowing

Fat, in Natures eyes, is a

and the quieter the resting place
the better chance fat has to remain
undisturbed Hence the tendency

That's the reason for the neces-

Arrangements

EOR HER dining table, Joan
Fontaine likes TO arrange flow
ers in slender clusters. possibly
on one end Of a shallow bowl,
balanced by figurines or a lower
group of flowers.
She sometimes adds interest
to the arrangement by scatter
ing petals and flower leaves
down the table and around the
bowl. Such an idea can be
worked out very effectively with
dahlia or chrysanthemum petals
and colorful leaves for your FIRST
party this Autumn.
The flower petals must match
the flowers in your central ar
rangement of course.
