 in civilian life, who took over a clubs electric iron and pressed and mended the uniforms of his companions to while his leisure hours away.
 Many a service man finds new expressions for his, talents in USO clubs. Men sit in art classes just to while away the time and find themselves engrossed by talents they never knew they had. Finger painting is becoming popular in many clubs.
 ONE-LESSON ARTISTS ARE USO SPECIALITY
 Becoming an artist" in one short lesson is not uncommon, for the special paint used. spread evenly over coarse paper and work ed into designs by fingers, assumes artistic and multi-colored patterns o. beauty.
 Out at Wendover Air Base, Utah, the soldiers wanted their USO club- house built in hurry. PrioritieS and previous contractua1 arrange ments made it impossible for early construction, so soldiers and ci- viliars went, to work and built the clubhouse. They started work at reveille and by nightfall they had the club sufficiently completed so they were able to hold a dance in 1t.
 One of the most important serv- ices the USO performs is provid- ing good listeners" Many 8 sol. dier gets a lot out of his system just by sitting down with a USO club hostess and unloading his mind.

 plement Address

At the opening health forum at the Central Y. M. c. A. last night the guest speaker, Richard F. Clapp, gave a talk on Food Poison ing and Diseases in Public Places" :" His talk was based largely on giv- ing the public some safe funda- mentals to be guided by when eat ing out, along with the necessary rules that should be taken as stand ards for cleanliness.
 Supplementing the talk was mo- tion picture, "Twixt the Cup and the Lip" which showed how the dishwashing and cleanliness of pub lie eating places can be improved for the general safety of the public. Mention was made of the three fundamentals for safe eating in res- taurants: l. Food originally pur- chased should be clean and fresh. 3. Proper storage and refrigeration. 3. The general psysical look of an eating place should be a guide for selection.
 Miss Barbara Kilduff of the Anti Tuberculosis association, was chair man of the meeting. Miss Kilduff was introduced by Miss Beatrice Bringmann, chairman of the Edu- cational committee of the Young Women's Division of the Central Y. M. c. A., who sponsored the af- fair.

important acts of kindness consist of just letting the service men fol- low their owns devices.
 MANY MEN
 YEARN TO COOK
 At one club a uniformed man bashfully stated he yearned to cook a spaghetti dinner. He was taken into a kitchen where he produced g masterpiece of culinary art which was devoured by himself and others with gusto. Cook Your Own Meal" groups have been formed in many clubs, turning out anything from soups to cakes.
 Many men want to go fishing. Dozens of USO clubs on the ocean and on inland waters provide the facilities to catch anything from tarpon and bluef1sh to the less gamey channel cat"
 The urge to make music is strong in many of our service men so strong that USO clubs have put on drives for instruments on which visitors may saw or tootle to their hearts content. Jazz bands, jam sessions, and more serious artistic efforts prevail all over the USO camp.
 On Cape Cod a huge Indian in haki invaded jazz concert. Clutched in his hands were a bag of candy and a bunch of news paper comics" He sat as close as possible to the drums, utterly contented till the session closed, complete satisfaction written on his face.
 There is a great demand for Sweet idleness," or just plain be- ing left alone. In many clubs men come to the quiet room," turn a chair to the wall and sit there for hours in contemplation of nothing at all, then go forth refreshed and with minds apparently more at ease for time of absolute relaxation.

Service Mems Many Odd Requests Tax Ingenuity of USO Officials

 New York, Oct. 14-The husky soldier stood hesitantly in the door, way of the USO clubhouse. Spot- ting him, the hostess came forward and said: Hello, soldier. Can I help you in. any way2 We have a billiard table, there are playing cards, checkers and chess. There's a quiet reading room with lots of books and magazines and there are writing tables with all the stationery you wart.''
 The soldier looked even more i'll at ease, if possible. He swallowed hard, twisted in embarrassment and finally blurted out: well, ma'am, If you don't mind, I'd just like to hold 8 baby-one about three months old. You see, left a little one at home and
 F. s. He got to hold a baby, courtesy USO.
 His request may not have been typical of some of the unusual things service men ask for, but the response to it was typical of the way the USO handles thousands of such out-of- ordinary situations. PARKED" BABIES PROVE
 POPULAR WITH SOLDIERS
 In this particular instance, the hostess hustled around the neigh borhood and borrowed baby. Gen. erally, babies are rare at USO clubs, but they always are popular. Oc- casionally, soldier father, whose family is visiting him, will park the baby at the USo while he takes the mother on a sightseeing tour of the camp. The youngster always becomes the center of attraction.
