 Unless women let themselves be pushed back into the home and into "women'S work" when the war Is over - the baby girls ot today can be anything they want to be and do anything they want to do when they grow up,

ac, 8 Outlook Is Bright; ,7,r.gAars Get New Lingo

It may be that the new markings required by WIPE on canned goods may alter our entire shopping lingo.
 The rules are that food canners must emboss, print. Autograph or stencil the contents on each can. This is 10 enable the Armed Forces to tell the difference between peas and apple sauce If the labels get wet and come off.
 WIPE has even gone so far as to provide aSbreylations of five ,stters to be stamped on the cans. And some of them look q little confusing - but they do tell .he story, you'll admit.
 If you saw can marked carrot, pou'd probably decide they just didn't know how to spell. But how about aplsa, apbut, apcot, aspar? Yes, you're right they do stand for apple sauce, apple butter, apricots and asparagus.
 Of course pumpkin, pickl and Oranj wouldn't fool anybody. But just try this order on the poor grocery clerk: "I'd like . can of sbean, Blakb, catsp, tOmpa, tomju, grpju and pinju."

 Now IS ronc too soon Co realize that women's experiences in "emer- Eency" activities like wartime jobs may effect changes in our stand- ards of beauty and dress that will last even after the war Is over,
 This is especially pertinent for young and middle.aged women. Older ones may consider themselves and be, beyond bcthering about new ideas. Youngsters will grow up Ad- justlng Co them naturally. But the woman who is "set" in pre-war hablst and attitudes - who merely tolerates wartime changes and hopes she, won't have to for very long-may find herself hopelessly behind. thee parade for long, ifne portant stretch of her life.
 For instance, in clothes. Smart magazines long ego announced the pre.war giamor girl who looks purely decorative - and looks as fl she did nothing but make herself more 80 = is out. And likewise the career-type who looked and be- haved as if she could get along very nicely, and meant to, without ever Q concession to domestic and do- nothing-hut be charming impulses,
 The type that Is stylish today Is both more or less concerned with strictly feminine charm by turns -- than was either pre-war type, This new type wears two decided- ly different kinds of clothes: work clothes for work, whether it's a coverall or e business suit; and play clothes, whether it's an even- ing dress or Q bathing suit, for leisure time. Her face, too, Is made up to suit the occasion, much more than formerly,
 It's my hunch these distinctions are among the war.born stand ards Of beauty that will last well past wartime. Women now work. ing want to get back Into their homes. But when they do they will very likely keep to the pres- ent purposeful working clothes they're beginning to like not slacks, probably, and surely never again the purposeless dressy-dress for morning. This will be Q big fashion force, likely to counter the pendulum-swing back to volumi. nous, soft styles.
 So when you abandon your high-heeled pumps for daytime walking shoes, remember 1t mayn't be just Q wartime ''must"-it may be getting in the groove for the future. And you may find 1t makes shoes, both work shoes and charm shoes. more interesting.

Bran Fine Substitute
 In Christmas Sweets
Recommended in Place of Hard.to.Cet Ingredients
 For Wartime Delicacies

When little Jack Horner pulled that plum out of his Christmas pie 1t wasn't in wartime that he did itI Today, all those luscious things that go into Christmas sweets are scarce and expensive. But there are substitutes-and good one is crisp, toasted bran. This tasty breakfast cereal will pinch-hit for nuts, ada ing a flavor of its own.
 Take the mater of Christmas pudding. Ordinarily, preparing the ingredients was a days job. But Victory Plum Pudding calls for nothing that isn't available, while the bran scattered through 1t gives a glorious nut-like crunchiness. Bran Devils Food Pudding is an. other dandy for holiday desserts, Then there are those Christmas cookies Here sugar becomes the problem. Use honey instead. There arc no better cookies than Honey Bran Waters. Fortunately they can be cut into Christmas shapes. Candy is also a sugar and nut problem. Tn Crunchy Cereal Bars bran takes the place of nuts, while slightly sweetened chocolate supplies both sugar and flavor These are easy 10 make and fine to discover in the toe Of a stocking on Christmas morning.

If you haven't made your fruit cakes for Christmas yet, 1t is high time you did. You know, fruit cakes ought to be aged and mel lowed before they're eaten. Some people like to make their fruit cakes a year ahead and those are verg marvellous cakes. But we have here fruit cake recipe for cakes that will be delicious if you make them now and serve them for Christmas and New Years.
 Fruit cakes look like a lot of work and of course 1t takes long time to prepare the fruit. The best way to do 1t, we think, is to get the fruit ready the day before and then make your cakes when you have plenty of time. If you have chil- dren, let them help with the fruit. They love it and it makes them feel as if they were an important part of the festivities.

 Now if you're in the mood for more fun with the bread dough, here's just an idea for you. We are very fond of hot cinnamon rolls, but since sugar got to be so prec- ious, we didn't feel like having too many for time. Then we got the idea that maybe we didn't have to use sugar at all. We experimented around and found out that that was 60. Here you are! Take your plain white yeast bread dough and roll some of it out, about F inch thick, and sprinkle 1t with cinna- mon and then drip honey over it as much as you like.

State Reports All Reflect

Reports published of annual eX-
aminationS of records by the state
examiners office reveal excellent
conditions in town and city govern
ments of Glasgow, Opheim and

L. w. Miller, deputy state exam
liner, singled out Martin Miller, city
clerk and treasurer, for special
commentator in his report on the
Glasgow examination. Claims for
the period were found to be excep-
tionally well itemized and properly
approved prior to payment" he
stated. He also commented on the
complete and accurate set of rec
ords set up by Mr.. Miller.
The Nashua report shows a debt
reduction of S2,717 during the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1941. where it
was also noted that claims were
we'll itemized ard approved before
payment.
Opheim's report notes an in
creased cash balance on hand and
repeats the statement that has made
the north Valley town exceptional
in Montana, Outstanding indebt-
edness none" Opheim has been on
a cash basis for a number of years.
The report adds that "Au records

Canning Time Nears; Expert
Suggests Preparations Now

Now is the time to lay in lum-
Der and other materials for food
storage cellars and to buy canning
equipment, according to Ethel Grew
home management supervisor for
the farm security administration
in Valley county.
Don't wait until your garden is
in production or until fruit is on
the market before you buy food pre-
servation supplies" said Mrs. Crew:
To wait might NEAR that you will
not be able to obtain the kind or
type of canning jars and lids you
desire"
Mrs. Crew stressed that buying
ahead means careful planning now.
Families must consider how many
of their root crops will keep in an
airy basement and which are better
off in an outdoor, frost-proof cellar
or pit.
Pumpkins and squash are among
the vegetables that may be kept in
a warm basement. potatoes and APP
piles are best stored in an outdoor
vegetable cellar, but never together
as potatoes will ruin the flavor OF
the apples. Cabbage and turnips
should also be kept in an outdoor
cellar because Of their penetrating
odor. Celery keeps best in trenches.
Should Do 1t Now
She said that if families needed
shelves to improve their food pan
