She's Nations No. Farmerette
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE WlCKARD'S DAUGHTER TAKES OVER HIS HOME JOB TO HELP WAR EFFORT
By MALvINA STEPHENSON NEA Service Correspondent


 Camden, Ind.-As a pretty "cabi- net daughter" 20-year-old Ann Wickard could enjoy a preferred social rating in the Washington capital whirl, but she sticks to the Indiana farm of which she is the proud new manager.
 A staunch defender of farmer cites, Secretary of Agriculture Caulde R. Wickard is setting an example by letting his plucky young daughter hold down the drivers seat while he is absorbed with official business in wartime Washington.
 Daddy told me last Christmas how serious the situation of farm labor was, and would become" Ann recalls, in explaining how she drew her man-sized job. And, this seemed the only way I could help, although don't wear any kind of farmerette uniform.
 ANN IS THRILLED
 WITH NEW JOB
 Of course, Ann is as thrilled and excited over her new assignment as most girls would be over splash on the capital social front.
 Not that she isn't fun-loving, normal girl who goes to college and has lots of friends. Ann simply has it all worked out in clever budget of living.
 It's easy to see that Ann is really natural for this job. As young ster, she tagged her father across the fields and in the barnyards, plying him with countless questions. Even after the family moved to Washington in 1884, Ann insisted on going back home as 5oon as school was out. She simply thrives on farm life and has a pretty eye for busi- ness.
 First, there is the overall book keeping job. With income taxes ris- ing, plus other wartime complica- tions, Ann must account for every penny. On a recent trip to Indiana to install his daughter as acting manager. Secretary Wickard ex- plained the proper procedure and then handed her the stack of ledg- CTS. And she's keeping the record SITdlBnU.
 Thre are regular purchases of feed for the hogs and cattle, and sometimes the formulas must be varied. Hands" are to be hired and paid each week. Machinery repairs, and countless other tasks are need- ed to keep the wheels turning.
 Tall and straight, Ann wears be- coming gingham frocks. Her brown bobbed hair curls softly around her face, and her hazel eyes sparkle as she hands out directions or discusses farm activities.
 Ann has made no final" decision on just what her career will be. She likes newspaper work and music and dancing and picnics for recreation, but there's little time for much of this now that she has become farm manager.

GlOritying Yourself

 Busier hands deserve better care, especially at the fingertips, and therefore when you come back from vacation all vigorous and rested, you ough to make point of laying in a supply of home manicure materials.
 Good professional manicurists are stressing the simple fact that put ting your hands in theirs once every week or ten days won't keep really busy fingertips lovely. You have to cooperate by grooming your tips meanwhile.
 This is especially so now, when nail tips are shorter and polish does less of cover-up job. New polishes, in fact, include quite a number of d-fashioned powders - the kinds you really must buff on, and the kinds which don't cloak the imper- fections of your nail surface.
 THESE MAKE FINE
 BACK GIFTS
 One new preparation of this kind comes in handy little round paper box with a shaker. If you use it faithfully, following just few min utes' attention to your nail edge and cuticle, you'll have lovely, well-kept nails.
 Other home care "musts" are your file and emery boards, an or ange wood stick, cotton, cuticle oil or some other softener (olive oil or peanut oil will do, if you're budget bound and don't mind the odors). Watch the nail edges, and smooth them at the first hint of ragged or irregular growth. Push the cuticle back daily = the old habit of push ing back with the towel after wash ing your hands is a good one. Ap- ply cuticle oil at night.
 A lovely back-to- school gift is something to help a girl care for her nails. There are two new little kits from the same noted house, each containing enamel polish, re- mover, and matching npstick just for good measure. One is blue leather-like packet which can be used for carrying her Identification cards, or for a wallet, too. The other is a beautiful little red bag, with black and white checked lin- ing, and a plastic ring closing-per- feet for evening bags, just big enough for makeup "musts" and real encouragement to nail care.

 My husband has been drinking for some time and lately has become an habitual drinker (writes Mrs. Somebody. He still has job but he Goesn't do as well as he should. He has no sense of responsibility and Is now nearly bankrupt. The children and I are feeling the ef- fects of all this, but nowhere can l seem to find practical help for the problem. don't want to undertake legal action to confine him to an institution. A good doctor I know suggested that perhaps Alcoholics Anonymous" could help me but couldn't tell me where to go or to whom. to apply for information. believe you mentioned Alcoholics Anonymous" in your column once, and if my recollection is right about this feel sure you can tell me what neel to know (Mrs. ----).
 With all the sympathy in the world, Ma'am, I can tell you one thing you need to know, something every prospective bride needs to know, namely, than an unexception- able condition or requirement. for marriage should be a seldom pledge of both parties against the use of alcoholic beverage or liquor at least until the partnership is dissolved or any children are old enough to take care themselves. It seems to me that those who administered the sacrament of marriage or perform the legal ceremony ought to use their influence to persuade couples seeking marriage to give this pledge, for the happiness of the family and the welfare of society in general.
 Unfortunately I am no better prepared to tell you where to go or to whom to apply for information concerning Alcoholics Anonymous" than your own physician friend is. I wish I could put you in touch with such group or some member of 8 group of Alcoholics Anonymous" in your city or vicinity, for I believe 1t might help your husband to find his way back. But Alcoholics Anonymous" are "Alcoholocs Flu sive" so far as my efforts to learn anything about them go.
 On request, accompanied with a stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress, I will send copy of my booklet "Dipsommia"-a practical consideration of the cause, preven- tion and treatment of the craving for alcoholic liquor. Inclose ten cents coin for the booklet. A :neth- cd of treatment for inebriety recom- mended in the booklet is the Lam- bert method--given to the medical profession some thirty years ago by Dr. Alexander Lambert. Any good physician can give this treatment to his patient at home or in hospital with fair prospect of success. Tech-

Shipyard Worker Held
On Charge Of Sabotage
By the Associated Press.


MILWAUKEE,, Oct. GA youth
full shipyards worker, accused of will
fully performing his work in a de-
fective manner, was held last night
under a Federal wartime sabotage
warrant.
Harry O'Connor, head of the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation here
said the youth was Lloyd William
Glandt, %, OF Kewaunee. Wis. Mr..
OConnor said Glandt was an en-
ploye of the Manitowoc (Wis) Ship
building Co. and that he was being
held pending preliminary hearing
before a United States court com.
missioner at Green Bay.
Glandt attended the University
of Wisconsin for two years and had
been employed as a machinist at
the yards since July, 1s4l, Mr.
O'Connor said.
Issuance of the warrant. the first
of its kind to be sought in Wisconsin
since outbreak of the war. was au-
thorized by Assistant United State.
District Attorney E. J. Koelzer, who
said Glandt was "well-paid work
err who had obtained selective serv-
ice deferment because of the work
he was doing.
There was inconvenience and de.
lay because of the defects Koelzel
said. If they had not been dis
covered, the war effort could have
been impeded and lives actually
lost because of them"
The section of the Sabotage Ac
under which Glandt was charged
carries q maximum fine of $4,000
or maximum imprisonment of 81
years, or both.

Interpretation on the phrase and

What Stain wants, Of course, IS
an action that will draw q great

terrific pressure on his armies. Prob
ably the only operation which would
achieve this would be an invasion

There is NO other zone which

1t is equally true that some day
Uncle Sam and John Bull likely

In France. In view of many military
men that is the only way Hitler
can finally be finished of. That is a
hard, dangerous route to Germany
but it Is the direct one.

The point is that If an attempt

CHUNGKING, Oct. 6.-Wendell
Willkie spent six hours in con-
ference with Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek last night and
went to bed after l am, but he
was up early today for another
crowded schedule.
His talk with the generalissimo
was the fourth in an unprecedented
series and was the longest ever
granted to a foreign parsonage by
the Chinese leader.
The Chinese press continued to
feature Mr.. WILKES visit with long
accounts of his activities and edi-
torial comment. Ia Kung Pao re-
ported that a plan was under way
to rename one of Chungking's main
streets "Willkie street.

Ia Kung Pao, in strongly word

Mr.. Willkie would inform President
Roosevelt and the American public
of China's plea for the abrogation
of extra -territoriality and foreign
concessions.
"Willkie is straightforward, sim
cere man who has won the friend

but when we shake his hand there
is still the pain hidden deep in our
hearts. Here we are a member of
the anti-aggression front and we
have been taking a beating longer
than anybody else. Yet while fight
ing for a common cause our hands
are still shackled by chains imposed
BY our friends in the last 100 years.
1T is very difficult to understand
why the Allies still give us unequal
treatment. While Mr.. Willkie is
here we would like to make known
this feeling on the part of the en-
tire nation, its people, the army
and the government"

New Outbreak Indicated.
The Germans had compelled
thousands OF Norwegians and Danes
to work on harbor installations
airflelds and coastal defenses in
Trondheim Province under work
or Starve edict." There have been
many reports of sabotage there
and the present measure apparently
followed a new outbreak.
The Vichy radio said curfew
was imposed on all Norwegians at
night and public buildings, restau-
rants and places of entertainment
were ordered closed daily at 7 pm.
Public assemblies were forbidden.
Norwegians in London said the
order had been expected because
''Trondheim has been an area of
wide unrest with repeated fights
between workers and German
guards and numerous arrests for
sabotage"
Many Fires Reported.
There have been many fires re-
Gently in buildings occupied by
German officials and one large food
dump was destroyed" these sources
said.
1t was the second state of emer-
gency proclaimed in Norway. A
similar measure was imposed in
Oslo in September, 1941, after q
series of fires and sabotage. More
than 1000 persons were arrested
then and two Norwegians were ex.
ecuted. Twelve others were sen.
