SOLDIERS FIND
 A MOTHER WHO WILL DARN SOX
BY ROBERT c. MILLER

OAAArgAa v AN34 0t4AA OOAL LEEHWlAAGA6t
 Honolulu, T. H., May 25- (UP)- Until Mrs. Harriet D. Wilcox came along most of the soldiers in Hono- lulu just threw their socks away when they got holes in the heel or their big toe5 began protruding. Now 'Mom" Wilcox has taken the situation ever and is the champion sock darner in the territory. {; Nom, small gray-haired and mat ronly, came here from Berkeley sevefal months ago and she and her husband immediately opened their little home to the armed forces, telling the boy to make themselves at home"
 The Marines, being the first gang anywhere, found out about the Will cox home first; then the word got around that anybody in uniform could walk in, peel off their shirts, raid the icebox and make them- selves right at home and forget the war for 8 few minutes. That was how Mrs. Wilcox found out about the sock problem.

I never realized until then what a tough time the fellows were having with their socks. offered to do this lads alarming for him and I've had 8 steady job of 1t ever since.
 ''It's really nothing" she blushed, 'but I can do 1t well and it gives the boys an excuse to come around
 and MT. Wilcox and I like to know them and have them around"
 Nom Wilcox's idea is to give the army and navy taste of the home life they knew back on the niain- land and she's doing an admirable job of it.
 Her biggest problem is to get the socks before the holes get too big.
 "It's hard to make some of these young fellows realize the truth of the old adage a stitch in time saves nine she sad, land some of the holes brought me for alarming are the size of post holes"
 Her ambition is to start sock alarming centers in which those wo- men living near army and navy bases capable of handling a needle and alarming thread will offer their services to the enlisted men.

 Registrations are still accepted in most of the towns, where cards have been deposited at the Civilian Defense Volunteer Office, at local defense headquarters, the Town Hall, the Library, or some other central place. In the larger cities, having district offices of the United States Employment Service, women are asked to register there. Need is still acute or will be before autumn in several key industrial points of Connecticut, according to Major Leonard J. Maloney, Director of the United States Employment Service for Connecticut.
 Child Care Centers
 One result of the registration will be the starting of child care centers in many towns and cities. The wom- en registering were asked to give the ages of their children and state whether they would need help with their care if they took job The information will be used as basis for determining the kind and the lo- cation of daytime centers in various communities where women workers are needed. Among cities where ad- ditional child care centers are being planed are: Waterbury, New Lon- don, Norwalk, and New Haven.
