Be Happy at Home With
Your Wartime Vacation

Instead. Of vacation away from
home this summer, why not plan
to be satisfied and happy at home
with neighbors and friends? It's
fun for both old and young to have
suppers in the backyard, using
homegrown vegetables and meats,
and make a big freezer Of ice
cream. Or, perhaps your wartime
Vacation" might be a fishing trip
to the nearby creek with a box
lunch.
For an old-fashioned get-together,
pack surprise box lunches with
variety of sandwiches and fill paper
cups to the brim with several kinds
of salad. Include fresh fruit and
homemade cookies made Of molas-
ses or honey and nuts.
Try a slice of bacon, a thick slice
of tomato and onions, and cook on
a stick over bed Of Goals.
For liquid refreshments, have
pitchers of ice cold lemonade sweet
ened with white corn syrup or stick
candy instead Of sugar. Don't use
sugar.
Use enriched bread for sand
wholesome white and some whole
wheat. Enriched bread combined
with many types Of filings from
vegetables or sweet fruit is good.
Nothing is better than homemade
cottage cheese and it is easy to
make.

vigorous exercise of swimming, but
it is a thoroughly effective means
Of soothing hot or perspiring bodies.
1t has at least one advantage over
the old swimming hole, for when
soap is used, the bath cleanses as

periods in tub or shower are offered

if play is permitted before or after,
youngsters will welcome the bath

W. V. W.: Please give me some
information about how to arrange
stories and write novels for sale
through books and magazines.
Ans: You can't become an au-

unusually talented, it will take
years of studying and training.
There are courses offered in short
story writing, which may be taken
through correspondence. Most col

fundamentals of story writing, you
can submit your novel to any pub

he pretends that he cares the world
and all for me. He is awfully nice
to me and says he is not going with
anybody else and we are going to
marry soon. He doesn't want me to
go out on the streets or do any
thing that l call fun. He just sits
around all of the time like he is in
a deep study. What must l do?
Ans: This fellow is the quiet
hOme-bOdy type while you are
the Jim, jam, jump and a jumping
1--WE kind of girl. That is the rea-
son you two don't click. If he tries
to dictate to you and tell you what
to do now he would be even
more Over-bearing and unreasOn-
able should you marry him. What
you need is someone who has the
same ideas of fun that you do. You
aren't ready for a husband yet.
A. c.: 1 have been living here
with my son for some time and
taking care of his two children. He
doesn't treat me right. My other
son wants me to come and live with
him. What must l do?
Ans: Your son is under a terrible
mental strain at this time. He does
not Intentionally find fault with
you. He would be in an awful pre-
dicament if you were to leave him
with these two children and no one
to care for them. l hardly think
that would be the thing for you to
do. Talk with your son in a bust

NJ. H.: nave Deen considering
making a change in my work for the
past four months. Should l accept
the position have in mind?
Ans: Your suggested change
would mean only going from one
hospital to another with the same
pay. But it would also mean new
cO-wOrkers, the chance to make
new friends and a new environment.
That is what you are seeking. Make
it if you like.
S. l.: 1 am going with boy who
is very nice and also intelligent. He
wants me to marry him but told
him 1 wanted to spend two years in
college which would place me ex-
actly where want to be. He wants
me to marry him secretly and con-
tinue in school. Do you think that
would be all right? He has a job
making good money.
Ans: There is no basis for mari
tai happiness in the set-up you
propose for there are too many
odds against its success. You are
anxious to finish college and would
resent having to give up your plans
should your marriage prevent that.
If you did go to college, secretly
married to this boy, you would miss
one of the major advantages of col
lege life that is, making new
friends, accepting invitations to go
out with the opposite sex. This
would put you in an embarrassing
situation for you would have lot
of explanations to make. Under
this emotional strain, you couldn't
possibly devote your mind to your
studies. Better give up the idea of
a secret marriage.
E. S. c.: am a young man and
live in South Georgia. My sister in
Philadelphia is trying her utmost
to get me to come and live with
her. She says could make a sue
cess up there with my talent. Must
l try it?
Ans: If your sister is willing to
take you in her home, send you to
school and help with your expenses
then 1 see no reason why you
shouldn't go. You no doubt could
get more advantages in a larger
city than there. But you shouldn't

In spite of hatred and fear,

And a smile upon my face.
