The managers TOR the Senior
Basketball league held a meeting
last evening at the Washington
Park Community House, and voted
to disband for the season, due to
the fact so many of the players
were unable to attend the games,
due to the various hours for work.
Also the lack of interest shown by
spectators-inasmuch as people are
all working and keen interest
seems to be in the war these days,
instead of sports. Basketball for the

Ingenuity Pays

MOST FAMILIES are going 70
spend more of their leisure hours
at home than they have, so max
ing the play room attractive and
amusing is quite in order. Fun,
too, because if you're bit
handy, you can do much of the
work yourself and let your in
genuity run riot.
For instance, it would be APP
propriate to carry the decoret-
ing motif back to pre-auto days.
Worn riding boots might easily
be transformed into lamp bases;
buggy seat into a sofa; leather
straps with stirrups into drapery
pulls; carriage wheels and other
parts of horse-drawn equipages
used in any number of amusing
decorative ways.

SHARON Derer -. she's worth
the Sacrifice
reads that married men may
soon be needed in the army, he
can't help but worry about
leaving Mama to face alone the
responsibility of looking after
the kids.
And, if Junior arrives after
Papa has been sent to another
country-he costs both parents
at least double the usual worry
and concern.
The war has added to the cost
of bringing up baby, all right.
But, fortunately, parents don't
think the cost is too high.
They worry, and struggle and
plan so as to do the best they
ccn for their children when war
conditions make living more
and more complicated every
day.
But il never occurs TO them
that they are being asked to
pay too much for their families.
They'll pay whatever price
they are asked-no matter what
sacrifices they have to make to
do it.

BY RUTH MILLETT

Three-year-old Sharon Derer
of Chicago, whose mother has
kept strict account of every cent
spent on her since she was born,
cost her parents more this last
year than the year before. Like
almost everything else-babies
do cost more in wartime and not
just from a financial point of
view, either.
In cases where Papa gets
job in a crowded defense area,
the cost of baby often includes
a temporary war-enforced sepa-
ration between his parents.
