Girl Reserve Notes

According to the Girl Reserve
Opinion Poll (spring 1942), Girl
Reserves are doing many kinds Of
war work. Over SO per cent are
purchasing stamps or bonds and
more than A per cent are helping
with a conservation or salvage pro
gram Helping in the organizations
/, for welfare in their communities.
working for the Red Cross and
taking courses infirst aid are high
in the list. Others have helped
with war relief agencies such as
United China Relief or American
Friends Service Committee. Special
Girl Reserve projects. too, help
Girl Reserves to make important
contributions to the war effort.
For many years service activi-
ties have been included as an i'm
portant part of Girl Reserve pro-
gram because younger girls need
immediate opportunities to contri-
bute TO the solution of community
problems. Y. W. C. A. wotld
fellowship projects have helped
Girl Reserves to reach out beyond
their own immediate communities.
The present international conflict
offers new opportunities, if we but
use them, for girls to contribute
to the well-being Of others-peo
pie near at hand and people far
away. 1t is exceedingly import
ant that In the giving of time,
money, clothing, toys, Girl Reser-
YES find for themselves greater,
understanding of what other peo-
pie are like and what their needs
are. Service work" is a way of
doing something about problems
and needs that have been talked
about in club meetings, at home, in
church, in school. This is one way
of taking problem. such as that
of better international relations
and breaking it down into pieces
that a high school girl can deal
with. No one person or club can
do all these but the girls can in
vestigate the needs of their own
community and choose their SER
vice project accordingly.
All club girls are busy getting
their clubs re-Drganizeh. Each
club is expecting more and big
ger plans than former years. All
club girls are urged to be present
at their respective club meetings.
Last year the enrolment of the
Department was four hundred
forty-a larger enrolment is ex-
pected this year.

1t grows increasingly obvious that
many women who are dissatisfied
with their fate in life, have no one
to blame but themselves. Not all Of
us are blessed with the body Of q
Venus, and there are those who
spend lifetime bemoaning this
fact. On the other hand, there are
those better adjusted, happier
females, who know how foolish this
Is. These women are the Doors of
life: those who busy themselves
with ways and means of remedying
defects, or compensatlng for them
by the development of some other
advantage.
Throughout the country within re-
cent years, there have sprung up
gymnasiums for women, or exercise
salons which are patronized by
people from all economic and social
positions In life. They are women
who, for some reason or another,
are not satisfied with the contours
Of their body, and who are deter
mined to do something about 1t, In.
stead Of attempting to hide the de.
fects with uncomfortable, construct
Ing glrdles which seldom succeed In
their mission.
Most public schools and wv. GAS
are equipped to cater to this group
Of ambitious femlninity. But there
Is no common, classroom answer to
your body remodeling problem. Not
only your silhouette and weight are
involved. Your difficulty may be
caused by bad posture, incorrect
diet, an ungraceful walk, etc. Yet
all are problems which can he
solved with intelligent study and
strict adherence to q schedule L.
for while. No Job or schedule that
you can undertake can pay you
greater dividends.
Here are some of the body defects
which usually can be corrected by
exercise: Large abdomen, thick
thighs, fieshy ankles, heavy upper

arms, full waistllne. Round Shout
ders, sway back, and prOtruding
stomach are sometimes q result of
bad posture, standing and sitting In
correctly. Bad skin, the condition
Of ones hair. and the quality of ones
disposition are sometimes the result
Of incorrect diet. Anyone can learn
to walk well and nothing Ia as ex-
.pressive Of a happy, self-confident
attitude, a. q graceful, swinging
stride. As q rule this Is no accl-
dent. You can give yourself q
strong, handsome body, and the
proud walk Of a princess, by exer-
else and concentration upon an
ideal.
Our advice to you Is to consult
the director of physical education
at the gymnasium In your commu-
nifty. She Il an educated, specially
trained individual, who will be fat
tered at your confidence and request
for advice. And then follow this
advice. We can't all afford body
messages, the services Of charm

But smart instructors Of physical
education say that q psychological
change, q happier, more optimistic
mental attitude. usually follows
physical Improvement, and we say
that II this Is true. 1t IL worth as
much In time, effort, and money, as
you can AFFORD to pay. Take advan-
tage Of the body improvement which
can be yours with a little Intelligent
study, and . lot Of will to be
