a visit to her home in Carol County,
Md.
Things began to be scarce then"
she said, particularly sugar and
salt. At that time I also noticed a
great change. In fact, found a
new world and for the first time
since I went to Japan in 1926 I
realized that my friends at the mis-
sion and I were being shadowed."
Suffer Sacrifices
For Strange Ideals.
The young missionary, who
modestly denied that she speaks
Japanese fiuently. although with
sufficient ease to converse and teach
in the language, declared 1t is i'm
possible for occidentals to under
stand the type patriotism or the
strange idealism which leads jap
anese to any lengths IN suffering
and sacrifice.
Their thought processes are en-
tirely different from ours" she ex-
planned, "and that is one reason it is
difficult for us to speak their Ian
guage. Women are taught from in
fancy to accept gracefully whatever
is sent to them"
Returning to the matter OF ra-
tioning, Miss Heltibridle said there
was no danger OF acute food short
age in Japan as, being expert farm
ers, the japanese always had an
abundance of vegetables. When she
left the country in May. 1941, it was
possible to purchase a great variety
Of vegetables and fruits. she added
Being an island nation, seafood
is also plentiful" she continued
"and there was SUFFICIENT Japanese
tea for every one"
The greatest shortage observed by
the missionary was in cloth
ing materials.
Il noticed many months before
left that my pupils clothing was
very thin" she explained. There
was no cotton or wool to be had In

The night clubs are open, but
where could you go for a quiet bit Of
fun?
To meet this special problem, the
UsO Club at tho YWCA has In
augurated q program to provide a
weekly might out" for Washington s
night workers.
On Thursdays "after work"-from
1l:30 pm. to am-the club at
Seventeenth and K streets NV, Is
open to both men and girls employed
on the various late shifts.
No Formal Program
Is Arranged.
No formal program is arranged
because one isn't needed. Groups
OF two or maybe half dozen stroll
In and the first thing they get is a
bowl OF steaming soup.
Other light refreshments are on
hand but the soup and crackers
hit the spot when a person has
Just come out of the chill night air.
There is a CHEEKY fire in the
lounge and small groups gather
about and just visit" with each
other.
When they've had their soup.
others look about for a place to
dance. And the gymnasium is open,
too, SO that games of badminton or
basket ball are soon under way.
The USO staff has found that
many Of the girls and men like to
sing. so a good pianist is on hand
to play the accomplishments.
How do the night workers like the
program?
They are the most appreciative
group we've ever had at the club"
says Miss Mabel R. Cook, the direc-
tor.
Opening Night
Brings 102 Visitors.
THE night we opened, 1O2 per-
sons came and I would say at least
80 stopped to say 'thank-you' be-
fore they left.
Some of the boys wanted to help
with putting away the card tables,
and the girls offered to help with
the refreshments. They seemed to
feel very much at home and, of
course. that's just what we want"
Personnel directors in some of the
Government agencies also have been
much interested in the program. At
least three called up the day after
the opening night to express their
approval.
Miss Cook emphasized that the
might workers" program is not
open to those who hold daytime
jobs.
I'VE close up the building prompt
ly at II pm. on Thursday so that
those who may enjoy the regular
USO activities will go on home"
Miss Cook said with laugh. Then
we reopen at l1:30."
But We do feel that as long as
we have people here working around
the clock that there should be some
form OF wholesome recreation and
fun around the CLOCK.
Bus and Trolley
Schedules Checked.
Anxious about transportation at
80 late an hour, Miss Cook checked
into the bus and car schedules and
found them to be as good at 2 am
AS at midnight Then she asked a
cab company to send cruisers by
the building so that groups of girls
could go home together.
There also is a program of day
time activity at the club for night
workers, the director pointed out,
but many prefer to find their own
forms of entertainment during the
day.
Still in an governmental stage. the
midnight program is confined to
Thursday now, but it can be ex-
tended to other evenings If there is

The first task in preparing a

The perennial crops, which will
remain in the ground for years and

asparagus and perennial onions.
The best practice is to set aside a
space at one end of the garden
