Dr. Fisher fare what the practical nurse is to the care of sick people. Dr. Fisher says, and she's likely to make a permanent change in her towns life.
 Dr. Fisher Is going to train sev- eral hundred volunteers herself, this summer, at the Summer Institute for Family and Child Care Services in Wartime, in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. A practical approach will infuse the training-Dr. Fisher has four daugh- ters of her own, aged nine to 20. She is 8 quick, blonde woman with the unphotographable charm which comes from highly mobile features and fine shifting color.
 MUST COORDINATE
 WORKERS, VOLUNTEERS
 "strangest paradox of the war;" Dr. Fisher told me, when she came down to lecture the other day, lis this: everywhere, the professional teachers, public health nurses, rec reation specialists, pushing thern- selves beyond endurance; and every- where other people, particularly wo- men, desperately wanting to help but unprepared. The answer is ob- vious. Train both types to work to- gether."

BOUND TOBE READ

The story deals with 8 psyctolog- ical twist that is not entirely satis- flying, for the reader is faced with six personalities and left to decide which one, or all, belongs to the heroine. By her own admission, the author does not know nor attempt to enlighten the reader.
 THE Classics Club has revived the \ ageless Praise of Folly" writ ten four centuries ago by Desiderius Erasmus. This edition contains an excellent introduction and biograp- hical sketch of Erasmus by Hendrix Willem Van Loon.
 Van Loon sums up Erasmus phll- oSophy in one astute sentence:
 "He wanted mankind to be set free from fear and disaster by being set free from its own ignorance; he hoped for 8 world in which intelli- gence, common sense, good man. rlers, tolerance, and forbearance should dominate the scene instead of violence. ignorance, prejudice and greed"
 Many good hours of reading in this volume because 1t can be read over and over without growing old. THE KINGS PASSENG ER"
 A Oippincott), by N t h a n Schachner, is an. excellent histor- ical novel based on the exciting theme of Bacons Rebellion in the colony of Virginia.
 The author has captured the fiery spirit of the colonists and cre- ated memorable character In Jeremy Wynne, the "rebellious pas senger" who becomes the friend and aid of Nathaniel Bacon. RoBERT FROST'S new collec- ANtion of poems, published under the title of "A Witness Tree" (Holt) Is singularly American in beauty, thought and treatment.
 His new lyrics are as profound and tender as the ones which have earned him the Pulitzer Prize three times. Frost admirers are sure to spend a happy hour with a small book.
 "RRIGHT TO THE WANDERER"

IDLE TIRES ROLL IN

On October Is, OPA announced
that it would revoke the gasoline
rations of motorists who did not
sell to the Government all spare
tires over one per car Since then
gradually swelling stream of
idle tires has been rolling in to
the Defense Supplies Corporation
to add to the national rubber re-
serve.
OPA believes the number of idle
tires to run into the millions Early
reports show this to be true. In
the Philadelphia area, over $4,000
were turned back in less than three
weeks. Prize contributor. was a

Prices in the popular 500 16

If your spare tire is definitely
junk, sell it to your junk dealer.
If there is doubt as to whether it
may be recapped, send it to the
Defense Supplies Corporation thru

is junk, they will send you the
highest scrap rubber price for it.
TIRE REGISTRATION
Sale Of excess spare tires is
only one of the regulations OF the
new OPA tire conservation plan.
At this time, motorists are requir-
ed to register again in connection
with the OPA's Tire Record and
Basic Mileage Ration registration.
This registration applies both in
the currently unrationed areas and
where motorists are now register

procedure varies in some sections.

LEGION STARTS ROUNDUP


In addition to all their other
Home Front responsibilities, the
American Legion from now until
November 30, in every section of
Delaware, Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania will be conducting their jail
opy Roundup.
A jalopy is the slang term for an
automobile no longer willing or
able to operate. There are untold
thousands of them behind barns,
ON lots. and in garages.
They were good cars when they
had their youth. Today, they are
so many pounds Of scrap metal.
Because your country needs that
scrap metal. Legionnaires, mem
bers of Legion auxiliaries and the
Sons Of the American Legion are
now on the hunt for the jalopies.
The hunt will take them from
door to door, from farm to farm.
Where they find one. they will ask
the owner to sell it for scrap.
They will point out these facts
to the owners:
1. An old automobile provides
the scrap required to make two
one-ton bombs. twenty-seven 20-mm
aircraft cannon, or respectable
amounts of other weapons. A
jalopv is important ammunition.
2. Almost twenty-five per cent of
the scrap metal needed for the
war effort comes from jalopies and
the number in auto graveyards to-
day is 80 per cent less than it was
six months ago. We need more of
them.
g. Every man in our armed forces
today needs nearly 5000 pounds of
equipment. A jalory, weighing
about one ton. combined, with vir-
gin metal, nearly equips one SOL
dier, sailor or marine.
A. While the scrap price of an
old car is hardly more than ten to
fifteen dollars, neither the auto
graveyard operator nor the scrap
metals dealer is in position to
make more than a very small profit
from the transaction because his
selling prices are fixed by the Gov
ernment
1t will be difficult to convince a
Legionnaire that your unservice-
able automobile is not urgently
needed in the war effort. He

PRICE CONTROL A PROBLEM
Price control continues to be
OPA's greatest problem. Because
the number of retail establishments
in existence is too large to permit
the agency to check their sales for
observance Of ceiling prices, OPA
has been urging the public to re-
port to it all obvious violations.
The public is now beginning to
reallZe that 1t is to their advantage
to do this. Several actions have
been brought in Baltimore. The
first such suit in Philadelphia was
brought November 5th when a
householder brought suit against
secondhand furniture store for
$117. He accused the dealer Of
exceeding the OPA ceiling on q
reconditioned refrigerator by $39.
Under the law he is entitled to
triple damages.
On amounts involving only a
few pennies, the purchaser is per-
mitted to sue for $50 and the cost
of prosecution.
