GLIDING Y. M. c. A. service
for the big Chinese army OF

and for the building of civilian
morale, and Y work for War Refu-

Is needed to balance the Y budget
in It's three buildings, the Camp
and for community work.
President Leon French states
"This community Is giving itself tc
the manufacturing Of war supplies
and to the sending Of our young
men to fight the countrys battles
The Y. M. G. A. Is concerned In
both Of these. In the last Worlc
War, six additional Y. M. g. A. sec
retaries were put on In Waterbury
to help serve the needs OF our wal
workers.
Since then we have built three Y
M. c. A. buildings, and the present
organization is considered competent
to carry on. Large numbers OF wo-
men are serving in industry. The Y
Is open to them, too,
our boys must be protected from
the shocks Of war. Juvenile crime
increased so per cent In war-torn
Britain, and per cent in the United
States last year. The Y. M, G. A. Is
building health, character, education
efficiency, and morale.
This is the time TO keep our Y
M. G. A. strong. The Y. M. G. A.
with its three branches and Its camp
and Its community outreach, was
organized In Waterbury, to serve at
a time like this"
while many people may not
know 1t, the Y. M. 9. A. Is one Of
the strongest international Organ
izations In the world. The Y. M, G.
A. has been called by world leaders
and in agreement between govern
ments, to serve one OF our most
needy groups. ! refer to the Prison
ers of War. This now includes our
own boys, who went out TO fight for
us.
mo war work Is more important
than that which the Y. M. G. A. Is
doing for the Armies OF our Allies
1t is because the "Y" Is Information
al aind already established, that II
was called to serve the great Chin
csc army Of 100000 men. They need
our sympathetic support, and theil
morale Is just as important to the
winning Of the war, as the morale
In OUR own army.
I want to make another point
that Is very important, The Y. M
G. A. is able to carry on this great
war service for prisoners and our
allied armies, at very low expense.
The Y. M. G. A. asks only $500, 900
for the Prisoner of War work, and
$500 900 for its other war world
service, because 1t uses the existing
machinery Of the Y, and because 1t
organize the Chinese to serve their
own troops, and organizes the pris-
oners in the prison camps, to help
themselves. The Y supplies the pris-
oners with books, athletic supplies
musical instruments, and games
and give the leadership to organic
ing teaching faculties and directors
OF games In the camps"

All, the memories that find me, now
my hair Is turning gray,
Drifting in like painted butterflies
from somewhere far away.
Fitting idly through my fancy, and
the pictures fading fast,
Pass again rose and purple DER the
broad screen Of the past,
There's the old selected dreaming
meath the wistful, watchful stars,
And the breeze Is telling stories to
the list'ning "coolabahs";
And the old home, looking welcomes
from its big, bright, friendly eyes,
With the "Sugar-loaf" behind 1t,
blackened in against the skies;
There's the same dear, happy cir
Gle round the boxlog's CHEEKY
blaze,
with q little irish mother telling
tales Of other days,
While the fountain keeps a-singing
on the hook beSooted DER,
And the youngsters on their hands
and knees play "horses" round
the floor.
She had one sweet little custom
that ! never can forget,
And O gentle benediction crowns her
memory for 1t yet;
! can see that little mother still, and
hear her as she pleads:
Nov it's getting on to bedtime; all
you children get your beads"
There were no steel-bound conven-
tons in that old selection free;
Only this-each night she lined US
up to say the Rosary;
Fen the traveller who stayed the
night upon his journey knew
He must join the little circle, aye,
and take his decade, too.
And I believe she darkly plotted,
when sinner hove in sight,
Who was known TO say no prayer at
all, to make his stay the night.
Then we'd softly gather round her,
and we'd speak in accents low,
As we prayed as sainted Dominic
prayed so many years ago.
And the little Irish mothers face
was radiant, for she knew
That where two or three are gath
cred" He is gathered with them,
too.
Ger the Paters and the AYES how
her reverent head would bend,
How she'd kiss the cross devoutly
when she'd counted to the end;
And the visitor would rise at once
and brush his knees, and then
He'd look very, very foolish as he
took the floor again;
For she'd other prayers to keep him,
they were long, long prayers In
truth,
And we used to call them "trim-
Minis" in my disrespectful youth.
She would pray for all our little
needs, and every cloud Of care
That would darken DER the Sugar
loaf" she'd meet with prayer.
She would pray for this ones "sore
complaint" or that ones "hurted
hand"
Or that someone else "night make

Chic Arrangement
With Pearls

IN THE days of dowagers,
pearls came in ropes, looped
down ones front. In this modern
age, a single strand. worn with
everything from evening gown
to a sweater, is considered
smarter.
But now we have something
new again-ropes Of pearls with
the effect Of a choker. Rosalind
Russell manages all this with
her double strand of pearls
which hangs perhaps halfway to
her waistline.
She catches the strands to-
gether at the neckline in front
with a black velvet bow. lets
them hang in long cleaning
loops from this ribbon. So nice
with her long slim black dinner
frock.
You can. if you like, vary this
trick by knotting the bow at
one side. With shorter strands
Of pearls, worn with sweaters or
daytime frockS, use grosgrain
ribbon possibly IN q color.

Diet Experiments Prove
importance ofFood on Morale
BY IDA JEAN KAN

1T IS unusual for people to
be subjected TO experiments in
nutrition. But after this war
is over we may expect to see
some horrible results from the
deficient diet imposed by Hitler
on the people of the conquered
countries.
The procedure is not only to
cart away all the food that can
be transported but also to re-
move all the vitamin B factors
from what is left. The deliberate
intent is to destroy the morale
Of nations.
Before this innova ion in
warfare, the experiments in nu-
triton have always been con-
Quoted for the purpose of i'm
proving the dietary.
Persons in schools or various
institutions were kept on the
regular diet while certain groups
were selected for a study of the
dietary additions that would inn
prove their health.
Different Diets
At one English institution
where the boys ranged in age
from 6 to II years the different
groups all started equal-on a
diet gagged good by our
modern standards. But only one
group remained on this diet.
Besides the usual fare, an
other group was given an extra
pint of milk a day. A second
was given extra butter, the
calories being equal to those in
the milk.
A third group received the
same number of calories in
sugar, a fourth the same num-
Der Of protein. A fifth group
was given oleomargarine and
still another three-fourths of an
ounce of fresh watercress.

Conclusion Reached
The significant point in this
study is the great improvement
that can be made in a person
with very slight improvement
in diet.
1t was noted that the milk
given in the middle of the day
did not lessen the appetite but
stimulated it through improve
ment in health.
This is another lesson relayed
to you from the refresher course
given at Columbia University for

will make you realize how inn
portant food is TO your family's
well being and will make you
eager TO plan your menus care
