 This will be a great improve ment over the previous non-cen- tralized organization, which our limited membership necessitated, Mrs: H. L. Faulkner, Girl Scout Commissioner, stated. Tt was a satisfaction to be able to qualify for the more compact form of or ganization," she said, which re- quires a Girl Scout enrolment of at least 100, and a central com mittee of at least ten women. Our Scouts now total l24, and our com mittee women, fourteen"

FRAN(05AYS HE'LL STAY
 WITH AXIS
Reaffirms Faith in Ger. many and IiaIy-
 Hits Liberalism

LONDON, Dec. 9.-Generalissimc Francisco Franco didn't surprise many persons Tuesday when he re- affirmed in a broadcast from Ma drid his solidarity with Germany and Italy in the struggle against what he called liberalism and capi- talist imperialism.
 This probably means that Hitler will be free to use Spain as 8 main street, if he chooses. Franco. who went to the same school as Hitler and Mussolini in the pre- war days, lived up to predictions in his statement today.
 Addressing Spain's State Party, Falange. in his first public speech since the Allied occupation of French African territory and the German occupation of all of France, the Generalissimo asserted :.
 One outcome of the last war was the barbarian communist dic- tatorship established in Russia First Mussolini, and later, Hitler combatted it and established new order, These new systems are not peculiarities of a race or nation. but represent a new faith in revolt against the old liberal world We knew in our youth.

American Air Units Report ed Taking Very
 Active Part

LONDON, Dec. 9-Heavy artil- lery and steadily growing fleets of planes are reported to be soften ing the Axis forces in the Tebourba area as the Allies, more secure after repulsing the enemy's at tempts to recapture the heights dominating the battlefield, appar- ently prepared for big, new drive on Bizerte and Tunis.
 American pilots are taking a very active part in the ground operations a Morocco radio broad cast reported, quoting what it called a new Allied headquarters communique.
 Fresh Air Forces
 The Morocco report said also that every day, fresh formations of aircraft are put into action" !" suggesting that the Allied com mand has made strides toward solving the shortage of air bases closer to the Tunisian fighting.
 Further news which the Morocco report attributed to an Allied com intinique was that in the Tebourba sector of the Tunisian front. the Axis forces were shelied heavily by artillery after successful Allied counter-attacks.'
 Concentrate Forces
 This indicated that the Allies are concentrating heavy land and air forces, presumably to exploit the advantage won when the en- en1y was forced to withdraw the wedges he sliced into the British and American lines.
 A connunique direct from AL lied headquarters, however, report cd full 'in activity in the for ward area yesterday" reporting that it was limited to patrolling after the battle for the heights Sunday and Monday which ended with the Allies holding their ori- ginal positions.

FIGHTING OFF FATIGUE

% %h'sz Blythe
YAR-URL7 Then you have
w a private war to fight with
w fatigue, the saboteur which
slows down production. puts your
nerves on edge and strain on your
good looks. and leaves you with too
little energy for your own woman's
work.
For the best strategy, follow the
plan for war-work mapped out by
the USO Division of the Y.W.C.A.
Tactical expert is advisory-board
chairman. DR.. Josephine Rathbone
of Columbia University, who con-
ducts the famous Relaxing Clinic of
that school.
Best way to cope with fatigue,
she says, is to become an efficiency
expert on your own and help your
self to working conditions that will
save your muscles and nerves from
needless strains and pressures.
1ooT-leoTEs: If your feet support
you on a job. put them in roomy fats,
and follow these foot-notes. Stand
and walk with an upright carriage
that gives free and easy balance. A
lopsided or droopy stance means an
unequal weight distribution; taxes
one group Of nerves and muscles;
lets another group 60 scot-free. Re-
suits: bedeviling fatigue,
But even well-balanced body
needs an occasional change. So shift
your positions. Swinging leg is
dependable trick for shaking off ten
sions.
Do you sit at your work? Sit
firmly astern and with a straight
lower back. If you don't have a pos
ture chair to help you keep the
starch in your spine, tap the home
resources and use a pillow or a roll
of material to fill in the gap be-
tween your back and your chair.
Adjust your chair seat so that you'll
have firm-footing; or if you can't
do that, bring the floor up to your
feet with a box.
LITTLE MISS AGU1FET. Seat-height,
whether it means hosting yourself
on cushion, or lowering the castors
on your chair to lop off some eleva-
ton, should be sufficient to give
you free and easy elbow movements.
Keep supplies within easy arm
reach and you'll have more energy
left for your woman's work that
begins at the end of the day.
Time sensibly used for periodic
rest pauses is time well spent for
both your employer and yourself.

getting that she's lady, should
hoist her feet. The sitting patriot
should shake leg in the direction
of the er-cooler or the ladies'
room. Time-out from work and COM
plete change in muscular positions
help to make new woman out of
you, both mentally and physically.
AL FRESC0 LUNCHEON. During
the noon hour, try to escape from
four walls. If possible, have an al
fresco lunch, even if it's picnic
lunch in paper bag. But serve your
self the essential foods. Your job
demands them. For the blessed sur
cease that comes only from stretch
ing yourself out after a meal, lie
down on grassy couch, if you can.
Home work? The quickest way
to deal with fatigue aches is a
good soaking in a tub. If feet
try to roll over three times and
play dead, you can restore liveli-
ness by treating them to some
brisk hand manipulations.
Balance your work with some
form of recreation from which you
can get relaxation A sports hobby
fitted into your daily scheme will not
only rout tensions, but is valuable as
a builder of strength and endurance
for the long-pull.
Diversion? Best way to blackout

some fun. As an example of what a
