cred that the field be named in his
honor.
YOUTHS PARENTS COLORED
While making arrangements for
the elaborate ceremonies dedicating
the field, it was learned that Brooks
parents were colored stare-croppers
living near Sadieville, Kentucky
When General Devers was Informed
of this fact, he said that no detail
of the arrangements would be
changed, and in his speech of dedi-
cation touched upon this matter, as
follows
For the preservation OF America
the soldiers and sailors guarding ouI
outposts are giving their lives. In
death there is no grade or rank. And
in this, the greatest Democracy the
world has known, neither riches nor
poverty, neither creed nor race
draws line of demarcation In this
hour of national crisis"
NINE GENERALS ATTENDED
A platoon of disnounted infantry
of the 1st Amored Division formed
in a double rank facing the flag
pole. The band of the 5th Amored
Division appropriate music. General
Devers delivered the address in
which he said, in addition to the
above:

tlefield near Fort Stotenburg, in the
Philippine Islands. For him, the
first soldier of the Armored Force
to be killed in action, this parade
ground, with its flag now at half
mast, will be named Brooks Field"
"Reveille has sounded for all liv-
ing Americans. In the factories and
on the farms-in the mines and on
the railroads.&c. the homes and in
the offices all are answering the
call. Yet non can make greater
sacrifice for the Nation than the
soldier who gives his life. For Rob-
ert Brooks, the bugle will sound
tapS.''
General Devers' letter of condo
lence to the parents Of this soldier
was delivered after it had been
learned that they were colored. They
were invited to attend the ceremo-
MES, Brooks father and mother,
who lived 100 miles from Fort Knox,
said they would be unable to at

was offered them.
The letter to the Chief of Arm
ored Force to parents was as fol-
lows:

My Dear Mr.. and Mrs. Brooks:
"It is with the deepest regret
that I have learned of the death OF
your son, Robert, who gave his life
in the defense of his country, De-
cember 8, 1941, in q battle near
Fort Stotsenburg, Philippine Is

Robert was the first battle

because Of this, and because Of his
excellent record, I have directed
that the main parade ground al

WORK HELPS KEEP FIGURES IN TRIM

With the disappearance of the first stiffness, they are surprised to find their bodies still supple; hard, regular work will do more for sag ging figures than any corset. On the other hand, work won't erase wrinkles but new interests bring life . and sparkle to eyes which had grown just a trifle dull.
 In grocery stores you can often pick up cooking hint from the motherly person who is taking care of your order; she is usually ready with an alternative idea if you ask for something which happens to be out of stock.
 In offices they are always willing to take orders from much younger women and in countless instances you find them soon "mothering" the entire staff, from the boss to the office boy.
 They never snap back at you: sometimes they are almost humble, as if apologizing for their years. But people with an eye on the future see these older women playing as important part in the reconstruc- tion that will come with peace as they are now playing in the war ef- fort.
 Few will be content to return to the humdrum existence they had before. Little Tommy's measles or housekeeping troubles will no longer be hte sole subject of conversation; they will bring to the family circle, from their wartime contact with the outside world, a broader vision and more generous understanding, be- sides accumulating interests which will see them through old age.

THEY TAKE PRIDE
 IN WORKING WE'LL

Sometimes the women over 40 are slower than slip of thing of IS. But when Mother" takes the trouble to learn a process, she re- members it, and she takes tremen- dous pride in doing it well.
 Even employers who were the most refractory to the idea of em- ploying over-40's are amazed at their deftness and accuracy. They find older women less tempera- mental, less bothered by ideas of romance, more willing to take hint or accept criticism.
 Haven't they been doing just that for the twenty, sometimes thirty, years of their married life?
 And as for management, most people overlook the fact that an average day with housewife is a complicated jigsaw puzzle of fitting things in" as well as having good idea of time, despite all unforeseen happenings.

LIFE BEGINS AT 40 FOR ENGLISH SEEKING JOBS IN EMPIRES WAR
BY ROsETTE HAkGROYE ] NEA Service Stan CdrespOndenf

London Total war has smashed down the barriers here that pre- vented women over 70 from getting jobs.
 Business and industry need them in ever-growing numbers not only for war production, but also to i'll the posts left vacant by younger girls-at store counters, running ele- vators, and doing clerical workLwho have gone into the services or to better paying jobs.
 Not only have nearly aH employ CTS started hiring the older women, but the government has announced women up to 45 have to register and that the country s aAedss may even reach out to women Of 50.
 Even up to last. year, employers started baking excuses when women past 40 applied for jobs but that was before they had been given fair test. Many firms today not only hire women over 40, but over 50 and SO as we'll.
