And speaking of bedsprings, the
WPB survey Of sleeping equip
ment reveals that manufacturers
are turning out enough sleeping
equipment to meet civilian needs
despite manpower shortage, gov
eminent restrictions on critical
materials and demands from the
armed forces. Since innerspring
mattresses are out for the dura-
ton, manufacturers have started
using layer on layer of fine cotton
and find they turn out firm and
resilient products. Of course, fill
ings other than cotton felt are
not used very much.
The day may come when typ
lists will be winding their own new
ribbons on the old spools in their
typewriters. But the WPB says
that one way of keeping that day
in the distance is to save used rib
bon spools and turn them in when
buying ribbons. And when you do,
be careful not to warp or bend the
spool. Because of the shortage of
metal, the steel for production
of typewriter spools has been cut
in half ~.

Christian FelIowships
Plan Joint Meetings

Plans for a Joint party with the
Michigan Christian Fellowship in
Ann Agbor, were made by student
members OF the Huron Christian
Fellowship in their meeting Thurs
day evening at Starkweather Hall.
Miss Roselynne Tonge. Port Huron,

Alma Clippard, Flint, food; Miss
Ruth Campbell. Ypsilanti, publicity:
Miss Edith Foulk, Reading, and
Miss Dorothy Griswold, Clio, enter
tainment.
During the discussion period, led
by Mrs. Beatrice Hildebrandt, three
types OF haryests were mentioned.
The first, the Great Harvest, is to
be found in Luke 1872, it was
brought out. and the second, the
Ripe Harvest. is in Joel 3:1-l3. The
third. the White Harvest. is great
est OF all, it was brought out, be-
cause it is the harvest OF the souls
OF men.
In speaking OF the White Harvest,
Mrs. Hildebrandt quoted from John
4:35, saying "And Jesus said there
are four months, then cometh the
harvest, behold say unto you, then
lift up your eyes; and look unto
the fields for they are white, ready
TO harvest"

Goldfeather, Viventes
Hear Mrs n. Britton

Unless already experienced in fly
ing women can do little today to
aid in the war effort in aviation,
women students Of the Goldfeather
and Viyentes Clubs were told
Thursday evening, when they were
addressed by Mrs. H. B. Britton. on
the subject, Women in Aviation. "
The one way in which they might
be OF help today, she stated, is in
groundwork, instructing classes in
meteorology, physics, mathematics,
weather, and similar studies. After
this war is over, the speaker stated,
women for the most part Will be
forced TO confine their interest in
flying to that OF an ayocation, rath-
er than along vocational lines, be-
cause OF the severe competition
which will result from the great
number OF eXpertly trained men
filters. Mrs. Britton also discussed
the so-called "fliyver' planes which
will probably result from this war,
and said that planes will be mex
pensiye.
Before the talk, members OF Vi.
yeutes, club for freshman women.
held a short business meeting in
Starkweather Hall, with Miss Jean
Black, Detroit presiding. Plans
were made for Viyentes tea, which
will be this Sunday. Miss Ann Nc
Cauley, Detroit, will be chairman
OF the tea.
