mrs. Dunbar Puts
Child Care High =
On List of Duties
Rv Frances Lide.

Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar expected
to keep busy when she returned to
Oregon two years ago after spend
ing three years in the Capital as
president OF the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs. Even Mrs.
Dunbar, however. probably didn't
realize how many jobs she would
I find to do.
| In Portland. where she has served
as executive secretary OF the Oregon
tuberculosis Association for over 20
years, Mrs. Dunbars name seems
to come up automatically when
there's a question of getting women
behind special program.
With the war calling for mobili-
zation of women on many fronts,
her hands are full these days.
About a year ago she was made
State director of the women's divi-
sion of the War Finance Commit
tee. She's also now serving as
chairman Of the Oregon State Ad-
visory Committee on Child Care,
Health and Welfare.
In addition to that she's one Of
the II nationally prominent women
on the Women's Advisory Commit
tee Of the War Manpower Commits
sion, an assignment which brings
her here from the West Coast once
q month. These trips to the Capt.
tai afford her little opportunity to
see old friends, however, for in ad-
dition to the conferences Of the
VINO Advisory Committee, she
usually works with Treasury De-
partment oficials on plans for pro-
motion OF the sale OF War bonds
and stamps.
OF her MANY jobs, she especially
Is interested in the work with the
State Advisory Committee on Child
Care, Health and Welfare. Desig-
mated as the OCD Committee on
Child Care, 1t has the responsibility
of planning for the day care of
| children and Of approving projects
| for their care financed with public
| funds.
AS an important shipbuilding
center, Portland has had an influx
Of thousands of workers from all
| over the United States, so that the
problems are many and intricate.
Twenty-three thousand women are
now working in the three shipyards
| OF the Portland area and 1t Is esti-
mated that the number will be 10000
by the first OF the year, Mrs. Dunbar
said.
To take care Of the youngsters of
women on the night shifts, some
of the nursery schools are operating
at night, with arrangements made
for the children to go to bed there,
she reported. Nursery school age
youngsters by no means constitute
the entire problem, however. Pro-
| vision had to be made for school,
age children in their free hours.
To help meet this situation, Port
land schools are opening their build
ings as recreational centers, with
the teachers serving as a staf to
supervise their activities.
In many instances, she reports,
there is apathy on the part of par
ents to use such facilities. Many
Of the mothers take jobs without
working out in advance all the plans
that are necessary II their house
holds are to be kept running In
their absence" she explained. Tor
that reason it's very important to
set up a consultation service at the
place where the job is let Mothers
have to think, for instance, how
they are going to shop and how
they will get their laundry done.
Portland is so crowded that we have

Cross already has an extensive
list of them-but to get the au-
diences.
She contacts local clubs, organ
izations, all sorts OF groups in
terested in hearing what the
American Red Cross is doing all
over the world. This month, for
instance, all the department
stores were contacted so that
their employees may hear these
interesting and vivid talks, too.
Mrs. Norman herself speaks
charmingly. She has lots of per-
sonality, is vivacious and natural
and gay, and as the radio folk
say, she has a voice with a smile.
She was born in Chicago, married
her West Point husband in
Evanston, H., and, like most
Army wives, has lived all over the
United States.
Right now Col. Norman Is on
duty for the Army Ground Forces
at the War College here and he

did book reviews for one of the
Chicago papers, feature articles
for another. When in Honolulu
she did a social column for one
of the Honolulu papers.
She wrote some verse for a
trade magazine and got paid for
1t, too, she says. She thinks that's
the thing that impresses her most
Of anything she has done, she
says-to have gotten paid for
writing verse.
Wherever the Normans have
been stationed, Mrs. Norman has
kept up her dramatic work. All
together she has put on over Is
amateur plays. shows for women's
clubs, etc. When in Fort Bragg,
which was the Norman's last post
before coming here, Mrs. Norman
was program chairman Of the
Fort Bragg Women's Club.
She did considerable war work
at Fort Bragg, too, although that
was some time before Pearl Har-
Dor (the Normans arrived in
Washington on Pearl Harbor
day.. She worked with the pro-
duction unit at Fort Bragg and
also took preliminary Gray
Lady course. When she came to
Washington, Mrs. Norman took
the Red Cross first aid, nutrition

you do here in Washington"

RAF Resumes Heavy Raids
BY JOSEPH w. GREGG

London, Aug. 9-(UP)-Thunder ous explosions off the French coast, reminiscent of the terrific British bombing onslaught against the in- vasion ports three years ago. shook southeast England today after big formations of Allied bombers and fighters swept across the channel.
 The explosions continued for some minutes. They came from the direc- tion of the Boulogne district, where considerable columns of smoke were seen.
 Observers on the southeast coast were unable to determine what caused the explosions, but said they sounded like heavy bombs. They were both heard and felt along the English coast. Doors and windows, and even entire buildings, vibrated.
 The mass movement of Allied planes over the southeast coast marked a full dress resumption of the air offensive against the Ger man-held continent.
 Observers in southeast England saw powerful fleets of bombers and fighters strikindg out over the water in the direction of the French coast.
 The daylight operations closely followed offensive sweeps by British fighter planes which sank a Ger man motor torpedo boat off Bel gium and hit eight locomotives and the Polk air field in northern France. One fighter was lost.
 Poor visibility was reported over the continent and it was believed that the big four-engined bombers of the RAF and RCAF were idle after four straight nights of raids on Germany and Italy. Only one enemy plane flew over Germany last night, German broadcast said, and it was shot down.
 Radio Budapest said that air raid alarms were sounded in three Hun garian cities yesterday when "Bri- tish planes" crossed the country, but there were no reports of any

Conferences In Quebec Give Axis Headache
By MERRIMAN SMITH Jnited Press Staff COrresDOndcnt)

(Unltcd HrcSS Stan correspondent
 Quebec, Que, Aug. 19 - (U.P)-- President Roosevelt and Prime Min ister Churchill, along with British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and Secretary of State Cordell Hull, were parties today to a plan to con fuse the Axis and accomplish their objectiVes behind screen of un- bridled speculations.
 Decisions of the greatest import ance were being made in the heavily protected citadel. And the principals were only too happy to see the Axis squirming in uninformed discom- fort over what activation of the plans being made here will mean to the German and Japanese armies and conquests.
 Some tangible information on the conferences will be made available today by White House Press Secre- tary Stephen T. Early after he con- ferS with Brenden Bracken, head of the British ministry of information.
 Full Scale Invasion
 This much was certain: The deci- sions of the Quebec conferences will be manifest only on the battle fields of the world, probably soon. It was generally accepted here that these manifestations would be a full scale invasion of Europe
 Eden arrived here late yesterday by clipper plane from London. Bracken was with him. Hull Eden's opposite number, is expected to join him at the guarded Chateau From tenac momentarily.

Stress Need Of 2 Fronts
By HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff COrrcsDOndent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 London, Aug. l9.-(UP)-If Presi- dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill decide against a major second front operation this year, in- formed persons in London believe there will be major repercussions throughout Europe.
 The Russians already have made 1t eloquently plain that anything less than an attack diverting 60 German divisions-one-q quarter 10 one-third of Nazi strength on the Russian front-will be regarded with coolnesS.
 Effects are likely to be strong in occupied countries where the pop ulace has been living increasingly on the hope of major Allied of- fenSive.
 There also is the fact that iE such countries as France, the under ground movement is existing with increasing difficulty due to mass deportations.
 It is most likely that the consid- erable psychological edge which the Allies now hold against the satel- lites would be blunted If present successes were not followed Up by most energetic operations.
 The basic strategic decision which faces the prime minister and MT. Roosevelt is in which theater the next major Allied punch is going to be delivered.

Reds Resume Big Attack
--(NEA Telephoto)
By HENRY SHAPIRO United Press Staff Correspondent

Moscow, Aug. 19.-CUP) P)-Russian troops have smashed and occupied the main German defense line along the right bank of the Donets river Is miles south of Kharkov, front dispatches said today.
 The Russians, resuming their general advance on the Kharkov front after breaking Axis counter aJCaCks in some Of the 1iercest fight ing of the summer campaign, also swept across the Vorskla river, tributary of the Dnieper, captured Oposhnaya and pressed on to a point only 21 miles north of the big German base of Poltava.
 The Russian advance south of Kharkov engulfed the town of Zmiev and frightened the Soviet strangle- hold of Kharkov, RuSsia's fourth largest city. Only nine miles away lay the kharkov- -LaZovaya railroad, with branch line running to Dniep- erpetrovsk the only escape route for the Kharkov garrison.
 The capture of Oposhnaya, 70 miles west Of Kharkov, cut the sec- ond of four railroads radiating from Poltava approximately half way between Kharkov and the Dnieper river. The main railroad from Khal kov already has been severed.
 The Russian offensive in this sec tor, as well as southeast and south of Kharkov, had been halted tenn porarily by heavy German counter attacks that for a time threatened to become a full-fiedged counter offensive, but determined Soviet r,~ sistance smashed every thrust and enabled Red army columns to re- Sume their general advance.
 Reports reaching London said the Germans threw 100000 troops into Il futile attempt to re-capture the entire length of the Kharkov- Poltava railroadJ
 Overrun 50 Towns
 More than 50 towns and villages on the Kharkov-Poltava front were
