A Red Cross sewing and knitting

Club: Mrs. j. S. Stormont, Mari
eta Park Club. and Mrs. G. G.
Sward, Takoma Park Woman's
Club, who was the guest speaker.
Mrs. Sward approved the idea OF
club presidents exchanging visits
during the present emergency
when organizations are presented
almost daily with new problems
connected with the war effort.
The exchange of ideas from such
meetings stimulate the presidents
for increased war effort" she said,

tons will be kept alive"
Luncheon was served by men,
bers of the literature section with
Mrs. B. J. Waldo as chairman.

of Decision" given by Mrs. I. M.
Cakes, reader advisor of the Mount
Pleasant Library, who was pre-
scented by Mrs. r. K. Bailey.

Army Takes Best Workers,

COCHRAN, Ga, March 5.-Crit-
icizing "indiscriminate drafting of
experienced and skilled farm labor,
E. B. Weatherly, operator of one
of the largest livestock farms in
the Southeast, said today he doubted
if the people would forgive any
administration that causes, through
bungling or otherwise, a serious
food shortage"
Thirty-fve boys left Bleckley
County this week for induction into
the Army, Mr.. Weatherly said,
adding that Is of the number were
from farms.
1T can be inferred that similar
ratio of farm youths are being
drafted into the service throughout
the farming sections he added.
Mr.. Weatherly, who operates
5,0OO-acre farm devoted to pure bred
livestock, said an experienced farm
youth rs worth twoscore of the
proposed soldier segments or city
bred men, women or boys" that may
be sent to farms.
Such inexperienced people may
be of some help in gathering some
types of crops, but almost useless in
planting and cultivating crop, or
bedding and feeding livestock"

The arrival of the Thomson pair
in Sweden Is taken as an indication
that the Nazis intend to make a
more vigorous diplomatic drive on
that neutral country. The Swedes
have been courageous in maintain
ing their independence Of thought.
The Swedish press on the whole has
been neutral and unbiased. And
though Germany has been the prin-
cipal Swedish economic outlet the
Swedes have insisted on maintain
ing their complete freedom of &C
ton.
This attitude has long been irritat-
ing to the Nazis. Now that they are
suffering military reverses 1t has be-
come even less palatable. 1t is
believed here that Herr Thomson
whose diplomatic technique is we'll

of the subversive elements in the

DR.: McHdle Visions War
Creating Need for Women

AS the war has created increasing
need for women scientists, women S
colleges and universities have ex-
banded curricula to meet the emer-
gency and provide training in a
variety of scientific fields, DR.. Kath-
ryn McHale told members of the
Twentieth Century Club yesterday.
DR.. McHale, director general OF
the American Association of Univer-
sity Women, emphasized the i'm
portance of qualified young women
remaining in colleges and univer-
sites as long as it is possible in
order to complete their education IN
selected professions.
Those of you who have daughters
or granddaughter should endeavor
to keep young women with ability in
college as long as possible" she said,
"and give them background of the
sciences, the humanities and social
sciences. One can only get so far
with a moderate amount of train
ing" she continued.

"The nation at war is bankrupt in
regard to physicists" she added. "A
nation cannot run without physi-
cists, mathematician and engineers.
There are other fields too numerous
to mention, such as psychologists,
chemists. pharmacists and thera-
pists, both physical and vocational.
In therapy there is a big field both
now and in the future. In fact,
women scientists are needed in all
categories to replace men who have
entered the armed forces"
College curricula have kept apace
with the Nations speeded industrial
program, DR.. McHale said. Extra
curricular activities have been
largely eliminated to enable STU
dents to concentrate on specialized
studies, she added. In addition, the
college course is "all year around"
now enabling students to complete

Without Boyer, this foundation
never could have been started. He
purchased the charming building
which is its headquarters. He
bought the land. He donated 600
books from his own library. He
gave the funds by which the re-
mainder of the volumes were OBJ
tanned in New York and Los Angeles.
His money has been the only money
involved. And the reason for it is
that, to Boyer, France is still France,
regardless of invasion America is
the temporary storehouse of its
ancient cultural wealth.
1t would be pleasure to work in
the foundations library. A green
walled entrance hall leads into the
enormous room of bookshelves. The
woodwork is birch. The curtains are
manufactured monkscloth. Deep,
beige covered chairs and sofas are
scattered about. And, most import
ant, there are ash trays. Research
men are encouraged to light up.
Boyer wanted it that way; he smokes
constantly himself.
The subject matter of the library
covers literature, poetry, religion,
the theater, the arts, fashions, cos
tunes and architecture. This is
contained both in books and in old
prints. The former go back as far
as 1900, the latter to 1900 It's
bound volumes of ILLUSTRATION
include the first copy of the mag
azine ever printed. It's date was
1843.
Though the library is not yet
finished it is constantly assisting
the motion picture companies in the
preparation of pictures with French
backgrounds These fall into two
classes: Period pictures like 1.-THE
Phantom of the Opera" and films
dealing with Free France and the
underground. Material about
present-day France comes from
documents smuggled out of Occu-
pied France and printed in Free
French newspapers. The founda-
ton also talks to members of the
underground for further details.
In the future the library will also
be open to universities and colleges
for research purposes.
The acting director of the foun-
dation is Andre David, a noted
French poet and writer, who
formerly was the head of Les Con-
ferences des Ambassadors" a lee
ture forum in Paris. Churchill,
Herriot, Anthony Eden, Maurois,
Thomas Mann, Emil Ludwig and
Stefan Zweig spoke under his aus
pices. He left France a few jumps
ahead of the Nazis after seeing
several of his books banned by the
Germans.

of the foundation. After the war
it is planned to enlarge the quar-
ters, creating an auditorium con-
nected to the library by gallery.
In this hall important Frencllmen
will speak. The gallery will be used
for exhibition of French painting
and sculpture.
The French Research Foundation
is connected with "L'Ecole Libre
des Hautes Etudes" in New York,
new school for research under the
leadership of some of the most
brilliant French and Belgian minds.
At present, through the foundation,
Boyer has donated five scholarships
to this school and has obtained five
more from his friends. The recipi-
ents will study the history of the

Freddie" and the Americans. rather
more surprisingly, did the same. The
bomber was discussed in terms more
often used for Oracle Fields or the
late Marie Dressler. 1t gave a diff
ferent note to the chatter one heard
In night clubs, or wherever it was
that one was accustomed to con-
versing. There was something good
about it, and the people who talked
like that seemed better than when
they were their usual selves.
IF for Freddie" looked unchal-
lengeably like the airplane of the
war, the one that would be remem-
bered when the others were for
gotten.
Freddie's position is not exactly
jeopardized all of a sudden, but
there are indications that he is
about to have some competition. 1t
will be that provided by Mary Ann. .
g1rllshly named bomber who makes
the fascinating heroine of Air
Force" Hollywood's dramatic con-
tribution to the colossal aviation
story now being written.
Mary Ann" patiently is Freddie's
equal in her murderous defense of
freedom. She is his equal, too, in
all the other forceful qualities that
you might not associate with an
airplane named Mary Ann. What
she does to the Japs is marvelously
unladylike from the time she takes
off one night from San Francisco
until she lands, many bombings
later, a well-riddled hulk on a
friendly beach in Australia.
The two planes should duel very
ruggedly for the distinction of being
the outstanding ones of the war.
IF for Freddie" has the advan-
tage of having been in a strictly
documentary film, a brief, much less
scopish piece of movie making.
Mary Ann" covers much more air
and water in a less documentary
looking movie. In doing so she re-
sembles a composite or more fic-
tional heroine. But she is capable,
never the less of putting up a great
fight even with "F for Freddie"
And should the battle ever become
too heated there is always the point
that they both are on our side.
