Need for Nursery Schools
Rising; Mrs. Whitehurst SAYS
BY Frances Lide.

| Nursery schools. with trained
| supervisors in charge, should be
made part of elementary school
systems in this country If additional
mothers of young children are to
| go into industry, Mrs John L. White
hurst, president of the General Fed
Grafton of Womens Clubs, said on
/ her return to headquarters here
! this week after a stay of five and
! half weeks in England.
Mrs. Whitehurst, who was a guest
of the British government. said that
the emergency problem of the care
of children had been met "magnifi-
/ Gently" in England, largely with
volunteer help in private homes.
But from my contact with women
in all parts of this country. I am
convinced that many of them will
be reluctant to go into industry on
that basis" she declared.
Mrs. Whitehurst suggested that
the older girls in elementary grades
and high school students could
serve as aides" to the trained super
/
supplement the professional staff in
the schools she recommends.
The teaching of homemaking and
mothercraft could be combined un-
der such a system" she added.
The General Federation president
emphasized that she felt such nurs-
cries should be inaugurated at once
IF we are to place an additional
million women in industry without
conscription,' she explained, places
must be provided to take care of the
children. And I don't think it can
be done successfully here on volun-
teer basis"
A private audience with the Queen
at Buckingham Palace was one of
the high lights of Mrs. Whitehurst's
visit. The Queen asked her many
questions, Mrs. Whitehurst reported,
and was particularly interested in
the American visitors reaction to
what she saw in England. For one
thing, she wanted to know If I
thought the children looked WELL"
Mrs. Whitehurst said She was
very grateful for what Americans
had done for the children and for
the families 'blitzed' out of their
homes"
The federation president spent
part of her time in Scotland and
the Queen seemed delighted to hear
about her visit there, Mrs. White
hurst said.
Mrs Whltehurst also met num-
Der of important figures from var
ious countries at luncheons and din
nerS at which she was entertained in
London. Such affairs are very popu-
lar. she found, in spite of food diff
culties. for they provide Just about
the only opportunity for busy people
to get togecher.
Most of her time, however, was
spent studying such subjects as COM
munal feeding and women in in
dustry
She expressed great admiration
for the British system of communal
feeding, through which three-course
meals are served for the equivalent
of % cents.
Frankly. however" she said, 81
hope that procedure is never neces-
sary here. l would dislike seeing the
American homo further broken up
| by sending all members to the res
taurants for food. In many homes,
meal time Is the only opportunity
for all members of the family to get
together"
She pointed out that the system
was necessary in England, due to
! lack of food, fuel and manpower.

All Grade LabeIinu
Requirements Ended,
.0PA Announces

All grade Labelling requirements in
OPA regulations have been repealed
since the Taft amendment to the
Emergency Price Control Act be-
came law recently. the OPA an
nounced today.
The agency said that about %
regulations had been rewritten in
line with the amendment prohibit
ing grade labelling as a feature OF
price control. Alternative provi-
sions, permitted under the new law,
have been substituted.
Invoice May Give Grades.
In some cases producers and
wholesalers are permitted to indicate
the grade of their product on the
invoice rather than on the item IT.
self. Other provisions call for the
use OF descriptive label to indicate
the contents of the goods. but with
out reference to grade. In one in
stance, womens rayon hosiery.
regulation was issued yesterday pro-
viding that ceiling price differentials
must be based on grade, but the
hosiery itself need not be marked
specifically as to grade.
The changes affect such products
as beef. veal, lamb, mutton, variety
meats and sausage, butter, eggs,
canned fruits and vegetables, dry
edible beans. peanuts, bed linens.
antifreeze, rubber heels, Southern
pine lumber, prime grade hardwood
logs, paper and hurley tobaccos.
Grading and grade labelling pro-
visions in respect to beef, veal, lamb
and mutton, the OPA said, have
been continued under a special or
der issued by the ONCE of Economic
Sterilization to maintain effective
retail price control. However, in
stead of separating and identifying
grades in his showcase, the dealer
now Is required merely to separate
the different grades.
Dealers May Use Labels.
The OPA actions in repeating
Labelling requirements do not
necessarily remove all labels nor do
they prohibit sellers from using
grade labels II they care to use
them. 1t was pointed out that deal
ers in certain products may want
to label their goods II 1t comes UP
to specifications required for the
highest grades.
In the case of rayon hosiery, while
grade labelling as such is no longer
required. the maximum price at
which retailers will be allowed to
sell their goods will indicate to the
consumer whether the product falls
under grade A or grade B.
The end Of grade labelling came
after long controversy in Congress
before 1t recessed. Manufacturers
and dealers, for the most part, op-
posed compulsory grade labelling,
with representatives of labor unions
and consumer groups campaigning
for its continuance.

Rabbi H. Segal, who gives the
religious services, and also by
four young volunteer USO
workers, who help with the social
and the refreshments In the mess
hall after the religious services.
An Army car takes the little
party, and by the time the five
young women and the Rabbi get
in with baskets of sandwiches
and cookies and cold soft drinks
that Army car is pretty crowded.
Sometimes Chaplain Goody OF
