He said the Germans had
brought in Dutch, Belgians and
Norwegians as well as Germans to
level these villages. The able

ported to Germany for forced labor
and the aged and sick sent to con-
lcentration camps, he asserted.
Polish patriot resistance, how
ever, only became more intense,
the deputy premier said. While
lorganized guerrillas fought pitched
battles with German soldiers and
burned villages in which Germans
had been settled. other patriots
lwho escaped into the forests were
sniping against the German troops
and raiding their communication

Runs Millinery
Shop for Dolls

Virginia Evans, 13, ran a millinery
shop for dolls last summer, and
when she was through she found
she had made nearly 81.
At her home in Anderson, Ind,
Virginia set up her shop. But let
her tell 1t:
Il saved every cracker box !
could get. Out Of these I cut my
brims for the hats. For a penny a
sheet, bought crepe paper of every
dainty color, and with this I covered
the cracker box brim, and then
frilled piece of the paper which
made the top Of the hat. Then !
took contrasting colors and made
small bows to trim my hats.
Some had flowers on them, and
some had ribbon streamers. I made
cowboy hats for boy dolls, dressy
ones for ordinary dolls. and even
frilly baby bonnets for baby dolls.
My hats ranged in price from
cents to 10 cents, according to the
amount Of work they required. I
started on small scale at first and
sold to the girls Of our neighbor-
hood, but they told others, and
later often got orders for a
specially made hat. 1t was lots Of
fun and very interesting"

Some Helpful Suggestions
For That Valentine PARTY
BY KATHERINE HOUISON.

Here's an unusually effective table
arrangement for your Valentine
party. Use red crepe paper cloth,
with an angel food cake frosted IN
White for the centerpiece. Decorate
,e cake with red candy hearts and
s large red candle in the hole in
the center. Place it on large heart
cut from gold paper.
For place cards, use small gold
hearts with the names in red-col-
ored alphabet noodles, and put a
tiny birthday candle at the tip of
each heart. Narrow white ribbon or
paper Streamers can connect the
place cards with the centerpiece for
added effect.
If you prefer flower centerpiece
here's different idea:
Use white cloth. Take a glass
pie plate and cut any red flowers off
short-geraniums are fine for this
and easy to get. Mass them in the
pie plate to form a red heart shape
using a narrow strip of red card
board cemented to the plate to hold
them in shape. You can put a paper
frill all around this, using lace paper
doilles cut in sections and pasted to
the cardboard. Lacey-edgcd shelf
paper or plain white crepe paper is
good, too
For refreshments, try letter"

Some were drawn by Gov. Whitten.
There is a big white puppet theater,
called Town Hall, and a movie
theater. The citizens of Hiland are

The name of the magazine Is HI

foreign news and many other in
teresting features. such as roll OF
honor, timely hints on the best
movies. stirring message from the
governor, a death notice column, ex-
cellent book reviews and a snappy

Gov. Harvey has published l3 is
sues of this magazine. the size OF
which ranges from four to 26 pages.
His brother is the country'S official
printer. The governor has picture
making set, but prefers to draw the
illustrations for his magazine be-
cause art is one Of his many
hobbies. Friends from other coun-
tries often come over to read the
Hiland.
Hiland was made a free country
in 1910, and since then 1t has sent
much help to our Allies, such as
groceries. 1000 men and many other
things needed to win this war.

the shelf which supports the bottom
Of the cart box.
The cart box can be made from
plywood, or heavy cardboard of the

banana or vegetable basket can be
used, or an orange crate can be re-
built to make an excellent, light

The dimensions for a suitable cart

Attach the cart box to the wheel

Is held securely to the tongue bar.
A leather strap or screw or thumb
button at this point will allow the
box to be removed from the wheel
frame when carrying load of gro

Brace the box shelf securely with
triangular blocks Of wood nailed to
the underside of the shelf, then at

that is theirs.
On the other hand, there are those
who do not enlist in the fighting
forces, but take their part in the
fight for freedom by taking the
places of men who are drafted. They
leave school to work in factories and
offices. Uncle Sam needs all the
manpOWer he can get, and many
high school students help to supply
1t.
For those who wish to remain in
high school, there are various ways
to do their bit. They are taught
how to make model airplanes for the
air forces. for Use in teaching the
men to distinguish between friendly
and enemy craft. They can work
for the Red Cross and other civilian
defense organizations after school,
and, most important of all, they can
join the High School Victory Corps
This organization has been intro
duced in all the high schools in the
country in order to allow the STU
dents to do war work in one way or
another. In applying for member
ship, one must make this pledge:
I'm making this application.
pledge myself, if accepted for men,
bershlp, to strive to be worthy of
wearing the general insignia of the
Victory Corps. I will efficiently per
form any community war services
within the limits of my ability and
experience, and I will diligently
seek to prepare myself for future
service, whether in the armed
forces, IN war production or in es-
sential civilian occupations"
There are five divisions of the
corps. These are land, sea, COM
munity, production service and gen.
eral membership. Every high school
student can apply for general men,
bership, but for the other divisions
there are certain requirements as
to the number of years of science
and mathematics student has
had. All the divisions require par
ticipation in program of physical
fitness and military drill. Thus the
high schools are going to enlarge
their physical education program to
enable every one to meet the re-
quirements Of the Victory Corps.
The uniform for the girls Is a
white blouse, navy blue skirt and
navy blue cap with the division
insignia on it. The boys wear white
shirts, navy blue pants and the
same caps as the girls.
In many schools these Victory
Corps already have been fully es-
tablished and are doing fine jobs in
their communities. They help by
carrying messages, collecting scrap
and doing many other things. Be-
longing to this organization means
work, but that isn't keeping students
from joining up. They want to help
in this war, if only to prepare them
selves for the enormous task they
will have to shoulder after it has
been won
1t will be up to the youth of the
Nation to carry on. 1t Is up to the
schools to prepare thsm for this.
