school systems TO shame in many
respects.
GRIM LESSON
AS a kindergarten. the Armor-
cd Force Replacement Training
Center at Fort Knox is perhaps
typical Maj Gen Charles l..
Scott. who commands this school
has as his motto, e. soldier
should be taught 10 kill, and 10
get some pleasure out of it, if
possible. =
General Scott complains that
the new men coming into the
army are still too complacent,
indicating that the civilian pop
ulatlOn IS not even yet aroused
10 the realities Of this war. 1t is
the Job of the Army schools TO
instill fighting spirit into the
men.
Primary school is the i3
weeks of basic training which all
new soldiers get Then, when the
men are assigned TO divisions,
there follows the grade schooling
in the company.
The soldiers are taught all the
tricks of the trade Of war. Gen.
George G. Marshall once said
that il has taken military men
the master taCtiCians and gener-
ais who have fought all the wars
that have gone before-all these
centuries TO learn that dead or
a disabled soldier is of no use.
Generals Wantonly sacrificed
lives before. The modern doc
trine Is 10 protect the lives of the
soldiers. 10 keep them fit to
fight and keep on fighting.
To keep men fighting, they
must be given the best weapons
that can be made-WeaponS SUI
pcrior TO those of their enemies.
The weapons given this army to-
day. and the equipment, are so
vastly superior 10 those of the
last war there is no comparison.
But that leads 10 the demand for
more schooling and the training
of many specialists.

orcd Force School at Fort Knox,

seph Holly. Today, IL is the larg-

Picture Frame Style

A smart remedy for a curtain
that has become narrow and
straggly is to transform it into a
picture frame style, with a ruff
fled or pleated border edging
bottom and sides and a deeper
border for a top valance. This
will take little time, because
sewing machine attachment does
precise ruffling or pleating at
lightning speed.
Or the hemstitcher attach
ment will turn out professional
looking picot edges all around.
Ruffled tie-backs anchor cur
tains at the sides in a dramatic
way.
Another idea is 10 arrange
cut-out flower motifs of chintz
or some other fabric in a SYM
metric fashion, widely spaced,
and appliqued on the curtain.
The same make-over formula
can be applied TO bedspreads and
slipcovers alike, at small ex-
penSe.

Authority on Good Manners

WARTIME highlights certain
w details of our social lives
that we never paid enough at
tention TO in peace times.
For example, take the ques-
ton of how a married woman
correctly signs her name TO a
letter. For years a married
woman may go along signing her
name Mrs. John Smith"
instead Of the correct Mary
Brown Smith"
Then her eyes are opened TO
this mistake by a war cir
cumstance. And, to make the
right impression (Which she
should have wanted to make be-
fore), she decides TO correct
her former mistake.
Here's a letter representative
of many that tell a similar
story:

provide an entirely new color

needs replacing with new mate

Date for Draft
of Fathers is
Still Uncertain

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 - (P)
The date for drafting mar
ried men with children today
is still uncertain in the opinion
of war manpower commissioner
Paul V. McNutt.
Asked at a press conference
about the possibility that fathers
might b drafted about the mid
die Of the year McNutt said:
Il don't think il would be
wise TO excite men with children
by nameing a date no one can
be certain Of.
He said the size of the armed
forces would be one factor in
determining the date.
The VINO chief promised,
however, that men with children
would be given as much notice
as possible, and have an ele-
ment of certainty in it.
Some draft boards have been
calling married men without
children since early December
and most have notified such reg
istrants that reclassification is
under way.
