Sister of Henry r. Luce.
Mrs. Moore, who is the sister of
Henry r. Luce, magazine publisher,
was born in Shantung Province,
China, the daughter of the late
Presbyterian missionary, Henry w.
Luce. Before accepting her present
assignment, she served as chairman
of the New York Womens division
of United China Relief and prior to
that was chairman of the foreign
division of the YWCA, supervising
its work in So countries. Forty-tWo
centers for British women employed
on farms and in munition factories
and anti-aircraft positions were es-
tablished through the YWCA's
European War Emergency Fund,
which she headed.
The wife of lawyer, she is the
mother of two prep school boys and
understands the mans point of view
we'll enough to urge volunteer USO
workers, wherever possible. to in
clude enlisted men on their COM
mittees which plan activities.
From her visits to USO clubs from
New England to California. Mrs.
Moore has gained a knowledge of
what the country's fighting men like
to do and talk about.
Men Like to Relax
usually she reports, they just
talk about their home towns, their
high school triumphs, their sweet
hearts, their jobs, their plans for
when the war is Won But occa-
sionally they have real problems
and that is why it is important that
our trained USO staffs have steady,
wise volunteers on hand at all times.
when a man is off duty he likes
to get away from the Army, away
from the Navy. away from regimen
tation. He likes to get off the post.
OF course, in this he may be like the
schoolboy getting away from school
as fast as he can. But this is not
schoolboy stuff. The routine and dis
cipline of Army and Navy life are
deadly serious. The strain of hours
on watch at battle stations. the
tense concentration on tactics which
mean the difference between life
and death-these make leisure hours
doubly important"
An increasing number of USO
centers are being established to
provide services for women war
workers in communities where rec
reation and welfare facilities are in
adequate. Three hundred are now
operating under Mrs. Moores direc-
ton and she has given much
thought to the health of women,
both on the assembly line and at
Office desks.
Industrial and Government eXecu-
tives testify to the value of opportu-
mites offered at these clubs for
women's relaxation.
Rules for Women.
Mrs. Moore has listed few rules
which she urges women to follow:
Don't make your work harder
than it is. Relax as much as the job
permits. Don't be nervous worker.
Don't be Wastrel with your
strength. To do so is wasting po-
tential war production. just because
you are full of pep after days rest,
don't try staying up late nights or
overeXercising.
"Dor't'eat foolishly. Napoleon said
an army travels on its stomach. He
might have added that war produc-
ton reaches its goal when war
workers care for their stomach.
Don't punish your digestive systems.
Eat wisely
Don't waste off -dIlty hoJ1rs TTse
