HOME FRONT FORECAST
This Summers Campers May
Actually Have To Trough It"
BY BETTY MACDONALD
(NEA staff Correspondent

Washington, May 3-Therell be
no more Spoon-fed camping for the
city folks, once the dwindling sup
ply Of luxury camping equipment
disappears. Instead, vacationists will
have to rough it. and even Boy and
Girl Scouts will have TO give up
their beloved Scout knives, khaki
uniforms, canteens.
Among the camping equipment
already scarce on store shelves
are the following items: hunting
knives, cook kits, canteens, locker
trunks, metal mirrors, canvas KNAPP
sacks. ammunition, fishing gear.
Even the all-important mosquito
net has gone to war and campers
will have TO rely on citronella and
insect sprays.
Meanwhile, OPA has announced
a plan TO allow small summer
camps and campers TO get rationed
foods in advance, due TO transpor-
tation difficulties and long distances
from markets. Applications for ad-
vances in food must be made by
camp proprietors through local ra-
ton boards, and campers can re-
fund the stamps on their arrival.
The ONCE of Defense Transpor-
alton has OK'd summer travel as
necessary relaxation for adults,

GAMBLE ON BIDDING
MCKINNEY ADVISES
BY WILLIAM f. MCKINNEY

Before reading today's article.
look at the North hand. You are
playing with q partner whose OPEN
ing no trump bids mean a pretty
good hand. What would you bid
over one no trump? Bear in mind
that regardless OF the number of
hearts Or clubs you bid, he will al
ways be able to overcall with no
trump.
I believe you should try to tell
your partner the whole story in
one bid. If you make a forcing
bid, you will give an erroneous pic
ture of the hand and your partner
is sure to end up by playing 1t at no
trump. If you bid four hearts, he
may pass the hand. This type Of
hand may be dealt to you only once
In a lifetime, so it calls for a little
gambling.
The best bid in my opinion IS
six hearts. Now your partner
knows you do not want 1t played
at no trump, otherwise you would
have made a constructive bid in a
lower range. He knows that you do
not have a solid side suit; therefore
he should pass the siX-heart bid
East's double is subject to criti-
cism. II the six-heart bid does

fleet the lnAunece Of their former
positions.
Two general faults have been
found most prevalent. The first Is
the so-called fatigue" posture,
which includes a general slump OF
the body, as though the pull Of
gravity was too great 10 resist. The
indications are q forward head,
round shoulders, relaxed abdomen,
pelvis titled back, hollow back,
weight on one foot.
The second Is the tense military
pocture-an erroneous interpreta-
ton Of military bearing. The indi-
cations are; Unprecedented knees,
pelvis tipped forward, hollow back,
stiff shoulder girdle, weight forward
on balls of feet.
The keyword to correction Is
relax" Stand, SIT and walk tall.
Keep the weight OF the body over
the ankles, relax the shoulders and
knees.
The following general exercises,
now being used In Naval Training
School corrective classes, can be
done by any woman at home or In
the gymnasium.

There is q book Just out,
Wanted: Women in War Indus
try" which leads a woman step by
step from the home or office into
the factory.
1t is a practical book, telling
her what war plant jobs are open
to women, the aptitudes needed
to perform them, how to get o
job and what to expect of fac
tory life.
The book, which doesn't glamor-
lac factory work, will be a
challenge to some women to help
win the war by becoming skilled
workers. 1t will scare some wo-
men to death.
For the jobs all sound like
WORK.
WORTHY OF RESPECT
So if you are toying with the
idea of getting a war plant job,
without ever having seen the in
side of a factory or having met a
woman welder, it might be a
good idea for you to read Wanted
Women in Industry
If 1t doesn't do anything else
for you, it will make you re-
spect the women who are hold
ing down war jobs 1t may even
make you have so much respect
for them and what they are ac-
complishing that you will become

more satisfying to have u hearty
