haven't got that much sense.
Maybe, when you read this,

OH. WELL, / can change the
subject, and talk about stained
glass windows, or about a
chorus girl who is a licensed
barber.
TAKE THE stained glass
window. Out at the Nardin
Park Methodist Church, one OF
the big and influential congre-
cations of Detroit. they are
planning some windows. includ-
ing a peace window 10 honor
the young men who have Of
fered their lives or have given
their lives for America.
There IL something appeal
ingly sane about that. In war
time. people think only in terms
OF hate or. at best, in terms OF
how fast the enemy can be de-
stroyed-which IL hate with the
emotion strained out OF IL.
And Vet, peace II the .imPeF-
tant thing. the thing we all for
get, and I should like TO give
my congratulations TO the per-
son who thought Of the peace
window. He's man with
balanced mind.
HOWEVER. SOME OF the
church people. cycling the cost
of the windows. began 10 ask:
why can't We do something
for the young people Instead:
There's a matter Of Juvenile de-
linquency, YOU know"
That's true. When this group.
the younger parents mainly.
took their contention 20 the
church elders the reply was
that they didn want 20 give up
the windows but perhaps both
could be done. Would the dis
senterS form a committee and
make some recommendations?
THAT'S HOW II stands right
now. The general intention IL
10 cooperate with the munic-
ipal recreation department to
provide recreation for children
Of the district and possibly a
sort of canteen for children
after school. one group for
children from 10 10 or 80.
another for the age group from
II or ~ up.
II sounds To III like fine
thing. A number of churches
already are adopting similar
programs, and where could YOU
get better leadership than To
have the churches heading the
war on delinquency
For the churches touch every
one, the rich. the poor and the
in-betwecn and 20 strike war
time delinquency, In varying
forms, in all classes.
AS TO the chorus girl bar
Der. we tried. some time ago.
10 find out whether there were
any women BARRIERS. They
seemed TO be scarce.
Now, we've learned that a
Miss Toni Sax. who is dancing
at the Casanova. one Of the
downtown night clubs. is lar
Der by profession and dancer
because her feet itch
She's a Toronto girl whose
father runs a barber shop IN
Queen street. He sent his three
daughters. all pretty young
'uns, 10 barber college and they
all went TO work in his shop.
ANYWAY, WHILE two of the
sisters stick to the clippers and
combs, Toni persistently wants
to try something else. She has
been n furrier, hairdresser and
waitress. and worked In toy
factories and silk factories.
She got into the night club
business "because IL seemed
like the best way To travel--I
wanted TO see the states" She
says she "just went and APP
piled for a job In Toronto and
got t."
II never had had any train
ing as a dancer but ! just
seemed TO have rhythm natu-

PRESUMABLY, SHE'LL go
back to barbering as soon as
she's seen enough Of the United
States.

says, 81 always seem 10 20 back
TO dads shop, 80 I suppose 1
will again"
We asked her whether she
wasn't annoyed by too many
young men trying to date her
up, so she let us in on secret.

shop, right under dads nose.
as il is in the night clubs, she
