briton Who Joined
u. ). Crew Lost al Sea

Seaman George r. Holder, an
English boy who grew to love
America so much he hoped to make
his home here after the war, has
gone down with his ship, fighting
under the Stars and Stripes, the
Navy Department announced today.
A native of Hull, England, Sea-
man Holder listed Thomas A. Lyons,
a close friend, as his nearest of kin
when he transferred from the
British to the United States Mer-
chant Marine. Mr.. Lyons since has
gone into the Army Air Forces and
is stationed at Fort Worth, Tex.
Mrs. Lyons today recalled that
her husband met the English sailor
at skating rink in Philadelphia
where Mr. Lyons formerly lived.
The youthful Holder looked lonely
and her husband, who is of direct
English descent, endeavored to
cheer him up. Their chance meet
ing ripened into a firm and lasting
friendship.
Mr. Holder visited the Lyons here
in June, 1912, and the following Oc-
tober they received their last letter
from him, in which he expressed
the hope of being home" with
them for Christmas last year.
An older brother of the young
man, Kenneth Holder. of the
British Merchant Marine, had a
premonition that something had
happened to him, Mrs. Lyons said
today, and on his last stop at Nor
folk telephoned to inquire if there
was any news of the missing sea-
man. At that time word that he
was missing had not been received.
But neither Mr.. or Mrs. Lyons
believe George Holder is dead. They
still have a feeling he is alive and
expect him to walk in unexpectedly
some day, perhaps when the war is
over.

By the Way
BETH BLAINE

What we really wanted to ask
Mrs. Pinckney Love was how she
managed to do all the war work
she does, run her smooth little
apartment with only the help of
q part-time maid, and look as
fresh and glowing and freshly
turned out as you'll always find
her at any hour OF the day. In
stead we just plain asked her II
she took any exercise to keep
that schoolgirl figure and COM
plexion.
Yes she does. She gives four
full days and one evening a week
to volunteer war work and she
serves on numerous advisory
boards and is a zone warden
BUT-she saves one day a week
to go to a gymnasium class and
she gives IS minutes every day to
doing few limbering-up exer-
cises and, although she didn't
say so, We suspect that she
watches her diet and eats those
necessary fruits and vegetables
that keep her looking so pretty
and feeling so well.
A lot of women in war work
forget that very important part
Of doing our bit is keeping our
selves fit. It's SO easy when
you're busy just to say you
haven't got time to exercise.
It's quicker to take a bus or a,
taxi when you're in a hurry, but
walking will make you feel a lot
better, ladies! And If you just
get the habit of setting aside that
extra time and consider it part
of your WAR WORK you'll find
that a definite health schedule
will pay you back in the richest
sort Of dividends. Too many
overtired. complaining women be-
come nuisance to themselves
and to every one around them.
There just isn't time in this busy
life to listen to peoples ailments
and when you come right down
to it, most of us haven't got time
to be ailing!
But to get back to Mrs. Love,
and just what one sensible
healthy woman is able to ac-
complish She serves at the
emergency desk Of the Red
Cross Home Service which is
where the incoming kilograms
from field directors wanting in
formation regarding service
mems families are handled. She
serves at the mail desk of home
service too, where Red Cross
mail Is assorted and checked and
assigned to case workers. She
works at the appointment desk
of the Blood Donor Center and
one night a week she and her
husband both go to the Stage
Door Canteen, he as a bus boy
and Mrs. Love as captain OF
senior hostesses for her shift.
