WE, THE WOMEN
-WE,T THE WOMEN
War Wages Can't Make Up
For Neglecting a Child

There just isn't any way a
mother can pay youngster for
shifting him off on someone else.
And the months or years, when
his mother puts a job ahead of
his care and welfare are months
and years that can't be relived.
A child may develop sense
of insecurity in that time that
he never outgrows. He may get
into serious trouble. His health
may be so neglected that it is
ruined for the rest of his life.
There Is only one consoling
thought in this whole problem OF
women getting jobs at the ex-
pense of their young children,
and that is this:
SOME MUST WORK
The mother to whom pay
check looks better than her own
child's welfare and health could
not have been much of mother
in the first place, so the child
isn't giving up a really good
mother.
None of this, of course, applies
to the mother who must work in
order to feed her children.
1t does apply to the mothers OF
small children who are working
for the extras" pay check will

Back Yard" Fish Ponds Urged
To Alleviate The Food Shortage
BY BETTY MACDONALD
NEA staff Correspondent

Washington, June 25 - Take one
acre Of land preferably a slight
ravine), a uniform water supply, a
depth of about feet, fill well, add
commercial or organic fertilizer,
plant 100 bass, 1900 Dream and
you've got a pond capable of sup
plying the family with 100 pounds
of fish annually.
Backyard" fish ponds in rural
areas is a project that Department
of Agriculture officials are pushing
as one means of beating the grow
ing food problem, and as a source
of recreation.
Ponds can easily be constructed
and can be a neighborhood pro-
ject, agriculturists point out. To
further educate farmers and coun-
try jewellers in the benefit of back
yard fish ponds, experts have just
completed a study and drawn it up
in a pamphlet form, available to
anyone who cares to write in to the
department in Washington.

therefore knew that the slam was
impossible. When East bid five
spades, South made what looked
like a good double. If North, with
his poor cards, had not been alert,
the contract could have been made.
The opening diamond lead was
ruffed by the declarer, who then
led the ace of trumps. When South
played the queen, East was uncer-
tain whether or not the spades
were split two-two, SO at this point
he led the ace of clubs and followed
with the jack. South won the second
club with the king. Here North
made his smart play, dropping the
queen of clubs on South's king.
The declarer had been planning
to ruff club, but when North's
queen dropped, he was certain that
South must have held originally
the king, eight and four Of clubs.
So when East got in, instead of

Household Hints
DUTCH TREAT

When taking inventory Of your
household goods, with an eye to
salvaging some that would ordinar-
lily be consigned TO the ragbag, one
Of the first things to consider is
your bed sheets.
The best testing" plan for
salvaging a worn sheet is to hold
it up TO the light. There, you
quickly can see where the tensile
strength is still intact. Usually,
the good parts are found along
the sides, top and bottom-parts
which are usually tucked under
the mattress
Along these sections, you can
frequently salvage strips at least
20 inches wide which are much
too good for dust cloths and are
easy to convert into practical,
charming little garments for
youngsters. These tricks of make
over magic are greatly aided and
abetted by practical pattern,
your sewing machine and its at
tachmentS.
For instance, you can make a
little girls apron and collar set in
which is captured all the spic and
span quality we admire in the
Hollander's way of living. The
apron can be made with button
on, criss-cross collar or with
trim, ruffled-edge sailor collar. You
can get simple pattern which
gives full instructions for cutting out
the apron and both types of collar
Then, if you are not an ex-
perienced seamstress, apply to
your local sewing center to learn,
in a few simple wartime budget
lessons, how to apply the en-
broidered banding and ruffling in
a truly professional manner. The
apron pattern comes in 2, 3, 4,
and 6-year-old sizes.

victory garden berries, or else those

berries, red raspberries, and don't
overlook the early crop of cultivat-

In selecting berries, remember
they should be fresh in appearance,
plump and solid, high in colod and
free from dirt.

I-WAR-T TIME HEALTH COLUMN-
VaricOSe Veins Are Treated
With Injection and Legation

vein ruptures, and this break is
followed by hemorrhage.
The blood from the leg Is car
ried back to the body through two
groups of veins. One group lies
deep in the tissues, and is sur
rounded by muscle; the other is
situated just beneath the skin.
Both groups of veins are supplied
with valves which normally pre-
vent the blood from moving away
from the heart. 1t is the super
fetal group of veins, lacking the
support of surrounding muscle,
that dilate, and along with this
enlargement, the valves no longer
close and check the backward
flow of blood.
In the standing or sitting posi-
ton, the force of gravity pulls the
blood down into the dilated YES
sells, where 1t stagnates. This
stagnant blood impairs the nor
NAL flow of the circulating blood
through the legs, and results in
a diminished supply of nutrition
to the tissue.
Varicose veins developing during
pregnacy should be treated prophy-
lactically by part of the day, and
waited during part of the day, and
by supporting the veins with elastic
bandages or stockings for sitting or
standing.
The modern treatment by in
lection, or injection and legation,
is highly successful in competent
hands, and is accomplished while
the patient is up and about. Thus.
no time need be lost from work
and much discomfort, disability,
and time may be saved.

GRADUATE IN BLACKOUT

Hammond, Ind (UP)-The ISL
seniors at George Rogers Clark
high school claimed they were the
first class in the country to grad
uate in blackout. The alert signal
sounded when diplomas were being
handed out, but the school was pre-
pared for the blackout. Black cur
tafns were drawn and all lights ex-
tinguished except few red and blue
footlights on the stage, and the pro-
gram went on.

Dr. Masters are d1lated, elOn-
gated veins, usually of the legs.
The exact cause of varicose veins
is unknown. Many have noticed
that they are more frequent in
some families than in others, and
therefore assume that the tenden-
cy, at least, is inherited. They
are also more common among the
obese than those of normal weight.
The fact that varicose veins often
begin after pregnancy has led to
the assumption that increased
pressure on the veins in the pelvis
may be a factor in their causa-
ton.
VEINS BECOME VISIBLE
These veins are first recognized
because they are plainly visible, as
dilated, tortuous vessels under the
skin. Frequently, they are associat-
ed with sense of heaviness in the
legs and an increased tendency to
fatigue. Occasionally, there is sharp
pain; more commonly. the discom-
fort is described as burning SEN
sation or a dull ache. The discom-
fort is present during standing or
walking, and is relieved by lying
down.
Itching and sometimes even an
eruption of the skin of the legs
may develop, because of stagna-
ton of the blood and a resulting
impaired circulation. For the
same reason, the skin over a vari-
cose vein is sometimes so mall
as to break down and
form an ulcer. Occasionally, the
