be ready to strike at the enemy
when the proper time comes. Their
efforts are directed towards the
restoration of freedom TO their
country. None Of the civilized
countries of the. world have recog-
nized either the first or the sec
ond invasion of Lithuania, but
they appear to be, and undoubted-
ly are, in sympathy with Lithuan-
ian aspirations.
There is about one million Lith-
uanians in the United States. An
other million is scattered in various
other countries of the world. They
are fairly well organized every
where. There are many of them
in the armies of Russia, England
and other allied countries. They
are in spirit with the United Ma
tions.
In the United States, the Repub-
lie of Lithuania maintains a Lega-
ton at Washington, D. c., Consul
ate General in New York and Con-
sulates in Boston, Chicago and Los
Angeles. The people here are ac-
lively cooperating with the Gov
ernment of their adopted country.
Many of them are in the United
States armed forces. They have
already figured in almost every
major engagement of our forces,
and many of them have received
distinguished citations. There was
one Lithuanian even in the compar-
atively small group of General
Doolittle's raiders of Tokyo.
This year, on February 18th, the
Iithuanians throughout the world
celebrated the 25th anniversary of
the Declaration of Independence of
the Republic. The Governors of
Maryland, Massachusetts, and ! Illi-
nois, and mayors of many cities
proclaimed that day a holiday in
honor of Lithuania The Lithuan-
ians devoted that day for the pur-
chase of War Bonds and contribu-
tions to the American Red Cross
In Chicago alone, on that occasion
they purchased Bonds for one mil
lion dollars. Other communities
did well proportionately. In Chic
ago again, the Lithuanians con
tributed to the Blood Bank Az
pints Of blood in one day. These
people are endeavoring to perform
their share in the war efforts
Their hope for restoring freedom
and independence to the land o
their forefathers is based on tn
Atlantic Charter and the victor,
of the United States. They ar
convinced that for the assuranc
of an enduring peace to the world

The following is an address
delivered by DR.. julius j. Biels-
kls, consul OF Llthuanla, on the
occasion of luncheon given by
the Westwood Hills Women's
Club, on March 9, 1943, Los An
geles, California. The luncheon
was in honor of the United Ma
tions. The Consuls of China,
Chechoslovakia, Netherlands, Po-
land, Russia and Mexico also
participated. Mrs. Blelslls was
invited to be honorary hostess OF
the occasion.
The country / represent is in
about the same plight today as
most of the invaded and enemy oc-
cupied countries of Europe. with
this actual distinction: that the
Republic of Lithuania has suffered
two successive foreign invasions
and has served as battlefield for
the two mighty Russian and Ger
man armies.
Since June %, 194l, the Repub-
lie of Lithuania has been under
German military occupation, and to
this date is still being exploited,
oppressed and plundered. The in
vaders liquidated the organization
of the state, imprisoned or executed
many high governmental, cultural
and national leaders and converted
the country into a virtual prison
camp. The latest word from there
is that able men are being
forced into the German army and
send to the front; while women are
being sent into Germany presumab-
ly to forced labor.
We have no direct communication
with Lithuania at the present time
but, through neutral sources, and
rough so-called Grapevine
means, we know of the pitiful con-
dition of the people under the op-
preston of the invaders, and the

Hats in Sb0tHqbt at National

at the National Monday night, the
audience seemed to key its dress to
the sober serious note of the play
Gone was the glitter that has dis
tinguished the dress of most of the
opening might audiences this fall
Typical costume was the simple
short dark little dress topped by a
close-fitting calot. These "beanies'
struck the only bright note in the
audience and were very interesting
in their variety. The most gala
were the feather calots in turquoise,
or red, sometimes swathed in veil
ing. However, the matching cap
was more the rule. One lovely
blond wearing a simple draped
brown dress, topped it with brown
calot with brown-to-beige ostrich
cascading over one ear, while a
brunette chose purple veiled num-
ber to complete her deep purple
dress decorated with green sequins
at the shoulders. One lady in black
wore topper hat that was nothing
more than a few circular strips of
black sequins, while her companion

suggestions you might offer for using
dried twigs or berries effectively."-
J.C.
Suggest you whiten twigs which
are interesting in shape. This gives
the effect of bare branches covered
with snow. They are most effective
against a dark wall. To whiten, dip
them in a bowl of white calsomine,
and dry. Dip again If they are not
completely covered. Tiny tinsel
Christmas tree ornaments make
these very gay. Wallpaper paste
may be used for "stickum" on
branches, seed pods and similar ma
terial, on which artificial snow can
be powdered. Broken Christmas tree
ornaments may be powdered fine
with q rolling pin and Sprinkled onto
a gluey surface. This gives sparkle
to the dullest spray. These sugges-
tions may help you to think up more
interesting ones as you 60 along.

windows on the top floor Of our
house are about to fall out of the
frames. These windows are three
flights up and there is no ledge un-
der the windows. How is it possible
to get putty around the panes with
out considerable danger? We have
been trying to take care Of repairs
on our house ourselves, but this is
too much for us to attempt

I agree with you-this Is case
for a little professional help The
glazier will probably take out the
window sash, replace the putty anC
put the sash back in place When
he does tit looks easy and takes
but short time-but it is too much
for an amateur.
