Women Organized
New life is being given to women's
activities with the organization of
the Army wives Monday afternoon
by Mrs. Mabel Revaleon. At their
next meeting these women will set
up permanent organization to meet
at the USO Club and to cooperate in
its program.
The BeauticianS Club continues to
be the most active women'S organi-
zation at the USO, and at their
next meeting they plan to make a
number of waste baskets for the
Post Hospital.
AS a special concession to the
nurses at the Post Hospital, Tuesday
night has been permanently set
aside as Nurses Recreation Night.
1t. Rose Elliott is active among the
nurses in making this leisure time
activity one of the bright spots of
nurses life at Ft Huachuca.
Crafts Program Expanded
In order to meet the growing de-
mands of Army wives interested in
crafts, the USO club has ordered
several boxes of yarn for making
fluff rugs. The making of these
rugs, an activity undertaken by the
Crafts Glass taught by Miss Marian
Washington, was a popular pastime
during the pre-Christmas season and
afforded many women an oppor-
tunity to give attractive presents at
small expenditure.
Two sewing machines have been
acquired by the club and with the
coming of spring many women will
be able to fashion and make their
own apparel for the Easter Parade

eyed to hear 1t. Castine A Davis

bered as the author of the article
