By the Way
BETH BLAINE .

If you're thinking about getting
married, take a tip from pretty
blond Miss Sue Pentz and take
the Red Cross Canteen course
Miss Pentz has found that not
only has her canteen training
made it possible for her to do her
bit for the war effort but it's taught
her lot about cooking and house.
keeping that will come in very
handy after she walks up the aisle
October 16 with Capt. Charles E.
Gettinger.
1t was even before there were reg
ular canteen courses that Miss
Pentz began her canteen work
helping out at the recreational CEN
ter at Hains Point. Being a
working girl (she has a full-time
job as supervisor of the mailroom
at the Printcraft Building, which
handles all overseas personnel and
home service case work for Ma
tlonal Red Cross she took the
courses at night after working
hours. That was before the two
courses had been combined and
shortened to six and a half weeks
for the the whole thing, so she put
in II weeks of class work-six weeks
for each course
After that Miss Pentz worked
regularly several nights a week.
She is captain of the Wednesday
night crew of the mobile canteen.
Thursday night captain of the sta
tlonary canteen, is a member of one
of the shifts of volunteers that
staff the Army Transport Command
at one of our local airports 20 hours
out of every "a, and she has helped
with the emergency feeding work
done by our District Chapter Red
Cross Canteen in two local floods.
She pays high tribute to the girls
who work with her-both in can
teen and in the Motor Corps.
Although the Canteen Corps has
plenty of night volunteers, day
workers were badly needed. There
is a new class beginning September
26 at the Walsh House. You can
get the details by calling Republic
$500, Extension 266.
Oh. and by. the way, Miss Pentz
met her attractive Army captain
hushand-to-be when she was work
ing at Hams Point. It's real
romance!
