Arnzy Requests Cauteeu Work,
Red Gross Ans1Vers Gall
By Betty Grove Smith.

The Canteen CsTps Is one Of the
most vital of all Red Gross Corps,
one of the most useful and most
necessary. And right now this corps
Is in serious need of day volunteers
to continue the many projects under
its Jurisdiction.
1t Is an amazing fact that more
working women seem to answer the
call for volunteers than housewives.
This means that all the night classes
are filled and some even have watt
ing lists but the day classes in many
Red Cross training units are sadly
behind. Because there Is such great
need for more volunteers in can
teen work, the Red Cross has de-
cided to let volunteer workers be-
gin at once and help until the next
course OF training begins at the
end OF the summer. . So, if you
have some spare time (and all of
US have, really, if we want badly
enough to help, please call Re-
public 5000 and ask for Canteen
and volunteer some time this sum-
mer.
Mrs. Anson B. Gardner is chair
man Of the Canteen Corps for the
District of Columbia Chapter and
has been since May 18th. She took

at the Blood Donor Center after it
was moved to the Acacia Building,
served as vice chairman of the
corps and was asked to take over
the craftsmanship upon the resigna-
tlon OF Mrs. Sherman TroWbridge.
Although she was born in Wash
ington, Mrs. Gardner has spent little
time here until the war began and
her husband came to the Capital to
do war work and the Gardner fami-
ly left their attractive home in
Greenwich, Conn, and came here
for the duration. Their only son is
in the service, their daughter works
with the weather bureau at the
airport. Mrs. Gardner feels that the
fact that the canteen work being
done, by the Red Cross Is at the
request of the Army speaks for its
Importance in the war effort. Every
thing undertaken by them is i'm

Eugenia Lawrence Whitney Of New
Haven was the maid of honor.
Heirloom lace belonging to hel
grandmother trimmed the brides
dress of cream satin, which was
fashioned with a heart shaped

fitted bodice, the skirt flared and
ending in a circular train. Her
veil of cream tulle was caught with
orange blossoms and fell from q

flowers were a shower bouquet of

|portant work, she thinks, and she
also feels that much of the work
will continue after the war.
1.-The Red Cross" she told us, will
be called upon to do more in COM
munity work after this war than
ever before. The training. and ex-
perience that working women
are getting now will be equally
useful in a postwar world. It will
help us to assume our share OF COM
munity responsibility and it will
help us in our own homes with our
own families toward leading richer
and better lives"
Every woman who has taken the
canteen course and done canteen
work feels that not only is she
doing her bit toward winning the
war, but that she herself is a better
housekeeper and a better manager
in her own home for the experience
she has gained" Mrs. Gardner told
us. How about your volunteering?
You'll never find better time than

so YOU never have seen a

succeeding lessons will carry you

Contract bridge requires four
players. Two are partners against
the other two. Partners sit oppo-
site each other.
You use a standard deck Of So
cards. They are dealt one at a

spades together, hearts. together,
diamonds together and clubs to-

Then begins what Is called the

that later. II is followed by the
play. Since the bidding is based on
what the different players think
their cards can do in the play. It
is important to understand the
play first.
One plsyer-whose identity is
determined by the bidding-is
called the "declarer." The player
at his left "leads"-that Is, he
plays a card face up on the table.
