 Supply Office and Ut. Thomas c. Mckay, Assistant Supply Officer, will say 'I Do" this Saturday at 10 o'clock in the Rectory of St. Gabriel's Catholic Church in Wind sor. The ceremony will be per formed by Rev. John Quinn, pas tor of the church. The bride, who has been employed at Bradley Field for the past two and one half years, is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. John Duffy of Windsor. It. Mckay, who has been at the Base for about year, is the son of MT. and Mrs. Charles Mckay of Chicago, Ill. He left this week for Mitchell Field, N. Y. -
 California, Here I Come," was the song on the lips of Miss Fran ces Krah, supervisor of Stock Con trol in the AAF Supply Depart ment. She left Friday for the sum- nu climate of Los Angeles. Fran ces, who comes from Broadbrook, has been employed at the Supply Office for two and one-half years and at one time was assistant chief clerk. Her host of friends wish her continued success.
 It's not a question any more of whether or not gentlemen prefer blondes! It's the color of the tur- ban that counts! However it's all to the good-for it's better by far to have hair, be it blonde brunette or red-CAREFULLY PROTECT ED.
 In little red box on a desk in Mail 6 File Section at the AAF Supply Office is this inscription: Friendly Nickel Service. Dina A. Herzog, Proprietor" It has been estimated that $1 300 worth of business has been carried on dur ing the past year, with an average of four dollars being exchanged each day. The box is filled with nickels and employees from all de- partments of Supply, including the labor crew, do business at this popular stand throughout each day. No time is lost by the proprietor in making change for the employ ees desiring cokes, candy bars or money for the pay station tele- phone, as the business is self serv ice. The box is left on the desk during the absence of the owner during the noon hour and she trusts to the honesty of those using the service.
 Mrs. Herzog has been conduct ing this business now for more than a year and reports no losses but a splendid gain in friendships. She gets a real thrill out of being of service to others and she states it has eliminated waste of the em- ployees' time in seeking nickels from one person or another. As a sideline she also conducts a free Country Store" service where she furnishes anything from buttons to doughnuts.

Many Filipinos in the Merchant
Marine participated in the success
full invasio of North Africa. Sicily
and the Italian mainland. The
story of 42-year-old Pedro R. AL
copra, of Misamis. Occidental
Misamis, is typical. He gave up
his barber shop in New York when
the Japanese attacked the Philip
pines and reported to the local
Maritime Commission Office for
work aboard merchant ship. He
had some years before worked as
a seaman.
At first the Maritime Commits
sion would not take him in because
of his poor health. but finally in
February. 1912, he was given job
aboard an oil tanker. His ship
went as far as Iran. He was in
Capetown on the homeward trip
when he heard that President
Quezon had reached Washington.
In April. 1913. Alcopra was on
another oil tanker. which soon join
ed the huge invasion armada bound
for North Africa. His ship ferried
war material in the Mediterranean.
Many a time Alcopra's ship was
subjected to bombing but was never
hit. although he saw some ships
damaged.
Every time Alcopra returns to
New York from a sea trip he buys
a 81 900 war bond. He says that
this is one way he can help to
bring about an early recovery of
his native land from the enemy.

And yet the feelings Of Ameri-
can women are run over rough
shod. OF course they aren't
told, This is your son, your hus-
band, or the man you are waiting

They don't need to be told that.
The generalized picture is enough
to make them doubt, when they
need to feel secure. They need
the feeling of security as much
as the men in the foxholes need
It.

overseas that many of the wivo6
and sweethearts of service men are

people who are separated, the pop
pie to whom a little doubt Is q
gnawing, agonizing thing?
Such reporting isn't necessary

Beauties Hints
That Charming Casual Look Is
Result OF Very Careful Grooming

this rule work 10 her advantage
can shine this season.
For cues, let's turn 10 q conovef
model--~Eve Amber-who Is typed
as an out-of-doors girl In the
models catalogue. Because I'VE
tries to look like an ideallzed ver-
sion Of you In photographs when
she fashions, let's copy her tricks
and really look like that.
First, her clothes are simply
styled and starchily crisp. A sum
mer cotton Is never worn the sec
ond day II IL has gone limp or
looks unused. Though her hair.
do looks like q careless bob, Il
isn't. It's disciplined by pinups
at night: Is carefully dressed by
day and shampooed twice a week
to restore clean color and fresh
bounce. Makeup, however, is APP
piled sparingly, because, as she
says, even in photographs obvious
articles don't 90 with casual
clothes.
Ewes legs are usually bare, but
are made to look Romany tan with
q makeup stain that shines like
nylons. The rest Of her outdoor
charm comes from being q girl
who Is friend Of the sun, who
can put English on O tennis ball
or hop on o bicycle and race you
for miles.
