By the Way:
Beth Blame.

If you were the wife of serv-
iceman travelling with one or
more small children, how would
you like to be met at Union Sta
ton by smart, capable AWVS
worker in motor corps uniform
and have her take over your
problems until you continue your
trip several hours later?
You're tired, the babies are
hungry and hot and dusty and
fretful. You aren't certain when
that outgoing train leaves or
from which gate-maybe you've
never been to Washington and
you aren't even familiar with the
station. Well, this is what the
AWVS Motor Corps girl will
probably do. She'll take you and
the children right through the
crowds over to the United Ma
tions Service Center nursery,
where you, and they, can get
freshened up and cooled of. In
the kitchen at the nursery you'll
be allowed to mix the younger
child's formula. Trained women
are in attendance and there are
clean, comfortable cribs If the
children want maps, books and
games If they are in the playing
mood.
And while you're having this
breather, the AWVS worker is
quietly and efficiently finding out
about your train so that she can
pick you and the children up
and take you right to 1t, when
leaving time comes. These are
just few Of the services which
AWVS renders to weary travel
ers, between the hours of Z
am. to midnight when they are
on duty daily at the station.
Chairman of this AWVS baby
ferrying Is Mrs. Coramay s,
Hutchison, who also is chairman
OF the drive to recruit volunteers
to help at the Glenn Dale SAM
tarium. For three years she
worked as cashier at both the
AWVS headquarters canteen and
the Army Park Lunch Bar, as we'll
as being chairman Of the hospi-
tai assistants at Casualty Hospi-
tai. AS a young girl she studied
nursing and completed two
years Of training before her
marriage. Now a widow with
grown chiloren and a grandson
who goes into the Navy this
week, Mrs. Hutchison is giving
the benefit Of that training as
well as her natural ability as an
organizer to volunteer war work
and doing a splendid and useful
job Of it.

 For instance, no man will be for ced to attend any of the educa- tional courses if he doesn't want to-and he won't be put on any work details if he refuses to study. But he will be required to choose something from the athletic or re- creational lists.
 For men who never had a chance to go to school when they were kids, the Army will attempt to provide at least a fifth-grade ele- mentary-school education.
 Vocational training will be avail able to those who wish to learn a trade.
 Qualified men may be sent to some of the great European uni versities-such as Oxford or Cam bridge, in England, or the Sorbon- ne, in Paris.
 And for those interested in ad- vanced vocational training central ized technical schools will be set up in connection with existing civ- iian schools to teach 150 techni- cal courses, such as machineshop practice; radio servicing and re- pair, refrigeration maintenance, welding and so on.

BASE LIBRARY CONCERT TUESDAY
 PRESENTS BEET, SlBELIUS, STRAUSS

It's "pops" night again at the Base Library next Tuesday even- ing when you can read, write and relax to the strains of Strauss, Bizet, Sfbelius and Ravel.
 The program will open with the charming music of Georges Bizet's "HArlesienne," based on the play of the same name by Daudet. The Suite opens with an old Provencal Christmas carol, "The March of the Three Kings followed by a minuet, which also has the atmo- sphere of follnnusic. Next comes a Romanza, representing love scene between an old shepherd and the sweetheart of his youth, and the finale is carillon, Initiating the bells of Christmas Eve.
 Sibelius' Sixth Symphony, the "heavy" number on the program is one of the least known of Sibelius works. It has been described by its composer as "pure, cold water compared with the champagne and cocktails served, in his estimation, by other creative musicians of to- day. The orchestral color is quiet and the interest chiefly formal. The
Bradley beam., 1944-10-21

composer conducted the first per- fornnance at Helsinh in 1923.
 A giant among contemporary composers is Richard Strauss. Six of his seven Symphonic Poems have become popular show pieces in the orchestral repertoire. The Base Library has chosen to include on it's program "Ein Heldenleben, generally agreed to be an autobio- graphical piece, with Strauss him self as the hero. The music begins with an arrogant, self-confident theme representing the hero him. self in his manysided character. Introduced by strings and horn, this theme is the chief material of the first section, brilliantly deve- loped and reaching a climax in the brass. The proud melody of the Hero himself rises to sonorous climax, the music becoming almost funerally solemn, perhaps antici- pating the death that is inevitable.
 The program will close with RaveI's Valse, sketehed during the First World War and completed in 1920. The themes are of Viennese character, and the music is in three parts.

technical schools or experienced may take the university courses, similar to those offered in Amer ican colleges. Some of these cour- ses will be given in local civilian institutions, while others will be available in special Army centers staffed by qualified military in- structors. Competent instructors will be selected, regardless of rank. It is expected that American col leges will give credit for work passed in foreign universities and Army university centers.
 But the bulk of the educational and vocational training, except the advanced technical and university level courses, will be given in bat talion-level schools.
 The recreation portion of the program contemplates instruction in music, dramatics, arts and crafts and opportunities for ex- pression in these fields.
 On the sports agenda activities range from CT Olympic Games, with competition from all theaters of operation to chess and checker tournaments. More than $20,000.- 900 worth Of sporting equipment is being purchased for use of G1s overseas.
