z elepisi0n Future
Bright With Chances

Tho expansion Of television after
the war will mean job openings for
women particularly In the field Of
writing, acting, costuming and stage
setting, Miss Ruth Crane, director
Of women's activities At Station
WMAI. since April and a former
member Of the Zonta Club OF De-
troit, yesterday asserted.
Speaking informally at q luncheon
meeting Of the Washington Zonta
Club, she predicted that the impor-
tance Of children's productions will
be stressed.
Daytime serials, she went on. will
probably be featured as much q
ever. Asked frequently by business
and club women just why these
continuing stories were broadcast
daily in such numbers, she explained
that millions Of housewives want to
hear this oldest form of entertain
ment" tstory telling) as an escape
from their problems.
In answer to question of whether
radio executives are planning to ar
range better balanced programs, she
replied that this Is and will be done
as much as possible. but that as time
is more difncult to sell than news
or magazine space, advertisers have
more control in radio than in the
publishing business. Arrangement
Of programs, therefore. depends to
a larger extent on them, Miss Crane
pointed out. The sales end Of radio,
she declared, is complicated by pub
lie interest being higher at one time
than another and by the existence
OF wide differences in rates accord
ing to the hour.
Miss Crane was introduced by
Mrs. Louise Stambaugh.

By the Way
BETH BLAINE

Until you've actually seen the
things yourself you wouldn't be-
lieve 1t possible to make out of
SCRAPS-the useful and very
practical and goodlooking wear
ing apparel, hospital garments,
overseas bags, ETC., that Miss
Ethel Bowden turns out by the
hundreds for the Production Unit
of the Red Cross.
You can't even call her volun-
teer work strictly wartime job.
She began before there was a
war-almost five years ago-and
we've been told by fellow workers
that she has to her credit almost
5000 hours of volunteer Red
Cross work, probably more. we
were told. than anyone in the
District of Columbia Chapter!
Miss Bowen modestly didn't
know-when we asked her about
it. Added to this, Miss Bowden
has been 18 times a blood donor.
Why did you choose the sew
ing unit of production?" we
asked. Did you know a lot about
sewing? Like it a lot?"
Indeed she did. Miss BoWden
said. She learned to sew when
she was a small girl. Her mother.
a minister's daughter, later min
ister's wife. loved sewing and was
very good at it and in her daugh-
ter Ethel, she found a very apt
and willing pupil.
Miss Bowden makes all her
own clothes and has made, she
told us, four or five complete
trousseauX for nieces who were
getting married. Now she spends
three days a week at the sewing
room Of the Production Unit in
the Chapter House, supervising,
advising, and assisting the volun-
teers who come there to help in
the war effort. and she spends
many hours at home turning out
childrens dresses tmany of these
are given to Home Service for
the children of servicemen) of
her own design. She showed us
some, and any little girl would
be very pleased and happy and
comfortable in these frocks and
never would guess that those del
icately turned insets weren't to
make the model smarter and
more attractive instead of to
save material-as was the case.
We saw some of the warm undies,
the hospital bags and overseas
bags-given to every service man
and woman who goes over, and
we saw some of the best looking
bedroom slippers we've ever seen
made from scraps Of brocade
and tapestry which the shops
had used for samples and given
to the Red Cross when they no
longer could order from them.
If you're good at sewing the
Red Cross can use you. And If
you're not, the Red Cross can tell
you where you can be taught.

NEW CHAPEL TO
OPEN SUNDAY AT
FOUR CORNERS

The opening of St. Bernadette's
Chapel at Four Corners, mission
of historic st. Johns Catholic
Church, Forest Glen, has been set
for Sunday, December 3, 1914, the
Rev. Joseph T. Kennedy, pastor of
st. Johns, has announced.
Although wartime conditions
have prevented a permanent struc-
ture, Father Kennedy stated it has
been possible to erect chapel not
merely for utility but for becom-
ing beauty as well". Materials
used for the chapel were taken
from the old st. Johns hall. The
latter has been dismounted espec-
tally to build the new chapel.
Erected to serve the expanding
settlement of Silver Spring, the
chapel will contain the historic al
tar built and used by John Carroll,
first American Bishop and Arch
bishop of Baltimore, in its sanct-
uary. The altar has been in the
chapel at st. Johns Cemetery.
The 11-acre site along Lawrence
Drive, will, in the near future, be
developed into a $250,OOO plant with
a school and convent, Father Ken
nedy said.
The new parish is the first in the
archdiocese to be dedicated under
the patronage of st. Berhadette--
the little French peasant girl so
supremely favored by the Mother
of God as the now famous grotto
of Lourdes. Father Kennedy stat
ed he hopes that the dedication TO
st. Bernadette and the Immacu-
late Conception twill excite re-
newal of Catholic fervor and ac-
tivity among members of the new
parish.
Sunday masses will be said in
the Chapel at 8, II, and 1915
o'clock. For this reason the sched-
ule of masses at st. Johns Church
has been altered beginning next
Sunday to 8, o, 1O:SO a. m. and
noon.
