GL0RIFYING
YOURSELF
Bv ALICIA HART
NEA staff Writer

Let's talk about SlackS, now that
girls wear them at home, on jobs
d-although they shouldn't-on
street. buses and trains.
First of all, use care in select
ing styles if you want to keep
hips safe from snide remarks. Hips
that tend to be heavy are safest
in feminine-styled tops which are
pleated, paneled or tailored for
camouflage. ColorS that best minim-
ize rear eXpanse are dark-navy
black or brown. Don't wear eye
catching colors unless you have a
plus perfect figure.
Another dependable camouflage-
ing aid is a hip-length packet or
a shirt that hangs outside. Very
few women can wear a shoved-in
shirt or hitched-up belt with
slacks. Be sure you are one OF
that select number before you
settle fof those bOyish tricks.
If you wear a girdle with dresses,
slacks need one too for their ap-
pointed rounds. The pantie type
of girdle qualities nicely as a COM
panion to slackS.
Don't wear high-heeled shoes
with slacks. There is no more in
congruous team that could be
dreamed up than these most femi-
nine shoes worn with mans pants,
for that's what slacks are, no mat
ter what we call them.

Rotarians Hear
Possibilities
Of Alcohol Plant

Supervisor Hugh Osborn dis
cussld the oSsibilities of a power
alcohol plant in Imperial county
at the Rotary club luncheon Thurs
day in the Barbara Worth hotel.
Il think it would stabilize indus
try in the valley, the year round,
Osborn declared.
He pointed out that the plant
would be set up by the government
and that all power alcohol would
be diverted to the production of
synthetic rubber.
Excess cantaloupeS, sugar beets,
carrots, watermelons as well as
grain sorghums, and grains like
wheat corn and rice could be used
in this industry" the supervisor
assured his listeners.
George Garrigue5 was chairman

ON THE HONE
FRONT
BY ANN STEVICK
NEA Staff Core jpOndent

WASHINGTON. July N.-Canned
food prices for this years pack are
on free-lance basis instead of
being tied tc Department of Agri-
culture standards. A mall clause
addl d to Office f Price Admins
trationS budget rill by Congress
says no standard can be used FOR
pricing procesSed fruits and vePe-
tables except those customary in the
trade.
OPA pricerS were on the verge OF
pinning all this years prices on
canned foods down to agriculture
standards for drained weight CT
the cans contents, texture, color.
size and so forth. Last year these
standards were used to price the big
four-peaS, snap beans, tomatoes
and corn. Now priccrs arc up
against the problem of pricing each
product on the Gamers individual
marking method, with nc uniform
rules. Pricing experts are predict
ing the new clause may bring
canned food price enforcement into
such chaos that Congress will be
asked to reconsider next session.
There is the possibility, admit
tedly remote, hopeful exponents of
pricing by agriculture standards
point out, that it can be shcwn that
agriculture canned foods standards
are customary" therefore usable.
Gamers claim that only per cent
of the total pack is customarily
packed on agricultural standards.
Military, lend-lease and some of
the big grocery chains buy on these
standards, however That adds up to
a good percentage of the pack, but
it's doubtful it will add up to Gus
tomary'' in the face of determined
opposition from Gamers.
ODDS AND ENDS
Don't expect your grCce. &c favor
YOU with a special box or bushel
basket to deliver your groceries in.
Fruit crops are bigger, and fewer
containers are being made, so any,
thing usable will be pressed into
service to bring fruit to market for
YOU. Ice will tinkle as usual in
cold summer drinks. Ice manufac-
turers have told War Production
Board officials that ice supplies can
keep up to big increases in demand.

WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

one thing we women must learn,
as more and more of our young
men are shipped home wounded is
o cover up our compassion, to hide
our pity.
We can't help but feel sorry for
these young men who come back
diSabled-nor should we want to be
unfeeling enough not to be heart
sick at the sight of them, and at
he thought of what they have
suffered.
But we must not let that pity
show through. For the men don't
want pity They want and they
need to be treated the way they
were before they went away. They
have the hard job of accepting
the handicap that is theirs and
going ahead with the everyday
business Of living.
If they find pitying glanceS every
where they go, if their friends and
families let their sympathy over
flow into words, their job will be
much harder. Those men deserve
our utmost respect and admiration.
They deserve thoughtful considera-
lion. But they don't deserve to be
openly pitied.
PITY Is HARD TO FACE
1t is easier, much easier to show
The overwhelming pity we feel than
to hide under a casual, calm man
ner. But it isn't easier for the
men who must face the pity.
So We must learn to hold our
tongues, to keep from rushing into
the kind of sympathetic talk that
might relieve our feelings but could
only harm the wounded service
mans.
1t is a fact that the wounded
men who are being shipped back
to this country are often loath to
face their families and friends. Per-
hapS the main reason for that is
that it is easier for them to face
the casual manner of strangers than
the plying sympathy of relatives
and friends.

them as they started;
Spread it out now. DO you want
10 draw fire on yourselves? Don't
bunch up like that. Keep five yards
apart. Spread it cut, dammit
WANT TO sT.CI, TOCETHER
There is an almost irresistible
pull to get close to somebody When
Won are in danger. In spite oil
themselves, the men would run up
close to the fellow ahead for COM
pany.
The other lieutenant now called
out:
New you on the right watch the
left side of the street for snipers,
and YOU on the left watch the right
side. Cover each other that way
And a first sergeant said to
passing soldier:
Get that grenade out of its case
It won't do you no good in the
case. Throw the case away. That's
right"
Some of the men carried grenades
already fixed in the ends of their
rifles. All of them had hand
grenades. Some had big Browning
automatic rifles. One carried
bazooka. Interspersed in the thin
line of men every now and then
was a medic. with his bags OF
bandages and a Red Cross arm
band on the left arm. The men
didn't talk any. They just went.
They weren't heroic figures as
they moved forward one at a time
a few seconds apart. Ycu think OF
attackers as being savage and bold
These men were hesitant and cau-
tious. They were really the hunters,
but they looked like the hunted.
There was a confused excitement
and grim anxiety in their faces.
ARE NOT WARRIORS
They seemed very pathetic to me
They weren't warriors. They were
American boys who by mere chance
of fate had wound up with guns in
their hands sneaking up death
laden street in a strange and shat
tered city in a far-aWay country i'll
driving rain. They were afraid,
but it was beyond their power tc
quit. They had no choice.
They we're good boys. l talked
with them all afternoon as we
sneaked slowly forward along the
mysterious and rubbed street, and
know they we're good boys.
And even though they aren't war
riors born to the kill, they win
their battles. That's the point.

Prince Georges Loses Loon
Of Trucks Used to Pick UD Docs

Prince Georges County today was
without facilities to pick up stray
dogs because of the withdrawal by
Mrs. Eleanor Patterson of two
trucks which she had loaned to the
County Animal Rescue League.
Meanwhile, the county commits
sioners were considering the estab-
lishment of an antirabies vaccination
program for dogs similar to that
in Montgomery County. Such a
move was discussed with DR.. A. L.
Brueckner, acting director of the
State livestock sanitary service, at
their meeting yesterday in Upper
Marlboro.
In a letter to the board, Mrs.
Charlotte M. Shelter, executive vice
president of the Animal Rescue
League, sad Mrs. Patterson has Or
dered her trucks withdrawn until
further notice because of her arrest
on charges brought by DR.. John M
Byers, county health officer.
A warrant charging Mrs. Patter-
son with violating the dog quaran-
tine was sworn out last week by
DR.. Byers. The health officer said
the action was taken after he saw
two dogs, allegedly owned by Mrs,
