Easter Bonnets
Plentiful
By ANN STEVICK
NEA Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. 1t
looks like Easter bonnets very
nearly as usual. OF course there
won't be fancy imported straws
from Italy ana China, Tor most of
those have been gone for the last
two seasons. Synthetic straWs are
expected to be abundant with some
new types. Some of the cheaper
types formerly made partly of pa
per probably won't appear on the
market this year.
The rayon shortage will mean
that hat-makers' quotas of rayon
material for ribbon oI cloth hats
will be little less than last year.
But the milliners voluntary code
of conservation of materials will
probably make this amount cover
as many heads as ever. The
clouds of yelling seen on hats in
recent seasons will diminish be-
fore long. Manufacturing facili-
ties are in use for nets for war
uses.
GOOD GOODS
Your troubles with poor quality
children's clothes may be helped
some by the new program which
names specified amounts of cloth
for various garments. That's about
as far as it can go, however, ac-
cording to war production board
textile experts. Shrinkage and fad
ing are hard to control in war
time manufacture, when m n y
chemicals cannot be procured.
Specifications beyond the re-
quirements of amounts of yardage
are hard to set up without estab-
fishing uniform standardized gar
ments, it is felt in WPB. So you'll
have to work out your own quail
ity tests when you shop.

Don't go around as though you
have a chip on your shoulder, wait
ing for a fight. Maintain a calm
attitude and friendly attitude. You
do not have to be a grinning clown
in order to have a friendly smile
with those you work with. When
ever a tip is given, a "Thank you,
sir" should be returned. The dispo-
sition of some employees is to take
a tip without saying anything. This
is an insult and while the passenger
may say nothing about it-he in
wardly resents it.
Courtesy should be given to
everybody, not only to the rich and
the educated, but to the poor and
humble. When courtesy is given
generally and systematically, it
makes the Porter, Attendant, Maid
and Bus Boy a better worker. He
gets deeper satisfaction out of his
work. The worker who is sullen and
mad all the time will provoke sui
lenness and indignation from the
passengers. Remember you receive
what you give. AS you give out
kindness you will receive kindness.
If you give incivility, you will get
it in return. Every Union Man is
a courteous worker. Every Brother
hood man is a friendly worker
