1t was far step to the exquisite
mood of Critics "Poeme" for flute

of this superb work by the American
composer, SO idyllically and imag-
inatively conceived, was recreated
in the pure line of Mr.. Kincaid's S
phrasing, limpid tone and delicate
f1uency. His success was pro-

BETH BLAINE

AS assistant kitchen director
and acting director for the past
three months of the District of
Columbia Chapter Red Cross
Canteen, Mrs. Paul c. Ollie does
a bangup job. You know how we
housewives struggle with plan
ming our own meals at home and
making them good and nourish-
ing with wartime rationing? Well,
how would you like to have to
plan luncheon for 400 people
every day, and have a good menu,
a varied menu and an inexpen-
sive one? That's what Mrs. Ollie
does and does we'll.
In summer, when the spacious
gardens behind the National Red
Cross headquarters can be used,
the Red Gross workers and serv-
ice men and women average be-
tween 500 and 600 for luncheon
each day, but in winter, when the
canteen goes inside, daily lunch
cons number around 400. There
is always one good hot dish
Hungarian goulash is great
favorite, Mrs. Ollie told us, and
then there are the delicious salads
and sandwiches prepared by the
volunteer workers themselves,
coffee, tea or milk and several
kinds of dessert from which to
choose. All the workers are VOL
unteer except the chief cook (who
does the main hot dish and the
soups and the dishwashers.
Menus are planned a week in
advance, Mrs. Ollie told us, and
although that may sound very
simple, often the foods that have
been so carefully planned ahead
aren't available at the market
when the time comes to order
them. Then something has to be
substituted and that's where Mrs.
Dille's ingenuity comes in-she
never seems to be stumped.
Mrs. Ollie has to cope with
ration points, too, just like the
rest Of us. The points are al
lotted by the ration board every
two months-the amount based
on the number of people served
in the preceding two months.
You can imagine how much
figuring out just how far those
points will go takes. Then, too,
all the food deliveries coming in
have to be carefully checked
after the menus have been made
out and the orders given. It's a
full-time job all right, and Mrs.
Ollie Is there every morning from
8 o'clock until 4 or S in the after
noon five days a week. Saturday
mornings she goes to the Blood
Donor Center and helps at the
canteen there (you know, OF
course, that the donors are
always given some sort of hot
drink or refreshment after they
have given blood.
For the past winter Mrs. Ollie
has been going out with the
night mobile canteen every Fri
day night and during the Red
Cross War Fund Drive she takes
time out from the D. C. Canteen
to 90 over to the Chamber of
Commerce Building every Tues
day and help serve luncheon to
the workers who report collec-
tions. Add to this that she takes
care Of her own cozy apartment
and cooks delicious meals for
herself and husband and you
have a pretty full schedule-and
a very worthwhile one.

WASP Director
to Women
OF Press Club
BY Gretchen Smith.

Although women are doing 6
wonderful job" serving with the
Army Air Forces as members OF
the WASP. their postwar chances oil

are not promising. Miss Jacqueline
Cochran. director of the WASP
believes.
Speaking before the Women's Ma.

terday at the Willard Hotel. Mis-.
Cochran explained the reasons for
this opinion regarding future
chances for women pilots, which
was expressed following a glowing
report of their efficiency.
II don't believe many women will
be used after the war;" she said
There will be so many men re-
turning in need of jobs and they
should have the jobs. The longer
a pilot serves, the more valuable he
becomes. One can't just put down
and pick up flying.
Women are apt to marry anc
have children and during a neces-
sary period, are unable to fly. Com
mercial lines are not likely to take
women pilots for this reason.
know should not employ a woman
pilot If I had commercial COM
pany," she continued. They may
be used in engineering flying or fol
test flying by factories or even gel
jobs as private pilots, but not as
commercial pilots. And the girls
don't expect it,"
Miss Cochran, who holds nationa
and international records as q
woman flyer, told how the WASPS
now are learning to fly the Army's
B-26 Marauder planes, in addition
to the excellent service they are
giving ferrying ships throughout
the country and to Canada; plotting
administrative personnel, courier
flying duty and flying low-target
planes, planes for gunnery train
ing by air crew members.
The speaker proudly cited an in.
cident where members of the WASP
and men pilots were sent on a ferry
mission from the same place at the
same time and the girls returned
to their station five days before
the men,"
Smilingly quoting Maj. Gen. Har.

OF the Army Air Forces Air Trans.
port Command, a guest of honor a
the luncheon, Miss Cochran ex.
planned that is because the mer
stay out to wolf a little, while tn,
girls want to get back home"
There are now approximately 60,
members of the WASP who hav,
graduated from the training schoo
at Sweetwater, Tex, Miss Cochran
commented, with classes graduating
every month. The girls are pu
through seven months of strenuous
training, including drills in calls
themes and military discipline. De
spite the strain of their work, tn,
girls are encouraged in retaining
their femininity, the WASP direc'
tor asserted. and are obliged to wea,
dresses when of duty at least thre,
or four times a week.
In regard to their being inductet
into the Army Air Forces, Mis-
Cochran declared that at least 81

Beauties Hints
Consider Age, Facial
Contours Before Having
"Alice" Hair-do
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

Before going about for an Alice
in-Wonderland hair-do - brushed
back, sleekly parted and tied with
acknowledgements that your
age, facial contours and features
have the final say as to whether
or not you can wear it. If these
say mo-" settle for another style.
To copy Alice's hair-do, you
should be either very young, when
contours don't matter too much, or
your face should be SO ideally oval
and features so good that you can
get away with the severity Of this
hair-do.
Unable to qualify, better choice
is any hattering arrangement that
is soft and gently curved. INCEST Is
one that's tailored, with one or
two deeply furrowed waves, or one
which boasts a few soft, curls. I'm
flattering to face that needs a
few Establishments are too rigid
waves, too many tight curls, maze
of confusing effects.
Where a hair-line Is not good
there are plenty that aren't-a bang
is a help. Wear 1t softly huffed or
waved. Good camouhage for back

or a pageboy bob, neatly Graded in

the unsigned plea were published,
his mother and father might see
and read it and apply it to them
selves-and he wouldn't have to hurt
their feelings by telling them how
he felt.
There must be thousands Of
young husbands who are feeling
the same way-for there are GER
tainly that many families in
which parents don't care for the
girl their son married.
Thep would make an effort to
care-or or least to get along
peacefully until the wars end
If they knew how much 1t would
mean to their son. And they
would let him know about 1t.
WRITE CHEERFULLY
A young husband would feel
mighty good if his mother wrote
him: MARY was over to dinner
last night. She is well and getting
along fine, though it is easy to see
she misses you terribly. You
would certainly be proud Of her
II you could hear her talk about
her Job at the war plant"
But he certainly wouldn't feel
very good-or very kindly toward
his mother, If instead she wrote:
MARY never drops by to see us
now that you are away. guess
she Is took taken up with that new
fob Of hers to have any time for
Us. I don't see why she feels she

Make Your
Easter Party a
Luncheon
BY GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Staff Writer

Not an Easter Inner, but a green
and white Easter luncheon is what
Mrs. Dana Merrill recommends. Mrs.
Merrill is a nationally prominent
expert on table arrangements for
photographs.
THE Easter table should be
dainty, and you can't serve a
dainty, substantial dinner, can
you? Especially if men are pres
ent," she says. Men will tolerate
a dainty luncheon, but not a din
ner."
This is what she advises. Use
white hemStitched linen cloth and
a complete service in glass. There
Is candlewick pattern on the mar
ket that not expensive and is
lovely. Have luncheon plates,
bread and butter plates and mint
dishes of glass. Use a glass basket
with handlo for centerpiece.
Flower Frills
Fill your glass basket with Easter
lilies, the Bermuda type, not Gala
lilies. Break the blossoms off the
stems first. Line the basket with
the long leaves, then gracefully ar
range the lilies SO that the large end
faces out, the narrow end in.
Choose two small lilies and tie
them on the handle, using a piece
Of wire, and cover wire with some
Of the green. Arrange the two lilies
together on one side of the handle.
Serve green and white minis in
the mint cups. If you have one of
the new glass accompaniment
bowls, serve vanilla ice cream in
one compartment and green piSta-
chic IN the other. Wedges of plain
white cake, with green frosting,
go well with this.
Dinner Decorations
For an Eastern dinner table, Mrs.
Merrill suggests a white rayon
cloth, white plates and crystal
goblets. In the glass basket use
white lilacs, if available, otherwise
white roses. Daffodils or even
better, the delicate poetica with
their graceful white petals and
yellow centers, are lovely too.
The best plan, she insists, is to
keep the color scheme green and
white and to make it a luncheon
instead Of a dinner.

Four days left to see '"The Fight
ing Seabees" which is just as color
full, exciting and FLOODED as its
title. This film at LoeW Poll theater
is the story of a two-fiSted group
of construction men-the G. B. unit
that can kill Japs as well as build
airf1eIds. You aren't bored for a sin
gle second while seeing "The Sea-
bees" 1.-THE Seabees' have hitherto
not been famed in f1lmdom, but this
story is enough to bring glory and
honor to them for years to come.
The acting is of uniform excellence.
The story of how Nays construc-
ton battalions came into being, and
the type of fighting and work they
do. There is a lively climax in
which they defend the island against
Jap attack. John Wayne as the pug
nacious Wedge Donovan, Dennis
O'Keefe makes sturdy lieutenant
commander and Susan Hayward is
attractive and capable. The script
is vigorous, pithily written &. .
and the basic CONFLICT is entirely
logical. The supporting cas- tbs sat-

cellent. You must put this hit on
your must" see list.
The co-hit on this program of hits
is the excellent musical Rosie the

there on trouble starts, you will
