battle fronts. In charge Of all
theater and movie tickets at the
famous Rainbow Corner for service
men, she says she gained broad
understanding of the men of all ma
tions in their selection of theatrical
entertainment.
Last year, the English girl directed
her energies in managing and super
vising Red Cross Club for Ameri-
can Red Cross girls in London.
1T was one of the incest jobs i'm
aginable," she declared, THE girls
were so appreciative of all that was
done for them and it meant a home
for them away from home"
Although she spent a week or SO
in New York, en- route to Washing
ton, Miss Churchill-Longman, who
is staying at the Mayf1oWer, finds
pre-Christmas preparations in the
Capital much more attractive than
in New York.
Washington Women Smart.
"And I find the Washington wom-
en- much smarter and more attrac-
tive" she added.
Incidentally, Miss Churchill
Longman is half American. as her
mother was Sarah Kavanaugh Of
st. Louis and a sister of 1t Col
Joseph Kavanaugh of Alexandria,
Sailing from Oslo for the States,
the English girl met Nine. Scott
Hansen, en- route with her husband
and two small sons. Andreas, aged
7. and Peter, 3 years old, for
their new home in Washington. The
two women became friends and their
exchange of war experiences, ce-
mented more closely the bonds.
"As We drove through Brooklyn
after our arrival at the pier" Mrs.
Scott Hanson recalled, I'VE were
more enthusiastic even than the
children over what we saw. Or
anges and bananas and fruits which
the children had never seen. Look!
they cried. Bananas and oranges!
They couldn't believe 1t true"
1t will be a different Christmas

than those spent in Oslo during
NaZi occupation.
I'VE we're hungry all the time"
she declared. I'VE tried to keep up
our spirits in spite of the Nazis and
gather our friends for parties. Each
person brought his or her own small
can of sardines for refreshments
Coffee sold for s125 per kile," she
added. 1--WE practically ruined our
selves buying such things as coffee
and tea, but we had to do something
We determined that no matter what
they might do to us, the Nazis would
not kill our morale"
The Norwegian diplomats wife,
like her English friend, is also partly
American, her mother having been
originally from Pittsburgh.
Bost visitors agree they are happy
to be in the land of their mothers
this Christmastime, and their one
regret is that they cannot share
the gayety and plenty of America
with their friends across the seas.

Bag Conmitte,

A great sack Of letters was de-
livered yesterday to OAR headquar-
tiers from servicemen still lover
there" expressing appreciation for
the many thousands of buddy bags
which the Daughters have been
sending to cheer up those who must
still remain away from home at
Christmas until replacements can
be found.
Last year the OAR packed and
sent thousands of buddy bags to
men of the armed services, and let
ters came back from many of the
boys saying the buddy bag was all
they had received for Christmas and
how much they appreciated the gift
and the thought behind it.
The end of the war did not mean
scrapping this project for members
of the OAR. In fact, according to
Mrs William A. Becker of Westfield,
N. j., chairman of national defense
and director of the buddy bag prof.
ect, the buddy bag quotas have
been increased.
I'VE have happy hearts this
Christmastime, she said. THE great
war is over. America and her Allies
have been triumphant. Our country
remains free and independent, the
greatest democracy on earth.
Hundreds of thousands of our
boys, however, cannot be home this
holiday season. They must remain
to serve our country. They sing
their Christmas carols in the Pa
cific isles, in Germany, China, the
Philippines, even in Japan.
I'VE hope they will be remem-
bered, not only at this time but as
long as they serve. If the buddy
bags with their little gifts car
gladden. the hearts of these boys
we will be amply repaid for all OF
the time and work in preparing
and shipping them"
The buddy bag project was one
of the first adopted by the OAR a,
the outset Of the war. The bags

Christmas in Camp.
Recalling two Christmases in
England, Miss Hastings declared
that never-to-be-forgotten event |
was her first Christmas at the camp
where she was billeted at High
Wycomb, about 20 miles from
London, when they were served
fresh eggs for breakfast" Having
arrived in England in August, the
former WAC corporal explained
that whereas American service
people were we'll fed. they did not
enjoy the luxury of fresh eggs but
had learned to eat, if not enjoy,
egg dishes prepared from the dried
variety.
Gifted with a lovely lyric colora-
tura voice, Miss Hastings partici-
pated in many concerts abroad and
at Christmas both last year and
the year before, entertained men in
hospitals and camps singing Christ
: mas carols. She described her sur
prise while preparing her program
to find that many of the carols
considered in the United States to

Night or 'Cantique de Noel" she
. said, "the orchestra conductor, who
accompanied me, had never heard
it but liked it immensely after hear
ing it sung"
Another factor contributing to the
former WAC's happiness this year is
the KNOWLEDGE her friends are safe
and not likely to be sent off on a
sudden battle mission.
Many of the boys had their leaves
Cancelled last Christmas" she said,
particularly the flyers who were
called in Christmas Day and sent
out on special missions"
WedQlngS IN England.
In addition to entertaining on
programs, Miss Hastings said she
helped many of her WAC friends
by singing at their weddings. She
gave warm praise to clubwomen of
the United States who donated we'd
ding gowns for the use of service
women married while on overseas
duty.
Those wedding gowns meant so
much to our girls" she declared. ut
was the only time they got out of
uniform and they certainly did look
lovely. The clubwomen and others
who sent the gowns met real need
by their thoughtfulness."
Miss Hastings, who is now living
at the Highlands, expects to spend
Christmas with relatives in Rich
mond. Later, she plans to take
advantage of the CT educational
benefits and study voice and
dramatics with the thought of en-
tering into the field of dramatic
broadcasting.
The shop windows of Washington
have also proved fascinating to at
tractive Miss Churchill -Longman,
who ever since the blitz fell from
the skies on England has spent
every Christmas in London.
For two years, Miss Churchill
Longman helped entertain the great
armies of battle-weary men who
surged in and out of the British
capital coming and going from

These men did not all have the same back

Wine. Clean Bunch"
lHEY were, as one of the townspeople told
me, "a fine, clean bunch of men," Had they
been left to shift for themselves in their box
cars on the edge of the village, things might
have been different. Had they been treated
with the suspicion and hostility with which,
gates, they might have had lonely, unhappy
time of it.
Men like these spent periods of six to IL
months with us. Beaver Dams was not the
only neighborly and hospitable community.
There we're others. The so workers near
Natick, Mass, were given Christmas party
complete with Santa Claus, tree and pres
ents for all. In Montana, the farmers studied
Spanish in order better to understand these
men who were helping with their crops. COL
leges in Maryland and Michigan and Cali
fornia took an interest in them.
These men, who received fair treatment
from us, returned to their homes as our
friends. There they will continue to pass on
to their children and their neighbors the warm
feeling won for us by the people who, in
towns, villages and on farms, did the simple,
kindly things that, more than diplomatic
conferences and treaties, brings nations to-
gether in friendship. The End

Offers Her Sympathy
ONE dark day during their stay, Jose Valadez
got letter telling of the death of his baby.
All that day he sat dejectedly on the steps of
the car. From her office in the railroad sta
ton, the postmistress noticed him and went
over to ask what was the matter. That night
she wrote to the bereaved mother She trea-
sures the reply.
Il would never have believed" it said,
that from so far away, someone would ac-
company me in my sorrow" And she begged
