Even the wars end won't mean
the cessation of our war efforts.
Not by a long shot. And one
of the most important things in
the rehabilitation of our return
ing men-those who were wound
ed and especially those who were
the undernourished and starved
prisoners of the Germans-is to
see that they get adequate and
proper diets.
Here's where the, Red Cross
Canteen Corps comes to the
front. Just as it has all during
the war. The training which
the women Of the corps get is of
equal value to them in the post
war running of their homes and
serving the returned wounded in
the hospital recreation centers.
Right now the Canteen Corps
needs many more volunteers.
There's new Streamlined nu-
trltlon-canteen course Begin
ming May 8, and for those who
have had the nutrition part of
the course there's series of
canteen lectures beginning May
%. The entire course will be
completed June 10. Volunteers
are especially needed for the
summer garden canteen behind
the Chapter House which feeds
daily luncheons to around 900
service men and women and Red
Cross workers. Completion OF
the course entities volunteers to
serve with the mobile canteens
and at nearby camps as hostesses
to returning veterans. tCall Re-
public 5000 and volunteer
Executive chairman of the
D. c. Chapter Canteen Corps is
Mrs. Edmund Kochersperger,
who told me some of the reasons
why she chose canteen work for
her share in the war effort. She
feels that the knowledge one
acquires of well-balanced meals
and the value of specific foods in
the diet, in addition to the train
ing in serving and preparing food
in large quantities for mass feed
ing, is something every woman
should know. She thinks the
training has far-reaching aspects
in making women of great value
in the communities where they
may make their homes after the
war.
During the last war, Mrs.
Kochersperger, the former Miss
Anna Benson. was a student at
the New England Conservatory
of Music. With a group of other
students she visited Camp
Devens and other nearby camps
and gave concerts for the men.
She has a charming, well-trainsd
voice and before her marriage
sang professionally with the Chi
cago Opera Co. Now her sing
ing takes second place to her war
work, although she has done
some solo work in local churches
since the war.

Union Conference, supported Sid
ney Hillman, CIO representative,
today in a proposal for a new world

Mr.. Kuznetsov said in an address
that, despite political differences
among nations, labor unions could
organize internationally; and he
suggested the organization of a

as an urgent necessity.
Mr.. Hillman had proposed that
the conference create an all-in-

replace the International Federation

the Soviet Union and would reserve
a place for the American Fedora
