Talk of We and vi day and
the rehabilitation they imply means
a wave of hat, dress and jewelry
buying for every girl In khaki, navy
blue and forest green. And when
you see us window shipping before
the seasons latest ensemble, we are
probably trying to visualize our
selves once more in the clothes we
wore way back when," and are
wondering just what donning uni
form has done to our clothes taste.
Naturally, very few have been
demobilized as yet, or will be in the
near future, except those who have
to resign due to pregnancy. How
ever, as one of those in the latter
category, and since maternity clothes
are no longer a fashion apart, I
think WAVE lieutenant's reaction
to her first impact with civilian
clothes in over two years Is pro-
phetic of the days to come when
the GI James become just plain
Jane again.
Wearing a uniform means many
changes In a woman's life besides
submission to military discipline. 1t
gives her a whole new set of clothes
habits, many of which are influ-
ential when she leaves her regi-
mented apparel aside. Most promi-
nent is the fact that probably for
the first time in her life, a girl
wears the same clothes day after
day, month after month, with only
seasonal and functional variations
prescribed by regulations Even
though this results in certain in
evitable amount of boredom, it also
breaks down the well known femi-
nine foible of thinking that in order
to be well dressed, one has to wear
a different dress and hat every day
The civilian counterpart of this, 1
believe. will be neither a continuing
Of wearing the same thing every day
nor reaction in the other direc-
tion Of dozens Of changes of clothes.
Now that 1 have learned to wear
the same clothes all the time and
still feel we'll dressed, I am going
to be far more satisfied with fewer,
better clothes. worn more often.
We have learned that quality of
materials and workmanship, which
the Government guaranteed us in
our uniforms and which we now
search for in civilian clothes, and
good grooming, which is even more
of a must" in uniform than in
civilian clothes. take the curse off
wearing the same dress on many
different ncca SiopS
Because regulations rarely permit
us to go out of doors without a
hat and gloves, some of us may be
more formal in this regard in the
future than in the past. in contrast
to a general trend away from such
badges of formality. I personally
don't intend to go to the corner
grocery store in hat unless it is
raining, but it will be long time,
if ever, before I will feel right about
going into hotel lobby without one.
The United States hat industry
can thank the United States Navy
for that.

Guard Your Dog
From Dog-Napping

Dog owners of this community
and those who added dog to their
family circle this Christmas are
urged to take special precautions
to prevent their pets from being
stolen, in communication receiv-
ed by the Sentinel from the Gaines
Dog Research Center;~ New York
City.
The demand for dogs is greater
than the supply, and well-bred,
well-trained dogs are bringing
premium prices. This, no doubt,
is the incentive behind the dog
mapping racket which is sweeping
the nation, the Center states.
According to the Center, regis
tered tatooing Of dogs is rapidly
coming to the fore as supple
ment to dog license tags for canine
identification. 1t is pointed out
that license tags and collars are
easily lost, stolen or transferred,
whereas registered tattoo on a
dogs ear or flank like brand
on cattle or the engine number on
car is practically infallible as
identification. 1t is further pointed
out that if every licensed dog were
also permanently, tagged with his
personal number, it would make
for much easier dealing with the
stray dog problem than is the case
at the present time.
