unprecedented step. announced 70
day as a decision Of the National
Council FOR a Permanent FEPC,
81 seeking \ vote on FEPC lcglS-

Mrs. Anna Arnold Hedgeman.
executive secretary Of the ma

comprehensive bulletin listing
the reasons which prompted the
organization To discard the ira
ditional pattern Of steering bills
specifically affecting minoritieS
through Congress. Such bills.
like the Anti-Lynch and Anti
Poll Tax Bills have usually been
passed through the House before
they faced Senate action.
THE CLOSING OF all but three
of the regional offices Of the war
time FEPC reflects the growing
incffectlveneSs Of that agency, and
fOreshadOWs It's end. Reports from
almost every section Of the country
definitely indicate induStrys re-
conversion 20 the pre-war pattern
OF JOB discrimination. Some sec
tons show that so per cent OF job
orders are discriminatory Ind
cations from every quarter OF the
United States are that the grass

starched pique, handled in inventive ways; from fanciest-yet printed woolen, and from such costume de- vices as detachable capes and stole like scarves, which look as new as the l945 calendar when they're done in stripes, checks and window pane plaids. An example is the Philip Mangone- designed coat shown left. Posed against solid black woolen top, black and white window-p pane plaid makes the skirt and stole-like scarf of this coat.
 "Silk" coats-alpaca, bengaline, faille and surah-replace wool in many coat collections and make some of the drassiest wraps of the season. You'll see them in all lengths from touching capelets to hem -matching ems m bleS I 0 T teamed~up dresses. Some of the most Hitting styles are done in striped "silks"-as boldly patterned as a beach-chair's upholstery -- t h stripes running at cross-purposes for costume appeal, as are those shown on the Adele Simpson designed coat at the right in black, wine and pow der blue surah. As are many New York-styled silk" coats, this can be worn belted or loose, depending up- on your whimS or figure needs.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-01-18

New York.-When coats can keep their status quo as wraps and still step out as the showiest costume pieces in feminine wardrobes, they make news. And that's their story this spring, written by designers who have let go of their color and style tnhibitions and borrowed freely of fabrics that rightfully belong to silk suits.
 Fly farther allusion to Joseph's coat aS one combining the most colorS will be out when you see newest toppers the 33inch-to- 36-inch styles which combine more and make their poster bright appeal in flannel, suede cloth, gabardine and fleecy woolan. Sometimes fur trimmed with whopping bands and other opulent bits, they are more often logged out with braid-grill- work scrolls and plain bindings saucy buttons, embroidery or print scarves ingeniously used in lieu of collars knitted pockets anc collars of yarn dye-dipped tt match coat colors, as for example the Emily Wlkens junior topper shown center In leaf green wool.

Ducks are rich, fat boney birds. A 5-pound duck serves never more than 4 people. while a slightly smaller one is often cut and served in halves. But duck is cheaper per pound than other birds.
 About the extra richness Of our welI-fed American ducks, here Is the rule: always pre-bake the duck, no matter how you plan to serve it. Much of the extra lat will be baked out, leaving only a veautiful crisp crust and a not-too- rich. moist meat.
 Pluck, singe. draw and wash the duck well. Rub inside and out with salt. pepper and your favorlte herb, such as powdered thyme, marjorom. sage or poultry seasoning. Puncture the surface of the skin, using a cooking iorK (this will permit the fat to run out more freely during baking) Place on rack in roatsing pan breast up. Roast, uncovered m a moderate oven (350 degrees FJ 3-4 to hour. Pour off all fat an then proceed with further prepara- ton according to any of the follow ing recipes,
 Duck With Herb Stuffing
 Fiye-pound pre-baked duck. cups dry bread crumbs or very small cubes of dry bread. Bounce can mushrooms. tcaspoo salt Ia teaspoon pepper. l-4 cup minced onion, tart apple finely chopped l-4 cup finely minced celery, tablespoons boiling water, i-2 tea spoon poultry seasoning for a mix

and by the same methods.
 The Commissioner didn't say that women keep in shape by golf, ten- nIs, hunting or any other alluring sports. He said they keep in shape by scrubblng floors. washing win- dows, doing laundry, etc. In other words, they have taken over all the hard, strenuous jobs that make for physical endurance and have left the men only snow shoveling -- which often proves too great a strain on them.
 So, strictly for mems own good, let's divide up the hard jobs around the home, and not hog all the phy- sical benefits from hard labor our- selves.
 TAKE TURNS
 Let's let the men take turns at scrubbing, washing clothes and win- doWs, moving furniture, etc. And then they'll be tough enough to take on the job Of snow Shoveling.
 "Ill shovel the snow this winter, John. But by next winter I'm go- ing to see that you are in good enough condition to do it yourself HowP Well, come on down to the basement with me, and I'll get you started right now. There's pile of clothes that could be washed as well tonight as tomorrow morn- ing"

 nome nurse keeps a supply of juices, canned soups and broths on her pantry shelf which she can prepare at a moments no- tice.
 Liquid diet is usually advisable in the beginning of an illness, when there is an elevation of temperature, or when there are signs of digestive disturbance. Liquids are easily digested and refreshing although generally low in food value. Milk in all Its forms is the most nourishing li- quid food, but 1t is not permitted in certain types of illness. When the pSysician orders liquid dict, be sure to ask him if the patient may have milk. If so you can vary the menu little by giving buttermilk, egg nog, matted milk, milk shakes, chocolate milk and milk soups.
 SERVE COOL JUICES
 Canned fruit and vegetable juices arc especially refreshing to the patient with fever They should be kept in the ice box and served cold. When the can has been opened any juice left over should be placed in fruit jar and cover With tight lid to pre- vent loss of Vitamin content.
 Lemonade and orangeade, pref erably strained, are old stand bys of the home nurse. They are especially tasty and refreshing, are nigh in vitamins. and help to stimulate elimination. Carbonat- cd drinks are permitted in liquid diet sometimes, but these should not be given without permission from the physician.
 The patient on liquid diet should be fed every or 3 hours unless the doctor orders other wise.
