'Distatf Day Tea
Set for Jam. I
By OAR Chapter

The Distaff day tea, given an
nually by the Constitution Chapter,
District OAR, will be held on Janu-
airy 7 in the chapter house, 1732
Massachusetts avenue NV. IT.
Mrs. Julius Y. Talmage, president

list Of invited guests which include
national officers, state officers,
chapter regents, State committee
chairmen, chapter members and
friends.
According to Mrs. Vina z. Op-
dycke, regent of the Constitution
Chapter, the Distan day tea has
been . chapter tradition for over
80 years. In bygone years, when
spinning wheels and dista1s were
not as rare as they are now, chapter
members dressed in Colonial cos
tune and preceded the reception
and tea with a procession, holding
in one hand lighted candle and
in the other q distaff. All that re-
mains now OF the tradition is the
reception and tea.
The chapter took its idea for the
celebration OF this particular day,
Mrs. Opdycke explains, from the
Colonial custom of observing Janu-
ary as the day all women returned
to their spinning after the Christ
mas festivities.
In the week preceding the Con-
stitution Chapter tea other OAR
chapters will resume their activities
after the holiday lull.
Election of delegates will be the
chief business of the Manor House
Chapter meeting at pm. Wednes-
day in the chapter house. The
District National Defense Commit
tee also will meet in the chapter
house at l. am. Friday.
Miss Ella Espey will be hostess
to the Richard Arnold Chapter when
it meets at 2:30 pm. Saturday in
her home in the Valley Vista Abart-
ments. She will be assisted by Mrs.
Frank Sherman and Mrs. James H.
Ferry.

greatest editorial writer's:
THE pioneer woman has been one
OF the most significant symbols of
American life. Her hands were the
forerunners of factories producing
household goods. She took on a
thousand duties of which her great
great-granddaughters do not even
know the names.

wife may realize this before her
husband does and she must COM
prehend that she is important.
"The pioneer woman of today is
the co-captain of the future"
Mrs. Dickinson is lending whole
hearted support to the contest, be-
lieving it will allow thousands of
women to express their views and
opinions on the modern woman's
place in the home, from which per-
haps may be cleaned many con-
structive and helpful ideas. She has
already sent copies of the rules gov
erning the contest to the $500 clubs
included in the federation.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick in Washington
recently attending the annual board
meeting of the federation, empha-
sized the importance of the CO.
operation of clubwomen in all mat
tiers pertaining to the American
home.
The general federation finds the
new year filled with interesting new
projects. In addition to the Atlantic
Monthly contest, members of the
federation have been invited to par
ticipate in the victory clothing COL
lection sponsored by the United
National Clothing Collection, Inc,
OF 100 Maiden lane, New York,
which opens January Z.
The campaign is designed to help
gather clothing for the needy in
war-stricken areas. Approximately
100 100000 garments, warm bedding
and shoes are needed for these
people.
The general federation presi-
dent and her Executive Committe
recently answered a request sent to
Mrs. Ruth Kelse Renfrow of st.
Louis, extension secretary of the
general federation, from a gen.
eral federation club in Athens,
Greece.
Received in letter from Electra
George, president of the Association
des Femmes de Lettres ct Artistes.
Of Athens, the request revealed the
urgent need for clothing and artists
supplies by each of the 120 members
of the Greek club.
An appeal was sent by Mrs. Dick
inson to 120 general federation
leaders throughout the United
States asking that each be willing to
accept responsibility for one Greek
clubwoman. The supplies now are
awaiting shipment on January 10
from New York.
Each package contains gift
sticker with the red, white and blue
insignia of the federation on which
the following message is written in
Greek and English and signed by
the sender of the package:
Il am sending this gift to you,
my sister clubwoman, with my
love. I hope it will express in a
small way my desire to be your
friend and my good wishes for the
future"

A Splendid Edition

That's a fine edition the State Port Pilot
of Southport has just Unsatisfactory pages
of news and advertising in excellent balance,
with attention particularly focused on tobacco
in the Border Belt area
Considering the difficulties incident to news
paper production during this war period, in
Guiding the manpower shortage, this special
edition is a miraculous accomplishment
There is an almost inexhaustable quantity
of information about business, farming and
people in the Pilots circulation territory. For
persons in this region not well acquainted with
the resources and achievements OF Brunswick
and contiguous counties, it offers splendid
encyclopedia well worth reading carefully and
filing away for future reference. For the people
of Brunswick it has equal filing value.
We congratulate the staff that worked so
t:relessly and competently to produce it.

Sounding Brass

When he was Prime Minister, Winston
Churchill was his own spokesman. His sue
cessor, Mr. Clement Attlee, not so articulate,
has already begun to speak, not like John
Alden finally did, for himself but through the
irrepressible Prof Harold J. Laski, the Labor
partys most vocal intellectual, and obviously
occupying place similar to that Of Harry
Hopkins in his earlier utilization with President
Roosevelt.
Laski seems destined to be the sounding
brass and the tinkling cynbal OF the Attlee
government.
But unlike Mr.. Hopkins, who is retiring
soul and always worked quietly, Mr.. Laskl re-
ouires a flourish of trunpets at evely entry
into print For example, we note this in yes
terday's Star:
IF may be irreverent for moment,
England was conquered twice in its history
once by William the Norman in 1866 and again
by Montagu the Norman in 1881" The latter
reference was to the crisis which caused the
downfall of the last British Labor government
when Montagu Collet Norman was governor
of the Bank of England.

Pietro Mascagni

Some men have greatness thrust upon them,
as others inherit riches, and some acquire it
by accident. An example of the latter is Pietro
Mascagni who died yesterday at 81, leaving
a 28-year-old widow
Mascagni composed his one good opera in
a competition at 26. Only at the last moment
he learned that the competition was limited
to one-act compositions. He had written Caval-
leria Rusticani in two acts There was no
time to revise and revamp and condense it
into one. All he could do was to tie the two
acts together, and in desperation he sat him
self down to that task The famous Intermezzo
was the result
That was nearly sixty years ago and while
Cavalleria as whole is almost forgotten, the
Intermezzo is as popular as ever and promises
to live on as long as music lovers exist
used chiefly as an enchore because of its
brevity, but always received with cheers. In
this it is like the Joslin Lullaby and Handel
Largo
Mascagni was in this country some years
ago and attained sort of negative fame, not
through guest-conducting much as because
American laundries didn't please him and he
complained in print of the way they Ibid up

From July to July u, Army

An additional 81 ,491 900 was put

case, the money is handed to the
soldier upon discharge. unless an
emergency arises and he needs it
beforehand.

For Lasting Peace

Contemplation of the possibility that the
world might be sucked into another war causes
mortal flesh to creep and immortal souls to
shudder. So much destruction Of human life,
such heavy debts, such Wastage CT wealth and
substance. have swept the nations in these
six years of conflict there can be no doubt
in anyone's mind that another war would bring
the end of civilization, the start Of worse
than the dark ages.
An illustration of what another war could
do is provided by the flight of Shooting
STAR jet-propeled fighter plane, which COW
cred the 589 miles from Dayton, Ohio, to La
Guardia field, New York, in an hour and two
minutes, as part of the Amy Air Force
speed through the air at this rate in planes
armed for destruction what chance has civil
cation anywhere to survive attack?
This new warplane, heralded as the fastest
vet sent aloft, has a maximum speed of $50
miles an hour and ceiling of $4,000 feet.
It does not represent the speed or ceiling that
might be developed in other planes in another
war emergency, nor is it the acme OF accom-
plishmetnt engineers are capable of devising
not in the air alone but in land equipment
and naval vessels. The slaughter in Europe
the destruction achieved by Halsey's Thire
Fleet the death toll on Okinawa, would b.
inconsiderable in comparison with what wollc
bannen in another decade or quarter century
if war again should come.
How can another war, then, be prevented;
