A 22-year-old WAVE stationed at
Arlington Farms, Va, today told a
Montgomery County Circuit Court
jury at Rockville that Robert
Shackelford, %, Washington bellboy,
attempted to attack her September
Is in a wooded section near Great
Falls.
She said she and two other
WAVES had driven to the old gold
mine property on Macarthur boule-
ward with Shackelford and two other
men, after they had drunk some
beer at a Washington restaurant.
She said the alleged attempted
assault occurred after the two other
WAVES had left the car with two
of the men, leaving her alone with
Shackelford.
Tried to Kiss Her.
When he entered the car, she said
Shackelford tried to kiss her and
she pushed him away.

NURSE
BY Iona l.. TROTT
Assistant Director,
Red Gross Nursing Service
Written for NEA Service

When CT Joe of my acquaint-
ance went overseas last year, mis-
wife moved in with her mother
who was in failing health and
n e d d care. Gradually the
mother became more helpless
and had to spend most of her
time in bed.
Money was scarce in this fam
lily and the wise home nurse had
to improvise equipment to simp-
lily the care of the patient and to
make life as interesting for her
as possible. She had the usual
bed blocks to elevate the bed,
but this gave her another idea.
She persuaded kindly neighbor
to make stills for an ordinary
iron cot to bring it up to the level
Of the bed, SO that the patient
could be moved very easily from
the bed to the cot and rolled out
into the living room for a change
Of scene every day.
The stills were made of AKA
sticks of timber about l8 inches
high. A hole about six inches
deep. was bored in one end to
hold the leg of the cot. Casters
were fitted to the stills so the
cot could be rolled about easily.
AS a precaution against splitting,
the stills were reinforced around
each end with a firm band OF
metal that was fastened securely.
IMPROvISED WHEELCHAIR
When the doctor warned, as
precaution against pneumonia,
that the patient must sit up in the
chair for q part of each day,
there was need for an inexpen-
sive wheel chair. A small plat
form was built and mounted on
ballbearing casters. Cleats were
nailed across the platform at just
the right distance. to hold secure
~ the legs Of comfortable little
maple arm chair. The platform
extended far enough in the front
to hold a small homemade foot
stool.
The chair was we'll upholstered
and made a comfortable seat for
the patient, In which she could
be wheeled about the house,
where she could watch what was
going on, and even wipe a few
dishes or do little mending by
way Of being helpful

ket restaurants have been closed
by the Government, so that even
people who could afford to pay
$50 head for a meal have a
hard time finding one and now
run added risk of being fined if
the place is raided by the police.
STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE
The average Frenchwoman's
life has changed considerably
with the war. Not only must
she often assume all the respon-
sibility Of bringing up a family
due to the absence of her hus-
band who is eitheS a prisoner of
war or who, under the occupa-
ton, was deported to Germany
or obliged to join the "maquis"
but she was faced with untold
difficulties in the mere struggle
for existence.
These difficulties have not dis.
appeared with the liberation.
Women still have to stand in
line for meat, bread and veget-
ables. Many household chores
have TO be done at the end of
the day because there is electric
light only from 5 p. m. to a.
m, with the exception of one
hours current at midday which
is barely sufficient to prepare a
meal
.RT OF MAKE-DO -
Soap is as scarce as butter and
largely a mixture of chalk and
sand. Cleaning products such
as polishes are practically nom
existent. Wornout pots and pans
cannot be replaced. Dry-clean-
ers take from eight to ten weeks
to clean a suit or dress. The
problem Of keeping a family's
wardrobe in order is an acute
one.
Despite the difficulties,
Frenchwomen contrive to look
neat and well cared for, from
the little midinette to the mid
dle-class housewife. You hear
little recrimination. On the
contrary, they are inclined to
feel proud, and justifiably so,
about the way in which they
overcome their difficulties. AL
ways thrifty. they did not need
war and four years of mass re-
QUESTIONING to teach them the
art of make do and-mend.

We are appealing even to
those who do not belong to the

slider collaboration with all ma
tins of a Christian civilization
because there can be no advant-
age to humanity without basis
of Christianity.-Pope Plus XII.
Mexico has aligned herself at

and has sent troops - those
which are being trained in. the
U. S. now - to fight at the side
of our Allies. - Manuel Avila

The Polish question concerns
the permanent settlement Of re-
lations in Europe such as will
guarantee harmony and is close
ly linked with bases Of future
lasting peace. - Polish Premier

For. me, the greatest coach

Jesus Christ. Christ in the heart
gives us the only happiness that
will endure. The only way to
run the race of life is to run it
with Christ. - Gil Dodds, in

1t is not a dreamer's world to
say that we must have law and

p ARTS - Americans who
knew Paris before the war are
pleasantly surprised when they
return to the city tcdey. Out
wardly, Paris is practically un-
scathed. There seem to be no
striking changes in the homes
they once knew.
The women still appear to be
chic. The children have been
invited to share a meal with a
French family have come away
invariably convinced that Paris
ianS still eat we'll.
There is a very simple explain
alton for this. The Frenchwo-
man is even prouder than the
Frenchman. After four years of
occupation and privations, no
Frenchwoman would allow her
friends, or even chance ac-
quaintances from overseas. to
guess at the thousand difficulties
with which she daily had been
obliged to contend.
Ever since the Liberation of
France, and this is especially
true of Paris, too many snap
judgments have been made by
soldiers of the Allied forces who
have been invited to French
homes. All have exclaimed
about the excellent meals they
have eaten and only too natur-
ally concluded that the shortage
of food in France must surely be
a myth.
DIP INTO 'RATIONS
They knew too little about the
customs of the country to realize
the extent of ingenuity and trou-
BILE to which their hostess had
resorted in order to produce this
meal. In the first place, it is
more than likely she dug deep
into her iron rations and re-
serves which had been carefully
saved over long period for just
such an occasion. In the second
place, she never would have ex-
tended the invitation without
being sure she would be able
to receive them as in the old
days. That is why every meal a
stranger shares with a French
FAM ly is always good.
Today, months after liberia
ton, there are few hostesses who
can give a dinner-party. There
are no more reserves and all the
iron rations have been eaten up.
Except for very small minor
ity of privileged people who
own country homes and can
bring into the city certain
amount o. farm produce such as
butter, eggs, meat and cheese,
the majority of housewives for
the last months have had TO rely
on current rations, which are de-
finitely insufficient.
There are many well-to-do
people. these days whose evening
meal Consists Of very thin soup
and potatoes. They eat precious
little more than that at noon.
The reason for this is that the
