by the reports that the sloppy Joe
era is over. What do you and your
heps think? Some people say that
the jeans and sloppy shoes have
gone the way of wartime era.
But it looks like everybody but
the kids believe it.
In the first place there are
those new hoop dresses. Can
you imagine ice-skating, motor
boating or bicycling in one of
those contraptins? You'd look
like something out of Currier
and Ives.
Then there are bustle-backs
which l bet would be just ducky
on the school bus or subway
train.
But, 1 guess the kids will like
'em for Parties. They look very
romantic and colonial and honey
suckle and everything.
Natalie Boman writes that
the kids at the Hibbing High
school, MIMI, are interested in
getting a good movie film on
grooming. l think more schools
should take an interest in good
grooming, don't you?-Maybe
then the kids will learn what
others (of their age) think and
feel about fashion and beauty.
By the bye, did I tell you about
this? At luncheon of the Boy
Scouts of America, General Mac
Arthur medals for excellence in
Victory Gardening were presented
to representatives of all youth
groups by the National Victory
Garden Institute and a message
from General Macarthur COM
mended the kids on their mag
nificent spirit and tireless energy
in helping increase the agriculture
production to meet demands of
war! So you see all that lettuce
and herb business we fused about
wasn't in vain after all, cookie.
Iowa State College heps re-
port that Bob SCHWARTZ has
been made sports editor Of the
Daily Student. Before Bob was
a BIS flying instruction, he
spent two years as editor of
the Fenton, Iowa, Reporter.
Did you get in on the Westing-
house Science Talent Search con-
test this year? Apparently the
finals have narrowed down to in
clude 20 boys and IL girls in the
competition for $11 900 in scholar
ships All the finalists have been
awarded free trips to Washington:
Maybe you knew some of the kids:

great and the organization will well
come young women who are quail
ned to serve as volunteer leaders for

served October to IL, and will open

several subjects Tor study and con-
sideration, including the new revised
Book of the Camp Fire Girls" pro-
gram planning, classes in nature,
handcraft, music and other special

Any young woman with time on
her hands" who feels she gets along
well with girls and is interested in
their activities could find no more
enjoyable occupation than serving as
leader with some Camp Fire group.
Camp Fire places special empha-
sis on the home and homemaking,
and learning to cook is an impor-
tant part of the Camp Fire Girls
program. Outdoor cooks" are par
ticularly popular with the girls. so
that the younger housekeeper with a
yen" for outdoor cooking could
combine pleasure and helpfulness by
participating as leader with the
girls on one of their outdoor trips
on Saturday during the fall season.

sistant executive, and Miss Char
