A JoyOss Easter

l "A Joyous BAeser
 A bright sun aided and abetted the ladies to shine brightly in yes- terdAy's Easter parade. To the style. conscious, the annual fashion pag. cant was slightly disappointing. Though 1t was apparent that many of the ladies' turned out once again in last years coat or suit, there was q satisfactory display Of Easter bonnets. The lowered and veil var. iety proved to be a favorite with cartwheelS and halos of straw tax. ing second place. The new crownless version, judging by It's popularity, will be very popular until fall, A male spectator yesterday described 1t les enc of those lids with big hole on top" adding the assertion, "The less they get for their money the napier they are" Though fem- mine tastes in clothing may Dc slightly iSlcotnprehensible to the masculine mind, 1t cannot be denied the distaff side does some profound thinking ct times. The absence of new garments in yesterdays Easter parade may have been the woman's way of keeping faer man from suf- fertng greater embarrassment bee cause mems clothing Is practically unobtainable. Ills shabbiness cer- tainly would have been accentuated in sharp contrast by c feminine dis play of elegance.
 But unquestionahly 1t was the most joyous Easter many had ex- pefienced in years. Peace hath its victories. The empty chairs of form. CT years were filled ct the festive board, and there was laughter in ale most every heart. Thousands took leisurely afternoon ride through the countrywide where the forsythia, and magnolia blossom blazoned forth color and beauty, against the fresh green of the fields.
 Of course, the day also brought its problems. Mother took off with two white gloves for the left hand. Baby ate too many candy eggs from her Easter basket. And father could not forget about all the work he was facing in his gardenl But all in all 1t was a holiday to remenlberl
 The Way tO Peace
 Though peace has returned to America and the world, and the na- jcrIty of our fighting men are now back in civilian clothes, we must remember that we have won the war but not the peace. The price must be paid for that desired end is the same as that of war-sacrifice and work. And they fall equally on the shoulders of women. Today the greatest effort that must be made in winning the peace is in the matter of food conservation. Mil- lions of people in Europe and Asia are dying of starvation and are crying for bread. A meal compris- ing powdered eggs ands black bread is considered a bountiful feast by the suffering dislocated people all over the war-torn, bruised, and bat- tered continents. Young children. who know the devastation and death caused by bombs, today are drifting into relief camps, hand in hand, begging for food and shelter. Millions are suffering from tuber- CulOsis, and other ailments caused by years Of malnutrition. There Is no solution except for America to give and to sacrifice. We are our brothers' keepersl Revolutions and wars spring from poverty and starv- ation. So let us conserve food to preserve the future peace of the woridl

Just Chatter
BY BETTY BLANCHARD

in feminine circles, particularly those comprised of working women. There is little doubt that merchants desire nothing SO much as to strike e satisfactory solution of this prob. lem, and they are striving in varis ous ways to meet an all.round dee mand. Some hand them out to those who have the time to stand lYf sidewalk queques, others distrib. ute them by the postal card syS- tenn. and few retailers put the names of their account holders in the drum, with the lucky selection tax. ing the pearl of great prize.
 Most women with little time for shopping, contend, however, that nylon stockings should be distribut- ed by ration cards either issued by the stores or the government. If a hole were punched in the card when e pair of nylons was pur- chased, they contend, the possibility of two pairs being sold to a GUS. toner would be eliminated. This procedure possibly entails more work for the merchant.
 There is, we think, another way to assure a fairer distribution of nylons to all. That Is for the hoard- CT to abandon her selfish practice, and consider others. It is reported, via the grapevine route that not a few women with plenty of time on their hands to do the rounds and wait in line, are boasting they possess no less than a dozen or 20 pairs of nylons. This is grossly tin. fair to women who are working. A few weeks ago we spoke to a woman factory worker who must keep at her job and manage @ home. The only time she had to shop was Sat- urday when stocking lines are singularly missing. She didn't have e pair of stockings to her name, and her bare legs were blue from the cold winds. Hoarding scarce mater ials is just as wrong and hateful now as during the war years. We fought and worked for victory that such selfishness might be eliminat- ed throughout the world. There may appear to some minds to be a broad gap between victory and hoarding today. But there isn't. |. and 1t would be well to remember we suffered though 6 four-year war in order that all. everywhere. {. might share fairlyI
