Grams OF the famed 32nd, which
rolled up more combat days than
any other division, are pouring into
Senator Arthur II. Vandenberg's
Office at a rapid clip.
Many come from the Senator's
home town Of Grand Rapids. Typlc-
al is the appeal from Tom Walsh,
chairman OF the Board OF Aero
nautics, who served with the divi-
sion in World War ! days. Walsh
says only congressional action
pushed by the states senior sena-
tor can reverse the War Depart
ment order.
The men OF the 32nd we're the
first TO land on Australia in May
1912, and they made history In
New Guinea, the Philippines.
A War Department spokesman
was firm in his praise of the war
service in the Pacific, but just as
firm that efficiency demanded
breaking the division. In the reas-
signment, Wisconsin was given the
break because 5000 more Wiscon-
sin men served, in a raIi,o Of almost
seven men to four. \ two-state
division means a divided command,
which is difficult for the command
ing officer.
The reactivatlon is in line with
the announced War Department
policy to do away with split units.
The Michigan regiments OF the
send will be, under tn War order,
part OF the 46th division.
The Michigan senator is investi-
eating ito see II anything can be
done" to keep the glorious 32nd

Every Michigan congressman
has something TO say about hous-
ing legislation. But a Detroit Dem
ocrat, Louis Rabaut, (whose two
boys during their final years in col
lege built $250,000 worth OF homes
ranging in prices from $4,000 20
$4,000 made a suggestion that's
causing comment.
Said Rabaut, concerned with CIV
Ing low-cost houses to veterans,
THE price OF the house must be
low in the beginning. Cn contrast
to the proposal that the purchase
be eased by granting longer period
of years In which TO pay.)
This is Rabaut's idea-"The way
TO do It is to give private industry
a production subsidy In the begin
ming for a specified period of time
and give the producers of building
material an honest and fair profit.
They are entitled to it. Get these
materials into the hands Of the

Children'S Letters
By A ngelo Pafri

The final words at parting with
the child who is about to go away
from home on vacation usually are
BE sure to write the minute you
get there" The promise to do SC
is prompt and well meant, but ii
may be difficult to write immedi-
ately: then, too, letters from the
country to town do not always travel
as fast as they do in town, where
there are many mail deliveries each
day. When there is but one delivery
day the mail is likely to seem
slow and delayed. All must be
considered in this matter of letters
home.
The best way out for the first
letter Is to have the traveller write
the message of his safe arrival on
a post card, which he is to post
the moment he arrives. Even then
make allowances for the excitement
strangeness and newness OF every
thing and be patient. If there is
trouble the news will travel swiftly
When the first letter comes an

would like to have others follow
make corrections in composition
spelling and the like. Take what
you get and be thankful and praise
it greatly. Don't, like one unfor-
tunately anxious mother, make a
red ink circle about each error In
spelling, punctuation and construc-
ton and return the letter with the
request that it be rewritten and
returned with the corrections. That

DorothyD
Says

Dear Dorothy Dix: I am a single
woman Of 80, in love with a widoWer
who wants to marry me, but the
hitch is that he has two children,
one II and one Is years old, and
my family object to the marriage
because of the children. What would
you suggest? BESSIE.
Answer think that before you
marry widower with children you
should look very deeply into your
own heart and determine whether
you are good stepmother material
or not. 1t is no easy job to pinch
hit for a real mother, for almost
all widowers' children have either
been spoiled rotten by their mothers
family, who were SO sorry for the
poor little dears or else they have
been banded about from relative
to relative, who didn't want them,
until they have been made hard,
tough and antagonistic to any one
who attempts to control them.
Tanning a couple of lion cubs will
be no trick at all compared to trying

is at the adolescent age, to realize
that what you are doing is for their
own good. But If you do succeed
in the task of winning the children's
love and respect and If you make
them q happy home in which they
can grow up to be fine people, you
will have accomplished a great mis-
sionary work.
In a recent article on the subject
of adopting children, Pearl Buck
says that no one should take a
child, not their own, to rear unless
they have an overwhelming love for
children not only for their own
children, but just for all children
That is wise saying and l heartily
commend 1t to you as guide in
making your decision. If you just
love children you will instinctively
know how to get along with them,
but If you are allergic to children
and they get on your nerves don't

When child leaves home for q
vacation, one of the important fac
tors in his going is his opportunity
for self direction. There will be
times when he must make a decision
for himself and he should have
that pleasure and experience. To
decree that he is not to decide about
his trips, his extras, without first
consulting home is to destroy the
feeling of liberty and responsibility
being away from home permits. Let

heYoung Idea
By Betty and Helen

about yourself that you never knew
you possessed. But whatever you
do, he maintains, "be yourself and
stay in your own age group" II
you are self-conscious about a flaw
in your facial features. don't moan
about 1t. Feature 1t. For example,
Mr.. Conover points out, that If you
have lower lip that comes out a
little bit-don't camoufiage it with
a smaller lipstick line. Emphasize
it and it'll be natural and on you
it'll probably look "cute." He
counsels look in the mirror and
discover what's good and what's
not SO good. Concentrate on ex-
actly what the mirror shows-not
overlooking or sliding over the bad
feature"
And for the girl planning to 60
to New York hunting for model
ing career. both Candy and Mr..
Conover say, BE prepared to live
for at least 3 months without any
income worries. II you have what
1t takes-even then 1t may be a
long, long time before things break
and come your way" So, don't have
your hopes too high. But keep
them high enough and make sure
you are free of all financial wor-
ries for long while.
Candy and the other Conover
girls have helped design a models
"hatbox' that we know teen-agers
will take to their hearts. 1t is
fitted inside for just about every
thing that they need. Made of
black plastic and trimmed with red
leather, the 'hatbox" is a perfect
travelling accessory note. 1t is not
yet on the market but is scheduled
to arrive soon, so keep on the look
out for it in our bigger shops.

When both Harry Conover (what
| girl aspiring to modeldom doesn't
know who he is?) and Candy Jones
Itop-flight model MRS. Conover in
private life) say that the teen-ager
ought to be proud to be herself and
not try to initiate Hedy Lemarr, we
think it is news that ought to be
passed on direct to the teen-ager. We
also think it of interest to teen-agers
to tell them about the other pointers
concerning modelling and general
tips that Candy and Mr.. Conover
mentioned when they were in town
last week.
According to Mr.. Conover, the
more flexible person is the better
model she will make. He suggests
that dancing Is one of the better
ways to achieve f1exibility. Not only
the ballroom variety, but by branch
Ing out into modern dance and the
ballet. He doesn't mean that you
ought to devote serious thoughts to
the dance" merely that you get the
feel and the benefits of co-ordina-
ton, grace, and agility that dancing
can give you.
Tipping" yourself isn't the an
swer to making yourself the glamour
girl you'd like to be. Candy Jones,
tall, blonde and beautiful model
who, running true to story book
form, married her boss-claims that
the best way to break into the
modelling setup is to do all the
hometown modelling you can get
your hands on. Fashion shows fea-
turing 'back-to-schoor' clothes,
charity shows, and high school fash
ion shows are good breaking Into
grounds for modelling. You'll grow
into modelling If you go about it in
such a fashion. Candy, who has been
modelling for five years, says that
now girls start much younger than
the II years at which she began her
career.
And now, Mr. Conover, on the
subject of "typing" yourself. He
says you should change" yourseli
every day. Don't stick to one hair
do and the same type of clothing
day in and month out. Change
It's fun and you'll discover a lot
