Attending Meet Of
Culinary Crafts

The first international conven-
ton of the Hotel and Restaurant
Employees international Alliance
and B n ders' international
League of America held since the
beginning of the War is now in
session in Milwaukee.
Local 631 is represented by six
delegates-Don Baldwin, Roberta
Baldwin, Robert Roncal, George
Samson, James Gilliland and John
E. Hunt.
All of the delegates are officers
of the local with the exception Of
Roberta Baldwin, who is office
manager of the union. President
Hunt was unable to leave with the
rest of the delegation and planned
to catch him a plane on April 3
in order to be on hand when the
convention opens on the morning
of April 4.
Second Vice-President George
DeTalente and Organizer Ellis
Humphrey are conducting the
business of the local during the alb
sence of the other officers. The
convention will end on April II
and the Arizona delegates will re-
turn Immediately thereafter.
D. A. Baldwin, secretary of Lo-
cal 631, is a candidate for a vice
presidency of the International,
representing District Six, which in
cludes the states of Kansas, New
Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Ari-
zona, and the vast majority of del
egates from that district are
pledged to his support. It is under
stood that Gustava Holohan, Inter-
national Representative assigned to
that district, will nominate Bald
Win..
Since there were no conventions
held during the war years there
will undoubtedly be hundreds of
propositions to come before the

that if you should become totally
disabled for a period of six months
or longer, VA will pay your
monthly premiums for as long as
your disability continues and re-
fund the payments made after the
date of disability. In addition, even
while your premiums are being
waived, you may convert a term
policy to any kind of permanent
policy except an endowment and
VA will continue to waive your
premiums during your period of
total disability.
Another feature is called "dis-
ability income rider. This clause
added to your, policy requires that
you take physical examination
and pay a small extra charge, but
it gives you a monthly income of
SIS for each $1,000 of insurance
you are carrying if you should be-
come totally disabled for six
months or longer. Payments begin
on the first day of the seventh
month after your date of disa-
bility, and continue as long as
your disability exists.
A loan ON any converted type
NSLI policy is available after the
policy is one year old. You may
borrow up to "a percent of the
cash value of your policy at four
percent annual interest. NSLI also
allows a three percent discount
for each year premiums are paid
in advance.
Perhaps the most important
feature of all for veterans who
have service-connected disabilities
(other than totaD is that they can
still buy NSLI, disability rider and
all. It is probably the only in
surance they can get if they are
not already insured. The deadline
for reinstating or buying NSLI
while disabled is January 1, 1850.

that if boy was going to drink, he should be

He rurnmaged in the icebox, came out with
bottle and opened it. She added milk to
the cocoa, watching him. He tilted the bottle
into his mouth, took swallow and grinned
at her.

Abruptly. she heard Cleo drop off LIS
bed with flumph. Abby moved quietly away
from George. listening As a secret compro-
mise with herself, she'd left their bedroom
door open shadow of crack She only, she
told herself wanted to be sure that Liz got
in safely; and that she could hear the phone
in case Liz called up and was in any kind of
trouble. Liz need never know Even if George
should waken and find the door open, Abby
would say the wind had done it.
She heard the click of the spaniel's toenais
going slowly down the stairs. Cleo could be
mistaken, of course, but she hardly ever was.
Even though she was getting ancient and
deaf, she seemed to have sixth sense about
Liz. Abby waited tensely. Then, with gush
of relief, she heard the key in the lock.
She lay tense, waiting for voices. 1t might,
of course, be Little George. But you never
had to strain to hear Little Georges farewells
the fraternity house and only coming home
SpUdolcaiy on week ends.
t1E HAD plenty of girls, but he and his fra
ternity brothers often thriftily took their
dance dates home early and then stopped for
sandwiches and beer. Sometimes they had
quite lot of beer. Once, he'd tiptoed loudly
halfway up the stairs, lost his balance and
clattered down. Then, after a long moment,
he'd picked himself up and tiptoed up again.
Big George and Abby had cMtched each
other in silent hysterical laughter, but they
hadn't mentioned the incident to George It
wasn't part of the game.
At last Abby heard voices. Low-murmurs.
LIS, sounding little-girl polite The front
door closed. Abby settled back on the pillow.
For what seemed like an eternity, there was
no sound. Then the clock struck twelve. de-
iberately. Abby sat up in bed. From the
bottom of the stairs, she heard strangled
gasp. She waited, her ears aching from the
effort of trying to hear more. The gasp was
repeated. Abby slid out of bed, put her feet
in feathered mules and drew her robe with
the gold dragons around her. She closed
the bedroom door softly after her.
Liz was standing facing the door, still
in her short white coat

was sometimes dlscomhtmg to realize that by
the time Liz had grown out of it. Abby would
be past forty and might not feel like wearing
pedal pushers or short hair
Liz was growing into remarkably pretty
girl, after being remarkably homely child,
which was comfort Boys had already begun
to clutter up the front walk Even Little
Georges pals occasionally gave her more than
a passing glance. And now she was out on
her first date, at fraternity house, with a
college freshman of seventeen.
ABBY reminded herself sharply that she
was going to be smarter about Liz and her
dates than Abby's family had been. Abby had
grown up with spotty notions about sex, and
enormous curiosity. Liz, on the other hand,
had been exposed to the recommended theo-
ries and books all along the way. She was
given Cleo, spaniel bitch, and encouraged to
explain freely to guests why the dog had to
be shut up at the vets during certain periods.
At eight, she was allowed to stay up until
after midnight, witnessing the arrival of
Cleo's puppies. Also, for her daughters first
date, Abby had presented Liz with sheer
pair of nylons. lipstick in gold metal case,
and bottle of smelly cologne rather repul-
sively called Her Moment. She'd also been
firm about Liz being allowed to take her date
without chaperonage. What was the use. she
argued, of spying on your daughter? Didn't
you trust her?
Maybe it was the memory of her own first
date that had made Abby so insistent. But
George couldn't possibly understand what
that had done to Abby. She was fifteen or
maybe even sixteen, and the boy had been
the older brother of one of her school friends.
She couldn't remember his name now, or
even what he looked like, because her first
date with him had also been their last. Abby's
father and uncle had driven her and her date
to the country club at eight thirty, long before
the party really was under way. They had
called for her at eleven O'Clock and consider
ately dropped the boy off first on the way
home.
For long time, Abby had refused other
invitations for fear of repetition of that
chaperonage When she finally worked her
family to the stage where they permitted her
to attend an evening movie with boy, she
would invariably meet her mother and father
coming out of the same picture at the same
time, and they would all stop cozily for sodas
together.
Even after she was in college, and accepted
various fraternity pins in the same manner
that she sampled the varieties in box of
assorted chocolates, she was still little girl
at home She never was able to say good night
without the knowledge that her mother was
lowering in the darkened living room off the
hall
And once the door was closed, her mother
would step cheerfully into the light, pulling
her robe about her and saying: ABBY, l
couldn't sleep, so made some cocoa. Let's
you and have cup and talk things over"
Girls don't want to talk things over, Abby
thought; at least not with their mothers.

Advice Given On
Cutting Farm Costs

Labor and manhours can be
saved on the farm through mech
anization, says c. B. Ratchford,
in charge of Extension Farm
Management at State college, but
this is not always the most prac-
teal, nor the least expensive
method.
One of the best ways to cut
down on the cost of labor IS TO
keep all of the equipment in good
working order, MIR. Ratchford1
said. BY proper greasing and
maintenance good equipment Will
last many years longer, ne SAID.
The simplest piece OF farm
equipment, such as a middle
buster, operates better if it is IN
proper adjustment, and is not
only capable of doing more work
but is also easier on the man and
mule, or tractor.
To save labor at rush seasons,
farmers should repair all equip
ment during winter months when
other work is practically at a
stand-still, he said, adding that
rainy days also provide an OPP
portunity for catching up" on
this maintenance.
All farmers spend considerable
time on chores like feeding and
watering workstock, chickens, or
hogs, the specialist said. Labor
can be saved on most farms by
simply planning the quickest way
to do these chores. 1t may be
possible to feed the chickens,
hogs and Workstock at the same
time, thus saving extra trips.
By making running water avail
able on the poultry and hog
ranges, additional labor time and
work can be saved. If hogs and
poultry are on range, labor can
be saved by carrying a weeks
supply of feed to the range on
a wagon and storing it in a
weatherproof box.
Farm buildings and lots are
not always arranged for the most
convenience and to count for &C.
onomy of time. A few changes, or
better still, careful planning
when the farmstead is laid out
make a big difference in the
days work, Ratchford said.

HINTS
To Homemakers

The present trend toward
smaller bedrooms, built-in double
hunks for children and lower
beds may save expense in build
ing and furnishing but adds to
the time and effort spent on bed
making, housing specialists of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
remind home-planners.
Making beds by pullman-porter
methods is too strenuous for
many women but is unavoidable
with some of the new space-sav-
ing bed arrangements, the spec
ialists point out. At least l8
inches clear space around three
sides of the bed is needed for

convenience in making. If bed
must stand in a corner or alcove
it should be equipped with good
ball-bearing casters so that 1t
can be rolled out for making or
for cleaning the room.
The height fthe beds is also
important for convenient making.

dition to creating slack-water for
navigation and heads for power

greater part of the irrigable lands.
The bulk of the potential new
irrigable acreage is in Eureka
Flats in Walla County on the di-
