RUSCH-COLWELL

At $3.50 o'clock on August
18th, Zion Chapel was the
scene of a pretty wedding,
when Miss Florence Elizabeth
Colwell, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. E. Colwell, became
the bride of Mr.. Daniel John
Rusch, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Otto Rusch of Twenty-fifth
and Lydia Avenue.
Ferns and gladioli adorned
the platform, and Overseer
Carl @. Lee was the officiat-
ing clergyman.
The bride wore a white sa-
tin gown, with long train and
finger-tip veil, which fell from
an orange blossom tiara; and
carried a cascade bouquet of
white carnations.
Verna Johnson, cousin of
the bride, was maid of honor,
and wore a blue net gown with
matching blusher veil, and car
ried a cascade bouquet of pink
carnations. Ronda Kay Rusch
was flower girl and Albert
Cliff was ringbearer.
Percy Rusch served as best
man, and the ushers were Will
liam N. and Wesley Colwell.
The brides mother wore a
red dress, with a rubrum COR
sage; the groom's mother wore
a yellow and purple figured
dress, with glamelia corsage.
A reception for seventy-five
guests was held, after which
the young couple departed on
a three weeks trip to the
West. Their future home is at
1908 Enoch Avenue. The
groom is a radio technician.

GREAT LAKES
FLEET RECORD

The greatest peacetime re-
cord of any month in history
was set by the movement of
1868, 800 gross tons (14,127,-
478 net tons) of iron ore in
July, according to figures re-
leased by the Lake Carriers
Association on total cargoes
handled by the Great Lakes
fleet.
Nearest comparable move
ment of ore was II, 496,303
gross tons in August of 1871.
AT that time, however, it was
pointed out by Lake Carriers
Association Vice President
Gerald S. Wellman, ''the &C
tolerated movement for ma
tional defense was at it's peak.
The previous record of $751;
$50 gross tons of iron ore NOV
ed during August Of 1887,
therefore is a better gage by
which to judge the size of the
job the fleet is doing this sea-
son." he added.

shrink ALL materials. I just lay

then pull the plug out and let drain

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowman

Many women are completely be-
wildered by the meaning Of indi-
vidual metabolisn and what q meta
bolism test really Is. Metabolism is
the name given to the building up
and tearing down process which
goes on continually in the body. BY
basal metabolism we mean the
amount Of energy required just to
maintain life, without any extra
activity on your part. People with
a low metabolism will lose weight
much less rapidly than those with
higher metabolism, even when on
the same diet.
Low metabolism is the cause Of
overweight in q small percentage
Of women. Usually it is matter Of
too little physical activity and too
much food. If your metabolism is
very low you can diet strenuously
without losing much weight. In sit
uations such as this one should have
a metabolism test and then follow
the medication which their doctor
advises, along with diet and exer-
else. Always give dieting q faithful
try for a month or six weeks. Then,
il you do not lose weight, see your
physician. Stick to your diet and do
not kid yourself because most wo-
men will respond to calorie counting
The old-fashioned reducing diet
cut protein very low, with resulting
fatigue. However, today's up-to-
date diet is high in protein content
During the war we were handicap
ped by meat rationing but today we
can follow the schedule with less
trouble. Your cuts of meat do not
have to be extremely expensive.
They must be lean. The less luxur-
ious cuts simply must be cooked for
a longer time-but NOT fried,
please!
Broil or bake your meat because
the fat used in frying counts up in
your calorie intake. Milk Is also a
protein food and, If the cream is
taken off, reinforce your reducing
diet with proteins, vitamins and
minerals.
Ten ounces of skinned milk give
you about 10 grams Of protein.
Eight ounces of buttermilk give you
about eight grams of protein. Three
tablespoons of cottage cheese give
you 1872 grams of protein, and four
shrimp give you 10 grams So, you
see, there are high-protein foods
other than meat.

Here are some things to remember.
Remember that a real nursery
school is a well-run organization,
stated with trained teachers, Of
fering the child play with other
children, proper toys and child-sized
equipment. Nurseries, on the other
hand, are more concerned with the
health and welfare of the child.
Play groups stress learning to play
together. Custodial care offers a
place to come in out of the rain.
Don't be deceived by the name .
group chooses to give itself. Look at
its facilities and its activity, and
judge for yourself.
Visit the school yourself. Go first
thing in the morning, at health in
spection time, and spend the entire
morning there, if possible. Day care
spots are usually most active in the
morning, and you'll have a better
opportunity to observe the children.
Visit more than one school, for COM
PARSONS sake. It's time well spent.
A reputable school will allow you to
visit while school Is in session.
Look at the yard, the house, and
see if the quarters are adequate, and
are being used. There may be
yard-but the children may not be
playing in it. The law requires IS
square feet per child in each center.
The school may satisfy this, boast
ing several rooms that make up the
required amount of space. But the
rooms may be so cluttered with
adult furniture that there's no
place for children to play in them.
If snacks or meals are provided,
see If the meal given is suitable,
and if the food is kept in a sanitary
manner and well refrigerated, when
necessary.
See if the children have q variety
Of toys and that the toys are In
usable condition.
See If a group that wants to "heip
working mothers" really offers care
during the hours the mother will
be away from the home.
Remember that the promise to
provide transportation on the part
of a group is not really gift from
the gods. Crowded buses can be
dangerous. And rounding up and
driving children to school makes
morning health inspection difficult.
In this case, the children should be
examined before they leave home.
Observe the leader and her as
sistants carefully. Mentally grade
her on her understanding of and
respect for each child. Look into
her qualifications and training.
Learn whether or not she IS per-
son who loves children" or. "has
four of her own" or if she has had
actual training in the care of small
children.
Consider a cooperative nursery
school. A good cooperative, with
mothers and teacher working to-
gether at the school, can be most
advantageous.

Dorothy Dix
SAYS

Dear Miss Dix: Our trouble is the
breakfast problem. When we were
first married my wife used to get
breakfast, but after the baby came
and she was up at night with it
let her sleep mornings. Now she
has gotten into the habit of it and
won't quit. I tell her that it is a
mans duty to provide for the fam
lily and pay the bills, and that 1t is
woman's duty to prepare the meals
and keep the house. But she says
that I am old-fashioned and behind
the times with that idea. She says
that at least so per cent of the
other housewives, who are modern,
don't prepare breakfast for their
husbands.
She tells me that o'clock in the
morning is too early for her to get
I'D and she should be able to sleep
until o'clock. What Is your opinion?
Am I old-fashioned and behind the
times, or am I sap? JOHN.
Answer: Well, I think you are a
sap If you let her get away with
that. You can spoil a wife just as
easily as you can baby, and with
about the same results. You will
have brat on your hands the bal
ance of your life if you don't read
the riot act to her and make it plain
to her that you are not putting up
with any foolishness, and that un-
less she does her part towards max
ing a happy home, there won't be
any home for her.
= If a wife is sick, it is up to the
husband to arise, get his own break
fast and prepare a tray for her, or
do anything else he can to help her.
But when it comes to waiting on an
able-bodied woman who just wants
to loaf and take it easy, and who
makes the husband not only bring
home the bacon but fry it, it is time
for him to rebel and mean it.
If 1t is true, which doubt, that
so per cent of the modern wives lie
abed and snooze of morning until
9 o'clock while their husbands go
breakfastless to work, it would ex-
plain the rise in the divorce rate.
For there can be no peaceful homes
and no contented husband when the
wife refuses to cooperate and do
her share of the work.

What's a Nursery School?
BY Betty Miles

Mary Jones considered herself
very fortunate. She had located a
day care center near home where
S-year-old Judy could spend her
days while her mother worked,
and moreover, the center supplied
transportation. The home looked
clean and orderly, and Mrs. Smith,
m charge, was motherly looking
woman who had raised a large
family" herself. Mary left Judy
there. satisfied that the little girl
would '"be good" and safe.
What Mrs. Jones did not realize
was that the home supplied none of
the things a child of preschool
years needs for proper development.
Mrs Smith called her school "nurs-
cry school" Actually, she supplied
what is known as "custodial care,
seeing that the child stayed in off
the street, and nothing more. There
is no good custodial care.
Mrs. Jones did not realize that in
a good nursery school little Judy
would not spend her days as she
did at Mrs. Smiths school, sitting
very quietly as her mother had told
her to Zone little girl in local
nursery school" was known to do
just that all day, with no toys to
speak of, and no program of play
with other children that would sat-
isfy a little girl of 3. Mrs. Jones
did not realize that according to
District law all children in places
where day care is offered must have
morning health inspection before
joining the group, and it's often
difficult to accomplish this when
children are being collected and
driven to school.
In brief, the only advantage for
Judy in attending that school was
that there was an older woman
around who would see that she
didn't get into trouble" The oppor-
tunities for fun and play were very,
very limited.
Good day care, of course, is also
beneficial for mothers who do not
work, giving the mother free time
while the child plays and develops
with other children. When picking
a nursery school or other day care
spot for your child, check with the
Bureau of Maternal and Child We'll
fare, D. C. Health Department, to
see If that school is licensed. A
school that is not licensed is not
worth considering. The bureau
can not recommend schools, so you'll
have to do your own investigating.
