Volunteers
Needed!

The Social Welfare Aide Serv-
Ice is the new name given to the
Red Cross Home Service Corps.
Social welfare aides are des-
perately needed in the commu-
nifty, and the corps has been en-
larged to fill this need. An
appeal is now being made for a
special type of volunteer who
would eventually be made avail
able to many hospitals, military
camps and social welfare agen-
cies, to work under the super
vision of trained social service
workers. A course has been espe-
cially designed to train these
women for the work.
Washington has been selected
as one of the first cities in the
Nation where volunteers will be
trained through this course for
social welfare aide case work in
hospitals by the Red Cross, for
some 20 years pioneer In
the use of volunteers in sup
plementing social welfare case
work. The first hospital to
use Red Cross social welfare
aides will be st. Elizabeths
where the aides will work
directly under the supervision OF
the Red Cross field worker, Mrs.
Margaret L. Gardner. The first
of the social welfare aides train
ing classes gets under way next
Wednesday, April 81. Available
to only q limited number OF ap-
plicants in the beginning. the
classes will be held two hours
daily for six days, at intervals
through May 7. The applicant
must be willing to give at least
one day a week to the work and
while she need not necessarily
have a social welfare background.
1t Is highly essential that she be
interested in helping people, and
be able to understand the prob
lens OF others. Women inter-
ested in doing welfare work,
either as volunteers In hospitals
or in traditional home service
work, are asked to call Republic

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Loyman

A 50-year -old reader sent me an
inspiring letter not long ago. She
said, Il have always watched my
diet and taken regular daily exer-
cises. Since I am only S feet 2
inches tall every ounce Of excess
weight shows. If do say 1t, I have
a lovely figure, just as good as 1t
was when I was girl. II women
would just realize how much exer-
else does for them!
IT recently had my appendix out
and my doctor was amazed at my
fine condition and how rapidly I
recovered. Really, I am so different
from most women my age that 1
stand out like sore thumb. love
to dance, do worlds of church and
welfare work, travel and paint and
love OF cook. Most women my age
are bored and tired and fat and are
content to sit at home with their
grandbabies.
This reader may have been blessed
with fine health, but, even if she
had been born with g. mediocre
constitution she would have prof
tied by the daily routine she has
indulged in through the years. 1t Is
sad that the average woman settles
down into layers of uncomfortable
fat, allows her muscles to become
lax and her posture STOPPING as she
grows older.
Today, more than ever, We have
actual proof of the results of a
health and beauty routine. Every
where we see women of 40 and so
and so and 10 who are mentally and
physically charming and attractive.
A daily workout gives energy a
boost and keeps the figure trim and
firm. Most of us age and die before
our time because of physical inactiv-
ity and indoor lives and too much
rich food.
If you are determined to take
advantage of the benefits of exercise
you should have a physical examin-
alton first and you should also start
in slowly. The following exercise
is fine for a beginner. 1t is mild
abdominal exercise, messages inter-
nal organs, stimulates circulation
and is corrective to constipation.
Lie on your back with your legs
straight and your arms resting on
the floor overhead. Bend your left
knee up close to your stomach
grasp the knee with both hands and
pull back toward your abdomen
Straighten your leg and return arms

from Miss L. M. L., Washington
Mrs. w. E. r., Silver Spring: Re-
garding the fireplace bricks, I saved
a suggestion from the Woman's Page
recently regarding this. The lady
wrote: II know good way to make
dull bricks beautiful. Am glad to
pass 1t on. Here it is: Put a coat
of linseed oil on the bricks; wait
for "a hours. Do the same thing
three times. Then when dry, wax

II you have a doubt. 1t darkens the
color Of the bricks. The result ought
to be beautiful"
About the paint on the linoleum: !:
Try using a razor blade carefully to
remove the paint. Be careful to
avoid cutting the linoleum; hold
the razor fiat as you scrape. One
can buy scrapers in the dime
store which contain the razor blade
and have a handle on them. This
would be a good investment, since
you can also use the razor scraper
for cutting and ripping out gar
ments.

We would like to hang over twin beds,
Some time ago we obtained some
prints and had them framed by a
professional Instead of using glass,
he applied a very thin coat of wax,

to throw away your pretty new

of liquid on it be sure before you
buy 1t that the merchant will guar
