OLD MAGAZINES.
| (Fron, Mrs. A. S. D., KenSington J
In response to the request of Mrs.
A. NJ. regarding disposition of her
old Readers Digests, may I urge
that she and all others who have old
copies send them abroad to teach
ers in the areas devastated by war?
These and old copies of the National
Geographic Magazine are used in
the high schools and for adult edu-
cation projects sponsored by the
Council of Relief Agencies Licensed
to Operate in Germany (CRALOG).
Packages should be addressed to-:
DR.. Mildred English (headquarters)
lac Div. ERA Branch,
OMGUS, APO 742,
Go Postmaster, New York, N. Y.
Germany has started two World
Wars! For three generations her
people have been educated for war.
Now, the United States has the re-
Sponsibility of the re-educa ton of
part OF Germany. We must begin
in our education for peace where
Bismarck and Hitler began in their
education for WARMTH the children
and youth. Here is our opportunity
to supply the desperately needed
money and equipment. CRALOG is
anxious to have supplies for the use
of teachers and students and will be
grateful for monetary contributions
as well. For a complete list of sup
plies needed, please contact me

WINDOW PLEA.
From Mrs. C. B. S., Washington. J
Many Of us live in congested Sec
tions. Not all living rooms and
dining roms are on the front.
think it would be so nice if every
RCH reader would take an inven-
tory of their back and side windows
and make them reasonably attrac-
tive. In many cases cleaning once a
year which should be now after the
winter dirt and CRIME. will help
immensely and how about tacking
an old, but clean, curtain over the
window? Thumb tacks would suffice
I'll wager it will make most people
have a finer feeling toward their
neighbors. Along with keeping my
windows as attractive as possible by
having shades and tiebacks, even
Venetian blinds slanted at the same
angle, etc, also try to make sure
that not one piece of paper from
my yard goes into that of another.
SOURCES OF INFORMATION.
From D. C. Public Library)
Mrs. N. J. NJ. Silver Spring, asked
for information about the sort of
clothes that ere worn in Bermuda.
Beautiful Bermuda" by Mrs.
Euphemia Young Bell and others,
should prove helpful. Also worth
looking at is THE Story of Ber-
muda," by Hudson Strode. These
books are in the Central Library
at Ninth and K streets NV.
FILLING CRACKS.
From Mrs. J. A., HyattsUille.)
To Mrs. NJ M: My husband
bought what looked like an oversize
crayon in a hardware store and
you just rub it over the crack till it
is filled in Let it dry overnight
