Lady Readimg Is Honor Guest
At W0mem's Press Club Tea
By Frances Lide

The Marchioness of Reading,
founder of the Women's Voluntary
Services which kept two million
British women busy during the war,
tells this story with an appreciative
chuckle.
When she was awarded q medal
for her wartime services, she re-
ceived a telegram from some of
the WIS members which read as
follows: I'VE won it. You may
wear it,
The story illustrates the spirit of
team work prevailing in this volun-
teer organization which still has
10000 British women engaged in
a broad program of "day to day"
jobs which have three prime OBJ
jectives: Conservation, preservation
and production.
Lady Reading described some Of
the current activities of the WIS
to members of the Women's Ma
tional Press Club yesterday when
she was their honor guest at tea
at the Washington Club.
She also revealed a friendliness
and a sense of humor that must
help her immeasurably in inspir-
ing Britain's women to face the
austerity they expect to be their
lot for some time to come.
Typical of the WIS program are
various services which were inaugu-
rated to help cut down absenteeism
after a survey showed that very
few workers were willfully staying
away from their jobs.
These include programs Of one
sort or another, to care for old
people and children during the day.
Among them is home help"

workers who will go into house.

you need a cross between a
cherub and a seraph to run it,"
Lady Reading commented, cal
though men never understand why
they can't do it."
She recalled explaining operation
of the service to one masculine OBJ
server who was completely ig-
norant of the intricacies involved
in making suitable placements. She
warned him, however, that a fat
woman must never be sent to a
house with a lot of stairs. "And
don't send a talkative woman to a
place where people are deaf" she
cautioned. They'll just think she's
the radio and pay no attention"
Lady Reading is enthusiastic
about the WIS latest project-the
Women's Home Industries-which
has started British women knitting
every conceivable type of article,
from clothes for men, women and
children to chair covers and car
pets. Raw materials are released
for the purpose and each article
