a good mixed greens salad, with a

Stylish Fashion Begins at Forty
By Anne Votes Clorke

It is a well-known fact that
the fashion needs Of the mature
woman are very different from
those Of her younger sister. With
her children grown or old enough
to take. care of themselves most
Of the time. she has more leisure,
more money to spend on clothes,
more places to wear them. At the
same time her figure is changing,
so that she needs not only more
clothes, but better costumes.
It Is no accident that lists Of
best st-dressed women are usually
top-heavy with women around or
over 40. In their maturity they
have poise and grace, and they
have developed a clothes sense
and an individual taste that make
them distinctive. The increasing
pressure Of social engagements
makes it necessary as well as de-
Sirable to have larger wardrobes.
If you follow the lead Of the
mature women you know, you will
buy clothes that are ageless, many
Of them timeless. Made of good
fabrics that can stand up under
many dry-cleanings Cor laun-
derings. if they are casual cottons
or other washable materials for
summer). they will make the most
Of simple, well-cut lines. of trim
ming that gives variety and dis
tinction. and Of colorings that are
becoming, but it is not "too
much" Favorite fabrics are
rayons which combine texture
interest with soft but distinctive
color. Drapability is q feature,
especially in soft afternoon
clothes.
The woman with a figure prob
lem or a problem figure may have
to pay more for her clothes than
her friend with an average figure.
Actually there should be no prob
lem figures If women would find
the size range and size that suit
them best. Some wear half sizes,
some regular women's sizes, some
misses sizes. rarely will a woman
find a dress to fit her in more
than one range. If she is short,
she can choose between diminu-
tives and the smaller sizes in the
misses range.
AS some of Americas best de-
signers specialize in dresses for
the mature woman there is no
dearth Of good fashion, and a
little more time spent in finding
exactly the right dress, and in
having it fitted perfectly, will pay
off in better appearance, and in
long time satisfaction with the
costume.

Adopted
Child
By Angelo Potri

Yes. tell them that they are
adopted children. If they are
not told. some one will make 1t
his business to inform them as
fully as possible. This might come
as a severe shock to the children.
Prevent any such happening by
letting the children know that
you selected them to be your
children because you wanted them
and loved them very much.
When the child is taken as an
infant, it would be well to set
the stage for the telling. A pic
ture, some bit of personal belong
ing. left about where the child
becomes familiar with it is a
great help. That is the hospital
where we found you. This was
the bracelet you wore the day
we brought you home to be our
little boy. We picked you for
ours because you were the very
incest child Of ALL" Something
like this lays the basis for future
telling.
It is not wise to try to hide
such a fact from a child. 1t is
really never completely hidden.
There are no secrets. Somebody,
somewhere, knows and it is odd
how that somebody finds his way
to the protected one to lift the
protection from him. Odd, too,
what pleasure he takes in doing SO.
That would not matter at all
II the child were not hurt but he
is likely to be shocked severely.
He. in his distress and grief, may
feel that his parents, who mean
so well by him, betrayed him. A
child, even young person, dis
covering that what he believed to
be true about his home and fam
lily was never true, suffers terri
bly,.
1t Is not always necessary to
tell all the facts concerning a
child'S past. The important fact
is that he was adopted. That he
must know as early as possible.
Living with that fact, becoming
familiar with it. fitting happily
into his home, he ceases. or never
begins. to think that his life was
blighted by misfortune. Rather
he thinks he was a lucky child.
Chris, aged S, was entered in
kindergarten by his foster mother,
who did not think it necessary
to explain that the child was
adopted-nor was it. During the.
morning the teacher, having for
gotten the child's name, there be-
ing so many new pupils that
morning, asked, Whats your
name, dear?" MY name is Chris
topher JOY. I was adopted, cause
my mother thought I was the best
child in the hospital" said he
happily.
"And weren't you the lucky boy
that morning." said the teacher,
to which Chris nodded emphatic
ally. He was. But be sure to
| tell them.

Wayne, Republic Pictures knew
precisely what it was about. Let
who would, it concluded, make
the great war pictures; its own
idea was to make a spectacular
and exciting one. This it achieved
best-as such films always do it
with it's actual battle shots, the
ones taken by Marine cameramen
whose celluloid records sometimes
outlived the man who made them.
AS compared with the awesome
drama of these, the rest of Sands
of Two Jima," is a library of
cliches of warrior life, a success
sion of sentimental Interruptions
which audiences are asked to for
give, and which they probably will.
When it is tough, nothing could
be tougher and more spectacular
than this tale of a Marine platoon
that started on Guadalcanal and
eventually raised its flag on Two
Jima.
This panoramic tale OF Pacific
conflict is typical of those movie
scripts pin-pointed on a handful
of human lives.
Principal among these is Sgt.
John M. Stryker. a kind of colos-
sal Marine, played by Actor
Wayne. He is the commander of
the heroic platoon and as stout
q fellow as even spectacular war
movie could ask.
Sgt. Stryker is a supremely
tough guy. but a fighter and as
fair as man can be. 1t is within
his sense of justice to understand
the conduct of his wife who ran
of with another guy, but don't
think understanding it makes him
like the deal.
Apparently the only thing he
really likes is his top kicks job,
sharpening and shaping Marines
for battle. His task is to teach
them to kill so they won't get
killed and to this end, he is willing

brink Of destruction.
In battle, first at Tarawa and
finally at Two Jima, his men
achieve the stature he has meas
ured out for them and the COM
bination of actual and simulated
combat scenes gives the film some
tremendous moments.

The major footage of Sands of
Two Jima" is concerned with the
platoon's personal problems and
relationships and while Sergt.
Wayne looks dramatic even inI
these. that is more than can be
said for many of his colleagues.
Most harrassed among these is
John Agar whose Marine is the
sensitive type who wants son
that will grow up reading Shake
speare and hating top sergeants.
It Is not until the pair fight their
way to the top of Mt. Surabachi
on Two that they finally under
stand each other. this despite the
fact that Wayne has made num-
ber Of just deals in the kids

nights of liberty in the saloon, and
the sergeant's meeting with a

Wayne's performance relieves
these commonplace passages of
much of their dullness, but it
never actually succeeds in lifting
them entirely out of themselves.
The Marine Corps film library
and presumably those of the other
service arms, have been drawn
upon for the truly spectacular
shots in Sands of Two Jima."
These are still awesome inter
ludes, especially the shots of the
battle on the Two atoll. They show
the insuperable odds against

 Girl Scout Troops Formed al Barrow

Girl Scouting extended to the remotest outpost of civilization when the farthest north Girl Scout troops in America were formed recently at Barrow. The troops were formed under the direction of Mrs. Sally Browning, who has been in Scout work for many years and has taken an ac- tive part in Alaska Scouting since her arrival at Ft. Richardson with her husband, Colonel Browning.
 Leaders of the Barrow Girl Scout troops are all Eskimo wom- en. In addition to the Eskimo women on the committee, Mrs. Maxine Bryon, MAS teacher, and Mrs. Joe Hayden, whose husband Is an ACS operator, are also mem- berS.
 The two Girl Scout troops were organized with 30 members in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades. Four Girl Scout meetings were held at which Scouting was Introduced through playing Girl Scout games, singing Girl Scout songs, displaying the uniform on one of the Eskimo girls and talk ing about the founder of Girl Scouting, Juliette Lowe.
 One of the most important aims for the Troops at Barrow is through the Girl Scout organiza- tions to preserve some of the Els kimo arts and crafts and to pro- s11ote more interest in Eskimo legends and customs, Mrs. Brown ing said.
 Since there is no recreation in Barrow other than the movies" the Girl Scout worker added, "the organization will be of great value in getting the girls to work to- gether on projects such as learn ing skin sewing, group cooking projects and learning to know girls in the states and in other countries through correspondence.
