NYLON LOOPS?
MATTRESS PROBLEM?
TCTNG9


(From Mrs. A. G. H., Arlingt0n)
We have started a project using
nylon loops and now we can't
seem to find any more. We bought
them from a dime to dollar store
at Twelfth and G streets, but now
they say they can get no more.
So far we have used green. yellow
and blue, but now we need a rose.
or red and maybe lavender. Can
some one tell me where to obtain
or order these?
I would also like to know how
to keep our foam rubber mattress
on the bed. The covering on box
springs and mattresses are rayon,
of course and one mattress seems
to be longer than the box spring.
Could some one give me an old
fashioned chocolate icing I made
when was a kid. We used un-
sweetened chocolate and around 2
cups of sugar and maybe a cup
of rnilk. It was nice and glossy
looking when put on the cake.

HOBBIES


(From Mrs. c. J. r.. HyattsUtlle)
Mrs. D. A. w., Hyattsville. I
am suggesting the following hob
bies which could easily be done
with one hand as they do not re-
qure a great deal Of dexterity.
Most department stores and some
dime stores carry the small weave
it looms, about 6x6 inches for
weaving with yarn. The result
ing squares can be made into
many useful and attractive arti-
cles which one of the family or a
friend could make up for her.
thereby combining hobby with
practical results.
Rafia work is quite interesting
Art stores and hobby shops carry
raffla and reeds with which many
articles can be made from hot
dish mats to lamp shades, etc.
Much of this work is done with
a large needle which should not
be too difficult for the left hand.
For a change of pace now and
then. crossword puzzles are excel
lent. Once taste for them is ac-
quired they can be very engrossing
/ as they occupy the mind as well
as the hand. Likewise. jigsaw puz-
zles are good for occasional pas
times especially if the completed
part is pasted to a cardboard as
one goes so as to avoid accidental
upsets. Perhaps. some Of these
simple ideas will help out. I am
sure our RICH neighbors will come
up with many more ingenious
ones.

/. Light, unlined quilted

washer along with other light
clothes. They can be dried in
an automatic dryer, or hung

pulled to prevent a chance of
puckering. The cottons should

should be washed by hand in

Isolated Women

Miss Cochran was also mortified over the small number of WAYS assigned to some outposts.
 Tt is believed that to have one enlisted WAT assigned to Green land and two to England is wrong" she advised, just as it is wrong to send one WAT to station like Douglas, Arizona, which just recent ly occurred. There were no facilities available, and the commanding of- ficer was very much disturbed"
 Stressing again that bone struc- ture, bodily profile, personal groom ing and general deportment" should be taken into account fin order to get a smart looking group" Miss Cochran wound up her report with the significant comment that "ail of the Air Force generals whom I have consulted in the field approve my recommendations, herein con- tained as minimums.'
 ftOWeVer, 1eileIdl sdllocllDtlS lowered Miss Cochran's minimums slightly. For example, he thought 60 inches was tall enough for WAYS instead of 61 inches. But he agreed that the WAYS should be more at tractive, should also be more fem mine and give up such mems jobs as mechanics, truck drivers and grease monkeys.
 Note-before Miss Cochran left Lackland Field, she had the WAYS reporting for KIP duty in neckties and skirts, and added a four-week course in grooming to their basic training.

More Bodily Profile

Miss Cochran suggested that WAYS should be at least 6l inches tall. But not more than 72 inches. In order that they appear more ladylike. she also suggested abol- ishing the 30-inch marching step. But most important, she stressed bodily profile"
 "Whatever difference is allowed over or below the standard weight should be based upon the bone structure, the distribution of weight and the muscle tone of the appli- cant" she laid down the standards for shapeliness. .. stress should be given in recruiting literature to the physical profile required for applicants to the WAF."
 Miss Cochran also insisted some thing must be done about WAT clothing.

|UN!V. PROF. HERE TO
 MAKE RECREATL0NAL SURVEY OF ALASKA

A present and potential recreation facilities survey in Alaska is being directed by William J. Stanton, pro lessor of marketing at the Unlver- sity of Washington. The Univer- sity's bureau of business research has a contract with the National Park Service to make this survey from an economic standpoint.
 Stanton, who is stopping at the Gastineau Hotel, said that his pres ent trip through Alaska is in the nature of a preliminary survey to determine recreational values of various areas. He is also studying the present and potential tourist business as related to the overall economy of the Territory. Today Stanton planned to visit Sitka, Baranof and Tenakee Hot Springs.
 Monday or Tuesday Stanton will fly to Skagway, make the trip over the White Pass and Yukon Railway to Whitehorse, then to Fairbanks and Anchorage. Later in the sum mer he expects to make an auto trip over the Alaska Highway,

worn by the trainees at Lackland were of at least six different var ieties, and were exceedingly poor in appearance and unattractlye. These WAFS are certainly anything but a credit to the Air Force in the present .non-uniform clothing they are forced to wear" n.
 In fact, Miss Cochran urged that mo further recruiting should be done of WAYS until adequate cloth ing not only in dress uniforms but in fatigue uniforms is procured"
 "The WAYS should be equal to the best among the women's ser vice." she pleaded. Tt should be the aim to make them the best But, she added sorrowfully, they are not so now"
 Miss Cochran suggested giving all women recruits physical screen- ing, then sending home. at. govern ment expense those who failed to measure up to specifications.
 If the above is accepted" she argued, "it is believed that the Air Force will be able to cut down ma- terially the misfits that are now getting into the program at the re- cruiting level"

What Jacky Said

Miss Cochran came into the Air Force on temporary duty to advise General Vandenberg, and submitted her report from Lackland Air Base, Texas. Though Jacky's general cos clusions leaked out and spread like wildfire among the WAYS, her re- port has never been published and only few top WAYS have seen it.. This column, however, has obtained copy. 7-~-----
 It is estimated that about one third of all the enlisted personnel that have been indoctrinated at Lackland ,are not fit material" she summed up bluntly. T personally came across | WAT who was ap- proximately 4 feet, inches tall, and who admittedly weighed l34 pounds. This is far too much weight for the height, but what is even worse, she is very much out of pro- portion as to bodily profile, and in addition, she is cross-eyed.
 And I was informed that this type of error has been duplicated many times" she added in horror
 Miss Cochrans opinion of WAT officer candidates was no higher.
 q met and talked with approxi- mately 30 O.C.S. trainees, and was certainly not impressed with their physical appearance or grooming, she reported. Tn fact, three or foui women in the group seemed out oi balance, weight for height"
