of defense will be the theme of a
conference to the held by the
American Council on Education.

Commodore in New York.
Delegates will meet to explore
the ways in which the potential
represented by women, as people.
might be marshalled and brought
to bear on the problems which we
as a Nation will inevitably face
during the next decade" accord
ing to DR.. Arthur S. Adams, presi-
dent of the council.

Looks at Whole Of Society
"The conference on Women in
the Defense Decade looks at the
whole of our society and at women
as people who can, if they will,
work with men to mould that So
ciety somewhat nearer to our
hearts desire than it is now"
Miss Donlon said in a foreword
to the conference program.
What this defense decade will
require of us, no one can foretell
with certainty. But this we know,
that the free way of life draws on
womanpower for survival almost
as heavily as it draws on man
power" Miss Donlon continued.
What we seem not yet fully to
have learned is that women's work
and women's special talents, II
used in community problems dur
ing less critical times, might OBJ
viate the recurring crises that
threaten to destroy the already
weakened fabric of our society,""
Panel discussions scheduled for
both days will be held on the fol-
lowing topics: The Home, Citi.
zenship, Health and Welfare,
Armed Forces, Production for De-

Emily Post Advises

t. I don't really know the bride very
well, but the bridegroom is a
friend.
Answer: There is no conven-
Itional rule regarding such cards,
They may be sent to whomsoever
you please.
Greeting q Man
Dear Mrs. Post: Should a
woman get up to greet a man who
enters her Office? She is talking
with someone else and the man
comes in to join their discussion
Answer: This depends on sew
eral things: If she is seated at her
desk with others seated around
her. she would not be likely to
rise, but would merely motion to-
ward an available chair. If all are
sitting casually. she would rise,
shake hands with him, introduce
him, motion him to take a seat,
and then sit down herself. \

Dorothy
Husband Beset
BY Insecurity
Needs Assurance

DEAR MISS DIX: My husband
is the summation Of all my girl
hood dreams. He is intelligent,
kind. wonderful father and very
dear person. Our life is very har-
monious. I am most positive he
has never been unfaithful to me,
but frequently he asks that I do
not leave him If he should stray
from the straight and narrow,
for, he says, man is weak and
some day he may slip. trust him
implicitly, SO this situation Is very
embarrassing to me. don't think
I could retain the same feeling of
love and respect for my husband
should such an incidence arise.
He gives me a feeling of waiting
for the inevitable situation to de-
velop. j. M.
Answer-Your husband is beset
by a sense Of insecurity that
makes him constantly seek reasur-
ance. Since you've only been
married three years, he hasn't
acquired the feeling Of perma-
nence that will eventually make
your trust a foregone conclusion
for him.
Until that point is reached you
can continue to show by action
and word that you do trust him
completely. The contingency of
his mfidelity is very remote and
you had best proceed on the as
sumption that it is not going to
happen. You must have enough
faith for both, and build up your
husbands confidence both in him
helf and in you.
DEAR MISS DIX: A friend of
mine is an airline stewardess. and
has fallen in love with a married
pilot. the father Of three children.
She won't make dates with any
other man, and arranges as many
trips as possible on the same
flights as the pilot. Her folks
don't know Of the affair, and we
feel she is running her life. Is
there anything you can suggest
that might make her see the
wrong she Is doing? M. A.
Answer-Nothiny will earn you
less thanks than to interfere in
Ia case like this. Your friend, as
well as her sweetheart, knows the
affair is wrong, and both are old
enough to ruin their lives if they

IQuesters Study, Collect Antiques
By Ruth Deem

If you have been playing guess
ing games with the age of that old
silver tea pot on the dining room
buffet or wondered in what dy-
nasty the Chinese vase in the hall
was made. membership in the
Questers may supply the answer.
One of Washington'S newest
clubs is made up of women inter-
ested in study and appreciation
of antiques and other objects Of
art, as well as their collection.
The Questers is a national or
ganization. founded in Amber, Pa.
last year by Mrs. William George
Bardens, now its national gov
ernor.
The Washington group, which
calls itself the Cathedral Chapter.
was founded last March by Mrs.
Edward w. Lafferty when she
moved here from her former home
in Garrettown, Pa, not far from
Amber. Mrs. Lafferty, who as
sisted Mrs. Bardens in her initial
organization efforts, is also vice
governor of The Questers.
Questers Turn Collectors
Most Questers turn into col
lectors. according to Mrs. Lafferty.
One woman she knows was in
tereSted in the history of salt
shakers. Before she realized it,
she had purchased an old pair in
an antique shop. Now her colIec-
ton has grown to include all col
orS in variety of sizes.
Some Questers concentrate on
one thing. Mrs. Lafferty pointed
out. Others collect a variety of
items, ranging from furniture they
IreflniSh themselves to miniature
porcelain teacups. She herself
specializes in Chinese art objects.
with side interest in china and
Pennsylvania Dutch antiques.
Mrs. Lafferty wishes she had
been a Quester in 1885, when she
broke up her family home IN
Philadelphia. Among the old
things she sold to a secondhand
dealer was her grandmother
dover check. II didn't know then
what dover check was, much less
its value" she declared. Later,
I discovered that it was the custom
among the Pennsylvania Dutch OF
my grandmother's day for the ia I.
ther or a male relative of the brioe
to present her with a dowry before
her marriage to finance her house
hold expenses. The check was
worth far more than the so cents
I received for it,"
| When Mrs. Bardens got the idea
| for the Questers back in 1912, she
little realized the organization
would grow beyond her own COM
munity.
! For some years, she had fire.
quented the many antique shops
in and around the Philadelphia
area in quest of her favorite tea
caddieS and jars. One day on her
way back from lunch to Red Cross
headquarters where she was pro-
duction chairman, she purchased
a Boote mosaic syrup jug-a rs
cent bargain. 1t created quite a
stir of interest among the women
volunteers during the afternoon
and pretty soon they were bring
ling old pieces Of their own for
study and appraisal.
ldeo Soon Spreod
Noticing that the new interest
brought the women temporary
release from the tension Of their
daily lives. Mrs. Bardens organ
lied an antique study group. The
popularity of the idea spread and
soon similar groups were being
formed.
Last year, Mrs. Bardens founded
the national organization of The
Questers, after she had received
so many requests from the vari-
GUS study groups asking for in

Army Will Call 8O,OOO I'm March

WASHINGTON, (P-The army last, week issued a draft call for 8O,O0O men in March.
 This will bring the total of army requests for draftees to 450,000 since the outbreak of the Korean War.
 The 8O,O0O asked for March is the same quota requested in Janu- ary and February.
 The defense department an- nouncement said the navy, air force and marines "do not plan to place calls upon the selective serv- ice system in March"
 Only the army has used the draft up to now.
 The original quotas for Janu- ary and February were boosted on Dec. 12 to provide 80,000 draftees in each of the two months. The first call for January was only 4O,000 and the original call for February was 50,000.
 The draft calls are part of a build-up to give the army com- bat force equal to 24 divisions when it reaches it's current expan- sion goal next July 1.
 Although the figure used by the defense department involves only Is divisions, an army official told reporter that the fighting force will be augmented by the so-called regimental combat teams to equal the strength of 24 full divisions.

 He also said, in response to questions as to what point would have to be reached before he would have to consult Congress on declaration of war, that if the proper time arrived, the proper action would be taken.
 He hopes the time will never come when he would have to ask for a declaration of war, he said, adding that the time has not come yet.

Price, Wage Con- trOls To Be Used When Necessary

WASHINGTON, R-President Truman said yesterday across-the- board price and wage controls are going to be put on whenever necessary and possibly as soon as it can Joe done.
 He told a news conference the administration is working with that in view.
 MT. Truman noted that 1t would require legislation to clamp con- trols on food, but said that as soon as it is physically possible wage rice controls will Joe set wherever it is legally possible.
 Asked if he would seek to amend a 1850 law which restricts controls on food prices, MT. Tru- man replied by suggesting that re- porters wait for his "State of the Union" message next Monday.
 MT. Truman will deliver this message in person to a joint ses- sion of the Senate and House.
 It is customary for the State of the Union message to sketch in broad outlines what the President wants from Congress.
 The 1850 defense production law, which gave MT. Truman wage and price control powers, stipulates that price ceilings on farm products must not be lower than CD the highest prices in the month before the war in Korea or (b) parity prices - whichever were higher. Parity is standard set by federal farm laws and de- clared to be fair to both farmers and consumers. The parity price rises and falls with changes in the prices of things farmers buy.
 Some labor unions have con- tended the restrictions on ceilings for farm prices make it impossible to have effective control of food prices.
 MT. Truman remarked during his discussion that rising costs of food had contributed to the rising cost of living.

Salmon Eggs Flown To Alaska

SEATTLE (P)-Thirty thousand moss-packed Chinook salmon eggs have been flown from Seattle to Juneau in an effort to create fall run of Chinooks.
 The eggs, supplied by the Wash ington State department of fisher ies, were transplanted the same day of shipment in Montana Creek near Juneau.
 Biologist Walter Kirkness of the Alaska Fisheries staff played nursemail to the unborn salmon on their 1,062-mile flight aboard a Pan American Airways plane. It was the longest distance the de partment had ever attempted an egg shipment.
 The 45-day-old eggs were pack ed in wooden moss-fill ed boxes and covered with cracked ice to keep them cool and moist.
