1t Runs Through
My Mind

By POLLY J. HANST


Everything had been going along
so smoothly at the Girl Scout flying
up" ceremony last week, and just at
the climax, when the huge scout
birthday cake was brought forth, their
leader in a dignified manner said,
"Will each of you come forward and
stick a cake in one of these candles"
Once at a party Of socially promi-
nent and swedish women, few of whom
| had known before, | pulled terri
bic twist of the tongue, arranging
rides for some Of them, | said, first
l must go down and lick up Mrs.
Pickenstein."
But an old neighbor of my grand
father took the prize, for in every con-
versation he mixed things up One of
his best which came down through my
father was this tale.
The farmer came in home all excited
over grounding he had been chas-
ing. He said, 1T was he and |, he
and |, he and |; he fell down and |

may be assigned to any type OF
duty, except actual combat, and in
two years of peacetime as in World
War II, they proved they could dc
q variety of military jobs well.
World War saw few hundred
uniformed enlisted women per-
forming clerical duties in both the
Navy and the Marine Corps.
World War II found thousands of
patriotic American women, officers
and enlisted. releasing by their
effective performance in varied
military assignments in all the
services, thousands of young
American men from Stateside jobs
for combat duty. The status of
these wartime servicewomen was
that of temporary reservistS. and
with the cessation of hoStilities
with Japan most of them were de-
modified and returned to civilian
life and occupations.
Those wartime women in uni
form had left their mark. Their
diligence and faithfulness and
their high standards of perform
ance won for them the respect and
admiration of men in the armed
forces, and led eventually to legis-
lation assuring women of perma-
nent place in the peacetime ma
tional military defense establish
ment. A new and interesting Ca
reer field was thus opened to
young American women.
At first. only those women who
had served honorably in World
War II as reserviSts were ap-
pointed or enlisted in the Regular
Marine Corps. The first regular
women officers were selected from
among wartime Reserve officers
who applied for transfer. After
the initial selection of 20 women
Regular officers. the Marine Corps
determined that from then ON the
only source of women officer pro-
curement, both Regular and Re-
serve, would be by the commits
sioning of second lieutenants who
completed successfully the Women
Officers Training Class, which
Is conducted during the summer
months at the Marine Corps
Schools in Quantico, Va. 1t is di-
vided into two sessions-a Junior
course and a senior course, each
lasting six weeks.

Economy Hint

Never throw out the liquid from
canned vegetables. If you want
to serve it in small sauce dishes
with the vegetable, boil it alone
until it is reduced one-half; stir
in a little butter or margarine and
salt and pepper. Then add the
vegetable and heat quickly. but
do not boil again. If you do
not wish to use the liquid at the
same time you use the vegetables,
and gravies.
When you have leftover pastry
after making pie. use IL for Cheese
StraWs.
