hospital experts from Puerto
Rico and after extended con-

own careful survey in each is

In Frederiksted the new

Mrs. Eisenhower, who became
q member -at-large of the
Daughters Of the American Rev.
olution last April, received her
OAR pin yesterday when group
of national officers were re-
ceived at the White House.
The delegation, headed by
Miss Gertrude S. Carraway of
New Bern, N. c., OAR president
general, notified the First Lady
that her national number in the
society is 415659.
Mrs. Eisenhower's pin includes
her ancestral bar inscribed with
the name of Benjamin Doud,
Revolutionary War soldier from
whom she is descended.
The Daughters also gave Mrs.
Eisenhower a pair of white kid
pull-on gloves. styled with far
ing cuffs, in lieu of the orchid
corSage usually presented on
such ceremonial occasions. The
gloves seemed a more practical
gift. it was explained.
The White House visit was
made after a board meeting held
by the national officers at ma
tional headquarters yesterday.
Arriving at the Executive Man
sion 10 minutes ahead of their
appointment, the officials were
shown through the first floor
rooms. During their tour, they
admired the portrait of the first
OAR president general, Caroline
Scott Harrison, who was the wife
of President Benjamin Harrison.
Mrs. Eisenhower received the
group in the red room, where
they chatted for 20 minutes, re-
manning much longer than they
had expected, at the insistence
of their hostess.
When they complimented the
first lady on her famed ability
for charming White House Wis
itors, she revealed her secret
that she is just natural.
She told the Daughters she
especially enjoys meeting school
children, and that when she says
Hi" to them, they love it.
Those from the Washington
area in the delegation included
Mrs. Geoffrey Creyke of the Dis
trict. librarian general; Mrs. Rob-
ert V. H. Duncan of Alexandria.
organizing secretary general:
Mrs. George w. S. Musgrave of
Laurel, Md, a vice president gen.
eral, and Miss Mamie Hawkins.
State regent of the District.
Others were Mrs. Kenneth T.
TreWhella of Connecticut, first
vice president general; Mrs.
Thomas Henry Lee of Pennsyl-
vania, recording secretary gen.
eral; Mrs. Leonard D. Wallace
of Georgia. registrar general;
Mrs. Wayne NJ. Cory of Indiana,
historian general; Mrs. Will Ed
Gupton of Tennessee, chaplain
general. and Mrs. Ross B. Hager
of Baltimore, State regent OF
Maryland.
A total of 478 new members
were added to the society yester-
day when the board approved
their applications.
Miss CarraWay outlined her
program for the next three
years, pointing out the emphasis
will be on a constructive pro-
gram of Americanism.
The stress will be on glow
ing faith in the future of this
Nation, as we'll as the values of
the past" according to the new
president general.

GUAM.

Mrs. L. A. L., Falls Church,
My husband and I recently
finished a tour of duty. of
% months on Guam Island.
He is an engineer under Civil
Service and we were stationed
at Northwest Field, a military
base under the Air Force. The
homes there were furnished
with electric refrigerator.
stove and rattan furniture.
Washing machines are not
furnished but are a necessity
in that climate and it is easy
to buy a secondhand one or
a new one may be bought
through the post exchange.
Also most families buy a Sec
ond-hand car or ieep there
and sell it when they go back
to the States. AS all OF the
facilities are very spreadout
transportation of some sort Is
very important. The climate
there is warm all-year round.
the most pleasant months be-
ing from September through
April. Cotton clothes are best
to bring and it is wise to bring
a good supply of summer
shoes. We were flown over by
air so I won't be able to tell
you much about the trip over
by boat except some inforna-
ton gathered from neighbors
who came by boat. If you
want that information you
may write me through RICH.

1ts <As1 3bONRUSSeCs
In reply to your request about
Guam, I am sending along the
following information. I spent
nearly two years there as the
wife of a Navy CPO.
The climate is always warm
and usually windy. Take a
sweater. though. and raincoat
as there is lots of rain.
The houses are Quonsits with
screened windows (no glass;.
They are furnished except for
linens, dishes. pots and pans.
It would probably be a good
idea to take an electric oven or
hot plate if you have one as
only kerosene stoves are fur
niShed. I'd advise taking all
small appliances with you.
Both vacuum cleaners and sew
ing machines were available at
about one to every six huts.
Don't take anything made Of
good wood as it is very damp
and humid. Light bulbs are
kept burning in the clothes
closets to keep clothes free
from mildew. There is a laun-
dry hut for every six hutS, too.
Some places have laundry tubs
for your own washing machine.
but not all. Cars are really
quite necessary. but do take
an awful beating Everything
ruStS out thereD
Shorts are worn at home all
the time. A lot of summer
cotton skirts and sun dresses
are nice. I had few occasions
for dresses with sleeves. Try
to have washable cottons. Ny
Ion is just too hot. The ship
store has most of these things
cheaper than here.
Aboard ship, shorts are gen.
orally not allowed. Pedal
pushers are favored, but you
are required to wear a dress
for dinner. I recommend
things that require little IRON
ing. You needn't worry about
the baby's bottles as the nurse
steriliZes them and makes the
formula. Take about eight
bottles though. Paper diapers
are used, if possible. I trav-
eled with 6-Week-old baby.
Mrs. r. L. c., Alexandria
We returned from Guam
last October and feel sure you
will enjoy your tour of duty
there.
The climate is humid and
hot, much like the summers
here, except that it cools off
at night for comfortable Sleep
ing. It rains a little most every
day. The average temperature
is 81 degrees and it never gets
cold.
There is a waiting list for
housing and you will have to
await Government clearance
before you can travel. The
waiting time is anywhere from

Bean Sprouts

You can sprout soy beans or
mung beans at home and enjoy
their fresh crispness first hand
or. if you don't want to take that
much trouble, any good Chinese
market can supply you with fresh
sprouts. If you haven't made
the acquaintance of bean sprouts,
you've been missing a treat.
Cook the sprouts quickly In a
small quantity of salted water
Is minutes is about the right
time. Drain them, and dress
with plain butter, or chopped
onion fried in butter, or tomato
sauce.
Serve them occasionally as a
salad. cooked. drained, and
chilled. Add little soy sauce
to your usual salad dressing for
extra flavor.

Club Leaders Urqe
Flud Ddy DispLoys

The presidents of two national
wonen's organizations have is
sued appeals to Americans to
fly the American flag on Flag
Day, Sunday.
Mrs. Oscar A. Ahlgren, presi-
dent of the General Federation
Of Women'S Clubs, said: There
is no better way for the Ameri-
can people to show their grati-,
tude and patriotism than by the
proud display of the United
States Flag from every Amert-
can home on Sunday"
A similar appeal was issued by
Miss Gertrude Carraway, presi-
dent general of the National So
ciety, Daughters of the American

RECIPE HINT.
&c. L. H., Washington
In reply to Mrs. M. G. C's
request for cleaning the cook
ing marks from her copper
cooking ware, we can give
congratulations to a bride for
the answer. ] had the same
problem and got the solution
from q friend of mine and it
really works like q charm.
Sprinkle the pan with a coat
ing of table salt and then sat-
urate your rag with vinegar
and rub. You will find that
all but the most stubborn
marks will disappear. and
these will be considerably
loosened for your steel wool.
When I have finished with the
salt and vinegar. I use steel
wool lightly for that last poll
ishing. It takes a jiffy and
can be done after each using.
Now I would like to thank
the donator for the recipe for
stuffed eggplant. I have tried
it and am passing it on to
my mother, I think it is so
wonderful. However, I have
tried a few additions to the
basic recipe that your readers
may find helpful. I added
garlic salt to the shells before
stuffing them and then put a
layer of grated cheese over the
top when they were ready for
the oven. To the dressing it
self. I added finely chopped
onion. All in all. it has turned
out exceptionally well.
