Rassett, to express our most he
extended to us all by your Ser
vecemen's Centers in Chris
tiansted and Frederiksted. It
is indeed a marvellous thing
you have done in establishing
these Centers. No problem
can present more frightening
possibilities than the result of
many servicemen into a COM
paritively small area. You
have met this challenge by
providing adequate facilities
for relaxation & clean whole
some entertainment. Our
most sincere thanks to you &
your fellow citizens who
made this possible. 49,
The foregoing is only one Of
many such letters of thanks
received by the Committee
headed by Senior Chairman,
Mrs. William Thayer, and Co
Chairman, Mrs. William Gre
cory.
The Centers in both Chris
tiansted & Frederil sod have
been doing a consistently OUT
standing job Of providing a
home ashore for servicemen
visiting st. Croix. At the Cen
tiers in both communities, the
men are provided with recrea
tional facilities, refreshments,
and a place set aside for them
where they can relax and feel
at home.
All this doesn't just hap

ned, organized work on the
part of volunteers who have
been contributing their time
and efforts to provide for the
large number of servicemen
who visit the Centers. Al
though much of the work is
voluntary, there is considera-

These Women

Iraqi girls claim their American

Mohammad Fadhil Jamali, wife o:
the Iraq foreign minister.
Mrs. Jamali, an American, wa!

start of summer speaking tout
through this country and Canada
She notes that young women in
Iraq, doubtful about our system Of
counting, ask her:
"How do people get married in
the West? With so much freedom
how can they not 60 wrOng?"
In the Middle East, an Iraqi girl
can express opinions on her future
husband, but the actual marriage
proposal is made through an in.
termediary to the girls father. At
ter a consultation, the young man
is either refused or accepted.
Mrs. Jamali, a mother of three
teen-age sons, has taught English
in Iraq for % years. She first met
her husband at the University OF
Chicago, renewed acquaintance in
his native country and married him
in Baghdad in 1888. She wears no
wedding ring because it's not Gus

She lets her husband buy clothes
for her on his frequent trips

Iraqi women follow all Western
styles, says Mrs. Jamali, adding:
Short hair-doS are popular. A

fashion magazine arrives, nothing
else is read"

LONDON-Many teen-age Gen

their special garb whether the

"zoot suits" of the 4Os.
Walking down the crowded
streets of East End London I
found the newest fed to hit SINE
of the English teen-agers-the
Edwardian dress of Edward VII

ed Teddy Boys"
There has been much contro-
versy over the dress of the lSto-
2O-year-oldS who adopted this I'm.
usual revival of Edwardian dress
dress from the upper classes who
wore it after the last war. Since
several teen-age gangs have been
connected with crimes of some
violence in recent months, Lon.
doners look upon them with dis
approving eyes.
l stopped to talk to one couple
who seemed quite mannerly, al
though the boy wore the strange
Edwardian clothes, and the girl
wore heavy makeup around the
eyes. They were quick to say
that they were of the "centerists
wing" of the style movement. This
group does not want any change
of the original Edwardian style.
But there are the ''leftists''
who wear the extremely exagger-
ated clothes and the "rightists''
who even go back to Victorian
STYLES.
The next day l visited a small
tailor shop where they happened
to be making a suit for a lad who
was of the extremist" wing.
