to find answers to these
questions:
How can the YWCA
purse be stretched to meet
expanding needs? Can we
reduce the number of COM
mittees and meetings and
at the same time get our
work done? Is the kind of
service and progrm that the
YWCA offers different
from that offered by other
agencies, and if so, makes
ii different? How can staff
and volunteers work to-
gether as a team?
A five-member panel will
begin the days program
with a symposium to dis
cuss the four areas of maj
or concern: Leadership,
structure, finance and CO.
operation Members of the
panel will be Mrs. Kins

which she says comes Of good
health, plenty of rest and diet,
and the will and desire to be
a success.
Few possess that necessary
drive-especially the men of
Hollywood" Ann observed.
Marion Brando is the only
one of the new young actors
who seems to light a fire when
he appears on the screen. He
will rank with the greatest,
I'm sure. Too bad. there are so
many other handsome young
men here, but so lacking in
that all-essential drive"
When Miss Harding is max

band, conductor Werner JAMS

they live in their beach home

Does she do any cooking?

NO she laughed, that's
strictly Mr.. Janssen's depart
ment. 1t all started during
World War II when there just
weren't any cooks to be en-
ployed. He started holding
forth from the kitchen and
since then I've become ter

cook who can top him."
Mr.. Jansen, she says, looks
on cooking as art. science and
poetry. He feels that half the
battle depends on supplies
SO he does all the marketing
himself.

recalled, recently demanded
'Werner-please, please give
me your secret for making
such delicious potatoes, to
which he replied, Show me the

After 1.-THE Intruder" is

Harding has no idea what
she'll be doing. "We never
make plans" she said firmly.
