Paging Uncle Sam: How About Badges For Soldiers" Wives -----“““-- V BY RUTH MILLETT NEW YORK. May 11.— The soldier’s wife went to New York city to be near her hus band for a few days. She found New York a friendly place, its Vuicv i t i 7Pn c T1PVPV tflO rushed to be« friendly and* helpful to a man| in uniform andii the woman with him. But when her husband wasn't beside her she; wasn’t shown the extra cour tesies, the extra friendliness and' helpfulness h i s i n i f o r m had called forth. On the way Ruth Millett mime sue .stopped at omer cities to sight see—and found the same thing true. She was just a lone woman that no one felt any partic ular urge to be nice to. She wasn’t finding fault when she told about her experience — just pointing out how nice civil ians in large cities are treating soldiers on leave. But why shouldn’t the soldier’s wife receive the same special cour tesies when she is alone that she receives when she is with her husband? If she is alone because her man is away from home, defending his country, shouldn’t the men and women her husband is fighting for treat her with special considera tion? Certainly they would if they knew that she was the wife of a soldier. And there should be some way for them to know. A pin. perhaps, worn only by wives with men in the service — not showing their husband’s rank, showing only that he is fighting for his country ir whatever place he is needed and is capable of fill ing. The life of a woman alone is none too pleasant. It isn’t easy for a woman used to having a man at her side to find herself alone. It would be easier if she could wear some kind of badge which would tell all who serve her or might serve her that she is alone because her husband is serving his country. Then they could go out of their way to show her spe cial attention and special consider ation. It should give comfort, too, to a soldier to know that people would be more ready to extend courtesies to his wife, because of her badge or pin. while he is away at his duties. We all say nothing is too fine for our boys. Then, let us prove it by helping to fully honor their wives—which a soldier will ap preciate more than honor to him self.

GAYNOB MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer Sultry days ahead. Better begin brushing up on new ways to make the old standby—iced coffee—even better. You don’t have to be a gourmet to prepare iced coffee well. All you need are several long glasses, a pitcher, some ice cubes, coffee and ice cream, whipped cream or other ingredients you may wish to use. When making iced coffee for your soldier guests, remember they like their drinks rich The extra cream, syrup or chocolate means extra energy. Here are three of their favorite iced coffee recipes. HONEY COFFEE SMOOTHIE Add 1 teaspoon honey to each 3-4 cup strong, hot, freshly made coffee. Pour into glasses naif filled with ice cubes and add a tablespoon of cream. Top with a big spoonful of vanilla or mocha ice cream. Serve with sipper spoons. COFFEE MAPLE CBEAM Add 1 1-2 tablespoons ma p 1 e syrup to each 3-4 cup strong, hot freshly made coffee. Pour into glasses half filled with ice cubes. Top with whipped cream sweet ened with maple syrup. D u st with scraped maple sugar. Serve with sipper spoons. COFFEE CHOCOLATE FBAPPE For each person to be served, combine 3 tablespoons chocolate syrup with 3-4 cup strong h o t freshly made coffee. Pour into tall glasses half filled with ice cubes Top with a big spoonful of sweet ened whipped cream of ice cream. Serve with sipper spoons. And here are a few hints in making iced coffee. If you put your ice cubes in the coffee, make the coffee double strength or else melting cubes will weaken it. Better yet, prepare coffee ice cubes and don’t worry abou weakened coffee. The added color and taste will make the drink more inviting, too. _ TOMOBROW’S MENU BREAKFAST: Orange juice, oatmeal, raisin toast, coffee, milk.
