Why The Breaks For Brunettes?
Red-Headed Miss Millett Asks
BV RUTH MILLETT i
Brunettes seem to be one up
n blondes and red-heads.
In Washington, a telegraph com
nv advertised for girls to fill
ihe job of train pages at the Union
station. The ad specified bru
nC\4ted. “How come?” officials
f tne company
said' that bru
nettes are “more
"table” than
blondes and red
bead? and out
last them on a
icb by an aver
age of two,
months.
It the blondes
and red - heads
don't s q u e lch
that kind of pro
paganda r 1 g h t|
now. they are
likely to find Ruth Millett
themselves pushed into the back
ground while the brunettes grab
the jobs.
HOW TO SQUELCH THE IDEA
I; wouldn’t even be surprising
U men. reading that brunettes are
more stable than their lighter
haired sisters, would reason that
they would make better wives,
yter all. if they last longer at a
business job, it would be only nat
ural to suppose they would also
last longer at the job of home
niaking. . ,
So you see, it is up to the
blondes to put a stop to such pro
brunette propaganda.
The long, hard way of doing it
would be for the blondes and red
heads to make a conscious effort
to out-sit their brown-haired sis
ters at any one job.
But the rumor could be squelch
ed much more earily than that.
The blondes and red-heads might
just suggest—sweetly of course—
that perhaps the reason why bru
nettes last so long at their jobs
because they don’t have so
main- opportunities to marry and
leave them as do their fair-haired
sisters. That ought to knock the
rumor in the head—but quickly:
It's a mean retort. But these
days you have to fight propagan
da'with any weapon at hand.
(Editor’s note: Miss Millett
is a red-head.)

In addition, discussing a tremen

“liberated areas” as Allied forces
of occupation move into continental
Europe, he disclosed that these ac
tivities also are to be put on a
lend-lease basis. Great Britain and
the United Kingdom will partici
pate, he said, and the cooperation
of all the United Nations is nec
essary, too.
The President held out the Egyp
tian campaign as a demonstration
of what united action can do. Brit
ish troops, planes and ships did
most of the fighting, he said, while
America made its big contribution
in transportation and supplies.
“In spite of all difficulties of
weather, terrain and enemy ac
tion,” he said, “our supply lines
functioned so well that at the cru
cial moment United Nations forces
were able to take the field with
clear superiority* in armored
strength, artillery and, air power.”
He reported that American pro
duction is still on the increase,
and its peak still far away, while
the war production of America’s
allies has already reached its ut
most; In the last few months, he
said, the output of the nation’s
war factories has equipped Ameri
can forces on a huge scale, and
gone for the assistance of allied
nations as well.
“But there is still not enough,”
he said. “Many more American
ships, planes, tanks and guns will
be required before the United Na
tions can wage the great offen
sives that can bring victory.”

“The retail merchants enjpyed

Preparations to play host to the
youngsters have lieen completed by
the shipyard. The visit will afford
them the opportunity to see how
the scrap they collected, essential
in the manufacture of steel, is put
to use in building ships for Uncle
Sam’s vital war supply routes.
Early this month, Virginia school
and salvage authorities selected
three youths from the schools which
led the drive to attend the launch
ing ceremonies for the vessel
whose name was selected in a state
wide poll. Accompanied by a
teacher, Miss Frances Owen, of the
Greenwich school, Nokesville, and
Paul W. Manns, assistant execu
tive secretary of the Virginia Sal
vage committee, they will arrive
here Sunday morning.
The pupils are Robert Jackson,
11, Greenwich school; Earl Bullard,
18, Fieldale High school and Will
iam L. Hairston, 15, of Martinsville
Junior High school.
Each will represent an institu
that made a most enviable record
during the salvage collection ef
fort.
The Greenwich school, an ele
mentary unit with but 21 pupils in
Prince William county, had the
highest per pupil scrap collection
in the state, 1,265.9 pounds per
child for a total of 26,584 pounds.
Martinsville Junior High was sec
ond. Its 268 students collected an
average of 692.56 pounds each, a
total of 185,615 pounds. Fieldale
High, in Henry county and with
733 students, was next with 435.9
pounds average per student for a
total of 312,240 pounds.
In selecting the name Pocahon
tas, the school children honored
one of the prominent figures in
their state’s early colonial history.
Born about 1595, she was the
daughter of Powhatan, chief of the
Cbiokahominy Indians.
She became friendly with the
English colonists, who landed at
Jamestown in 1607, and was cred
ited by Captain John Smith with
saving his life when her people
were on the verge of tomahawking
him, although historians disagree
as to the veracity of Smith's story.
In 1613, after Smith left James
town, Pocahontas, then about 18
years of age, was taken as a host
age by the English. She was, how
ever, treated well and given Chris
tian instruction. In April, 1614, she
married John Rolfe, an English
gentleman, and in 1616 went with
him to England where she was re
ceived as an Indian princess and
often called Lady Rebecca. She
bore him a son but died In 1617 on
the verge of her departure for
America. The eight years peace
between the Indian- and the col
onists which the marriage of Poca
hontas and Rolfe brought about
helped the young colony achieve a
firm foundation.
The first Liberty ship to be
launched here after being named
by school scrap collectors was the
Richard Caswell, which slid down
the ways Thursday afternoon. The
name was suggested by North Car
olina pupils in honor of the state’s
first governor. South Carolina stu
dents have selected the name
Christopher Gadsden for ‘‘their
ship” and West Virginia children
Rowan. Both vessels will . be
have decided to honor Andrew S.
launched in the near future with
ceremonies comparable to those
conducted at the christening of the
Richard Caswell and planned for
the Pacahontas.
These programs will complete the
participation of the North Carolina
Shipbuilding company in the na
tional program of honoring the
school pupils for their part in the
salvage campaign.

OPA HEAD DEFENDS
FUEL RATION IDEA
(Continued from Page One)
mula for fixing the amounts to
householders.
The committee said that instead
of cutting allotments on a percent
age basis ,the OPA decided on a
formula for determining the
amount of oil needed to heat a
given number of square feet in a
given county.
This formula, the committee
said, ignored not only such weath
er factors as wind velocity and
humidity but also the height of
ceilings and the thickness of walls
in homes.
Disclaiming any intention of
“attacking”’ the Senate commit
tee, Henderson said that “not even
rough justice” would have been
done by the simple percentage cut
plan referred to by the commit
tee.
Tests made in 1,000 eastern sea
board homes before rationing
started showed that if a flat per
centage cut from last year’s con
sumption had been adopted, 30
per cent of the houses centrally
heated by oil—or about 1,000,000
households—would not have had
enough to maintain “a minimum
standard of health and decency,"
Henderson asserted.
Twenty per cent, or 600,000
homes would have had too much
fuel oil, and 50 per cent would
have had roughly the right
amount, but even from some of
the latter 1.500,000, appeals and
complaints would have come in to
add to the burdens of local ration
boards, he said.
Henderson said that the admit
tedly “complicate plan” was chos
en “because of the depth of the
necessary cut.”
The program was not one which
could be deferred until the train
ing of the rationing organization
was perfected, he said, because
“our action was dictated by king
winter.”
“We had to do the fastest gov
ernmental job that ever has been
done,” he stated. “As a matter of
fact. I am damned proud of this
job.”
