How To Ease Washday Toil BY VIVIAN BROWN AP Newsfeatures Writer You don’t have to “break your baak” on washday—much washday weariness can be avoided and many hours can be saved if home laundry work is planned to prevent stretch and strain. Scientists of the Illinois Experiment Station recent ly studied this washday job, which takes one to two days of many a housewife’s-working week, and is generally considered the heaviet household task. Here are their sug gestions to lighten the washday work: To save strain, the scientists ad vise wheeling loads of clothes around the laundry and out to the line instead of lifting and carry ing. A bench or box fitted with castors makes a convenient mov able support for tub, basket or hamper in the laundry. To transport clothes to the line, use a child’s coaster wagon, an old tea cart or the wheel base of an old baby carriage. When clothes must be carried, choose a con tainer that is easy to carry. In stead of toting a big hamper of clothes to the laundry, make a bag to fit the inside of the hamper which is easy to lift out when full of clothes. A sachel basket is easier to carry then the ordinary clothes basket. Line it with cloth, paper or oilcloth to prevent rough edges from catching clothes. Vnii ran avm'H ctnnnincf ar.H al low for standing erect at work by keeping these suggestion in mind: 1. Sort clothes on a table instead of on the floor. | 2 Place bricks or blocks of wood ' under the legs of the washing ma chine if it is not high enough. 3. Have wheeled carriers high enough to bring the tub or bas ket they hold to a convenient height—that is, about to the waist line. It is believed one third of the energy needed for hanging up clothes may be saved if the basket I is at a comfortable height. 4. A clothes pin bag sewed onto a clothes hanger can (be hooked over the line and pushed along as clothes are hung. 5. A taut clothes line within easy reach saves' much stretch in hang ing up clothes. Six feet is consider ed the best height for the average woman. -v Methodist Youth Fellowship Meets The New Hanover subdistrict of the Methodist Youth Fellowship held the monthly meeting Monday at the Sunset Park Methodist church.

Chorus Girls Who Snub i • War Work Are Out Of Step By RUTH MILLET A group of New York chorus girls, out of a job because their night club has become a restaurant answered. “Don’t be silly,” to the query if they would go into war work or other essential jobs. They have much more important plans for themselves than that. They are going to try for Holly wood careers, take dramatic les sons, go into modelling. One summed up their attitude with “Us chorus girls are unsuited for war work.” It looks as though their experi ence in a chorus line would be fairly good training for work on an assembly line. They have to stand on their feet in a chorus—and they would have to stand on their feet in a war plant. Their chorus girl hours should have prepared them for working nights and sleeping days— as the girls do on the swing shift. The keen competition they have known among themselves could be put to use in outshining other work ers at turning out war material. LEARN NEW ROUTINE And as for handling the wolves around a war plant, it ought to be easy to put a fresh foreman in his place, when a girl has had to know how to outwit society’s play boys. Besides, very few girls now working in war plants were “suited for that kind of work.” They just went ahead and learned it—the way a chorus girl learns a new dance routine. And many of them are just as young and just as pretty as the average chorus girl. So it looks as though in shrug ging off the suggestion that they might perhaps get into essential work for the duration the chorus girls are out of step—out of step with the times. WITH THE AEF: The Rhine Was Easy By WES GALLAGHER (Substituting For Kenneth L. Dixon) IN GERMANY.— (£>) —Take it from 12 of the happiest fighting men on the front, crossing the Rhine and bursting through Ger man defenses was ten times as easy as getting through the Sieg fried Line last October. V These men from the 117th In fantry Regiment of the 30th Divi sion suddenly were yanked out of battle east of the Rhine and told they were going home on 5-day furloughs. They had been in the thick of the fighting since Normandy. One sergeant was the only survivor of an original company of 150 men. Another was one of six left in a company which started out last June. They listed in order the tough est battles fought in Europe: (1) The original breaking of the Siegfried Line north of Aachen last September and October. (2) The bitter fighting around St. Lo last July when the division lost a large number of men in an Allied bombing. (3) The battle of the bulge when von Rundstedt broke through last December and January in the Ar dennes. (4) The Mortain battle when the 30th broke up a German attempt to cut off Patton’s Army by driv ing to the sea at Avranches. The Rhine, they agreed, was easy. But the eager Doughboys, and Capt. Victor Salem, 35, former cosmetic promotion man who was born in Austria but now lives in Kew Gardens, Queens, N. Y., wanted to talk about everything except battles. “I thought they were kidding when they yanked me off the tank just when we were going to start the attack and said I was going home,” said Salem, who woii the Silver Star with two clusters, the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. ‘‘I never saw anything like it, though, when we crossed the Rhine,” he said, “the boys were hot and they just wanted to keep on going until they got to Ber lin—and in a hurry. Two or three of the boys would go out on their own and come back with 50 pri soners.” Not one man knew his leave was coming up. Most were noti fied just as they were going into battle. “I was just going out on a task force,” said radio operator T John Esson of Flint, Mich. “Boy, I felt good. I just headed for a deep cellar, out of the way of shells before something happend to me.” “I didn’t waste any time hang ing around there,” said Pfc. Har ry Stahl, Newton, Kans., bar man who had been fighting in the front line for months. Pfc. Henry V. Ciozynski of Nan ticoke, Pa., who worked in regi mental . headquarters considered himself luckiest of all. Headquar ters was notified it had one place to fill. Names of eligible men were put in a hat and Cionzynski won the draw. T-Sgt. George Morris, 22, of Bemis, Tenn., said the first thing he wanted to do when he got home was get married but said he couldn’t think of anything to say to his fiancee that he “could tell her in the newspapers.” Leave came almost too late for S-Sgt. Joseph Bednarczyk of Wil limantic, Conn., a squardon lead er. The day before he got orders to leave, a shrapnel fragment rip ped through the sleeve of his coat. ‘I sure hope the war is over be fore I have to come back,” said Cpl. William D. Bassett, Char lotte, N. C. T-4 Donald Berg of Cannon Falls, Minn., had to flip with an other Doughboy to decide who went home. “I must have been living right because I won,” he said. Pfc. George Aker, Whytheville, Va., said the only thing he could think of when the word came was to get in a “deep hole and stay there until I could get away.” T-Sgt. Michael Cirullo, North Adams, Mass., stayed long enough to get rations up to his men and see them installed in position be fore taking off. Staff Sgt. Bernard Hendrixson of Liberty, Tenn., crossed the Rhine on his birthday and said “That’s one birthday I will never forget.” T-Sgt. George G. Hegler of Northport, 111., a pdatoon ser geant, at first didn’t want to give his name because he wanted to “surprise my folks” but then de cided that he would because “the rest of the fellows did.” -V_ Willkie Memorial Group Makes Payment On Club To Be Used As A Shrine NEW YORK, March 30.—OP)— The Wendell Willkie Memorial Building Fund announced today it made a $15,000 pament to take up its option on the former New York club, which it plans to re model as a memorial. The fund, sponsored by Free dom House, has received $125,000 In approximately 7,200 contribu tions and pledges, George Field, executive director, announced. A total of $250,000 is sought. The building, which will house a number of liberal organizations, is to be dedicated October 8, the first anniversary of Willkie’s death. Chadbourn Strawberry Market Opens Earlier Strawberries went on the mar ket Monday at Chadbourn, about a month earlier than usual, it was learned yesterday. Thanks to the kindliness of “old man weather”, who has kept the temperature in the seventies this week, growers in Chadbourn were able to sell the first crate of straw berries Monday. Three crates were sold Thursday and 14 yesterday. No great amount of the fruit is expected to be sold until April.9. That which has been sold has probably gone mostly to nearby points, it was learned, and ship ment to the East and other mar kets usually doesn’t start until the volume is great. No shipments have yet been made by Railway Express. About the same acreage has been planted as last year, but the volume is not expected to be as much, it was stated. MICKEY ROONEY LIKES HIS JOB PARIS,, March 30.— (UR)—Pfc. Mickey Rooney *aid that he “wouldn’t take Hollywood on a gold platter until the war ends,” as he waited today in line for chow at an Army rest camp near here. “But I'm just like any other GI.,” hi admitted. “I’ll sure be ready to pack up my bags the minute peace breaks out.” Rooney and 53 other peacetime showmen have been touring the front all winter in strenuous “jeep shows.” They have played in the dugouts of forward command posts and in open fields where on ly 10 men were allowed to gather because the enemy was observing. All received regular Army train ing and got no more privileges than any other soldiers. “Paris is gorgeous in the spring, but I can’t enjoy it as much as I did several months ago,” said Rooney. . “The front changes you. For four months we nearly died of cold, riding in open jeeps with the top down so we could jump into a ditch if there was any ene my action.” Rooney and his fellow troupers played to a thousand men or ten. sometimes with shells whizzing over their heads and gunfire marking a strange background rhythm to their music. -V- — Fiesta To Open Today With Children’s Party Continuous performances will be held at the Legion Spring Fies ta today beginning at 1 p.m. and continuing until midnight.

This afternoon, a "Children’s Party’’ will be staged from 1 p.m. until 6 p.m., sponsored by the Jew el Box, with Robert Berman as the host to school boys and girls under 16 years who will be admitted free at the main entrance gates. “Selden” the Stratosphere Man, will present his thrill exhibition on the high steel tower—138 feet in mid-air—twice today at the matinee at 4 p.m. and at 10:30 p.m. The act has attracted record breaking crowds every night this week. -V YANKS EXECUTED PARIS, March 30.—(AT—Two U. S. soldiers were executed in Nor mandy yesterday for criminal as sault and murder, the Army an nounced today. Their names were not disclosed. Course Of Jap Steamer Bearing Relief Goods For U. S. Men Changed SAN FRANCISCO, March JO.— Mb—A Japanese Domei news agen cy dispatch today said the course of the steamer Awa Maru, dis patched to deliver relief supplies to American prisoners of war and internees, had been changed, ef fective April 3. The wireless report, directed to the United States and recorded by the Federal Communications Commission, said circumstances had made it impossible for Xp Awa Maru to enter Moji. Kuyshu island port of Japan’s inland sea. U. S. Pacific Fleet carrier air craft have recently raided Kyushu and inland sea targets. Domei said the Awa Maru had been sent to southern Asiatic waters. Presumably, it is due to return to Japan. -v Pilot In Fighter Crash Identified By Air Base Second Lieut. Albert J. Sieben, 24, of Milwaukee, Wis., was identi fied yesterday by the Bluethen thal Array Air Base office as the pilot who was killed at 8 p.m. Thursday in the crash of his P-47 fighter plane off the Winter Park Market street highway. The aviator's name had been withheld pending the notification of his next of kin, a brother, Paul R. Sieben, of 2044 North 33rd street, Milwaukee. A board of qualified Army offi cers continued an investigation to day into the accident, the cause of which has not been determined yet. Witnesses said the plane fell about 100 yards from the highway and burst into flames. Air base tire fighting equipment was rush ed to the scene. -V Allied Planes Bombard German Supply Trains As Italy Action Stalls ROME, March 30.— (U.R)—Medi terranean - based tactical planes resumed the offensive against German supplies and escape routes from Italy today as ground action again was stalled by bad weather.
