GEORGE | They are tidying up some of the scars of war on the sea-front at Dymchurch on the Kent coast of England. They are looking to the ture. It was of the future that we talker. when I met 15-year-old Daphne Austin, daughter of the local butcher, at her bungalow home near the sea. "I want to be a nurse," said Daphne, as so many youngsters have said before her. But Daphne seemed to mean it. Daphne will tell you quite a lot about herself--how she became a Brownie when she was seven, a Guide at 11, and later a Sea Ranger. She will recall for you that sunny afternoon of August 15, 1944. She was playing with other children on the recreation ground near her Some when disaster fell out of the ue. Aly had been taught, the children lay on the ground when they heard a flying bomb coming over. But a second bomb, hit by artillery fire, caught them by sure prise. Daphne was terribly injured about the face; but her first thought was for one of the younger children. Then she was taken to hospital. 'Through, the years she has en- dured 15 operations. She has en- dured them with a courage and fortitude that have been an inspira- tion to all around her. Only re- cently has she been able to come home for brief spells, * * & But you must go elsewhere for the complete story of Daphne Austin's bravery. You must know that the Ameri- can Army doctor who attended her immediately after the bomb had fallen described her as "the bravest kid I have ever seen." You must talk to Miss' Weth, headmistress of the little school at Dymchurch which know the mean- ing of bombs and of cannon shells. Miss Weth will tell you: "Da- phne was always shy and nervous; she cried easily when she could not do her sums. But gradually we won her confidence. And: all that she has had to go through seems to have brought out the very best in her. She has shown a wonderful example of courage." You must talk to Mrs. Pringle, formerly captain of the local Guides and now skipper of the Sea Rangers. Mrs. Pringle will tell you: "When Daphne first came to us she was so shy that she had to be taken inte a separate room to be enrolled. "And now this same girl has shown courage not of the spur-of- the-moment kind, but of the en- during sort that faces up to what has to be done over a long period. She has been wonderfully cheerful through it all. We are immensely prod Hhatyhe 1s one of us." ' ou mus to them at een Victoria Cottage Hospital, Queen Grinstead.

Next month Daphne goes back to hospital--for her 16th operation. But she will endure it. And one day her hopes will be realized: She will become a children's nurse. 8i! 8i! You must embroider these.

Prepare foods. carefully and do not handle more than necessary to prevent bruising. Clean utensils of enamel, aluminum or stainless steel should be used in processing. (Iron pans discolour vegetables.) 3. Blanching is recommended for all es' and peaches, pears and apples. Use a kettle large enough to hold 8 gallon of water. Place vegetables in a wire basket or cloth bag; immerse product in rapidly boiling water; begin count- ing the processing time. when the water again comes to a full rolling boil; blanch for the required period of time. During-the blanching per- fod agitate the vegetable by moving the container up and down in the boiling water. The length of 'time shbuld be watched carefully. Use a reliable chart. ar: 3 4. Chill the vegetables in ice-wa- ter quickly. Run cold water through them or plunge into-a basin of wa- ter and ice cubes: Time this opera- tion also. TE 5. Pack food in containers imme- diately after cooling, with or with- out the-addition of a brine solution. A brine solution keeps the product in shape and prevents it from thaw- ing while being brought home from the locker. 6. To prepare a brine solution, add one teaspoon salt to each cup of water. Too much 'salt may cause vegetables to become tough. 7. Bring interlining paper toge- ther over the top of vegetable, ex- cluding air, and seal with warm curling tongs or lukewarm iron, Put on lid and label in large bold let- ters. A strip of transparent tape over marking is a good idea. 8.

George Bernard Shaw Wants a 'Revolushun' Mr. George Bernard Shaw has issued a manifesto to the House of Commons, the Lords and the Dail, calling for a revolution. It advo- cates simplified spelling -- which, says the playwright, would save two months' 'working days per scribe every year. : "I reflected on the number of | plays Shakespeare would have had' time to write if he had written them in the alphabets of Pitman, Sweet, or Gregg," Mr. Shaw tells the leg- islators. "And on the staggering fact:that Dickens, though a professional verb- atim reporter, had to go through the drudgery of writing all his novels in Johnsonese longhand for | the printer." | Going into the mathematics of the business, Mr. Shaw says this: "In any fair and simple test be-| tween two experts copying the same text for a minute in Johnsonese and in phonetic the time saved by phonetic will come out round about 20 per cent, as stated by our phone- ticians. "Such a figure impresses nobody. But the figure is wrong: it leaves' out the time factor. We are used | to read tent as per cent per year; but In the test per cent is per. cent per minute, "Now there are 525,000 minutes in 8 year, consequently the saving of 20 per cent. per minute means a labor saving of two months' working days per scribe every year. "Multiply this figure by an esti- mate of the number of persons' who at every moment of the 24 hours are writing . the English language in the British Commonwealth and 'in America, and the total is astronom- ical. We Must Do It u "The mere suggestion -of 'it Is .enough to sweep away the notion | that we cannot afford the change. On the contrary, we cannot afford to postoone it fo: five minutes. As to teaching children 'writing and spelling, I urged a Minister of Education to allow and encourage them to spell phonetically just as they speak, which would enable teachers to detect their mispronun- ciations and correct them. "He replied that the slightest hint of such a heresy would banish him from public life." Tailpjece -- Mr. Shaw (91 next July) said that his new play, for the 1948 Malvern Festival, is a "purposeiy unfinished comedy," with a "peep into the future."

That's just too bad, but it is a common complaint, especially this time of the year when the trotters seem to be burning with indigation, That may be truer than it sounds; they may be mad because they have been neglected, packed into the wrong shoes. The more open the shoe, the bet- ter. The more air that comes in contact with the feet, the less sting will there be in the cutaneous sur- faces. But even sandals should be carefully fitted, There should be & snug strap over the instep, the shoes should provide support for if you please. Uncomfortable Feet Hot tempers in hot weather 'may be due to uricomfortable feet. They should be bathed daily and if there is much discomfort, a five-minute massage with mineral oil or a good cream will put them in form. without a curve in the United States. Changing the shoes frequently brings relief, Run-over heels should never be tolerated. They affect the bones of the feet as well as tendons and tis. sues and are a real menace. Running barefoot on a sandy beach is a treat for heels and toes. The sand cools the flesh, frictions calloused spots. : 5 Point Toes Ahead Whei walking point toes straight ahead. Don't forget that . rule. Toes. that turn out will bring flat feet, weaken the ankles that - are one-way hinges, and don't like to be twisted. h The next time you go shoe shop- .ping, consider comfort povided by the leather cases rather than the decorative elements they offer. It is possible to buy shoes that are both sensible and smatt. - : : Have shoes fitted in the late, af- ternoon when feet are tired, more sensitive. than in the morning hours, Wear stoekings that are a full inch longer than your foot. Avoid round garters; they inter- fere with circulation, can make toes smart and tingle, % lclub Calendar For Next Week MONDAY Pleasant Monday P.M. Club Castle Chapter O.L.C.

Press Staff Writer WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT -- . Acknowledging an Invitation? By MRS CORNELIUS BEECKMAN i My husband and I have just re- ceived a formal (engraved) invita- tion to the wedding of a daughter of a very dear friend of ours. The large double sheet is an invitation to the church ceremony, and en- closed is a card of invitation to the reception, which is to be given at the try Club. Should this invitation be acknowledged since it is from such a close friend of ours, and since she kn that. we will attend the wedding? If you tell me that we should reply, what is the proper form? R.T. Yes, you must reply to the invi. tation to the reception. The fact that the hosts are intimate friends of yours and even the fact that you have told them you are going to attend the reception do not 'mean that your obligation to reply to the invitation is cancelled. As the replies to the reception invita- tions are received, they will be di- vided into ceplances and re- grets", so that the order for a cer- tain number of places can be given to the manager of the club. This Were you ever. in a spot and need- ed a nickel for a cup of coffee? And did you, as a movie fan, ever wonder 'if perhaps Hollywood had reached the end of the road and that from then. on you would. see rehashes of rehashes? If you did have that hopeless feeling that goes with needing a cup of coffee or that beaten feeling about' the movies, surely someone came along with the nickel to re-establish your faith in human nature just as Hollywood has done to make you feel better about the flicks. The latest effort to bring the in- dustry right back to par is "The Yearling," a picture that no family in the country should miss. You have, no doubt, heard about the book by Marjorie Kinnan Raw- lings. It was the simple story: of a family of three who carved 'their future from the scrub forest 'of Florida. The mother, bitter, "tired.of her lot; the husband, an idealist who knew that sweat and faith and work were the ingredients necessary for a happy future, and the son who walked and talked with the wild life that surrounded the jungle clearing. Hollywood has taken that story, and with a Kindness and under- standing that will stir your heart, has made a tender motion picture, one of the finest we have seen in many moons. It was released for a short ap- pearance last year to qualify for the Academy Awards and Claude Jar- man Jr., the son of the family did win a special award. The boy is'sup- erb. Now it is to appear in the M. G. M. circuit so that you can see it, and M.GM. is, and should be, just- ly proud. The picture is made in technicol- or--one of the finest jobs the co'or art has produced. Without the in- terjection of too much sentimental- the authoress must have felt her original story. Its greatest beauty is in its simplicity. The story has little to tell. But it talks softly of the life of the three and it shows the emotions A that rule a family living close to nature and it shows them beautifully. Gregory Peck, as Penny Baxter the father, has set himself a stand- ard of acting that he will have to | struggle to maintain. Peck is now among the screen greats. Jane Wy- man as his wife who has suffered the loss of three offspring and who bears the scars of her suffering under a banner of cynicism, was a happy choice for the role she so sympathetically interprets. We won't comment on Claude Jarman Jr. He is one of the miracles Hollywood produces when necessary. Adorable Sunsuit « The best little sunsuit you ever did see!

Mrs, Beeckman will be glad to answer questions on What Should I Do? A Physician Advises You By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, 'M.D. « WHAT TO DO FOR JAUNDICE To say that a person has jaun- dice means little because of . the many different disorders which can produce this yellowish discoloration of the skin, When such a patient comes to a doctor, the doctor will know that bile pigments are col- lecting in the blood and tissues but only a careful study will reveal why; therefore if it is at all pos- sible he will want his patient to go to the hospital where laboratory tests can be made\to determine the cause, } According to Dr. Frederick Steig- mann of Chicago, jaundice is not usually due to a disorder which re- quires immediate operation and sometimes operation is not needed ism, the book is reproduced just as| at all, Causes of Jaundice Among the causes of jaundice are the blocking of the flow of bile from the liver, the presence of a storie in one of the biliary ducts or an inféction of the liver. 'Whatever the cause of the jaun- dice, the patient needs rest. Then he requires a carefully regulated diet, Every jaundice patient should receive a diet high in calories, rich in starches and sugars, as well as in certain essential proteins from such foods as meat, milk and eggs. He should be supplied with plenty of vitamins, but the diet should be limited in fats, If the patient can- not take enough food by mouth, he may be given various sugar solu- tions by injections into the vein. He may be given a solution of amino acids which are a substance from which proteins are made. Vitamins may also be given by in. jection, Itching of Skin Jaundice is frequently accom- panied by severe itching of the skin. To relieve this, special pre- paration of ergot, warm baths, or various enemas may be of value. If the jaundice is accompanied by a severe infection, the sulfonamide products, as well as penicillin may be used without any fear, according to Dr. Steigmann. If it is found, after careful study, that operation is required to get rid of the cause for jaundice, the treat- ment as mentioned above will aid in improving the patient's condi- tion so that he is better able to withstand the operation. The patient with jaundice should not be given any anesthetic such as €ther which has a damaging effect on. the liver. During the operation, it may be important also to give injections of ephedrine fn order to keep up the blood pressure. Bear in mind that jaundice is only a symptom and can be hest treated when the cause has been found.
