Army and the blue of the Navy, all
making the Military Ball one of the
most attractive of campus dances.

Bought Pony As Youngster
As a youngster, Red, born Kenneth,
was stuffed with piano lessons by his
musical family, but he didn't like the
piano and rebelled. With some money
he had saved he bought himself a
pony.
The pony got traded in for a xylo-
phone and Red proceeded to teach
himself to play the instrument. This
was all quite a while ago, of course,
and since then the name of Norvo,
who will bring his band here Friday
to play for Frosh Frolic, has become
practically synonomous with the
xylophone.

Women Invade Press Relations
Services Of Army And Navy
By. MARILYN MAYER
It's really time to chalk one up
for the women when the Army re-
sorts to adding a "woman's, page"
angle to their press relations serv-
ices!
The "woman's page" release is
specially designed to circulate infor-
mation, thus giving out material for
radio and newspaper writers, ac-
quainting women's organizations with
what women and women's clubs are
doing for the draftees and even per-
sonally answering letters from the
families of enlisted men coming un-
der the women's department.
Chairuken Are Named
Mrs. William P. Hobby is the chief
of the Women's Interests Section of
the War Department while Mrs. Lou-
ise Daniels is Women's Page Editor
for the Navy.
Subjects included in the weekly
releases edited by these women in-
clude "recreation for Army soldiers,"
"consumption of tea and coffee by,
the Army," "Army schools for cooks
and bakers," "soldiers' new khaki
work uniforms, replacing the old blue
denims," "new Army nurses' uni-
forms" and "Thanksgiving Day din-
ners for the Army."
Squibs Kept On Hand
A "filler" service kept by Mrs.
Daniels for women's pages includes
two- and three-inch squibs to fill
in small holes in the pages. Two
collections of "favorite recipes of
Navywites" have been published by
the department, as well as knitting
instructions for Navy sweatersand
helmets asked for by the Red Cross.
Both Mrs. Hobby and Mrs. Daniels
employ large staffs to collect, ar-
range, and disseminate the necessary
information, and to keep them still
busier, radio programs, bulletins,
pamphlets and specially conducted
field trips through the various Army
and Navy establishments for radio
and newspaper women fill out their
schedules.
