Smartness as well as serviceability
will be the keynote of fashion for the
duration of the war. Women have
heard and will bear this statement1

be impressed enough with the impor-

Slauson, Tappan Schools To Open
New. Surgical Dressing Stations

In addition to the two existing sur-
gical dressing stations in Ann Arbor,
the Red Cross officials plan to open
two new branches at Slauson Junior
High school next Wednesday, Oct. 14,
and at Tappan Junior High School at
the end of this month, for the pur-
pose of supplying the increasing de-
w and for Army and Navy bandages
through volunteer work.
Stations In Rackham
The stations already established are
located in the ackham building
which is open every Tuesday and
Wednesday from 9 a. m. until noon
and from 1to 4 p. m., and at the Ann
CDVO To Aid
Coming Drive
The campaign committee -of the
USO-Community Fuhd drive, headed
by Earl H. Cress, yesterday an-
nounced plans to use a great many
CDVO volunteers in the coming drive.
The volunteers will be selected
from the lists of persons registered
with the Civilian Defense Volunteer
Office. Those who have indicated a'
special interest in public contact work
and similar activities will be given
preference. They will be given posi-
tions in all divisions of the campaign.
Those volunteers who are signed as
campaign workers will receive credit
on the 'same basis as other volunteer
workers. This credit will apply toward
the completion of the 50 hours of
volunteer service required by the
Citizens Service Corps for member-
ship in that organization.
All persons who work in the cam-
paign and are enrolled with the
CVDO will receive credit for their
work. It makes no difference whether
they enter the drive through the Civ-
ilian Defense Volunteer Office or
whether they enter through other
channels.

Arbor High school, operating from 7.
until 10 p. in. Thursday.
Volunteers may work at the new
unit in Slauson Junior High School
from 7 until 10 p. m. every Wednes-
day. Red Cross officials have not yet
decided the nights on which the 'Tp-
pan school station will function but
evening hours are scheduled.
With these additional stations, tlie
Red Cross officers hope to overcome
any decrease in volunteer work dte
to gasoline rationing by establishing
stations within convenient walking
distance for the majority of the vo-
unteers.
Instructors will be on hand at all
of these stations #nd the only uni-
form required is a clean work dress
or apron, according to Red Cross
headquarters.
dRnitting Material Available
For all those who wish to aid the
defense effort by knitting, the Red
Cross also stated, there is sufficient
material for 100 sleeveless sweaters,
60 mufflers, and 40 helmets. KCnitters
may apply for material at the Red
Cross Production rooms on Catberine
St. from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. today. The
finished products must be returned
by Dec. 1 for immediate shipment to
the armed forces. Material taken, out
before Aug. 15 should be returned by
next Saturday, the officials qn-
nounced.
The Civilian Defense Volunteer Of-
fice also announced 'that & volunteer
bookkeeper was needed to handle the
accounts for the Perry Nursery
school, which takes care of small chil-
dren, many of whose parents are war
workers. The hours would be twice a
week, preferably at noon time.
i.

stand the strongest wear, this dress
is perfect for your war-time courses
in nutrition, home nursing, or child
care.
Because slacks will become stan-
dard wear for classes in motor me-
chanics or first aid which are includ-
ed in the Women's War Training
Program, it will be necessary to have
at least' one or more pairs. Those
shown above provide the needed
smartness in 'the fine check with
carefully tailored pleats down the
front. Dressed in these slacks with a
matching jerkin you will be the envy
of those working with you.
In doing the war work which will
be demanded of each woman, it will
be necessary' to. be as comfortable as
'possible. Flat-heeled mocassins or
saddle-shoes or low-heeled walking
shoes are a perfect combination with
either dress or slacks.

Women Adopt
'PEM' Course
Conditioning Program Beginning
Tomorrow Will Stress Endurance
Here's the opportunity, time and
place specifically given, for the wo-
men on campus to start building up
their endurance and hardening their
bodies, in order that they be in the
best condition to help win this war.
The Physical Education depart-
ment for women has made the plans,
and now all students are urged to
attend either of the two body condi-
tioning classes, to be held at 2:30
p. m. and 3:20 p. m. tomorrow at the
W. A. B.
Anyone may attend, including i
freshmen who are enrolled in regular
physical education classes, also, up-
perclassmen are especially urged to
come out and make it a regular habit
according to Mrs. Dorothy Miller, of
the Physical Education department.
These classes will continue
throughout the semester at the ap-
pointed times. Students need not reg-
ister before-hand, but merely come
to the classes whenever they desire.
Weather permitting, the exercises
will be given outside on the field at
the W. A. B. When the classes are
forced inside, they will be held at
Barbour gymnasium.
The program will include exercises,
marching, and an obstacle course,
following the one used in PEM. Be-
sides this special body-conditioning
program, the first part of all regular
physical education classes will be
spent on an endurance program. The
different sports classes, meeting at
the same time, will band together in
one big group for part of the hour
for a mass exercise program.
