THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FIVE .v !. 'a cavau: .cc '.. fa1r E 1 , a Peoples of Liberated Nations Need Useable Castoff Clothes . UNRRA Asks American Aid For Thirty Million Children "What can you spare that they can wear?" is the slogan which sets the tempo for the nation-wide clothing drive which opened April 1 and will continue throughout the month, un- der the sponsorship of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. More than 30,000,000 children a- lone in liberated or to be liberated nations in Europe are without ade- quate clothing. UNRRA's appeal isj for good serviceable used clothingI which will enable sufferers in war devastated areas to reconstruct their homes and towns. Clothing Must Come from America Because the misery and poverty of war has not touched America, it isj easy to overlook the desperate need for clothing and supplies in Europe. But clothing for war sufferers must come from America. Scarcely any new clothing has been available at any price in Europe since the out- break of war, and much of the cloth- ing families were able to salvage has been stolen by ransacking enemy soldiers. More of our allies in war-ravaged Europe are dying from lack of cloth- ing than froni lack of food. Although articles contributed to the drive need not be in perfect repair, they must be in condition to be useful to the wear- er. Cotton clothing must be washed but not ironed and all articles given in pairs, such as shoes or stockings must be tied together. Both winter and summer garments are needed. Method of Shipping Clothing received in local collec- tion depots will be sorted and shipped to regional warehouses, wliere it will be vacuum cleaned, resorted, and pressure packed to conserve space. The bales will be disinfected while in the holds of ships in transit to Eur- ope. The clothing will be distributed free and without discrimination to the needy and destitute men, women, and children in some 44 allied and liberated countries. Giving to this drive is not charity, it is simply a way of making up in part for the tremendous sacrifices European peo- ple have made to spare America from the shock of a total war. -Lynne Ford A dress that will take you every- where can be found in the new Persian print models of rayon crepe.

Waves Aboard; All Is Not Welt When the recent order permitting sea duty for WAVES became effect- ive, complications arose, for although a ship may be "she" to its crew, when naval architects designed her it was strictly for a man's war. Proudly junior officers showed the first Wave aboard their ship the bridge and explained to her the range-finders. They were taken aback, however, when she timidly asked about the powder room. An old sea dog saved the day by taking the young thing on a tour through the ship, and by the time they returned top deck, swarming carpente'rs and plumbers had rectified the over-sight. Holes in Stockings Can Be Eliminated By Care of Heels Holes in the heels of stockings are second only to runs as a cause of sending stockings to the rag-bag. This sort of wear is increased greatly by rough skin on the heels, and many stockings could be saved by keeping this area of the skin smooth. The proper time for caring for the skin on the heels is during the daily bath. Soap should be rubbed on a brush and the heel brushed for sev- eral minutes. This brushing helps to soften callouses and removes many of the harsh scales which cling to the skin. The feet should be carefully rinsed and dried. Dean Compiles List of Work Open to Coeds Coeds interested in holding part- .ime jobs should contact Mrs. Mary a. Bromage at the office of the Dean of Women. Mrs. Bromage recently listed a variety of jobs open to coeds includ- ing working with a kindergarten teacher after 3 p.m. daily, soda foun- tain work on State Street, a child care job for afternoons, clerking in a music store, and a job selling in the fashion department of a local store. Local housewives have put in re- quests for two students to live-in, and part-time work is also available for a student who drives. Further information on any of these openings may be secured at the Office of the Dean of Women. Serv icewomen Get Award for Styles Every woman in the uniformed ser- vices can consider herself the reci- pient of a special award for tops in approved fashions, according to the Fashion Academy of New York which, in announcing recently the 13 best-dressed women of the year, presented The Public Life award to servicewomen. As representatives of women in the armed services, Major Juanita Red- mond, chief of the Army Air Force nursing personnel division and Lt. Gelman Spencer of the Navy Nurse Corps received crested gold medals.

For dates, classes, week- ending, or Sunday dinner the suit is always the "right thing." This spring many of the Ann Ar- bor stores are featuring comfortable wools in pastel shades. Plain car- digan styles as well as, the more fancy dressmaker suits are proving very popular with Michigan women. Gabardines, too, are receiving a generous share of attention, and most coeds know that a gabardine can't be beat for comfort and wear. These suits are practical, too, from another standpoint-they stay looking fresh and well-pressed under conditions which would discourage and unpleat other wools. One of the top-notches in the seas- on's suit hit parade belongs to the checked wools. These attractive, gay checks in almost all of the spring colors are being seen in increasing . numbers, and their popularity is cer- tainly well-deserved. The checked skirt may also be worn with a jacket E of a harmonizing color. Suits are, indeed, as much a part of spring in Ann Arbor as are the rainy days, the May Festival, or the campus bicyclers. Elects Officers At its annual elections, Sigma Al- pha Mu Fraternity elected David Loewenberg, Prior, Henry Keiser, Ex- checquer, and Stuart Alexander, Re- corder. The fraternity also announces the I nstallation of ten new pledges; Mur- ray Grant, Seymour Lichter, Milton Goldrath, Harry Stern, Jerry Green- berg, Bernard Meislin, Frank Wolf, Herbert Ruskin, Walter Bergner and BernardHarris.

Daily washing of underthings is a more sensible approach to the sub- ject of daintiness than having to stay in Saturday afternoons -to take care of that lump of clothes that has piled up during the week. Fabric gloves need to be washed after each wearing. Stockings should be washed after each wearing and as soon as they are taken off--not next day or next week. With the new lingerie bath, washing is a pleasure, and garments after drying are deli- cately scented. Schedule for WAA Bowling Is Posted The schedule for the second round of games in the WAA bowling tour- nament is now posted in the WAB. These games must be played this week and will be regarded as default- ed if not completed at the scheduled time. Junior Play News The scenery for the play has been completed, Nancy Tressel, scenery chairman, announced yesterday. Estimates by all the chairman as to their proposed expenditures should be turned in to Miss Bartley by Fri- day. Bedroom slippers have no obligation to look practical enough to persuade a coed to part with a cherished shoe coupon, so they can afford to be saucy. The flip exteriors hides lot of workmanship and durability, but they flout only the spirit-lifting sassy side of their natures, and manufacturers recently came out with the sauciest yet. Latest among slippers which en- courage the elfin streak are bobby- boots, which are hand-made and come in beige, kelly, light blue and fuchsia. Lambs wool lines the leath- er soles, and the slippers cover the ankle. Cross over scuffs, a coed favorite, come in pastel shades of blue, yellow, purple, coral, green and cochineal. Multi-colored candy striped scuffs answer to the name of "Paree," and are more practical than the pastels. Unnamed, but quite Harem-ish, are squared-off scuffs, made of rayon jersey printed with flowers. The coed who likes an Oriental flavor will snatch these up in a hurry.
