ilt were restless and movie mad, now' stay at home and their elders find a stimulating change of pace in the fun and exercise which these vari-out activities bring. A little planned home activity can make all the difference in the world in the companionship the family enjoys. This companionship was always important but now, with cars and gasoline so restricted, it is a downright essential. We must find most of our amusement and recreation in our own houses and yards. Of course, summer time, when children have more leisure and grownups should slacken their pace a bit, is the perfect moment for inaugurating some new interests.

Their effect will be reflected in the spiritual atmosphere of the home. Fretfulness which was bred of boredom will drop off, laughter will take the place of whining, and nervous tension and its associate, irritability, will disappear as one gets more outdoor life, interesting activities, sun baths, and health improves.

End of Shortage Of Meat in Sight WASHINGTON, July 31 (UP) The end of the meat shortage is in sight, but the Agriculture Department isn't promising Americans all the rib roasts and porterhouse steaks they would like. In fact, there is no assurance that a "run" on certain types of most popular meats which have been hard to get for weeks may not result in temporary local shortages from time to time.

The Bureau of Agriculture Economics confirmed earlier predictions that heavier marketing of cattle and hogs would relieve the spring and summer meat shortage by early fall. Small marketings rather than reduced production have been blamed for meat counter shortage. "With livestock numbers and production at their present record level and beginning to outrun total feed resources, expanding markets in the near future appear fairly certain," the bureau said. Loss Is Half Million In Storm in Indiana CHARLESTOWN. July 31 (UP) Property damage was estimated at between a half million to one million dollars following a tornado that twisted through Charles-town Thursday night, injuring at least 25 persons.

State police said reports listing three persons as dead were erroneous. None of the 25 injured was critical, according to hospital authorities. The 750-unit Federal housing project bore the brunt of the tornado, which tore a swath 500 feet wide through the settlement, destroying more than 100 houses, in-clvding the $90,000 administration building. Most of the new homes were unoccupied. 'Gag' on AAA Officials Is Modified by Jones WASHINGTON, July 31 (UP) War Food Administrator Marvin Jones yesterday modified previous "gag" orders placed on information activities of 200,000 Agricultural Adjustment Administration employes.

Mr. Jones issued a new regulation prohibiting employment of information agents in state, regional and county AAA offices but permitting regular employes to supply information to the press and radio, and to make speeches before farm groups. Previous instructions, Mr. Jones said, have caused "some confusion in the field." Issued last week, those instructions were based on WFA interpretation of a prohibition in the Agricultural Appropriations Act against payment of Federal money for dissemination of information by the AAA in the field.

We, Tfce Women- Family War Unpatriotic Uniformed Women Mustn't Heckle Their Men By RUTH MILLETT Lieutenant's bars recently got one WAC in bad with the Army. Trouble was, she didn't have any right to the bars. In ex plaining why she bought and wore them she said ill I the idea was to show her hus band, who joined the Army at the same time she I -f did, that she would be pro- moiea nrst. Not many women would go to that length to prove to their Ruth Millett husbands they are the better soldiers but with out doing anything to get her in wrong with the Army a WAC wife could easily have trouble with her husband if she started out to see if she couldn't beat him at getting promotions.

Today many women are saying, "When my husband goes into the Army, I think I'll try to get in the service myself." If they mean what they say they should studiously avoid letting their husbands think they are going to compete with them in their military careers. A man won't mind his wife's promotions (in fact, he will probably be proud of them) if his wife doesn't brag about them or even kiddingly make cracks about being the "best soldier in the family." The average man takes great pride in his uniform and in the fact that he is serving his country in war time. He wants his wife to be proud of him, too, and to realize that he is fighting for her. His pride in what he does in the service is bound to receive a blow if his wife tries to outshine him. But if she says, "You are fighting for vour country and I am going into service so that I can relieve another man to fight" there won't be any element of competition be tween husband and wiie.

The attitudes of a parent may be of frank dislike for some food, or they may be such subtleties as a curled lip or an Indifferent shrug when mealtimes or foods are mentioned. In either case, the child takes his offer original ideas in Christmas decorations at a December meeting. How to "pep up" your table with little expense during wartime rationing are interesting features on a late winter program.

However, many mamas and papas have been delinquent so far as a truly satisfying and successful home life is concerned. In the struggle to "Keep Up With the Joneses" and the mad social whirl, precious experiences have sometimes been lost.

War now has provided mama and papa with an excuse for staying at home and liking it, that is, if they needed an excuse!

Adult Cues Certain Food War and Rationing MEYER ELD RED a child's own appetite so profound as Beauties' Hints- Loolc Back Rear View of Coiffure Is Most Important MISS WILLIAMS: composed. BY ALICIA HART Final inspection of the back of the head is the last, but by no means least, step to loveliness, says radio actress Elaine Williams. "I always take a rear view of myself before going out," Elaine explains, "to make certain that I look just as neat to those behind me as to those I meet face to face." Orderliness suggests composure, so important in these times, and hair indifferently let go in back, or a dress buttoned unevenly, quickly de-stxoys the effectiveness of your whole makeup and ensemble. Make a full-length Inspection, back, and front, a grooming "must." Unbrushed skirts, peeking slips, crooked stocking seams and rundown heels are more readily detected, and remedied, thus. Alo, in taking this rear view, if you find your legs tend to bow, try shift ing the stocking seams slightly to the inside of the leg to give them straighter look.

have announced the engagement of their daughter. Miss Virginia May Coe. to Peter J. Vos, son of Mr. and I Mrs.

John Vos of Baden, Pa. 3 Flower Arrangement Towels cue from the parents. One mother who admitted she had never cared for food had a child who was a persistent feeding problem. It could hardly be otherwise. Unless a parent is made 111 by the eating of some food, she should consider it her obligation to ex press an interest in it.

Some small portion of every food, regardless of whether it is well-liked, should be accepted and eaten and no comment made unless it could be flattering one. The influences of these attitudes communicate themselves to the children. Mealtimes become enjoyable interludes in the day, what one has for dinner becomes exciting, not just food to be eaten and the whole ceremony somewhat of a bore. Men. so it has always seemed to me, suffer most from the pampering they have received from their mothers, nd display the strongest food dislikes, or become the most ardent gourmets.

Women who are imaginative cooks enjoy food and make no bones of it. But the great majority of women. fearful of their figures, get little pleasure out of food and work to curb rather than encourage their appetites. In such cases the children, see ing the indifferent eye of the mother cast at the array of food, or hearing the caustic comment from father about "that custary stuff not being fit to eat," follow the same pattern. It's ft pattern easy to adopt since food dislikes themselves may become distinguishing marks of per sonality.

The persons who can't or don't eat this or that make up an army. Since the choice of food is limited today by price, availability and. food stamps, It behooves all or us to adopt more appreciative attitudes toward the food we can have. It's true we may all be eating foods toward which we are relatively in different. It won't do us any harm to stop pampering ourselves.

We are, despite food restrictions, stul the best fed nation in the world and we should imbue our children with that idea. We can enjoy food. We can appreciate it.
