Smith of her engagement to Flavius Mount. The wedding is Lady of Perpetual Help Wheat PLEASURE MAY RECREATION -OR IT MAY BE WRECKREATION. June, the month of leaves and roses, of sadness and delight, of graduations and weddings, is almost past. It is truly a month of endings and beginnings. Vacation time is here, and with it should come the opportunity to have some moments of quietness and calm, away from the usual busy schedule of a normal year.

Won't you spend a few moments contemplating the truth in the recipe I'm giving you? GOOD RECIPE Life is like a plum cake. In some, the plums are all at the top, and we eat them gaily till we suddenly find they are gone. In others, the plums sink to the bottom, and we look for them in vain as we go on and often come to them when it is too late to enjoy them. But in the cake the plums are wisely scattered ail through, and every mouthful is a pleasure. We make our own cakes- in a great measure, therelore let us look to it that they are well-made, mixed according to the best recipes, ked in a well regulated oven 1d gratefuily eaten with a operate appetite.

Sunshine Magazine Summertime is also a time for creasing friendships or ruining them. Many an unwary couple owners of a cottage at 1, 1e beach, has been deprived of much needed relaxation by a ronde of well meaning but thoughtless "friends?" arriving unannounced expecting to spend several days of enjoyment of the sun and ocean, cooked for and wailed upon, and cleaned up after by a harassed and reluctant hostess, too weary and too polite to object. To impose upon a friendship proves the friendship is not "real" for true friends are kind and considerate of each other. Such conduct is not only presumptuous, but thoughtless, rude, and discourteous. Should not real friends realize that had their company been desired for in- a number of days, a definite vitation would have been ex- Girls Want To Serve Their Country, Too America's young women under 20 put in many hours of work on humanitarian projects, but the majority would prefer to participate for year in a large-scale, nationwide service male, war' resisters, scholars, male, warresisters, scholars, dropouts.

nationwide poll of girls between taken by a magazine reveals" that a little ine more than two- thirds are willing to serve the country on a voluntary basis. George Romney, Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, commenting in the pubiication's July Issue, says: "Re. sults of the survey prove to me that our young people need a constrictive outlet for their Young people know the value of participation. We are resolved to open new avenues for their talents, enthusiasms and idealism in building a better America." Those young women who are already working in such relatively small agencies as Peace Corps, Vista, Job Corps and Head Start prove ow much girls can accomplish, the magazine article by Roul Tunley points out. New York City's Urban Corps started with college students doing summer tasks which ranged from holding block parties to assisting drug vietims.

The idea proved such a winner that the Corps soon grew to 4,0000 students, and is being adopted by 10 other cities. One Urban Corps girl who worked at the Women's House of Detention contacting classes szeading, writing and poetry with drug addicts, prostitutes and slum graduates was so effective that plans now include an expanded program The coast-to-coast survey also shows that young women whelmingly favor national service for men, as an alternate to the draft, and involving most of those turned down for intellectu al, psychiatric or physical reasons. In fact, while a desire to help solve society's problems is a major factor, most young people admit that their most compelling reason for endorsing the service proposal is, strong dissatisfaction with the way the military draft works. Many of the girls queried felt it was unfair to ask only men to make sacrifices for the welfare of the country. frequent observation "I don't believe in the draft, but if it's required for men, it should be required for women too." Anthropologist Margaret Mead is among those in favor of mandatory service for all.

"Only by making it compulsory can we assure the rewards and opporour tunities," most able-bodied and she believes. "Now ate young men are asked to give military service while no service whatsoever is asked of their contemporaries who are inteligible or who escape the draft." The plan 1 which probably has most adherents, however, says the article, is a semi-vountary one in which all men would register for the draft at 18. Then they would have three options: (1) going into the military, (2) joining a national service program, or (3) doing nothing. If the armed forces needed men at the time they would be selected from the third group by lottery. Those desiring national service would enter the program of their choice and, if necessary, be given training.

After serving a specified time (longer than one would serve in the military), they would be put on the bottom of the draft Polls and be called up only in a time of national emergency. National service would be available to all young women on a voluntary basis. ANSWER TO TODAY'S PUZZLE MOTH LOWER OCALIA CRAB EBRO OF ONE PIPER HALO SOnL GOLDENHORDE ANAS!
