Many Personal At Airwomen's Though an orderly tie tneu prevails throughout the Princess Alice barrack of the R.C.A.F. (WJ3.) at 192 Argyle avenue, a visit there yesterday afternoon revealed the enlisted girls are not deprived of many of the personal comforts they enjoyed at home. The occasion was the first "at home" for the W.D. officers In Ottawa, the barracks having opened for the accommodation at 60 airwomen in February last. Pictures of their families and of their boy friends are in their rooms, many of which were bright with flowers.

To' make life happier the girls confessed they would like some generous friend to donate a radio and a gramophone, and a piano would find a welcome home there. A few more books would make the small library more valuable.

Others were resting in their roms, and still Others writing letters. There are seven bathrooms in the house, with real baths, not showers, it was pointed out by the officers.

WASHINGTON, Friday I at tended the British War Relief luncheon yesterday and. saw a number of people by appointment in the afternoon.

One of the things brought to my attention recently is the effort which is being made to spread the observance of "Shut-In on the first Sunday in June. This year it will fall on June 16. Canada, I think, first sponsored this day and it has already spread to a number Of states and com munities in our country. Many organizations business, religious, civic and recreational have cooperated to make it a day when handicapped people who can not leave their homes will feel them selves specially remembered in their communities. 'Almost everyone knows someone who can not leave his room, or his bed, or his chair.

These people rarely want sym pathy. They strive in every way they know how to be of use in the world, to earn their own way if possible. Many of them have developed, because of their handicap, some very Interesting ways of being of service to others. Nevertheless few of them would deny, I think, that little atten tions which show that other people have thought of them, mean a great deal. Perhaps, this year, this day will have a particularly poignant significance for a great many people, for every day this war goes on, we are adding to our casualty lists, and some ot these boys may be shut-ins in the future.

They will want visitors, they will want suggesuons, perhaps help in get ting started in some new kind of work which is fitted to their particular capacity. I have been thinking a good good deal about these young men who are beginning to come Into our military hospitals in consid erable numbers. In spite of the fact that many of them will be able to continue to perform limited service in the armed forces, I have been wondering whether the Congress and the executive departments involved, might not make a survey to determine what would be the most helpful to these men in making them use ful in the future. Many of them must have inter rupted their education, and If they continued it at once, it might lead Into professions or occu pations which they could carry through quite well In spite of their handicaps. I wonder if this isn something VJWtCC KUW liyiiuEHEo mmu FO that needs to be done now instead of waiting until the war is over.

Congress is the only body which, of course, can decide what is the right attitude on the part of the Government in this situa tion. I am quite sure that they are already 1 giving it much thought but sometimes we think so long we do not act and I think action should be taken fair ly quickly In the' present situa tion.
