Jan. 31 at 2 pm in the Church of the Immaculate Conception rectory. The double ring service was performed by Rev. Francis Butler. The bride wore an aqua dress with brown hat and accessories and a corsage of gardenias.

She was attended by Miss Theresa Leary of 48 Woodbury avenue who was attired in navy and white. John Taglienti head venture an opinion. It is averred that competent design and tailoring can even make slacks attrac- tive. The probabilities are that wo- men, sensibly, will wear the kind ol i clothes best suited to their tasks. This should be their privilege.

Yet it is not likely that slacks will entirely replace skirts. Good taste is partly a matter of custom. Moreover, the feminine instinct for adornment, exemplified on occasion in swishing taffeta, doep not easily become a casualty of war.

The purpose of such a council is to provide Army and Navy hospitals with articles that would bring cheer and comfort to the men In the armed forces and which are not supplied by the government. Local Head Issues Welcome Andrew Jarvis, chairman of the Portsmouth chapter, welcomed the group and said he was honored that Portsmouth has been chosen as the birthplace of the council in this area and offered the services of the chapter.

In discussing the matter, representatives from the Medical corps units of the army and navy were called upon to tell how such an organization could be of benefit in their respective hospitals, and they were unanimous in their statements that such a council would be invaluable. The USO work is done outside the camps and the council's efforts are inside the camps themselves. Mrs. Mary E. Warner, executive secretary of the Portsmouth chapter, declared that many requests were received by the local chapter for such articles as bed lamps, ci- garet trays, tennis sets and games.

She said she felt that there is a a council. The need for an organization to do this kind of work in the camps was seen within a few months after the training camps were established all over the country. Red Cross officials explained, as it became apparent that the Red Cross program would necessarily expand. Many of these camps were built near small chapters and these groups found themselves overwhelmed with demands. Red Cross officials took the matter under advisement and in many of the camps such councils have been established.

Red Cross chapters in the areas adjacent to the camps sponsor the council. ted at the parley included York mas Mrs. Norman L.

Headquarters Invests $250.

Representatives were asked to return to their chapters, talk the situation over with their boards and determine how much each chapter would be willing to take from chapter funds to purchase these articles as the requests arrive. National officials announced that headquarters will start the fund with a grant of $250. Attending the meeting were home service chairmen, executive secretaries, state, regional and national leaders, army and navy officials, including Mary Sproul, general field representative of Southern Maine; Ruth Kenodle. genera! field representative of New Hampshire; Mrs. Burton Munroe.

The propriety of this garb has become an issue in certain American communities. Challenged to get 200 signatures favoring permission to wear slacks to classes, girls of Flushing, New York, High school came back with 500. Many young ladies, training as air-raid or in other defense activities which involve a bit of climbing around, have come to the conclusion that slacks are more practical than skirts.
