! our club. I
We use the words pull in advi
sedly. Two strong tides pull at
the world today. One is trying to
i suck backward toward the old
grim past, the other is trying to
push us forward to a new hopeful
future.
Today no man, no woman, no
organization can stand still. To
j stand still is to step back.
We the Quack members want
our movement to keep moving.
Moving up there in the front ranks
of leadership, moving to reinforce
our gallant to too thinly spread
forces, our community civic cen
ter. moving to unite and erect our
influences in a forum of citizen
thoughts and actions, moving to
release the atomic energy of our
Christian purpose and to put it to
work to help heal a wounded
world. Who me? Yes, you. Very
well. So I’ll be moying today, now
straight to my own YWCA Club
with my gift, a special gift, no
matter how large or how small,

I pose of the Quack Club. Who, you ?

it does if you own a smart ever

raincoat, of all things, captures the

to make it water resistant.
Just such a coat is this Fashion
Frock of the Week. A string belt
artfully cinches in the waist as it
covers patches of shirring above

broad shoulders are masterfully cut
to fit comfortably over suits.

THE HAT MAKES
THE WOMAN
It has been said that clothes
make a man and it is just as true
that the hat makes the woman.
It is the contour of the face, the
color of the eyes and hair that
are to be satisfied when you be
gin building a wardrobe. There
are hats for all occasions. There
are hats of all sorts of creations,
sizes and colors.
Smart women become tired of
seeing their hats and bags on
everybodys else's head and arm.
Smart women like to be individu
ally attractive. It is unique to be
able to wear creations all your
own.
Why not be smart and get smart
and learn to make your own hats.

Home Ways To Build Up Red Blood 1
Tou girls who suffer from simple
anemia or who lose so much during
monthly periods that you are pale, feel

be due to low blood-iron—
So start today—try Lydia E. Pink

build up red blood to give more
strength and energy—in such cases.
Pinkham’s Tablets help build up the

Just try Pinkham’s Tablets for 30

If there are 60 million jobs
* , # „~1
Leading figures in public life have predicted gain
ful employment for 60 million persons in the years
just ahead. Right or wrong, such forecasts must'be
judiciously weighed by your telephone company.
More jobs mean more businesses, new industries,
'iew communities. All have a direct bearing on the
i amount of telephone service that will be needed. |
j Because building telephone "plant" is rather ,
slow, painstaking, costly work, we have always
tried to anticipate service demands and to build j
well in advance of need. The war prevented us from
carrying out this policy for a time . . . and we arc
now busy catching up. To meet accumulated serv
; ice needs of 3Vi years and to plan soundly for the
future, we have embarked on a building program
that will cost, in the next few years, 100 million
dollars in the five states we serve.
I Your telephone company has no such sum. Ic
must come ... as it always has . . . from investors
attracted by earnings and safety comparable to
other investment opportunities.
