One minute talks on happiness
featured last night’s meeting of
Beta Sigma Phi, with each mem-

terpretation of the subject, in the
home of Mrs. L. 1.. Wiles, jr.
The program topic, “Happiness
in One s Vocation, ' was handled
by Valda Cypher, who illustrat-
ed the steps of a newspaper story
from the time it is taken over the
telephone until it goes to "press.”
Plans for the October social
were outlined, with definite ar-
rangements to be made later.
Following the business session
the usual hour was passed sew-
ing and knitting for the Red Cross
war production.
At the meeting were Mrs.

MASCULINE VS.
FEMININE "LOGIC”
Maybe there’s logic to their
reasoning. At least the men com-
menting on the proposed move to
relieve soldiers of "domestic” du-
ties all seem to think so.
But it is purely masculine log-
ic. How many mothers of famil-
ies use the same logic to argue
that the job of motherhood 'which
certainly is as important as the
job ol soldiering! is too important
for the mother to be wasting her
time on doing housework and cat-
ering to the physical comfort of
a growing man? Not many.
Women still aren't "logical"
enough to reason that they can’t
afford to do any job that doesn’t
seem worthy of their ability and
talents.

THE IIC SURPRISE ENTERTAINMENT Of THE TEAM
MM COMES
MR. JORDAN
• We, The Women
Maybe the men who want to
relieve the soldier of such do- !
mestic duties as peeling pota- i
toes and cleaning up around an
army camp are right in their ar-
gument that there are more im-
portant ways for the soldier to
spend his time.
But just the same, we women
can’t help but be amused by this I
masculine desire to get rid of :
the "housework" side of soldier-
ing. It is just what men have j
been doing for generations
Men didn’t care about the job
of cooking, keeping the places
where they lived clean, and in
general livable. So they told
their mates that attending to all i
those duties is "woman's work'’
even though some housekeeping
tasks are actually back-breaking.
Then when big business came
into being, the men decided they |
didn't want to fool with the job
of office housekeeping — filing,
answering the telephone, typing
letters, and getting rid of unwel-
come visitors — so they created
another type of "wife” to do the
dirty work, and called her a sten-
ographer.
Now they have reached the ,
point where they are maneuver-
ing to get hired help into army-
camps to do their housekeeping
for them They have found it is
no more fun to do the household
chores around an army camp than

answers below:
1. Has anyone the right to
demand a celebrity’s autograph?
2. If you ask for and get the
autograph of a famous person
should you thank him gracious-
ly?
3. Should the celebrity who
dodges autograph hunters be crit-
icized for doing so?
4. Is it presumptuous to write
famous persons telling them all
about one's own troubles and ask
ing for advice?
What would you do if—
You are chairman of the club
committee that brings a celebrity

Singing Convention
In Moore County
The Plateau Singing convention
■f Moore county will meet next
Sunday, Oct. 26, in the Baptist
church, in Sunray.
Singing will begin promptly at
1 o’clock. All singers and direc-
tors of Borger and vicinity are
cordially invited to meet.
Tops in the thulls promised
by Russell Bn\s ' Greater Amer-
ican Circus, will be provided by
a group of intrepid aerial per-
formers who defy the laws of
gravity in daring exploits high in
the d< me of the big top.
Grace, rhythm and perfect tim-
ing are exemplified in the breath-
taking somersaults and pirouettes
through space performed by the
Flying Clarkonians
Occupying top billing among
the solo stars is a tiny slip of a
girl using the altogether appro-
priate professional name of Miss
Aerialetta.
Miss Aeriletta leaves her spec-
tators literally open-mouthed with
astonishment when she climaxes
her reckless feats with a sensa-
tional standing ankle drop and
somersault plunge into mid-air.
Furthermore she does it all with-
out the protection ol a safety
net, and with a display of dainty
feminine grace that is captivat-
ing.
These features are among
scores of innovations m the all-
new program offered by Russell
Bros, this year, combining the
cream of aerial, acrobatic and
arena- talent with amazing trained
animal exhibitions. Not least
among the attractions is Eddie
Woeckener's unusual band Doors
open at 1 and 7 p. m , the band
starts playing at 1:30 and 7:30,
