THE RED AND BLACK, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1942.
Twenty Club Presents
Lieutenant Tonis In Talk
At The University Chapel
Student Body and
General Public
Invited to Program
“The best dressed woman today
is the woman in uniform,” says
Third Officer Charlotte Tonis, of
the Woman's Army Auxiliary Corps,
who will speak at the University
Chapel Tuesday evening to tell why
the WAACs were formed and what
their duties are. The student body
as well as the public is invited to
hear Lieutenant Tonis November 10,
at 8:30. Miss Tonis’ speach in the
Chapel is sponsored by the Twenty
Club of which Miss Kitty Mercke
is chairman of the committee for
defense.
Lieutenant Tonis gave up her ca
reer as fashion expert and style
show commentator to serve her
country by joining the army. As
traveling representative for McCall.
Inc., she staged fashion shows from
coast to coast. She formerly spent
“postman's holidays" traveling in
Europe, Mexico, Canada, and Lab
rador.
Like thousands of women who
grimly studied the headlines, Lieu
tenant Tonis wished for some way
she could actively participate in war
effort. The WAACs was the answer
to that wiBh. She was among the
first to volunteer, going in from Bos
ton, which is near her home town,
Brockton, Massachusetts.
After a speech before the Klwanis
Club at lunch time, Lieutenant
Lutlicr Watson, left, and Hilly
Dixon inaugurate National Hitch-
Hikers Club.
Tonis will make a radio broadcast
over station WGAU. Following this,
she will be at an office in the Post
Office Building all afternoon for in
terviews with WAAC applicants.
Appointment Given
Library To Buy
German Periodicals
By Fay Watkins
“One hundred and fifty thousand
dollars appropriated by the State
Department of the United States to
the American Library Association,
is being invested in German periodi
cals." Dr. Ralph Parker, Library Di
rector of the University of Georgia,
said in an interview today.
When war was declared on Rus
sia. the foreign circulation of sci
entific journals published in Ger
many and Axis-controlled countries
ceased. These magazines formerly
came to the United States through
Siberia.
Since such magazines will be in
valuable to the preservation of
scholastic institutions after the war,
the American Library Association
decided to keep up their subscrip
tions through a Swiss agency.
All universities and colleges sub
mitted a list of the magazines to
which they wished to subscribe.
These lists were formulated by the
American Library Association and
unimportant magazines were drop
ped. The only periodical eliminated
from the University of Georgia list
was dropped because it is on the
Georgia Tech list; the choices of
schools in the same locality were
not allowed to overlap.
Through the American agency,
G. E. Stechert & Co., authority to
buy the selected magazines was
given to a Swiss agency. Subscrip
tions had to be paid in advance be
cause the German government al
lows the publication of only the
Pag* Three
number of magazines that have been
paid for.
As these magazines are published,
they are stored by the Swiss agency
in a Stechert warehouse in Liepsig,
a large publishing center in southern
Germany. Since Leipslg is an un
important city except for publish
ing, it was considered the safest
place to keep the periodicals.
Although most publications in
France, Spain, and the smaller
countries have been discontinued,
there will be no gap in the Ameri
can files of important scientific mag
azines if the above arrangements
are successful.

You can help save
29,000 hours a day
O NE second saved in each of the 106 million telephone

29,000 hours—would help greatly to keep lines open for
vital military and war production calls.
A single second is that important. So answer promptly,
giving your location and name, and keep your conver
sation brief. W hen making a call, be sure you have the
right number —use the directory—call Information only
when it’s really necessary. And please don’t use I.ong
Distance to defense areas unless your call is urgent.
The Bell System has a big job to do. By saving seconds
you may make room for a vital war-time call.
