WOMAN OF THE WEEK: Since
the bill providing for a women’s na
val auxiliary was first introduced in
congress, there has apparently been
little doubt that Mildred McAfee,
the 42-year-old president of Wesles
ley College, would be chosen as its
head. Born in Parkville, Mo., she
was graduated from Vassar in 1920.
then she has worked with
girls and women as a teacher, ad
ministrator, dean of women and di
rector of girls’ work for a Chicago
church. She is known as a capable
administrator, although her youthful
appearance and vivid personality are
deceptive. Like the director of the
WAAC, she can accomplish a great
deal without obvious effort and with
out the desperately efficient manner
sometimes found in women who are
“doing things.”

BRITAIN AT WAR: In Canada
the province of Quebec is going “all
out” for tank production, with 500
women already at work as welders.
The Union of South Africa has is,
sued a new one-penny stamp carry
ing the picture of a war nurse . . .
A dispatch from England reveals that
British women are almost 100 per
cent mobilized, with about half of
them doing full time war production
Work.

HEADS “WAR BRIDES”: Mrs.
Evelyn Richmand Kashuk, whose
husband is a corporal in the army,
was recently named president of
“War Brides of America,” an organ
ization of women who have become
brides since September, 1940.
* * ♦
SIGNS OF THE TIMES: Women
are working as student conductors on
San Francisco’s Market Street Rail
way cars . . . The WPB, taking the
dilemma of conservation firmly by
the horns, has prohibited the sale by
all retail stores of officers’ insignia
for use as costume jewelry and has
ordered that service men may no
longer give such insignia to their
“girl friends.”
* * *
SUNNY SIDE UP: That the OPA
does not wish to discourage buying
of items not on the priority list is
indicated by the reported increase in
business in what are called the “lux
ury trades.” Furs, fine jewelry,
china and furniture are going to be
higher. But don’t be alarmed. We
haven’t suddenly gone money mad.
What actually is happening is that
manufacturers of luxury items are
‘trading down.’ Jewelers report sales
of 100,000 diamond rings a month
since Pearl Harbor, but most of
these sold for less than SSO. And
economical furs, like muskrat, wolf,
beaver and opossum account for the
bulk of the fur sales.
