'servicemen. v : i By BERT BRANDT LONDON,.; (NEA) British brides of American servicemen will, be hep to whal's what in America, when they arrive in their'new home land. They're learning" to tulk American, cal culate in dollars and cents und contend with the "strange" cus toms of its citizenry. These lessons in life in Amer ica began quite by accident on Christmas Day of 1M3 when the Red Cross Invited a group of American soldiers and their Eng lish wives to a tea party. The Red Cross workers, the ' first American women many of the British girls had met, were back ed' into a corner and bombarded Vv'ith questions about "What is tjioi climate like in Kansas?", "Db American girls wear much inake-upV" und "Is everyone in the Stales really cooking with gas?" ; Omit Tinsel ' There wasn't time at the tea to answer all the questions, so the Red Cross started a "school for GI brides" on the third floor of London's famed Rainbow Corner club. Here hundreds of the esti mated 24,000 British brides of Yanks meet the first Sunday eve ning of each month to learn about life in America, minus the tinsel and trimmings that Holly wood gives it. .

These fo rums lead some of the wives to suspect that their GI husbands have not been exactly factual in describing their station in life and their civilian incomes. When the brides register, they list tne state in which they will live after the war. The Red Cross then keeps them notified on things that will interest them, and acquaints them with other girls who will be living in that section of the country.

Their next inter est is culinary, with most of their questions centering around pie, southern fried chicken, and the secret of making good American coffee. . -To help them remember these lips, they're given booklets of "Favorite American Recipes," and "A Bride's Guide to the U. S. A.," which explains American customs and. translates such Brit ish expressions as cabranK, char, chips and geyser into their Amer ican equivalents of taxi stand, maid, French fried potatoes and water heater.

Vacation Reading Is Suggested By Librarian Here Reading is suggested by Miss Mabel Doty, public librarian, as a pleasant pastime when on a va cation, and she calls attention to the fact that one may select a large number of books to provide amply for reading on a camping trip. "Our summer landscapes may not change as they have in the years past," she said, "because with travel curtailed we may not get farther away than the lake, a near mountain or even our own back yard. "Reading will help Us enjoy our own fin-side more and books will transport us to places be yond our own horizon and to ideas that may be new. Books both practical and thoughtful, cook books, garden books, books on home repair, as well as inter esting new volumes of biography, poetry, and philosophy will make life twice as fruitful. "There are the so-called 'es cape' books too, detectives, wom en in-love, and stories of adven ture to take you far away from this warring, rationed world. "Our best recommendation for one book to be read at the lake or elsewhere is 'Anna and the King of Siam' by Margaret Lon don; It was vacation time at Wallowa lake last summer. It was pouring outside but who cared. There was a fire in the fireplace and everyone was ab sorbed in a book. And one of the readers was far away in unfamil iar, exotic Siam with the English governess Anna Leonowens." LAST RITES ARE SET Funeral services will be con ducted at 3:30 p. m. tomorrow in the Snodgrass chapel for John D. ttcidrnreich, uho died Tues day at his nom, ,1508 N avenue, at the age of 15 years. Rev. R. Tomeraesen will officiate. The body will be sent to Portland for cremation. HYPHACID DISTRESS You asutt get last, effective relief with TEBblN from miserable discomfort, or your money back.
