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

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.

persuuding to convince them that
there, are actually, peope ,in
America who make only $20 a
week, and that there are still
thousands of homes without tele
phones and plumbing. 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.

A demonstration of the Ameri
can way of applying make-up Is
probably the most popular part
of the course. 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

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.
