chief executive "seriously and
honestly- wanted it passed, and
( that its provision for a commis

proper arrangement since tax ad

that states having .one-man ad

ONtheHOMEFRONT
By ISABEL CHTLPS
Reading a name, seeing a face
or hearing a Voice sometimes
sends a strange, warm feeling
over me, a "feeling" that I have
known that person elsewhere.
V
Now, I know this experience is
not reserved ' for me, and that it
often proves an hallucination. But
when it has been for 10 years
your business to meet and remem
ber men in pulpit and-prison, i&
slum and society, there are many
chances that you do know Jhe
person behind the name in the
news.
So, the name, Lt. Mae Olson,
first American girl to land on
Guadalcanal since December 7,
1941, struck me as familiar. The
Mae Olson (or was that her
name?) who lived in the apart
ment below ours was from some
where up the Mississippi, but she
had been interested in leaving the
hospital for the airline three years
ago when I knew, heri
Now, her picture, loo, fat fami
liar. , The same 'round,- laughing
face, ; apparently framed by short.
blond hair, that I recall above
swish date frocks, gay sports togs
and the white nurse's uniform,
rises above the leather jacket
V '
Whether she be the same girl
or not, she calls to mind the
"older Olson sister," who painted
her apartment in an old brick
front residence near the Min
nesota campus in bright Swedish
colors and designs.
"AH Olson" she claimed to be,
and more than likely her father's
name was Ole.
Such parties she gave! Other
young nurses- and doctors from
University hospital were the
guests, with occasionally the YW
secretary from next door and the
tall "professor" and his sister from
upstairs added to the list.
There was music and laughter
and" the largest variety of con
versation I have ever met. rang
ing from the economics of social
medicine to the city's swankest
sailing club. And there was food!
Never leave out the latter when
thinking of a popular Swedish
nurse s entertaining.
Relaxation for the "older Or
son" was baking. And the delica
cies; contrived largely in her own
inconvenient, albeit gaily-colored
kitchen were better than the fa
mous smorgasboard provided Sun
day nights at a St. Paul hotel.
V
From all the -Olsons in Minne
sota, it would be strange, indeed,
if the girl on Guadalcanal were
our i "older Olson," but, if she is,
the lads in the hospital where she
works should be. delighted with
the j round-faced girl who, after
long hours of labor, still wants
to bake and laugh and sing.
