Academy Award
Film Brought
Here by League
The film, "Thursday's Child
Ten ' will be shown Thursday,
May 17, at Hedrick High school
t 8 p.m. under the sponsorship
of Medford Junior Service
league. The film will be part of
xne annual board of directors
meeting of the service league's
kindergarten for deaf children.
"Thursday's Children" was
given the highest possible recom
mendation by Cecile Starr, who
reviews movies for the Saturday
Review, and won the Academy
award in the short documentary
class. The reviewer termed the
film "truly beautiful" and said
"it makes the viewer want to
stand up and cheer."
Film critic Archer Winsten of
the New York Post wrote that
it is "possibly the most humanly
gripping film experience since
Huston's "Let There be Light."
Dealing with the education of
deaf children, the film shows
matter - of-f act material about
how the children are taught, but
reviewers have stressed that
Walter Lassaly's camera work is
'sheer magic."
Guy Brenton and Lindsay An
derson, two young Englishmen,
made the film "to please them
selves," it is stated. Commentary
is by Richard Burton and music
by Geoffrey Wright.
"I can recommend this film
without qualification to every
one in the world" wrote Cecile
Starr.
Anyone interested is invited by
the league to attend the meeting
nd see the film which runs 22
minutes.

Today's Parents Better
At Getting Kids to Bed
Chicago (U.R) Parents today
do a better job of getting the
kids to bed at night than they
did in grandpa's day.
At least this is the conclusion
of the Englander Sleep Founda
tion, which found that today's
parents generally adopt a few
common-sense rules and stick
by them.
Parents of yesteryear leaned
heavily on the scare technique,
the foundation said. There were
plenty of bedtime stories with
endings such as "and the goblins
will get you if you don't watch
out."
Authorities now agree that
bedtime should be an opportu
nity to establish "parent-child
support."
The foundation said that child
guidance experts generally feel
it's a good idea to give the chil
dren some warning that bedtime
is approaching.
Roughhouse play near bed
time should be ruled out as too
stimulating.
The bedtime addict should be
made to .stick without rushing
the small fry through their routine.

Oregon Blue Lake
Beans Good Eating
New York (U.R) Green
beans, top eating even when
simply cooked, also can take to
fancy dress.
. This suggestion comes from
packers for the Blue Lake varie
ty the stringless bean grown
primarily in Oregon and Wash
ington and developed especially
for canning.
You will need one can of the
Blue Lakes, 2 tablespoons of
melted butter or margarine, 1
hard cooked egg, 1 small can of
pimentos, salt and pepper. Drain
liquid from the beans into a
saucepan and boil, uncovered,
for about 8 minutes to reduce
the amount.. Add the beans, cov
er and simmer until heated
through. Turn the beans into a
serving dish, sieve the egg yolk
and put in the center of the
dish. Cut the white into fine
pieces, slice the pimentos into
strips and use both as garnish.

By WILLIAM WARTOFSJCY
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Th
Women's Army Corps created
to ease a critical . manpower
shortage in World War II cele
brates its 14th birthday this
month.
It was in May, 1942, when
congress passed legislation to
establish a feminine auxiliary so
that more men would be avail
able for the fighting front.
Within a few months, "Wacs"
were assigned to almost every
non-combatant job and were sent
to every theater of operation.
The first to serve overseas land
ed in Algiers in 1943 and later
in New Caledonia in the Pacific.
The other services were quick
to pick up the cue by forming
their own women auxiliaries.
Later, the Wacs were made a
regular part of the Army and
dropped the word . "auxiliary."
But, it was a long time before
the nation accepted the Wacs.
Fighting gossip by disgruntled
Americans who didn't like to see
women in uniform, the Wacs
proved their worth before the
war's end.
Twenty-four were present at
the Potsdam Conference and
more than 400 worked on the
atomic bomb project. In the field
of intelligence, it was a Wac who
spotted the enemy's camouflaged
V-2 rocket base on an aerial
map.
American women first pitched
in to help the military during
the Civil War. They served un
officially as relief workers and
had their own uniforms.
The first official feminine out
fit was the Army Nurse Corps.
It was organized in 1901 after
considerable doubt that women
were able to do the work.
During World War I, General
Pershing asked for 100 French-
speaking women to serve as tele
phone operators. ' They were
classed ' as civilian employees
even though they were uniform
ed. Later, more than 5,000 wom
en . were sent overseas to work
with the Quartermaster and
Medical Corps.
At -the same time, the Army
War College made a study of
how women might be used by
the armed services." But an urg
ent need- for them did not arise
until World War II.
The Korean War had 7,000
Wacs on active duty, compared
with their peak strength of 100,
000 during World War II. Their
present force is about- 9,000.
In 1948, Congress passed the
"Women's Armed Services Inte
gration Act.". . This made the
women's branches of all the
services a permanent part of our
military forces.
To stress this permanence, a
"West Point of the Wacs" was
recently dedicated at Ft. Mc-
Clellan, Ala. This $7 million of
ficer school also is Wac head
quarters. .-
Scientist Studies
Children Reared .
With Other Youth
East Lansing, Mich. (U.R)
Children reared in their own age
group, apart from their parents,
can be unselfish and have a high
ly developed knack for team
work and few neuroses.
This is generally true among
children reared outside the fam
ily in the Kibbutzim (collective
settlements) in Israel, according
to Dr. Albert I. Rabin, a Michi
gan State University phycholo
gist. .He recently made a full
scale study of the Kibbutz young
people during a sabbatical leave
in Israel. . '
Nurses and teachers take the
children at birth and begin rais
ing them apart from their par
ents, the only contact the child
ren have with their parents is
for. two or three hours during
the evening because the parents
work for the community during
the day.
Dr. Rabin reached these gen
eral conclusions after the study:
such children have a knack for
teamwork and an unselfish high
level of devotion to the group. '
He found though that the ,
children are retarded in their
speech development, apparently;
because they associate mainly
with- children their own age.
Children in the Kibbutzim are
more serious and don't laugh as
much as children reared in the
home, Dr Rabin said.
Discipline is in the hands of
the nurses and teachers, not the
parents.
"The children consider their
parents as pals and have a
friendly, attitude toward them,
without fear," the psychologist
explained. "There is little oppor
tunity for neuroses to be handed
from parents to children.".
Decorating Authority
Gives Tips on China
New York (U.R) One decor
ating authority says that rules of
fashion apply to purchase of
china as well as to clothes.
Jewel Gould, a . china . and
table-setting expert with one
New York firm said china also
should be picked with an eye to
the latest trends right now, to
the' Oriental influence. It should
be ' coordinated with its sur
roundings, harmonize with drap
eries and home decor generally.
Another - china - buying tip:
Hold your hands behind a plate.
You should be able to see the
hands' shadow through good
china. : Then tap the rim of a
piece with a pencil. It should
give off a clear ring.
