McGuire Air Force Base,
N.J. - lUPli - Mary E. York,
granddaughter of the World
War I hero Sgt. Alvin C. York,
hopes to be able to serve her
country during peacetime as
her grandfather served dur
ing the war.
"I joined the Air Force to
serve my country by helping
get troops back and forth to
foreign countries," the attrac
tive, blonde Southerner said.
She had just learned that
she would be trained as a
flight traffic specialist, the
equivalent of a civilian air
lines hostess, to serve on over
seas Military Air Transport
Service flights.
"Learning that I can serve
In that way is the biggest
thrill of my life," the quiet,
poised 18-year-old said.
Bedridden Hero
Airman York was born in
Jamestown, Tenn., near Pall
Mall where her grandfather
lives now. He made Army his
tory by killing 25 Germans,
capturing 132 others and
silencing 35 machine guns in
one day at the Argonne Forest
in France.
Now, Mary York's grand
father is bedridden.

when I was home on leave
last month," Mary said, "be
cause the publicity that has
surrounded my joining the
Air Force has -upset him i
great deal. But I did talk to
him on the phone and he told
me to be another York'."
Why did Mary join the Air
Force instead of the Army as
her grandfather did?
"I felt the Air Force has
more to offer," she said. ' I
looked the services all over
and decided the Air Force
was it. Besides, it gave me
an opportunity to fly, and i
love flying."
Surprisingly, Mary has had
very little flight experience.
"I've been up in little two
seaters and, of course, I flew
here," she said. "But I hope
to gain more experience fly
ing." She should log about
5,000 air hours before her
enlistment is completed.
She admits her sudden en
trance into the public eye has
been a little startling.
"I've enjoyed talking to all
the reporters, and all, but it
was a little tough to be in the
middle of a drill during basic
training and told you had to
stop everything and rush to
have your picture taken," she
said.
No Special Treatment
She said she was not given
preferential treatment by the
Air Force because of her
famous relative.
"If anything, they were
tougher on me. 1 think the
mental reconditioning is hard
er on one in basic training
than the physical exercise. 1
just couldn't gel. used to the
idea of going to bed early and
getting up early."
Mary is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Woodrow York,
Rockwood, Tenn. She has a
brother William, 16, and a
sister, Patty Gay, 7.
"I'm a rebel and I'm proud
of it," she said, "and I hope
I can serve the Air Force in a
ladylike way1."

United Press International
Kansas City, Mo. -UTO- It's
the woman who wields the
paint brush in many house
holds in these do-it-yourself
days.
As a result manufactures,
distributors and retailers of
paint and allied products are
going all out to make things
easier for the feminine con
tingent. An industry source says
that a few years ago 90 per
cent of all painting was done
by professionals. Now the fig
ures are about reversed with
with pro doing only about 10
per cent of the interior work
on homes. How much of the
remaining 90 per cent is done
by women is anybody's guess
but paint manufacturers agree
the percentage is high.
This mass invasion by wom
en in still another supposedly
masculine field has prompted
a whole series of develop
ments in the industry.
Women said ceilings were
too difficult to paint; the
brush dripped on everything,
including them. To solve that
problem, the industry came
up with a no-drip paint, a
jellied substance that is liqui
fied in small amounts by the
brush's friction with wall or
ceilings, and so goes on
smoothly.
Fine Shadings
Rubber-based paint which
dries swiftly but which can
be "lapped" without the over
lap showing has eased the way
in another direction.
The paint roller and tray
which permit an case of ap
plication that no brush can
match for large areas-long
since became standard equip
ment in many a housewife's
spring cleanup campaign.

Paint Brush In
To many men green is
green, blue is blue and pink
I is pink-with the shade varia
; tions a trivial matter. Not so
to the woman, to whom color
often is the most important
! decorative feature of a home,
j So modern color systems have
i been developed to give her a
choice literally of thousands
of hues.
j There are nearly as many
of these color systems as there
are paint manufacturers. One
combine of independent manu
facturers colorizer associates
embracing numerous Ameri
can companies and a few in
Britain, has a system which is
the painting equivalent of a
boxd cake mix.
In that system, the user can
match any shade of any color
from a ready selection of
about 2,000 hues.
Washable Wallpaper
This "instant paint" uses
one of only three bases-into
which a numbered tube of
colorant is squeezed and
stirred to obtain an exact
gradation of tint. Colors range
from the palest to very deep
tones.
Wallpaper manufactu r e r s
also are taking increasing note
of women, although the num
ber of women who do paper
ing jobs is much smaller than
the number who paint.
Wallpaper comes ready-
