In teaching the group something about the Chinese language, she explained that many of their figures were easier to learn than some Arabic numbers in Eng lish. Miss Woo, 28 years old, came to the United States only a year ago with Mrs. Mary O. Holler Rice, sister of the Rev. Adlai C. Holler, pastor of the First Methodist church of Lau rens. She has been a Christian in China since she was a small child, and she has been speaking English since she was in the third grade.

BAKER IN the war in China, Miss Woo said that her people bebeved that they would win by patience. “The govern ment never teaches us to hate the Japanese,” she said. She pointed out that the Chinese believed that it is their duty to prepare themselves for victory. “If we work hard some day we will win,” she said. Miss Woo be lieves that since the Chinese are fighting for their own homes they will be more likely to succeed. The army in China is composed mainly of volunteers. A draft is very seldom, Miss Woo stated. She pointed out, however, that citizens who are experts in certain fields are placed in strategic positions. "Our government urges the boys to go on to school,” M^ss Woo said, and she told how the army was made up mostly of the poorer class who wanted to make the army a career. “We are still hope ful,” she said in closing, “because we still have our bejst men for leaders.” ■xsr Belisha, former Commando Chief Admiral Sir Roger Keyes, Edgar Granville and others—will open the debate.

Churchill’s answer to the growing demand that he relinquish his role as defense minister obviously could be that the twin tasks he now per forms are undertaken by President Roosevelt, Joseph Stalin and Chiang Kai-Shek. He is expected to say that no man can be prime minister during war unless he also is minister of de fense. newspapers joined today in advocat ing the removal of war strategy from the hands of the prime minister. Should Churchill give ground after the debate, it appeared likely that he might announce the creation of a general staff—a step long advocated by the powerful Times and influen tial groups in parliament. Gen. Sir Archibald P. Wavel, pres ently commander in India, was men tioned as a man with a “three ser vice mind” necessary for the head of such a staff. With U. S. troops pour ing into the country and American warships operating from British bas es, it was evident that such a staff should include American representa tives.

BENJAMIN’S REPAIR SHOP 117 express fear that a major portion of the $15,000,000 fruit and berry crop in the Southeast will be lost unless housewives take advantage of the extra ration of sugar provided for canning and preserving. The Office of Price administration said reports from Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas indicated that there was virtually no market for the already ripening fruits and berries in these states. Housewives seemingly are not aware that they can secure extra sugar for canning purposes, in addi tion to the sugar alloted to them on their ration cards. Application for this additional supply of sugar for can ning and preserving should be made at local rationhig boards. So far, ap- plicatons for 'sugar for preserving have been light Housewives are urged to apply to their local rationing boards for the sugar they will be allowed for can ning and preservinf. They will be assuring themselves of a winter sup ply of sweets in tffe event of the further tightening of sugar rationing, and at the same time will prevent the waste of the Southeast's present fruit and berry crop, which would result in a heavy loss to Southern growers.
