May Fellowship Day will be ob
served in thousands of communi
ties of thb United States by in
terdenominational gatherings of
Church women on May 4. The
theme of all-day programs will
be “Children and Youth—Leaders
ef Tomorrow.” Preliminary study
fey an “exploration committee”,
appointed in each community
study its needs and recommend
action, is expected to constitute
an important phase of the pro
gram. Mrs. John H. Trent, of
the May Fellowship committee of
the United Council of Church
Women, under whose auspices the
observance is held, stresses the
timeliness of the undertaking this
year, in view of the alarming in
crease in juvenile delinquency.
She urges that youth, teachers,
social workers, judges, nurses and
church leaders participate in
each local presentation of com
munity problems and work to
gether for their solution. .

jobs open, we will be only too
glad to. inform, you of the type of
work for which yoq are suited!
Remember, too, the Army , is w el
prepared to train you ; in any job
you may select?” , r ( ,
In analyzing , a point which has
caused much discussion ■ among
soldiers is: ‘‘After the war, .will
my girl be just as feminie as be
fore she joined the WAC?” Sgt
Bradford said, “When peace is
won, will not your • husband or
father, son or sweetheart prefer
you to understand the stare on
his face, the emptiness which will
steal over his heart at times, the
sad smile with which he consid
ers the huge importance people
attach to very little things?”
“Or would he rather,” continued
Sgt. Bradford, “that you didn’t
have any of his experiences, that
you know none of his sacrifices,
or the joys and close relationships
to buddies in uniform. The choice
is yours, to be sure, but you need
lose none of your charm or grace;
but instead gain a more thorough
knowledge of the true values of
character and our American way
of living.”
WAC information may be secur
ed by direct contact with Mrs.
Fannie K. McCain, your local civ
ilian chairman, who will have full
information for you. If you are
unable to see Mrs. McCain you
may write to the U. S. Army Rctg.

throughout the country to ( “create
public opinion 1 against such
phases of a national service act
as relate to the conscription of
women in any form^ the con
scription of labor, and the peace
time conscription of young people
for military service.” They are
also urging Methodist women < > to
work for the enactment of ade
quate fair employment practice leg
islation, to study child labor condi
tions in their several states, and
work for legislation which will
enable the U. S. Children’s Bu
reau to administer the child la
bor section of the Wage-Hour Act.
Declaring that “the Christian
home is the heart of the whole
Christian enterprise”, the Foreign
Missions Conference of North Am
erica is planning to appoint a
“Committee on the Christian
Home” to deal with missionary
problems related to women, chil
dren and home life in all lands.
The missionary society of the
Methodist Church in Argentina.
1 as a token of inter-American
Christian fellowship, has appoint
ed its first national missionary to
serve in the Republic of Bolivia.
She is Miss Adelita Gattinoni,
youngest daughter of Bishop and
Mrs. Juan E. Gattinoni of Buenos
Aires. She will be located in
Cochabamba where much of the
missionary work is among the In
dians of the Bolivian highlands.
