Movies Fail
To Patch Up
Marriages
By RUTH MILLETT
A Chicago judge recently tried a
new experiment in the hope of
patching up three marriages—but
it turned out to be a flop.
He sent three divorce - headed
■ couples to a movie about wartime
marital troubles. “The Impatient
Years.” But instead of coming
back to the judge in the mood
for saying they were ready to
patch up their difficulties and try
to make a go of their marriages
—the couples remained uncon
vinced.
The judge should have known
better than to expect to use a
movie as a means of reconcilia
tion between fighting husbands
and wives. Even the happiest cou
ples can find something to fight
about when going to a movie.
To begin with, when the movie
hour rolls around, chances are the
wife will be raring to go. and the
husband will have decided he’d
rather stay at home after all.
Mating Miracle
And if both of them enjoy the
same kind of movies, it’s a mira
cle of perfect mating. Then, too,
odds are in favor of the wife’s
taking so long to put on her face
and her hat that her husband will
yell at her before they start: “If
we can’t get in at the start of the
movie—let’s just stay home.
And, life being what it is, men
who like to sit way down front
invariably marry girls who like to
see their movies from a distance.
And there's always a sour note
if the man in back has to ask the
little woman to remove her hat—
or if the husband laughs more up
rcariously than his wife thinks he
should and so gives him a nudge,
to keep still, for heaven's sake.
And women being the inveterate
movie goers they are. there is a
chance that after the first few min
utes of a movie the wife will say,
“Why I've already seen this mov
ie” and either insist on leaving or
on staying, so as to be able to
tell her husband just what to ex
pect.
No wonder the judge’s experi
ment failed.

WAC Pin-Up Girl Flies High
1 . *» t A _A_
- 1
GORE FIELD, Mont.—The Sev
enth Ferrying Group never gets
down - hearted when up in the
clouds- it has a crew chief who
besides being a pin-up girl can hit
high C. She’s Pic. Jane Windham,
a blue-eyed blond from San An
tonio, Tex., who is the only WAC
in the Army who holds the dual
rating of crew chief and flight en
gineer.
Though Pfc. Windham was ac
tive in both the Civic Opera and
Little Theater Groups in San An
tonio. she’s singing only for the
Army now. And that’s how she
became a pin-up girl.
After a starring role in a camp
show, "Desert Fever,” the publi
cation of her picture in Tail
Winds, the Gore Field paper,
brought a V-mail letter from a
squadron of flyers in England:
"After seeing your picture, we
are more than ever proud of the
American girl. We’ll stack you up
against any pin-up queen.”
The triple threat ’’Windy,” as
she has been nicknamed, has been
cr flying status for only a few
months but already has been as
signed a ship. It is her job to
check the craft before and after
flights and see to its repair. As a
flight engineer, she has the same
responsibility in the air.
Windy, who flies in regulation
suit with leather jacket and car
ries a B-4 bag just like the fel
lows, has been plane-crazy since
the age of 12. She took a stiff
course in aerial engineering at
the University of California, and
worked as an aircraft inspector
at the San Antonio Army Air
Depot. When she enlisted in the
1VAC a year ago she was director
cf training for the New Mexico
iVing of Women Flyers, of which
there were 1,500 trainees.
Though the boys at the field
iave picked her as the "Girl of
romorrow,” Windy has her own I
deas. Says she:
"No. ma'am, not me! I’m going
,<j settle down and be a house
.viffe to Lt. Col Artis L Windham,
ny husband. But what could be
cetter than a landing field in
texas?”

Too Many Colors
Cut Costume Chic
By ALICIA HART
If ytu want to reveal—not hide
—your personal attractions, don’t
succumb to the temptation—which
is difficult to resist this season—
to wear too much jewelry, too
many colors in clothes, too much
busy business on hats, gloves,
shoes and bags.
You hide your light under a bush
el of jewelry, if you wear it on
ears, neck, wrist and a lapel. The
effect is usually much smarter if
you strip down to one piece.
And it’s hard to find the girl if
her figure is divided by as many
colors as a patch-work quilt. A
monotone effect from head to foot
is in most cases smarter than a
flock of colors, no matter how
skillfully they’re combined. Bags,
shoes, gloves and hats with a lot
cf intricate detailing are rarely as
chic as those of classic design.

BAD NEWS!
ALONG with all the good news of victories abroad,
l comes some very bad news here at home.
Fat salvage collections are taking a nose dive in
many sections of the country.
* * *
That can mean just one thing! Too many of us are
letting the good news go to our heads. Too many
believe that, with the collapse of Germany, we can
relax.
Don’t these people know that the battle of Germany
is just one chapter in this global war—and that we still
have a long, tough road to travel in the East?
★ * *
Even the total defeat of Germany can’t help us I
one bit as far as the fat situation is concerned. And for
a specific reason: it’s the japs who have our fats.
Our fat shortage troubles began when Japan moved
into the Pacific areas and cut us off from one billion
pounds of fats and oils we used to import every year.
The Japs are still there—and we’re still cut off!
* * ★
So we must continue saving used fats to help make up
that loss. To help make the munitions, synthetic rubber,
medicines, soaps and other materials needed to finish
the war. we must save even harder than ever. So
let’s get busy and send the fat collections climbing up
all across America! The need is so urgent, our
government gives you 44 and 2 free red points for
every pound saved!
So KEEF SAVING USED FATS UNTIL V-J DAY—the day
when we can celebrate final victory over our last and
toughest enemy—Japan.
