Women In Cheering Section Learn Valuable Lessons By RUTH MILLETT At Slippery Rods College in Pennsylvania this year there are only nine men students and every one of them is on the basketball team — which leaves women stu dents the responsibility for cheer ing the team. That ought to give the co-eds ot Slippery Rock valuable exper lence. For •‘cheering the team” is tne life-time work ot women. In war their main job is to boost morale - which is just another form of cheering the team. ^J\en they go into the business world the women who get along with a masculine boss and men workers are those who applaud, admire and encourage everything the men do. “You certainly have Mr. Smith eating out of your hand” a woman employee tells the man working at the next desk. uch tactics, which keep her pop ular in the office, are nothing more or less than the applause of a well-trained rooter. Socially, of course, women are always in the cheering section. They don’t dare monopolize the conversation when there are men around. And their greatest social asset isn’t the ability to talk in telligently or put over a funny story. The women who have social charm are the ones who know how to listen and when to laugh. That’s a form or rooting, too. STICK BY HIM It may be necessary for a wom an to be her husband’s helpmate, but nothing she ever does to keep the family going brings her as much credit from her husband as her readiness to stick by him through good times and bad, al ways having enough faith to egg him on with "The breaks have been against you—but just wait, you’ll show ’em.” So if the girls who are students at Slippery Rock don’t learn any thing else during their college ca reers but how to be confident, suc cessful rooters, they will be well I rained for life. And that goes whether they make a career ol business, society or marriage—oi a combination of all three.

Juvenile Delinquents Trained In Handicraft By BETH LANEY When a juvenile is confined to the New Hanover detention home now, he stands a good chance of emerging “a better child,” instead of a youth prepared to become a public trouble-maker or criminal. This opinion by Mrs. J. C. Lay ton, clerk of juvenile court and voluntary supervisor of the deten tion home, is based on a more home-like atmosphere that now is provided for juveniles. And for the first time, New Han over juveniles are taking part in a handicraft program, which she ex plained “gives them an occupa tion that makes them satisfied.” The making of pot holders, waste paper baskets and other ar ticles, she explained, has a good psychological effect upon the young inmates. “They often arc resentful and antagonistic when they go to the home, but when they find attrac tive work, their tension is reliev ed, ’ she said. The building, which was occu pied by white juveniles for the first time last summer, has “home like furnishings,” Mrs. Layton said, and grass has been planted on the lawn. The Negro building has been renovated. Bars at the windows are concealed by cur tains. Mrs. Carolyn Domler, house mother, is in charge of directing the handicraft work of the white children and “does a fine job,” according to Mrs. Layton. At the present time, there are three Negro juveniles at the home, and no white children. In their handicraft work, the youthful inmates make articles from materials that ordinarily would be thrown away. For in stance, pot holders have been pre pared from strips of cloth or loop ers, paper baskets from discarded ice cream cartons. An article unfinished by one youth when he is released, is com pleted by another committed to the home. Since last summer juveniles have completed 50 pot holders, 12 waste paper baskets and other miscel laneous articles. It would appear from Mrs. Lay ton’s description of the present set-up that much has been ac- : complished to remedy conditions at the home, which a special Junior Chamber of Commerce i committee told the board of coun ty commissioners last February 1 were unsanitary and inadequate. The Jaycee committee asserted that invalids, insane patients, and juvenile delinquents were in the same building. The group asked for a new home and separate juve nile detention quarters at once. One of the great problems at the detention home, tht Jaycees as serted, originated from the inac tivity of the juvenile inmates. The committee found juveniles locked in rooms behi id heavy, panel doors, without outside vision, and no diversion. There was nothing but the floor on which to sit, and doors were opened three times each day for meals, the commit tee reported. For improvement of the home, the committee recommended a home under separate supervision; a recreational, educational and character-developing program un der trained personnel; the abolish ment of the same quarters and facilities by white and Negro; the abolishment of the chain and log; daily service and check of toilet and bath facilities; strict sanitary maintenance of beds, mattresses and covering; and ample cover ing. _v_ TRENCH FOOT HELD WORST PLAGUE FOR THE U. S. INFANTRY WASHINGTON, Dec. 22—(jf)— Last war it was the cooties—this time it’s trench feet the boys at the front cuss most. And they’re not only griping about it, a congressman-doctor just back from the trenches said to day, but many of them are being laid up as casualties because of this affliction which affects cir culation of the blood. “Last war we griped about trench feet, too, but it actually has become a serious problem this time,” Rep. Fenton (R-Penn) told a reporter. “It bothers the boys now a lot more than most of the shortages. In some serious cases gangrene has even set in.” Fenton is a physician who was elected to Congress six years ago. He toured the European battle fronts this month with several other House Military Affairs com mitteemen. Trench foot, he said, is a “cir culatory disturbance” in which the blood does not flow properly and freely to the capillaries of | the feet. Swelling results and it can be very painful. He stressed it is not an infection such as ath lete’s foot. Chief cause of the affliction is lack of exercise, when a man is confined to a foxhole or trench for a long period. Poor-fitting shoes or infrequent changes of footwear increase the hazards. -V Costa Rica passed a social se curity law in 1943.
