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.

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.
