S. State Department. She had just finished a three months trip around the United States as a government guest. “This I will certainly say when I get home,” she said. “Amer- ican women do ‘NOT spend all their. time in night clubs. They are good cooks, good mothers. They work hard.” She has visited, among other places, a South Dakota farm. Later the State Department con- ference group heard from the South Dakota hostess, who wrote: “Mrs, Burkhauser was certainly a good sport. We tried to let her see our everyday life. She has no washing machine, so she helped with our wash. The. machine broke down. “Then we she could chain stores. The down!” In the past two years 431 for- eign women—all leaders in their home communities—have come to know Americans in homies, at c'ub “meetings, at local elections, at city council meetings, at public health clinics. The guests, who come from about 55 nations, are routed, met at trains, taken to meetings and into homes, and helped to: study through the combined efforts of the State Department, women’s clubs, and four agencies, in- cluding the American Council on Education, the U. S. Labor De- partment’s’ office of international labor affairs, the National social Welfare Assembly, and the Gov- ernmental Affairs Institute. The State Department pays the visitor’s travel expenses, and gives each $12 a day for hotel room, meais and incidentals. Each visitor chooses some spec- ial study. Foreign women writers and radio commentators are all routed to American newspaper offices and radio stations. For- eign labor leaders meet with their American counterparts. Farm women have visited the Midwest- ern farm co-operatives. The State Department, with no staff to accompany the visitors, calls on the four agencies to plan the actual trips. The agencies, in turn, ask help from the large American club women groups— like the League of Women Voters, the General Federation of Women's Clubs, the American Assn, of Un- iversity Women. The visitors are picked aboard by joint committees, groups which always. include the American embassy’s cultural officer. League of Women Voters ficials feel the choice of German women visitors has been especi- ally good. Many of,them are now members of the West German fed- eral legislature at Bonn, where they can influence German for- eign policy, American women’s urge to make friends is taking many forms. One of the most successful is in Ankara, Turkey.Wivts of them any Americans working there have formed a Turkish-American wo- men’s Club of 350 mmebers, about half of them Turkish. They meet in each other’s homes to study languages, cooking, literature and dances.

W. Erhart, program chairman for ZX-11, hostess group for the luncheon, announced that none other than “Art Linkletter” would present his program over W-ZX-11. The first part of the program was sponsored by “Hmph” soap) with the “Hmph Trio”, Frances West, Gert McMurry and Dottie Johnston singing the familiar theme song: i “Hmph Bar Soap cleans the skin 80 good, z Hmph Bar Soap takes the paint off wood, Hmph Bar Soap used on babies cleans them up for good Hmph Bar Soap, Hmph Bar Soap, Hmph Bar Soap.” The following commercial was then read: “Dear Sirs, After using 3494 cakes of Hmph with the guar- anteed built-in pimple remover in- gtedient, I should like to say that my face is gone but the pimples are still here.” {A special feature of the Hmph is the hollow center designed for those who do not know what to do with those messy little ole pieces of left over sap.) Then “‘Linkeletter” played by Lt. Al Robertson, took over for quiz part of the program. Pre- viously the contestants had been selected at random from the lunch- eon guests and with one excepiion were completely unaware of their Part on the program. The first contestant was Kola Reid, wife of the exec. at the Na- val Hospital. When she couldn’t answer the question, ‘‘Where are APC’s?” she was scolded for not knowing more about the medical department of the Navy and presented with a box of frozen Band-aids — for cold cuts. Carol Dente, whose husband is an instructor at the Sonar School defined correctly defined ‘‘Sonar” s “underwater radar” and was awared a complete of “silver” to replace some of hers that is miss- ing. The fact that the “‘silver’’ will be more. useful to her small fry than to herself did not affect her gracious thanks for this “‘wonder- Hs-i was represented by Meredi- th Dye. After one false start when she said the nickname for helicop- ters was “Whirlybirds,” ‘she was given a chance to reconsider and came up with the desired answer, “egg beaters,” and was given one to take home. The second part of the program was sponsored by Karters Little an “Another nauseating chapter in the life of “our Gal Monday,”.— the story of an orphan girl from the little mining town of Sani-Flush, Colorado.

Monday, in young woman- hood married England’s richest, most handsome peer, Lord Percival Lovebreath.” The leads in this chapter were played by Gert Mc- Murray as Monday and Lt.

She correctly named a Marine’s swag- ger stick and was awarded an all expense tour to — Stock Island, Ev Hoham, treasurer of the Sub- ron Officers Wives Club, won a handful of play money when she correctly named the Navy slang term, “Sack” as a bed. Dawn Gillespie didn’t fair so well and was unable to define “extru- sion” and had to pay a forfeit. Dawn, who has studied ancient and modern hula, was directed to perform for the guests. . She oblige with “Lovely Huli Hands.” Her costume was of irre- descent orange cellophane and the dance was beautifully executed. The theme for the day, “School Daze,” was faithfully carried out in the decorations. Name tags were clever little slates with sums, spelling and drawings on them. ‘The main table was centered with a “little Red School House” made of plastic blocks, complete to the last detail. Hanging around the patio were “finger” paintings in gay colors. Every one agreed that this was one of the most entertaining and original programs ever presented at a Fort Taylor lunecheon. _With the exception of Mrs, Gilles- pie, the other quiz “contestants” did not know until the beginning of the program that they were to take part in it.
