Before the wam the average col- lege girl's definition of a vacation was a time of complete rest from brain work, and the recipe for en- joying it was one hammock, one book of fiction, and one large plate of fudge, all surrounded by soft ‘breezes, blue sky and permeated |icee Volunteer Workers, organized | Red Cross but of the Food Admin-| in every state in the Union and com- [xslrauon and almost every other de- of zirls from almost | partment of the government. school and college in | These young women have dedi- bave come to the |cated themselves to their Zountry ¥ have gone. heart and | no less than the boys who are fight- into the work not only of the !ing over In France toda with an atmosphere of utter irre- sponsibility. Today, when there is such a thing | #s a WAR on hand, the definition strangely altered. Ask any Volur teer College Worker and you'll fin out that her interpretation of ti word ‘‘vacation” now ' is—inter application to some sort of work that will help to win the war. The incentive for enjoying that work is the prospect of winning a Food Ad- ministration certificate from th college she is attending and bein given a job at harvesting crops €anning or preserving or teach ®thers to do so.

War Work for the Summer., ° Nothing is too unimportant, noth- ing too diflicult for these volunteer workers. They have harvested crops and canned them, too: they: have assisted the state Councils of Defense in propaganda work: they have helped immeasurably in dis- seminating the recommendations of the Food Administration. Yet the: have not felt themselves above ta. me e of babies for busy house- wives who need a release from home taska in order to do their canning: or mending and patching, to aid in the conservation of clothing in order that the factories may be em- ployed in the making of soldiers’ | uniforms. Almost all of the schools and col= leges have maintained intensive courses in Home Econoriics and Dietetics during sump ar. Hun- dreds of girls have given up their vacations without a murmur to at- tend these courses, in order that they may later teach others and demonstrate the best methods for canning and preserving foods. At the State Normal and Indus- trial College at Greensboro, North Carolina, the students in the sum- | mer schools spent their time, in be- tween classes, not in playing ukule- les or eating fudge, but in stringing { beans and preparing vegetables for | canners. And speaking of fudge— : Volunteer Colleze Workers don't eat it. It takes too much sugar! And sugar means ships. And ships must carry troops to France and feed and arm them after they arrive there. Better to give up fudge than to let ! the army lack what it needs!

Any college girl who wants in- formation as to how to help, or to whom to apply in her state. can find her “place in the sun” by either ington or to the c e with which she has been identified. - “amera Man Catch es Wilson Whistling Jahsation Brrry Ginf Making Pies for the Men in Re Trenches How Food Saving in This Country Makes Possible Smiles, Pies, and Dough- nuts Over There, When The Salvation Army Dis- tributes Good Things in The Trenches.
