Girls Of That 'Uncertain Age'
Get Life's Answers Early
ONCE a month the teen-age girli of Bethlehem, Pa., gather in the
high-school auditorium "to find out." The dtpors arc loeked; not
• boy is in sight.
Life grows more pleasant, living more gracious liccausc of these
meetings; for here the girls unburden their minds of questions they
would not ask even the most sympathetic mother-—questions of morals
fad manners.
Tho Bethlehem Girls' Council
einie into being three years ago. A
group of enlightened women heard
of* plan dealing with the problems
ot liigh-school girls and set about
puling it into effect. They succeeded
g ell that tho National Council of
Women now has adopted the Beth-
lehem Plan and stand ready to spon-
aor girls' councils all over the
country.
Tho plan is simply this: to let the
iris teach themselves, rather than
ie lectured to, through their own
£
dramatizations of playlets of morals |)usjness clusses, usunfiv "revive
and manners. There is a question- j for ,cnior Kirls Famoyus uome|
box into which the girls drop any | physicians lecture on hygiene nni
questions they choose. They do not | health; then the girls hand in un
questions already successfully an-
swered:
How should you handle a boy who
tries to get fresh?
Should you leave a boy when ho
has had too much to drink?
What do you think about going on
blind dates?
How do YOU rate at a dance?
Is it right, when you have gnne
out with a boy a few times, to lot
him kiss you good-night?
In addition to these dramatiza-
tions, there are personal-appearance
clinics and pro-marriage and pro-
ved
omen
lecture on hygiene and
sign their names. From these ques
tions the monthly plays are chosen.
Members of the women's committee
prepare a rough script and turn it
over to the girls for polishing. Teen-
age language and atmosphere, of
course, are employed.
Helen Welshimor, wh) was sent
to Bethlehem by Good Housekeep-
ing to make a first-hand study of
tho plan, relates her impressions in
an article called "The Questions
They Ask" in the April issue. She
reports that nil of Bethlehem agrees
tho plan is "the best thing thai ever
struck this'town."
Tho playlets range in theme any-
where from the problems of smok-
ing, drinking and petting to how to
ncquire charm, poise and personal-
ity. The following nro a few of the
signed, written questions — the
frankest sort of questions—which
the lecturer answers in equally
frank language.
Thanks to the Bethlehem Plan,
girls of that "uncertain age" are
going to have an easier time of it.
They will be able to meet the world
with greater assurance, knowing
that what they have been taught
will help make them better wives,
better mothers and belter iitiz?ns.
The National Council of Women
is going to act as a dealing house
for communities throughout I he
country, providing them at cost with
detailed outlines of the l! •thlch'-m
Plan. The National Council of
Women, Inc. may be reschcd at
International Building. Hockefiller
Center. New York City.

BAPTIST WMS
The WMS of the First Baptist
Church met Wednesday with Mrs.

Love to Tell the Story."
Prayer—Mrs. Bentley.
Devotional—Mrs. H. C. Tims
21 ladies were present.
Our next meeting will be a book
review. "Travels in Palestine," by
Mrs. W. H. Clark of Tulia.
Mrs. Cassie Nelson will be hos-
tess and a covered dish luncheon
will be served at the noon hour.
The Program will begin at 10:30.
ANOTHER SHOWER
Another shower of rain fell here
Thursday morning and while not
all, some are praying for, yet it
will be a great help to growing
wheat.
The wind or sand storm which
came more than a week back did
very little damage to Armstrong
County wheat as a whole. Some
say we did not have a 5 per cent
damage taking from one side of
the county to the other.
Anyway, wheat is promising much
at this time and an average of 20
bushels to the acre and one dollar
a bushel will mean much to Arm-
strong County wheat growers. Here
is hoping that we have the 20
bushels per acre as well as $1.00
a bushel when the wheat goes on
the market. SELAH,

NORTH ARMSTRONG CLUB

of a program on "Famous Hymns."
The members joined in singing
"The Ninety and Nine" and this
was followed with a prayer by the

"My Most Beloved Old Hymn," and
then the following topics were dis-
cussed :
"Four of Aunt Fanny Crosby's
Songs"—Mrs. H. F. Sowder
"Songs by Martin Luther, Char-1
les Wesley and Dwight L. Moody"
—Mrs. J. C. Harris
"Three of Dr. Isaac Watt's World
Famous Songs"—Mrs. E. R. Gabel

Mrs. L. D. Wiegman and Mrs. Posey
Refreshment plates carrying out

Example is a powerful stimulant,
generating uicreased energy, greater
capacity, better behavior, and high-
er thoughts.
At times it's sn.art not to be all
dressed up. The dress above, of dark
blue Celanese rayon crepe with a
white pique cravat and white pique
at the sleeves and pockets is Just
the thing for a small dinner out
or a party at home.
Another discouraging thing is
that some of lis look a lot older
than we feel.
Greed will warp anybody's Judg-
imit.

tion" with Mrs. Chester Carr as

the subject. She read the 4th chap-

The society having just finished

thews. were anxious to hear a mis-
sionary from India. We were for-
tunate in securing Mrs. D. L. Dod-

WET WASH PRICE
Make us prove our Price is lower
At our iow price of 4c per pound for Wet Wash we can do your
laundry cheaper than you can do it at home, and we will be
glad to prove it. The actual cost of materials you can purchase
is more than 4c per pound—to say nothing of the cost of your
investment and the tune and worry of operating it.
We urge you to investigate the relative cists or doing your
laundry at home and of sending it to our modern plant. You
already know we can do it better. We can f.iso prove that we
can do it cheaper.

Land of Contrast, as each Mission-
ary had different things to tell.
Everyone enjoyed her discussion on
Mahatma Gandhi. A picture of
him, in front of his home was
shown.
There isn't any farm homes in
the Villages of India, all of the
farmers coming to the villages after
finishing their farming for the day. f
Thev had no dishes to wash, as
they ate ihcii Icori off of leaves,
then threw them to the cows.
The Villages of India, major [
needs are Health. Economic Bet- [
terment. Leisure time. Employment
and Philosophy of Life. One of the i
villages was entirely made up of j
mud huts, which the Indians nam- j
ed "Ushagram" meaning Village,
of the Dawn." The huts were be- ;
ing made sanitary; sun. rain and I
fireproof, also well ventilated.
Mrs. Dodgen spoke of their lang- ;
uages and of their soft voices. The j
description of her first church ser- !
vice was very interesting. There is j
a number of Christian Homes in 1
the Non-Christian Villages.
Everyone was glad to hear about j
Erie Bungalow Rajahmundry of
the Lutheran Church. Many very
interesting pictures were shown as!
follows. "Girls Luther League of

tr v a big change to take place
there real soon.
During a social hour ten was
