Headaches For
Hitler Slogan
Of Co. Girl
There's a blond in Snow Shoe
who is going to be the cause of a
lot of headaches beforee many
months are passed. This time it
isn't hearts she is going to break
but something a little more diffi
cult and less in the line of usual
accomplishments of nine-year -old
girls.
Thee conquerer, who Ir, out for
much higher stakes than hearts,
is Mary Elizabeth Swartz, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. James Swartz
of Snow Shoe.
Today Mary Elizabeth had an
appointment with her aunt, Max
ine Swartz Kusse, proprietor of a
Bellefonte beauty shop. The ap
pointment was not made to re
ceive any beauty treatment which
girls like Mary Eliizabeth cer
tainly don't need, but to have her
long pigtails cut in the cause of
the Four Freedoms.
Mary Elizabeth's mother learn
ed that the Army and Navy need
a certain kind of human hair for
use in bomb sights that are draw
ing some destructive beads on
things under them all over the
world. She submitted a sample of
her daughter's hair and the gov
ernment came Tight back for a
request for what she could spare
....it has to be a certain texture
and color before it is accepted for
use in the sights.
So today Mary Elizabeth part
ed with her pigtails that were 17
inches long and beautifully plait
ed at the back of her neck: She
really parted with something be
cause she has been growing them
for all of her nine years.
And it certainly won't be for
any material gain that the little
girl gives up her golden locks.
There is some money involved
but whatever amount it is goes
to the Red. Cross and USO.
Is Mary . Elizabeth sorry to see
her pigtails go? Yes and no.
tho full length of her long beak
down her fledgeling's throat,
Wade or Ross started the camera.
The. birds didn't seem to mind
the noise of ;the camera and were
excellent subjects for the study.
The shots are so close that you
can actually see the infinitesimally
small tongue of the younger bird.
The father was never around and
Ross.doesn't know whether he was
killed or whether it is his habit to
desert his wife when there are im
pending responsibilities.
As soon as some details regard
ing priorities can be overcome the
commission will have copies of the
film made for use throughout the
state. It is believed that the hum
mingbird pictures, like many oth
ers which Ross has taken, are
firsts in their field.
The photograph even shows that
this bird is quite pugnacious. One
shot shows that young bird call
ing upon its remarkable weight of
one-sixteenth of a pound and re
fusing one morning to eat its oat
meal.

Fall Training
Program Set
This fall more than 100 cities
and communities throughout the
State will inaugurate war training
classes designed to alleviate the
lack of manpower in critical im
portant industries according to a
report from the College extension
service which is directing the plan.
District representatives have
been laying the ground-work for
the classes by interviewing per
sonnel heads of plants with war
contacts and other industrial men
to uncover the number of techni
cally trained workers the firms
need.
Instructors will be supplied by
the College or obtained from a
qualified list of community lead
ers. Classes in engineering, science
and management will be organiz
ed within the plants themselves or
in the communities where the need
is great.
The College is working with the
United State Employment Service
and the United States Office of
Education in organizing the class
es and providing trained persons
-for war work.
