FtRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1945 Grad, Red Cro Relates War E Danger! You are entering Prance According to Mrs. Allene B. Haberfeld, )36, who recently re turned to the States from 24 •mobths of duty with the American IRed Cross, in the European Thea tre. of Operations, it was safer to be in Germany than in France. France is honeycombed with land mines and booby traps while the retreating Whermacht spared their own' land of these deadly de vices to a great extent. "I was' always interested in Red Cross work and I wanted to take an•activc part in the war effort," she pointed out. "With the train ing I received in the College in dramatics and voice plus the work I did after graduation, I felt that entertainment would be my field." After a training course in ARC work, the former model arrived in England in September, 1943. For eight-and-a-half months she was an Areo Club director at a B-17 base in East Anglia. Besides meeting all returning missions to give food to the crew memberS, her work there was that of being a close friend, advisor, and morale builder to the men. "Of all th e work I ever did for the Red Cross the most gratifying and enjoyable was that at the Areo Club. I became more fa miliar with the fellows and could better help them more with their personal problems." Lands. In France D-Day found Mrs. 'Haberfeld and her partner, Miss Josephine Harris, a concert singer from Pittsburgh, in charge' of a eine me,bile waiting transportation to Prance. The cinemobile, a truck having a drop stage which is used to show movies and stage shows to' troops, and its two occupants landed on Omaha Beach in Nor mandy once the beachhead was secure, a month IW:en Throughout their stay on the continent, the twosome were at tached to the Third Army, and kept pace with its advances. They entered Paris a week after its lib eration and found the people still celebrating. The shop . windows were covered with anything red, white, or blue, commented Mrs. Haberfeld. American, British and French flags were everywhere, as was the inebriated population. But unfortunately wars are not all liberation parties and such. At the time of the , German Bel giUm Bulge offensive in Decem ber, Mrs. Haberfeld and Miss Har ris were in Luxembourg enter taining combat troops on four-day Cabinet Meeting— (Continued from page one) tee refuse the first floor lounge of Old Main and favor instead the procurement of the Sandwich Shop . or White Hall.

They were never in too great danger of capture, she point ed out, but the affair had a de pressing effect on them and the men as a whole. "I guess we had a good sense of humor," commented the Red Cross worker. "That's about what saved you overseas. If you couldn't see things in a lighter vein sometimes, you would simply crack up. Anyway, we had to keep our morale high , as it was out job to keep others happy regard less of how we felt." Meets General, Brladley r One of the greatest thrills that Mrs. Haberfeld experienced was when she met General Omar Bradley at a command perform ance of a show he requested in Weisbaden, Germany. The Gen eral said that it was "the best show in the ETO." Mrs. Haberfeld has just com pleted the writing of a book on the experiences of herself and Miss Harris overseas. The book is on the lighter side of Army life as they found it: Whether or not . it will be published is not yet known, but regardless, it will be a permanent record of what they did and as such they will alivays have a written account of their days with the ARC. Postwar plans for the author ess-traveler, who is entitled to wear the Presidential Unit Cita tion and the ETO ribbon with six battle clusters, are indefinite. California seems to agree with her and maybe that will be her future home. Research Grants-- (Continued from page one) fine size iron ore concentration with the $2OO voted to him.
