B. says she can guide them to from $20 to $30 a week. "We have several cultured women doing this work. It is house-to-house work, takes backbone, but any normally intelligent person can do it. But I'm afraid they all want a nice cushy salary, while they sit around. Well, you can clear your files of some of them, Alma. If they won't try this you don't need to bother with them any longer." And here are a few more "openings." It is easier to print them than to write you all separate letters explaining how they don't measure up to your requests. The best comes from Mrs. E. T. L. who will pay $35 a month, room and board, to a girl between 20 and 25 in "a permanent domestic position." Family consists of two adults, boy 6½, with whom the maid would have to share a room. "But it is appropriately furnished for that purpose, including a radio. Work hours are to 1 p.m., then rest until 3:30 p.m. when the evening meal would have to be prepared. Time off Thursdays, every other Sunday." Address is Burbank. #### Californians Wanted Mrs. P. R. W. lives on an orange grove, two miles from Covina. Her hubby makes frequent long trips away. There are two boys, 6 and 17 months. Mrs. W. wants a lady companion, middle aged, who would perform a few odd duties for room and board "and take full charge when I am away, for which I would pay $1 a day. Main requirement is that she adore children." Or there's Mrs. S., who offers room and board in exchange for part-time sewing. She would like a woman with a small child. And Mrs. G. H. C. also will take a mother and child and pay $4 a week to a "mother's helper." She has six youngsters, another on the way. This is near Newhall. Oh, yes, and L. van L. can give room and board and $5 a month to a schoolboy, for work before and after school. This is Los Angeles. That's the lot. And I have scores of requests for jobs, none of which ask for anything like these. But I would like to help A. C. B., who is deaf. She is experienced in "the better homes," can provide first-class references, and can "do anything but answer the telephone or care for children." A good home means much more than size of salary. #### Exchange Offered Mrs. E. L. lives at Bell and is one of those tied-down mothers. She would so like to meet another mother in similar plight that they might exchange services, minding each other's children. Mrs. Lucille W. needs a gas heater so much. Hubby, after being jobless for 18 months, now has work, so if we can help with the heater, she'll do something nice for the column when they catch up on their debts. Mrs. C. A. J., colored, is the breadwinner for her little family, husband jobless, two babes. She needs a bedroom rug and an old desk for which husband could do some service. We'll never catch up on the swaps, I'm afraid. Emily M. is an artist, loves music, craves a piano. Would anyone accept hand-painted screens, canvases for one? She had to sell her piano in a crisis . . . Mrs. A. L. O'C. needs a warm fur coat, could give a man's 17-jewel pocket watch in exchange. [Alma Whitaker invites letters to this department and will try to be helpful. Write briefly, clearly, with address on letter. And, PLEASE, no phone calls!] ## Column 5 ### Friday Club Hears Talk by Dr. Jonas "We are perhaps about to realize a greater unity than our country has ever experienced, but we must beware of a spiritual unity based on fear," Dr. Frank Jonas warned Friday Morning Club members at yesterday's luncheon. The speaker is acting head of the S.C. political science department. "The unity we are experiencing is based on fear of invasion, though the possibility of invasion is very remote," Dr. Jonas continued. "It is based on the supposed need of massed defense, the expectancy of war with someone." Fear that democracy is aping totalitarianism, instead of totalitarianism aping democracy, was expressed by the speaker. "Social problems are not solved by alliances and conscription, nor by war unless the purpose is crystal clear," he declared. "Spiritual unity is not won through negative evidence of threats, doubts, fears; a fundamental decision, basic expression of will by American leaders is required." Creative writing, literature and drama will share the attention of the Friday Club members Tuesday. The creative writing section will meet with Mrs. Nan Denker, chairman, in the morning to hear a talk on character actions. Mrs. Lillian Burkhart Goldsmith will conduct the literature section in the afternoon with A. L. Bezzerides and George Palmer Putnam to be the speakers. Tea will follow. The drama workshop will visit the Ebell of Los Angeles in the afternoon to present "Angelica Incorporated" under the direction of Mrs. Margaret Barbrick Purcell. The players will include Charlotte Ramsey, Margaret Thompson, Avalon Metcalf, Virginia Idol, Gwen Carlson, Dorothy Spaeth, Lucille Van Holt, Muriel Miller, Alice McGibbons, Helen Levitt, Catherine and Edith Schlegelmilch, Betty Chandler, Celia Takemoto, Helen Zobelein, Marty Halderman, Dorothy Goodspeed, Ruth Rhodes and Billy Hoof. ### CEREMONY SET TODAY Miss Margaret McHale, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. McHale of Buckingham Road, and George Bastian, son of Mr. and Mrs. John G. Bastian of Los Angeles and Freeport, Ill. are to be married this morning in St. Paul's Catholic Church. The reception will be held in the Santa Monica Deauville Club. Miss Geraldine McHale will be her sister's maid of honor and other attendants will be Mrs. Kathleen Black, sister of the bridegroom, and Miss Alice McGarry. Rachel McHale, sister of the bride, will be flower girl. Robert Bastian is to serve his brother as best man and Carl Bastian, Matthew Cleary and Pat McGarry will usher. ## Column 6 # CLUBS *Los Angeles Times* ### Conscription Boosts Mercy Work Demands #### Women Hear Plea for Volunteers to Serve Red Cross at Army Camps BY BESS M. WILSON "You are entitled to know how broad the functions of the Red Cross are and how they must be broadened further to meet demands put upon the organization by reason of conscription and the military service bill. Already we have had a request to open a canteen after a lull of many years in this branch of the service, and in two months demands upon the home service department increased 10 per cent. These tremendous increases will continue. Your Red Cross will meet them as it always has." With this assurance Gurney Newlin, chairman of the Los Angeles Chapter, American Red Cross, prefaced his plea to members of the Women's Athletic Club for volunteer service in any crisis that may arise. Mrs. Lyman H. Johnson, chairman of the volunteer service of the chapter, also spoke of fresh demands and expansions. "One of the branches of service in which we are bound to feel pressure as camps open, is in the nurses aid section," Mr. Newlin said. "Women in this branch must be qualified and trained to assist registered nurses. This is a serious matter with our branch since there are no nurses' training facilities available except those offered by Pasadena. It is possible our chapter can work out some plan with the Pasadena chapter. If not, the situation may prove unfortunate." Care of the families of enlisted men has brought much additional work within the last few weeks, the chairman said. #### Problems Told "The Red Cross is the only lay agency available for the keeping up of the morale of these men and their families. Some misadvised men with families have enlisted and their salary will not care for the family left at home. Because they are in military service the Red Cross is duty bound to supply the difference in income. There has been no increase in the apportionment from the Community Chest to meet all these extra demands and we must meet them in other ways. "Recently there came to Washington a request from the two relief agencies handling relief in Great Britain, the Women's Voluntary Service and the British Red Cross. The things needed included 1000 kerosene stoves for cooking in the shelters of England, 500,000 blankets to take the place of those lost by refugees, 300 ambulances, a number of cars and trailers to carry food and supplies about the devastated areas of London and 50 motorcycles with side cars for use of doctors and their assistants. Within two days all those things were in process of shipment." #### Duties Described Women have an important roll in all Red Cross work with the large share of the production branch falling to them, Mrs. Johnson said as she discussed the work now being done by Los Angeles women. "From our motor corps must come the ambulance drivers in case of disaster and that branch may have to be increased. We were first told we would not need to make surgical dressings but already we know that is to be changed. With camps opening we shall need many women trained for canteen work and for home service and nurses aids. All these mean more or less time spent in intensive training, giving up much of one's time to the job, and receiving no pay. #### Workers Willing "But we have never had a shortage of women willing to make this sacrifice either in war or disaster and we are not worried that there will be too few now. Finding the right woman for the right job, getting her trained and equipped, and at the same time keeping volunteer assistants on the administrative staff keyed up to the increase of work—these are the tasks in which we are asking your interested co-operation." Mrs. Palmer H. Cook, chairman of the Woman's Athletic Club auxiliary to the Red Cross, presided at the program following dinner attended by club members and their families. Associated with Mrs. Cook as officers are Miss Edna Strauss, vice-chairman in charge of knitting, Mrs. C. B. Eyre secretary, and Mary-V Holloway, educational and supply chairman. ### Llewellyn-Murphy Bridal Solemnities Due Today The marriage of Miss Agnes Terese Murphy, daughter of Mrs. James J. Murphy of Victoria Ave., and John Paul Ward Llewellyn, son of the late Capt. John Ward Llewellyn of the British Navy and Mrs. H. C. Simons, is to take place this morning in the Church of the Transfiguration. Miss Dahl Murphy will be her sister's maid of honor, Mrs. James Murphy Jr. is to be matron of honor and bridesmaids will be Misses Imelda and Joan Claire Murphy, sisters of the bride, and Lucille Bonde. Carl Rausch is to serve as best man, while J. P. McNicholas Jr., Wally Girard, Edward McAuliffe and John Callahan will usher. Mr. and Mrs. Llewellyn will motor north on their honeymoon and will make their home on Los Feliz Blvd. The bride attended the University of Washington and is a member of Zeta Tau Alpha. Mr. Llewellyn is a graduate of St. Mary's College. ### CLUBDOM Los Angeles District, Business and Professional Women's Clubs—Meeting, Rio Hondo Country Club, Downey, 1:30; dinner, 6.
