MRS. JOSEPH T. COX, second vice president of the Coral Gables Woman's Club who edited the club year book just off the press. Mrs. Rudolph B. Walter second vice president of the junior department was co-editor. The cover of the book is in green following the club colors of coral and green.

ELEANOR AND EVELYN CAIN ENJOY BIRTHDAYS TOGETHER

Double fun is in store for Miss Eleanor Cain, aged nine, and her younger sister, Evelyn, just six. The two little girls, both of whom were born on Oct. 18th, will be guests of honor at a luncheon birthday party to be given tomorrow by their grandmother, Mrs. Cullen Cain, at her home 547 Avenue Navarre. Twenty-four young school mates and Sunday School friends of Eleanor and Evelyn will take their places at the gaily decorated table to enjoy the birthday festivities and help blow out the candles on two identical birthday cakes. The luncheon will be followed by a party period of games. The sisters are the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. J. Forrest Cain of 1665 S. W. 19th Terrace.

Kappas Observe 21st Year With Luncheon at Victor's

The 77th anniversary of Kappa Kappa Gamma and the "coming of age" of Kappa Delta Chapter of the national sorority were celebrated jointly by close to 100 active and alumnae members at a Founders Day luncheon Saturday at Victor's. Introduced by Toastmistress Jane Price Butler, Winifred Wood described the founding of KKG by a handfull of daring leg-o-mutton sleeved co-eds at Monmouth College more than three-quarters of a century ago. Kappa Delta Chapter came into being in 1926 at the University of Miami as Lamba Phi, an independent sorority, and in 1938 became affiliated with the national organization. "Kappa Delta was born immediately after the Great Hurricane of 1926 and it appears we're going to celebrate our 21st birthday in the middle of another one," Miss Wood told her sorority sisters as the first gusts of last weekend's blow started howling outside the restaurant. Mrs. Eustis Adams Jr., president of the Greater Miami Alumnae Association, welcomed members and guests to the luncheon meeting. Two antique Kappa Keys, worn by founders of Mu Chapter, Butler College, were awarded to outstanding actives of Kappa Delta by Mrs. Thomas C. Mayes, province vice president. The first went to Chapter President Marjorie Masters, and the second to Mary Flynn, holder of scholastic honors in the Chapter for three successive years. The program also included description of the newly undertaken "Gold Key House" project by Rita Budd and Mrs. Elizabeth B. DuPuis and a song fest led by Geraldine Rasmussen and Isabel Kaminski. Mrs. James Sinclair was honored guest at the luncheon.

Women Students From Abroad Helped Through A. A. U. W. Study Grants To Enter U. S.

Studying in the United States this year under the auspices of the American Association of University Women are 54 international students who, through AAUW grants, will gain in this country professional training and skills which will help in the reconstruction of their homelands. Coming from war-torn countries of Europe and Asia, many of these women suffered personal hardships while serving in-resistance activities. AAUW grants, in most cases, cover all expenses for a year of study in the United States; a few are for smaller amounts to pay partial expenses, where that will suffice, or for shorter periods of study. In the two years since AAUW initiated its program of international grants for postwar educational reconstruction, funds raised by AAUW branches have brought women students to the United States from France, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Norway, Luxembourg, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Greece. This year the list also includes students from the Philippines, Siam, India, China, Finland, and Italy. From the Philippines Two women from the Philippines are studying at Columbia University, New York. Mrs. Maria Fe Atienza is taking a special course in the use of visual education and other techniques which will help the movement in the Philippines to teach the simple rules of health, sanitation and nutrition. A former Division Supervisor in Home Economics in Tarlac, Mrs. Atienza last year obtained a master's degree in home economics at the University of Illinois, and during the past summer observed the teaching of home economics in various American universities. She formerly taught in the public schools in Manila and was a general supervisor in the Bureau of Education. During the Japanese occupation, she and her husband won the gratitude of many American prisoners of war for the help they gave at great risk. Mrs. Atienza was also a social worker for the Philippine Red Cross. The other Philippine student is Miss Josefina Constantino, who is studying English at Teachers College, Columbia University. In addition to graduate courses, she will study progressive methods of teaching English and guidance work. She has been an instructor in the College of Education of the University of the Philippines. During the war she was a case worker in the Bureau of Public Welfare, and following the liberation, she worked with American relief officials of the Philippine Civil Affairs Unit, attaining the position of Assistant Relief and Welfare Officer. Siam Represented Siam is represented by two AAUW Study Grant holders. Miss Tasniya Isafasena of Bangkok is studying American educational methods at the University of Wisconsin in order to help improve the educational system in Siam. Miss Rabieb Tantranon, also of Bangkok, has entered the University of Illinois at Urbana to study library science. In Siam she was a lecturer at the Chulalongkorn University and was also in complete charge of the 20,000-volume university library. Her studies here will be of great value upon her return to Siam, she believes, for in that country trained librarians are virtually non-existant. Miss Dorothy Moses of Calcutta, India, received a small AAUW grant to aid in her study at the New York School of Social Work. A former teacher in the Women's College at Calcutta, Miss Moses, will return to her native country to take charge of a School of Social Work, recently opened in New Delhi. An ambition to introduce Chinese literary masterpieces into American reading material brings a woman translator, Tsai-wei O-Yang, from Peiping to the University of Southern California for the study of English literature. Miss O-Yang, whose married name is Mrs. T. C. Woo, has published translations from Chinese; English, and French. Also from China is Miss Kwan Hsu, who, during the Japanese occupation was instructor in physics in the University of Shanghai. Besides teaching, she designed and constructed laboratory apparatus for the physics department to replace that which was lost or destroyed. She is to study nuclear physics at the University of Minnesota. War Interrupts From Finland comes Miss Heenla Pipping whose education was interrupted when she was only fourteen by the Winter War in Finland. At her grandmother's farm in the center of Finland, she helped care for 15 young cousins and 15 old women from a neighboring town who had taken refuge there. She also worked every day driving sledge transports with timber and firewood from the forests. In 1942 she was sent to Sweden to nurse some of the many Finnish children who had been evacuated to that country. After the war, in the summer of 1946, Miss Pipping helped organize a nursery school program in Rovaniemi under sponsorship of a Swedish group and the American Friends Service Committee Center. She was an elementary school teacher in Helsingfors when the AAUW award was granted to her. She is studying modern educational methods at Teachers College, Columbia University, New York. Miss Eliisa Airila of Finland received a grant to aid in her study of public nursing at the University of Pittsburgh. She, with one other nurse, has been handling 7,000 war invalids in Helsinki. Dr. Alli Wiherheimo, Finnish delegate to the recent Toronto Conference of the International Federation of University Women, was given a grant to make professional contacts in the United States before returning home.

Night accidents in cities were responsible for almost two-thirds of edge traffic deaths in 1946, the National Safety Council says. Slow down at sundown, because you must see trouble to vaoid it.

Accidents are the greatest killer of young people between the ages of 2 and 28 years. They are almost three times as deadly as tuberculosis in the 15 to 19 age group alone, the National Safety Council says, and nerly six times as deadly as heart disease.

The character of the man makes the difference between lasting greatness and a meteoric flash in the pan.
