Don't take chances with that Smile!

As soon as you see a warning tinge of 'pink' on your tooth brush, sitit your dentist.

Nothing serious may be implied, but he is the one to decide. He may tell you it is "simply that your gums are sensitive because today's soft foods do not supply them with exercise”. All the treatment you may need is "the helpful stimulation of Ipana Tooth Paste and gum massage".

Brush your teeth with Ipana every morning and evening; then massage this gums vigorously with ipana on the fingertip. This induces wilter, more lustrous teeth; firmer, healthier gums.

WOMANSENSE: Women Are Invading Man's Last Sanctuary

IRED by stories of the

Huccess of experiments in manning ships wholly or partly with women sailors, hundreds of British women are lining up for a fling at life on the ocean waves,

For a number of them, their wishes have become true. During the past year, several merchant ships have sailed from Britain each with

A

complement of women in the crew, most of them being ex-Wrens. The experiment had its birth in 1018 when fatherly H. G. Mann, director of nine British shipping groups, decided that something should be done to improve cooking and catering nboard

merchant vessels. Ile thought that the female touch

was needed.

Three women were signed on board the La Pampa, a 4.148-ton freighter, but shortly before the ship sailed, the women were replaced by seamen following a complaint by the National Union of Seamen. The

So pleased was Mann with the women's work that he decided, to enlarge the scheme. Thirty women were signed on na crow members of the 3,185-ton La Cordillera and the

shipping companies were deluged with letters from ex-Wrens It was applying for jobs afloat. estimated that for every job aboard the La Cordlilern the shipping com- " pany had 300 waiting for a vacancy.

When the La Cordillera sailed on the maiden voyago in March 1947 two precedents were established. Fourteen women aged between 17 to 43 were included among the crew und Dr Marguerite Sheave, the first womun medical officer in the British Merchant Navy, became responsibic for the health of the crew and pas- sengers,

Women's Touch

On the La Cordillera's return to: Britain it was evident that women were in the British Merchant Navy to stay.

Captain M. Frame, master during that voyage, was loud in his praise of the female crew: "They are clean, hardworking and keep

Work for a woman aboard ship is no plenle as continually stressed by the La Cordillera's female crowers. The hours are long-ten a day with a continuous seven-day week unti port is. reached. But after the day's toll is ended the women can go to their comfortable cabins on the boat deck and relax, for their living conditions are good:

and officer in charge of the La Cor- dillern's female crew. She has her quarters, complete with shower, on the boatdeck,

In the streamlined galloy lined with shining steel sinks and electric coolers chief cook Dorothy Reed of London was preparing a meal for the 50 crew and 12 passengers. She boasted, "I cooked for five times that number when I was in the Wrens."

Betly Fitch, ship's baker and ex Wren pelly officer is also proud of her job. She said, "I bake thirty pounds of four every day to make loaves for the whole ship."

But proudest aboard the La Cor- dillera is tall, blonde Alma Nickalls,

ex-clerk from London, who boasts of her job as captain's Tiger." Alma explained that her job was to serve the captain's menis, keep, his cabin clean and dust off his uniforms.

Rates Of Pay

Rates of pay are laid down by the National Maritime Board and Na- tional Union for Seamen, Cooks or their nasistants get $100 to $120 per month with all found, while the pay of an assistant stewardess starts at $68 per month. About the only male complaint is that it takes four wa- men to do a two or three-man job in the gulley but they hastly admit that women seem to do the job better.

But even seamen have now learn- ed of the benefit of having women among the crew for as it was sum- med up by one old rusty sen-dog: "Why, they even Iron our shirts."

As to plans for the future crewing of ships with women, Burles Markes Ltd, owners of La Cordil- Icra, stato that although the women have proved a great success aboard their vessel, the manning of other ships with them is problem- atical.

It was pointed out that the great tiniculty in having a mixed crew is due to accommodation. The La Cor- diller is a new vessel ond it was possible to car-mark separate commodations for women.
