DAVIS Society Editor Combining charity, music and sociability, the first postwar public concert of St. John's College Glee Club will take place on Friday evening, May 7, in DeGray Hall of the college.

The St. John's Glee Club, of "Catholic Hour" is donating its services, and Rosa Canario the New York City Opera Company, who will be the guest artist, and John J. Engargiola, a junior at the college who is also a soloist, will do likewise. Miss Canario made her first public appearance at St. John's University when she was 13 years old.

She has sung with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, has appeared at Town Hall and has been heard frequently on the radio. The Glee Club, suspended during the war years, was reorganized last September under the direction of the Rev. Robert Rivard, C.M. of the college faculty, and has since been on the National Broadcasting Company and the Columbia Broadcasting System. The St.

John's singers were first acclaimed for their choral work on the October Sunday evening broadcasts of the Catholic Hour over N. B. C. with Mr. Engargiola as soloist.

Since then the Glee Club has been heard on several occasions at the college. DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR the National Federation of Catholic College Students conducts a relief campaign to alleviate the suffering of the college students in Europe.

The Menu Improve For May By ELSA STEINBERGER Food Editor Although some foods show an increase in prices, more than a score of items appear on the plentiful list for May, according to reports from the Department of Agriculture, Production and Marketing Administration, Food Distribution Programs Branch. Their ample low and moderate price supply them intorothe SO the thrifty homemaker will make the most of them. All classes of chicken are expected to be plentiful. Duck, too, is a smart selection.

Frozen. birds are at record high levels of supply. The shipments of fresh ducks during May are, expected weekly. Eggs will probably be high on the list for this month, as will be the supply of fresh fish (the more plentiful haul reflecting the more favorable Spring weather). fish stocks considerably higher than the five-year average for this period.

This is welcome news, as the increasing cost of meats has made the price of the main protein dish a substantial one unless these fine meat alternates are used fre- quently. Potatoes Plentiful Among the vegetables, cab- bages, cauliflower and lettuce may be used hot or cold. Celery, too, may be used either way. Irish potatoes are expected to be abundant, with those from California estimated at near-record levels. The list of canned goods mentions peas and grades; four forms of tomatoes (juice, catsup, paste and puree); canned pumpkin and canned sweet potatoes (either may be served in many ways as a vegetable, in pies, custards, souffles).

He is not only charged with the responsibility of study, something our American student finds difficult, but 1 he must compete with thousands upon thousands of other ill-clothed and starving Europeans, to live. He suffers the pangs of hunger and cold and goes without shelter. With this in mind the Glee Club is giving this concert to aid the student relief campaign.

THE MOTION PICTURE COUNCIL for Brooklyn was too busy during the war years to concentrate on a card party, what with. Red Cross, U. S. O. and other ward activities, as well as alertness as to the type of motion pictures being shown to the boys in service.

But last week it made up for that non-cardless period. The Groups sponsored a very successful bridge under the chairmanship of Mrs. B. Cutler King. Mrs.

Lewis P. Addoms, general chairman of the council, welcomed the guests and gave a short resume of the aims and accomplishments of the council. The guests were so impressed that many of the membership applications which were left on the table were filled, much to the delight of the council members. At the next meeting, which will be held on May 17 at 295 Schermerhorn St. the board members will view a motion picture obtained through the efforts of Miss Mary Power.

The Motion Picture Council's duties are most esting just ask a member. natural DEAR MARY HAWORTH-My is ceil- still in the armed forces, months ago and now he is to merchan- and will be gone at the time to have a baby-in June the or July. up in He is sending her to stay each with us, as he feels she shouldn't be all alone, and after the baby arrives he expects to get home for month's leave before being sent abroad -or "shipped over," as he calls it. He wants Nora and the baby to live with us. Should She Treat Girl as Daughter? We run a large farm and have a large modern home and we are willing to help them that much, but we wife and it will be like taking I will have my father 84, whose health is failing through the climacteric, I son, who is, got married some being sent to Alaska his wife, Nora, is Mary Haworth though physically well.

Give Girl 'Place' in Family Picture have never met his in a total stranger. here, too- -an old man, and as I am passing am quite nervous, F. S. Picture DEAR F. -Your letter was posted the first of the month and reached this office 20 days later, so I assume your daughter-in-law is with you by now, and I hope you received her as fondly as if she had been your son instead, but with an extra edge of sympathy in view of her lonely, awkward plight.

Forget the old saying, "No house is big enough for two women," and take as your motto the lovelier one, "A heart as big as all outdoors." Since Nora is to be with you for at least a year, make a real place for her in the home right off, and by a real place, I mean: 1. A room of her own, big enough (if possible) to accommodate the baby's things later, unless you have two adjoining rooms to spare for that purpose. Win Her Heart With Good Will a a 2. A working relationship to the householdroutine chores suited to her condition and abilities-agreeably clarified, so that she'll know how to be useful in terms acceptable to you, without overdoing or seeming to be shirker. Caring for her room, setting and clearing the table, helping with the dishes, doing light cleaning, feeding poultry, gathering eggs, as trained-these, on regular schedule, would be fair: and a "lift" to her self-esteem in the circumstances if she is a stanch character.

3. Sensible proffer of leisure and privacy; kindly, sincere assurance that she is to feel "at home," and that, with regular chores done, she may feel free to spend her leisure as she likes, either "to herself," in privacy in her room or elsewhere about the house and grounds, or with the family in any sociability or town trips it is planning, for church, movies, shopping, etc. In brief, respect her individuality, allow her marginal freedom of action, as a matter of course. Unless you feel instant rapport with Nora, don't assume the familiarity of treating her as a daughter, since the strain of uncertain pretense in that particular would cause both to behave unnaturally. Rather, accept her in friendly spirit and let your good will, from first to last, win her trust completely in the year ahead.
