BETA SIGMA PHI
MET LAST WEEK
Believing with Jonathan Swift,
that, “Good manners is the art of
making people easy with whom
we converse,” the Kappa Chapter
of Beta Sigma Phi took for their
study the subject of “Introduc
tions and Invitations” when they
met last Thursday evening. Miss
Gertrude Rode and Mrs. Isak Jen
sen cordially entertained the group
in the lovely nurses’ quarters of j
the local hospital, where members'
were especially pleased to have as
their first guest of the sorority,'
Miss Hazel Hanson, chief nurse of |
Maynard-McDougall Memo rial
Hospital.
Miss Eileen Uttech, who' had re
cently completed a tour of Alaska
villages north as far as Barrow,
via the North Star, in her capacity
as district representative of the
department of public welfare, gave
an extemporaneous account of her
trip, which was both enthusiastic
and informative.
Both Mrs. Gerald Modrow,
whose subject was “Introduc
tions,” and Miss Edna Miller, wso
spoke on “Invitation,” presented
their topics in an able manner de
signed to be provocative to the
livclv group discussion which fol
. c . j
lowed
i
Beta Sigma Phi’s current “Torch
Girl,” Miss Mary Rdfcll, spoke
briefly but effectively on “Perfec
tion,” pointing out how it is often
true that the very imperfections
of life can often make for perfec
tion by bringing out the best in
both physical and human nature
After the program and the busi-!
ness meeting conducted by Mrs.
James McLean, president, the
Beta Sigma Phi’s enjoyed a social
session complete with delectable
heart-shaped cakes, butter cook- \
ies, and coffee, prepared and serv
ed by their evening’s hostesses.

throwing. About 30 police were
hurt in the skirmishes.
Meanwhile, the people of Sov-j
iet-encireled Berlin received as- j
surance yesterday from President
Truman of continued aid to keep

public to join the free of the world
in defense of all that we cherish.” j
