A girls head carved in wood and
a pottery vase rest on shelves in q
Washington settlement house
symbols of surprising discoveries
made by two people.
These people came to the settle
ment with not thought of high
adventure, but they found it in as
full a measure as the explorer OF
unmapped lands, for they came
upon a chance to explore them
selves. The two, a young girl and
mature woman, were seeking some
thing to do with leisure time. They
could not afford to patronize COM
merical entertainment features ex-
cept on rare occasions. They came
to the settlement.
Wood carving never had con-
cerned the young girl previously
She had admired sculpture and
paintings, marveled at the achieve
ments of people with talent" There
was a wood-carving group at the
settlement. The young girl hap
pened upon it, picked up one of the
tools of the art for the first time in
her life. To her amazement, the
knife followed the pattern of the
face she envisioned in the wood. For
her the settlement was a place OF
discovery.
Persuaded to Try.
The mature woman thought she
would like to work with her hands
in clay and was attracted to the
settlement because of its pottery
group. She was introduced to the
adult section, and, after seeing their
work, protested, "Oh, couldn't dc
anything like that! meant
thought I'd like making some of the
simple little things with the chill
dren"
She was persuaded to try, how
ever, and her first effort was the
attractive vase now included among
the houses most cherished exhibits
For her, too, the settlement was
place of discovery.
Opportunity to find a part OF
themselves they did not know exist
ed was provided these two people
by Friendship House, which has
served Southeast Washington since
1904, progressing from a two-room
establishment to the present So
room building at 619 D street Sc.
The popular conception OF SET
tlemen house-a dingy, crowded re-
lief establishment-is not to be
found there, for Friendship House
is a place Of refreshing attractive
ness, IMPLYING Its primary aim
to be a good neighbor," under

Freedom Of Press
Declared Vital 10
National Morale
Six Prominent Speakers
Back Principle in
Forum of the Air

Freedom of the press is essential
to development of national morale
six prominent speakers on the Amer
lean Forum of the Air agreed last
night during a broadcast from the
Hotel Willard.
The torch of mankind must be
kept alight by free reporting of all
that concerns mankind" said Arthur
T. Robb, editor of Editor and Pub
Usher. He insisted that news should
be published at all times, that sup
preston of damaging news is I'M
wise from national morale stand
point. One of the secrets of the
Churchill governments success in
England. Mr.. Robb commended. is its
policy of telling the people the
worst"
Morale Agency Proposed.
Edward L. Bernays, publicist, pro-
posed that national morale agency
or committee be established to pro-
vide the fullest information on how
democratic principles do or should
function in schools, business firms
and civic, charity and other organ
izations in which public welfare are
concerned.
The question of just who is
going to determine what these
democratic principles are was raised
by Leon Henderson, Securities and
Exchange commissioner and member
of the National Defense Commits
sion. He pointed out that any gov
ernmental agency to which such a
task might be assigned possibly
would be influenced by a desire to
favor principles of the political party
that created the agency.
Dykstra Speaks.
Clarence A. Dykstra, national
director of Selective service, expressed
the opinion that American morale
is stronger today among the youth
and the older generations than it
has been within the memory of any
who are participating in this dis
cussion." Basis for this assertion
he said, is that the Nation is blend
ing its man power, natural resources
and industrial equipment into a
powerful defense program without
losing the country's essential
democracy.
Other participants in the Mutual
network coast-to-coast broadcast
over which THEODORE Crank presided
as chairman, were Russell Daven-
port, managing editor of Fortune
Magazine, and Ordway Tead, author
