WOnen's
Club
"Good Neighbor"
Events to Be
Emphasized

Efforts to strengthen the relation
ship between the people OF North
and South America are regarded as
an important defense measure and
will be given emphasis on several
fronts during her administration as
president of the General Fedora
ton of Womens Clubs, Mrs. John
L. Whitehurst declared last week.
Mrs. Whitehurst informally out
lined some of the Federation's plans
at the Pan-American Union, where
she visited the exhibition of mate
rial assembled during the imaginary
good neighbor tours" conducted
last year by the union in co-opera-
ton with the Federation's interna-
tional relations department.
This study program, which will be
continued by the Pan-Amerlcan
Union this year on a revised and en-
larged scale for clubs and study
groups throughout the country, will
continue to have the support of
the federated clubs, Mrs. White
hurst declared
Good Neighbor Tour Planned.
Something in the way of a real
good neighbor" tour to Mexico City
is being planned in connection with
the federation's convention next
year at Fort Worth, Tex. Mrs.
Whitehurst added. The convention
is being held at Fort Worth so that
such trip can be arranged, she
pointed out.
A n-American theme will be
carried out in all the convention
entertainment and the music and
art of the Americas will be fea-
tured in the programs.
Mrs. Whitehurst also is hoping
that arrangements can be made to
have some of the clubwomen of the
various Latin American countries
attend as special guests.
The General Federation president
also disclosed that a woman from
each of the Latin American repub-
lies Is being asked to serve as adviser
to the federation on its Latin Amer
lean program.
In the department setup this year
the strengthening of the relation
ship between the people of North
and South America is listed as the
special project of the international
relations department, while the fine
arts department will stress the fine
arts of the Americas.
Exhibition to Continue.
Mrs. Whitehurst was delighted
with the exhibition at the PAN
American Union, which will remain
on display until September 10.
Greeted by DR.. William Manger,
counselor of the union, and Paul w.
Murphy, chief of special events, she
expressed particular interest in the
scrapbooks which had been made
by clubwomen as a result OF their
tour Of Latin American countries.
She also was impressed with an
exhibition on Three Centuries of
American Painting" which was pre-
pared by the evening group of the
Women's Club of Leonia. N. J. This
collection will be sent to a South
American University.
Seven District of Columbia Clubs
already have registered for the i'm
aglnary tours this fall and one of
them, the Columbia Heights Arts
Club, will open its study with a two
hour visit to the American
Union, it was said. At this meeting
the Pan-American Union will pro-
vide a speaker and colored moving
pictures will be shown.

How England's Girl Guides and
Brownies are helping out in their
country's war effort has been told to
groups of local Brownies recently by
Miss Ada Broad, one of the COUNSEL
ors for the day camp program OF
the District Girl Scouts this sum-
mer.
Miss Broad. who looks after the
young daughter of the Assistant
British Naval Attache, Comdr W.
S. Jameson and Mrs. Jameson, was
active in Girl Guide and Brownie
work in England for Is years be-
fore the war started and has con-
tinued her interest since her ar
rival in this country in January.
At the Brownie camp. recently
conducted at lockwood, Miss Broad
was in great demand for her knowl-
edge of international games as well
as her stories of Brownies under the
air blitz.
In the lake section of Northern
England, where she went with the
Jamesons after war began, Brownies
and Girl Guides we're very helpful
with the entertaining and care of
the many children evacuated there,
she said.
Evacuees Drink Milk
Instead of Tea Now.
The Girl Guides would meet the
evacuees on their arrival. introduce
them to their foster parents and
generally make them happy, she re-
ported.
Because there were SO many boys
as well as girls in this area they met
regularly at a community play
center" bit much of the Brownie
program was carried out there, Miss
Broad said
The importance of drinking milk
was one of the things that was
stressed among the young evacuees.
Until a year or so ago, all her Eng
lish Brownies had tea at their pic
MICS and parties, Miss Broad de-
clared.
One of the boys who came to the
lake district from an industrial cen
ter fatty refused to drink his milk at
first. she related. The youngster
explained that he liked his milk "out
of a clean tin and not from a dirty
animal"
When the blackouts were inaug-
urated the Brownies were given pals
and brushes and allowed to white
wash the curbs SO that they might
be more easily distinguished at night,
Miss Broad declared. That was q
job they all enjoyed.
Because of the paper shortage in
England, one of their biggest jobs
now is to work with the Girl Guides
in collecting and sorting waste
paper.
The girls-much to their disguest
are not permitted to do messenger
work during the air raids. This is
the job of the Boy Scouts, Miss
Broad said.
The boys and girls must always
carry their gas masks, of course, and
have periodic drills when they put
them on and go to the air shelters.
One of the youngsters enjoys these
very much because when the teacher
puts on her mask "she looks 20
funny"

NEW YORK, March 19.-The
scores Of the opening games were
high. but the real point-getters of
the fourth intercollegiate invitation

action tonight.
Frank Keaney's Rhode Island State
team is supposed to be an outstand-

achieved considerable fame as a

Rhode Islands opponent is un-

up scoring opportunities when the
opposing defense is wide open.
The other game tonight sends

COLUMBIA, S. c., March 19.-
Dispose, the sleek and speedy bay
colt now a Al favorite to win the
Kentucky Derby, has come long
way since he was shipped here last
fall for winter training chores.
Injuries in one form or another
kept Dispose from racing more than
five times as 2-year-old. To COM
plcate his prospects, the colt de-
veloped a tendency to run out and
had to be trained the wrong way of
the track.
Habit Apparently Broken.
Now the son of Discovery -Swiftply
although still regarded as tempera-
mental and nervous, apparently has
been broken of the bad habit. He
was a sensation at Hialeah Park
winning the Bahamas Handicap and
the $4,000 Flamingo Stakes.
Max Hirsch, who trains Dispose
for Richard j. Kleburg's King Ranch
Stable, disclosed that Dispose ran
most of the distance in the Flamingo
with only three shoes. "I don't know
where Dispose lost that shoe" he
said, "but I wouldn't be surprised il
1t was in the first turn.
"The shoe may have been looSened
MT the barrier. At any rate, the
horse suffered no i'll effects that

Concerning the colts tendency to
rin out, Hirsch said sometimes an
trlitsry or a bruise will make horse

Charlotte and, what with one thing
or another. he wasn't much account
there, either. When he came to camp
this year he wasn't given much of
tumble, at first. Now he's hot
stuff.
Before getting on with this Dean
business, the four pitchers who are
on their way are Carl Twyble, Bill

Cleary. They had been untested

had left for the major minor meet
ing in st. Petersburg. Harris called
the game off and Messrs. Twyble
Cleary, Zinser and Poydock needed
nobody to tell them that Charlotte
Greenville and other places were
calling them.
In the meantime, James Mallory
came to camp. Any Virginian or
Carolinian who follows football
knows about Mallory. He quit play
ing for North Carolina as a Junior
so that he wouldn't be hurt for base
ball. If he had completed his senior
year the young man was a cinch
to be an all-America end.

Mallory came to the Mats straight
from college Che still has to finish
his final semester). He was big
league stuff in the raw. Bosses Har-
ris and Griffith agreed, but he COL
lected an intestinal ailment over the
winter. Now he is down for the ride
only. He just got out of the hos
pital, is II pounds underweight, and
he hopes the sun shines for next 10
days so that he can recuperate
enough to join whatever farm team
is willed.
To get back, now, to Mr.. Dopey
Dean-if looks as if he will come
North with the club again. Just
before he left. Griffith waxed lyrical
about him. Hes one of the few
young pitchers I've ever seen who
can cover up his pitches without a
lot of effort" He said, even Hud-
son couldn't do it. The Red Sox
and the Tigers called Hudson's
pitches all last season. Deans got
knuckler and even when he throws
this pitch you can't tell it in ad-
vance. That's more than Leonard
does, yet"
Griff reflected a moment. "Ex-
cept," he qualified, 'Leonard's
knuckler does such funny things
that it doesn't make any difference
if the hitter knows it's coming up"
All of which sounds like a build
up for the whacky man from Ara
gon. How long he will last in WASH
ington is conjectural but he will
reach Washington again.
