MotorcycIing Girl Has Fun
Saving Gas for Mr.. Ickes
Army Morale Division EmpIoye Even
Shares the Ride, Tokine Friend to Work

One Of the answers to Secretary
Ickes' prayer for gasoline conserva-
ton is Miss Vecilia M. Hlebanja
who not only rides a motorcycle to
and from work in the Munitions
Building six days week but also
totes" girl friend on the side
seat.
War Department officials. who
know her now as the motorcycle
girl" also venture the claim that
she is the only woman Govern
ment employe in Washington who
uses this mode of conveyance in
getting to her job.
Miss Hlebanja has been a motor
cycle fan for only about year
Last August when she received word
from the Morale Division of the
War Department that her applica-
ton for a job had been accepted
she hoped on her gas bike. The
fact that she was at her home in
Pierre, S. Oak, didn't make any
difference. Il burned up the road
and mighty little gas in getting
here" Miss Hlebanja explained.
Assigned Parking Space.
At 7::5o am. each day Miss He
banja and her girl friend, Miss
Bessie johnson, another war clerk
leave their rooms at 628 E street
NE. Over her Office costume she
slips a coverall.
Weaving in and out of traffic
she first leaves Miss johnson at the
Social Security Building and then
goes direct 10 the Munitions Build
ing and the regular parking space
that has been allotted to her.
Evening star., 1941-09-29

When she first came to work in
her coverall costume, Miss Hlebanja
was mistaken by employees for a
member of some special women's
corps When she arrives in the
building she makes a bee-line to
the rest room and in few minutes
emerges well-dressed young
woman.
That part is easy" she explained.
II just wear the coverall over my
regular dress, any which way"
That motorcycle gives me any
where from 36 to SIS miles to a
gallon of gasoline" she claims
proudly. She doesn't use more than
a couple of gallons a week at the
most in getting to and from her
job.
Also a Motorcyclist.
Miss johnson is also a motor
cyclist She rode to Washington
from South Dakota and returned
last summer. Another girl friend
is coming here soon and the three
of them will organize a motor
cycle club and go places on Sum-
days.
In Pierre, Miss Hlebanja worked
In the Office of the Secretary of
State: Miss Johnson in the Rural
Credit Department of the State De-
partment. The former lived out
side the capital and began riding
her motorcycle to work for conven-
ience.
When she came to the National
Capital she didn't see why she
should change her practice. Be

Weather Fine for SoxopI,oning,
Pop Concert Artist Declares
Roscher Reheurses:
Says Cool Spell
Bors Fuzzy Tones

It's perfect weather for saxophon-
ing, according to Sigurd Rascher,
as he rehearsed this morning for
the National Symphony's third pop
concert tonight at Riverside Sta
dium.
The air is fine, just right" he
declared. pointing to a slender reed
of bamboo cane, from whose vibra-
tions the saXophone virtuoso brings
forth four octaves of music.
When it's too hot and humid"
he explained" the reed gets so soft
that it is likely to make tones fuzzy"
Mr.. Rascher, who was born 33
years ago in Berlin of a Swedish
father and an English mother, is
making his second appearance as
Soloist with the orchestra. He will
play "Saxo-Rhapsody" written for
him and dedicated to him by the
composer, Eric Coates. Mr.. Rascher
has played with more than 100
orcheStras throughout the world
and was first heard in the United
States in the 1939-40 season when
he appeared as soloiSt with the
Boston Symphony, New York Phil
harmonic Symphony and National
Symphony.
Cans Congratulates Rascher.
During rehearsal when Mr.. Rascher
waved his shock of red hair in a
not too artistic manner, Rudolph
Cans, guest conductor, led the Or
chestra through the saxophone
and at the conclusion
warmly congratulated the artist.
Mr.. Cans will conduct two-thirds of
the concert while Howard Mitchell,
first celliSt of the orchestra, will
conduct one-third, between inter-
missions, making his debut as a
conductor.
The cellist thinks it would be
easier to lead a strange orchestra
than one consisting of his friends
and associates with whom he al
ready has played for eight seasons.
Il was nervous as a cat the other
day" he admitted, when I began
conducting for the first time, but
after the first 10 minutes everything
was all right"

New D. C.. Rules
| Limit Signs in
Liquor Stores

Regulations limiting all District
liquor licensees to 10 square feet
of sign for every so feet of street
frontage went into effect last night.
Police officials were advised of the
change in a special memorandum
from Chairman Thomas E. Lodge
of the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board.
The ruling is the last to become
effective of about 10 amendments
and new regulations approved by
the Commissioners earlier in the
year.
One other new change pending
before the city heads calls for
nger-printing by the Police De-
partment not only of liquor licensees
but of nearly all other persons
granted permits by the District
government.
Originally, the new plan suggested
photographing as well as finger
printing, but police officials, it is un-
derstood, protested the plan would
be too costly. After a study by
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler, the
proposal is now reported to provide
only for finger-printing.

Building Morale Task
OF Recreation Heads,
President Asserts
Baltimore Congress
Hears His Message as
Convention Opens
Py TIE Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, Sept. 29.-President
Roosevelt told delegates to the De-
fense National Recreation Congress
in a message today that your great
task is to help build the morale of
the American people, now called
upon to perform an historic role"
The conference is being held in
connection with the five-day Ma
tional Recreation Congress opening
tonight with an address by Paul v.
McNutt, Federal Security admins
traitor.
In addition to regular recreation
service. he said: Il call upon you
and all recreation workers and agen-
cies to strengthen your service in
behalf of the young men in the
armed forces of the Nation. in be-
half of defense industry workers
and in behalf of the civilian popu-
lation. We are only as strong as
our morale"
The Presidents message, read at
opening of the congress by Howard
S. Bracher, executive president OF
the National Recreation Association,
declared:
The delegates will be
challenged on the very threshold of
their thinking by the fact that all
they hold dear in life, and the ideals
and principles they cherish in their
work, are threatened by a great
anti-social power.
Nevertheless, the work of the as
sociation and all of those agencies
working with it in this congress is
great asset in these critical times.
The strbins of life deepen-there is
much to crush out its joy.
But as a people we must strive
to be happy while at the same time
we train for defense or bear the
restrictions of priorities."
