WHO GAINS?

Now for today's second ques-
ton, proposed by Annie Laurie
Kirk OF Baltimore, Md.
Who gains most in marriage
man or woman?
A lot Of you thought that a
silly question. but not Mrs. Jo-
seph r. Wally, OF Chicago, H..
who comes through with this
prize winning letter.
Dear Miss Robinson:
"The one-man or woman
who gives unstintingly all the
love. patience and understand
ing his partner needs will get the
most out Of marriage. The
greatest loser Is the one who
places too little value on the ef-
forts OF his mate.
In exchange for the endless
labor that transforms house
keeping into homemaking. a
woman gains loving protection
and security. She gains natural
fulfillment through childbear-
Ing and the rearing Of children.
She also gains a far truer under
standing Of the opposite sex.
Marriage can he the ideal char
acter broadener for a woman.
a man takes on the great re-
sponsibility Of providing for
wife. home and family. but the
years ahead bring a rich return
In a feeling of stability and
peace. A wife and family to
share his joys and sorrows and
TO comfort and inspire him, re-
ward a man for all ne puts into
marriage.
ut can hardly he said that
either one gains or loses most i'm
marriage. III is the mutual
undertaking Of responsibilities
that makes IL a rich and full
partnership. the like Of which
there Is nothing In the world"

Dear Elsie:
lis love alone enough for mar

Citizens Unit 10 Seek
Pact ON Excluded Area

Members of the Randle Highlands
Citizens Association initiated
move last night to bring within the
boundaries of some citizens assocla-
ton a mo mans land" in the area
where Naylor road, Good Hope road
and Alabama avenue Sc. intersect.
Action came after John j. Watson,
president of the Anacostia Citizens
Association, guest speaker, had
pointed out that neither Anacostia,
Randle Highlands nor Hillcrest in
cluded the section in their con-
stitutional boundaries. He suggest
ed that since the current air raid
warden system was in progress,
every section of land must be con-
sidered.
Paul Mudd, who presided, sug-
eested that both the Anacostia and
Randle Highlands Associations re-
fer the matter to committee COM
posed of members from both organi-
cations. The Highlands group ap-
proved the plan and members OF
the committee are to be named
later.
Morris Clark, deputy air raid
warden and vice president of the
association told the members that
cooperation was needed in the new
civilian defense program.

Soldiers Attendance
AtRe|igious Services
Breaks Records
Average Climbs os
Facilities Increase
Chaplain Chief Reports

A record-breaking attendance Of
nearly 11,64O,OO0 at religious services
in the Army during the fiscal year
ended June 30. was reported today
by Chief Of Chaplains William r.
Arnold.
Due in part to the expanding
chapel facilities. the average at
tendance of soldiers at each service
was 978 persons compared with
only 689 averaged in the preceding
year.
Soldiers prefer their own chap
lains to visiting preachers, as in
dicated by figures which revealed
that the average congregation OF an
Army chaplain was about 125. while
visiting civilian ministers drew 81.
But this in no way discounts the
work done by civilian ministers,
Chaplain Arnold said, for many SOL
diers 60 off the post to attend
church.
The popularity of religious in
structiOn at camp is also shown by
an increase in Bible classes from 888
held the year before to 14,483 in the
period covered by the report.
Well equipped churches were vir-
tually unknown in the rapidly-groW-
ing camps whose populations sky
rocketed during the first six months
of 1941. Improvised chapels, day
rooms. mess halls, barracks, theaterS
and the outdoors itself were used as
churches. Now the Army program
of chapel at each post is well ur-
der way.
Increased community contact be-
tween the Army and civilians re-
suited, in 47,250 instances of Coop
Grafton between Army chaplains and
civilian churches, in an attendance
of 4,874, ,463 persons.

Whitehurst Urges

To Commuter Plan
Highways Committee of
Board Of Trade Is Told
Moss Transportation VitoI

Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, director
Of the District Highway Depart
ment, told a luncheon meeting of
the Highway Committee of the
Board of Trade yesterday that he
was not opposed to railroad COM
muter service, but that the problem
must be approached 'in a conserva-
tive manner" He warned that I'VE
must assure ourselves that such a
service Is in demand and will at
tract the public"
He told the meeting of his dis
eussions of the subject with railroad
officials, and pointed out that COM
muter trains are now operating, but
that the traffic had fallen off.
MY personal viewpoint is that
We do not have the right to tell peo-
pie what form of transportation to
use" he said.
Mass Transportation Vital"
Il want to make it perfectly clear
that while our report deals primar-
lily with highway problems, we have
a deep interest in all forms of trans
portation, including terminal facili-
ties" Capt Whitehurst declared.
1--WE want to encourage the use of
mass transportation. We believe it
q vital part of the problem"
George Graham told the commit
tee that the Boards Committee on
Public and Private Buildings had re-
quested subcommittee of the Traffic
and Highways Committees to meet
with its group to submit a report on
the proposal requiring applicants of
apartment house and Office building
construction permits to provide
parking facilities. Everett c. Critics,
chairman of the committee, who
presided, named John Ihlder, chair
man. and Henry Robb and Robert F..
Beresford
Sees Concentration Problem.
Mr.. 1hlder, executive director of
the Alley Dwelling Authority.
warned the committee that it should
think not only of the problem of
parking, but of the concentration of
cars in small area. Citing several
large apartment houses now being
built with parking facilities, he
raised the question of what would
happen when number of cars leave
or enter q street from a basement
garage during rush hours.
A report backing plans for recon-
struction of the railroad bridge over
the Potomac was approved.
