first as chairman Of volunteer
special services for the Clarke
County (vao Chapter, and since
a year ago last August an as
sistant director of the National
Red Cross in charge of the can
teen corps. She has done and
still is doing a marvellous Job, too.
And right now the canteen corps
is one of the most important and
far-reaching in the entire or
ganization.
It was just II years ago that
Mr.. Dougherty gave up his
brokerage business In Philadel-
phia and with his family moved
to Berryville, Va, and took up
the business Of serious farming.
They bought a lovely old farm
house, remodeled 1t and stocked
the farm. Mrs. Dougherty had a
taste of organization work as
head of the Society for Prohibi-
ton Repeal in Pennsylvania so
she soon found herself active in
public health work and president
of the Women's Auxiliary of the
Episcopal Church in her new Vir-
ginia home. The Red Cross work
followed and when Mrs. Dwight
Davis offered her the important
Job of director of canteen, she
took to it like duck to water.
When her husband was COM
missioned major in the United
States Army (now overseas), Mrs.
Dougherty moved up to Wash
ington to be nearer her work and
went to live in Chevy Chase,
where she shares house with
another Army widow" Gas ra-
tioning holds no terror for her.
She not only uses bus daily to
60 to and from her Office at Ma
tional Red Cross headquarters,
but takes the Berryville bus
whenever she goes back home for
the week end. Her married son,
Graham, jr., and his young wife
are living in Berryville, farming
the family's place. A married
daughter, Mrs. William Bell Wat
kins, jr. (whose husband recently
enlisted in the Navy, lives close
by and runs a grist mill and
slaughter house. (There's no fool

ertys take to farmingD Another

Have you ever checked up on how

don't mean to be an alarmist, but
vandalism is increasing in motion
picture houses and somebody's chill

ayers complain of the destruction
of seats, curtains and other fittings
by juvenile jitterbugs. One of them

You may think it couldn't posi-

I'm sure you'll agree that the To-
cal motion picture theater brings
too much pleasure to your whole
family not to receive your help in
putting a stop to this regrettable be-
havior on the part of thoughtless
boys and girls. But the danger goes
farther than the theater mans loss,
for it is but one evidence of war
time psychosis which inevitably
leads to a rise in juvenile delin-
quency. England has been through
all this, especially in World War I
when the fighting was farther from
her shores, as it is today from our
own, so that wars excitement and
brutality came through to those at
