It's Up To The
Women
BY Ruth Taylor

This is just for the women-but
1t Is q call to arms!
Our men are going out to fight,
whether they go into the armed
forces or into the factories busy
turning out the weapons of de-
Tense, we women have work to
do. too, in the factories, on the
farms, freeing men for the task
of fighting.
There is one other job, however,
which is peculiarly our own and
which we can do no matter how
tied down we are, and no matter
how little money or time we have.
The most serious effect of war
is never on the generation fight
ing it but on the generation fol-
lowing. The tension, excitement,
disruption of regular living falls
hardest on them, for they have
not had the background, the bitter
knowledge with which to properly
evaluate happenings. Even when
they do not show any immediate
effect, fears, inhibitions and hat
reds can be started which may
well scar young minds permanent
ly. We all know how childhood
memories endure. Remember that
Hitler's first followers were the
warped children of the last war.
And those who faltered and ham,
pered and hindered in other lands
were children when the guns
roared before.
It is up to the women to guard
the minds of the children, not by
shutting them away from the
truth but by teaching and training
them to see clearly and without
fear. The women must keep the
light of faith burning. They must
never be too occupied to scotch
the first signs of subversive prop
uganda. They must teach those
who look to them for guidance
the destructive influence of this
propaganda which advocates ra-
cial discrimination and religious
intolerance. They must keep their
children from bitterness and hat
red. They must educate them in
understanding, to shun the evil
act because it is evil, not because
it is against them. They must
use the war as clarion call to
noble ideals and high standards
of neighborliness.
But the three principal gifts
they must give to the children are
peace, love, and happiness at
home. This requires self-discipline,
it is not dependent upon material
things. It takes so little to make
a child happy, and home where
there is peace, quiet, and cheer
full voices and unfailing love will
immunize child against fear.
We may be anxious, we may
be afraid, we may be sad, but
we can keep that to ourselves and
not shadow our childrens' lives.
They are the ones for whom we
are fighting and sacrificing. They
are the ones who will rule that
better world of tomorrow we are
fighting to give hem. It is not

Garfield Graduate

Among the many graduates of
Garfield high school is Robert
Johnson, 1872 oath Ave. No.
Roberts course through school
was not paved with roses. His
ambition is of the sterner stuff.
He combined work with study. He
served the N. Y. A. as office clerk
and bookkeeper. He holds a posi-
ton as sub clerk in the Postal
Department at the Terminal Sta
ton, King Street.
Should Robert Johnson be call
ed to the colors, his special quail
fications will make him eligible

Tax and Zoning Changes
Backed by Stubblefield
Friendship Leader
Favors Sales Levy
To Raise Money
BY CAMBRIDGE CRIST.


If Bruce Stubblefeld, civic worker
of the Friendship area, had his
way there would be several sharp
changes in the tax and zoning meth
DDS of the city.
Washington is natural for a
sales tax" Mr.. Stubblefield, delegate
to the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations, said yesterday. Favoring
such a levy in place of real estate
taxes on homesteads, he argued that
Washington has a large transient
population, which uses municipal
facilities and receives protection
without having to pay tax.
One Of the Southern States, he
said, had pulled itself out of debt
in three years with sales tax
and placed itself on a cash basis.
In regard to zoning, Mr.. Stubble-
field said he believed that no zoning
change should be made without the
consent Of at least a majority of
the property owners. Such zoning
laws, he said. had worked well in
other States. In some instances,
he explained. it is necessary to OBJ
tain the consent of a majority or
two-thirds Of the property owners
before changing the zoning.
Son of a Missionary.
1t Is not fair, Mr.. Stubblefield
contended, for people who invested
perhaps their life savings-in
property in restricted area to
have the zoning altered without their
consent. He implied that the pres
ent system of hearing is not
sufficient.
Mr. Stubblefield came here from
Oklahoma in 1885 and has been a
member of the citizens associa-
ton since 1886. His father, mis-
sionary of the Baptist church, was
one of the first four white men to
enter the Indian Territory there, he
said. Mr.. Stubblefield himself was
born in the old Indian Territory.
A member of the American Legion
having served in the Navy during
the First World War, he has de-
voted % years of his life to veterans
affairs. In Oklahoma he was a
State employe, serving as State serv-
ice officer. working under the Sol
diers Relief Commission. For sew
eral years he operated a hospital
for the commission.
Mr.. Stubblefield said he would fol-
low the precedent of the association
in not succeeding himself as a dele
gate.

might we'll have been more pre-.
ventative than remedial had they
been made continuously as q matter
of course. But though the blame
may officially rest with the city
heads it would not have arisen had
the department heads in question
been able to keep their houses in
good order.
OF course there are defensive
replies to what has happened. Ju-
risdictions are too large. too de-
centralized, to be supervised ade~
quately by the executive. The adj
ministrators are too busy to MAIN
tain such constant personal check
as is desirable. Visits to institu-
tions are overrated in value and
reports of officials on the spot are
just as good.
But somehow these excuses are
never accepted when an explosion
occurs. The public expects good
stewardship of its funds.
Among District chiefs keeping a
notably close watch over their
departments are Capt. H. c. White
hurst, director of highways; Maj.
J. Blake Gordon, the sanitary en-
gineer, who directs the Sewer De-
partment; Budget Officer Walter

Washington could not get along
without its leveling quips-the little
jokes that bring the mighty down
to earth to join those of lesser
stature. The former active reporter
and radio commentator, Elmer
Davis, newly appointed director of
the United States Information Serv-
ices, is described as the man whom
every one has heard and whom no
one knows" While it is true that
not many members Of the working
press in Washington know him per-
sonally, his journalistic reputation
is of the highest and his appoint
ment was unanimously approved.
In spite of this fact, however, it
is already perfectly apparent that
Mr.. Davis is going to have his share
of Washington jitters and frustra-
tions. The remark has already been
made that the Capital of the United
States is perfectly guaranteed
against Axis bombs by the presence
of its multitude of bureaucrats; that
the Axis is too intelligent to risk
dispensing such an important asset.
Mr.. Davis has just stepped into
the midst of this administrative
fypaper and is already finding it
sticky.
A Ready-Made Personnel.
Before arriving in Washington
Mr.. Davis had decided to use a new
broom to get rid of excess personnel
and superf1uous word twisters and
to bring in some practical-minded
men of his own pattern. The direc-
tor of information has found, how
ever, that he has inherited ready
made personnel composed of men
who used to belong to Col. Dono-
vans Col, Archibald MacLeish S
OFF and Lowell Melett's Office of
Government Reports. On the CO.
lossal information roster handed to
Mr.. Davis were proteges of the
White House, of Harry Hopkins and
influential friends of Senators and
representatives. Purging the list is
something like pulling teeth with
out an anesthetic.
Added to the personnel troubles
of the new director is the delicate
and subtle problem of deciding what
to release and what not to release
to the news-hungry public. Some
heads of services lean toward COM
plete obscurity on the news front
as the only safe policy in war time
Others believe in giving the public

Red Cross Seeks Volunteers
To Fold Surgical DRESSINGS

The District Red Cross yesterday
appealed for hundreds" of new
volunteers to fold surgical dressings
to meet a call for an unprecedented
quota" asked by the Army.
Officials said that while the exact
number of dressings needed cannot
be disclosed for military reasons,
the quantity is "the largest in Red
Cross history" The need for volun-
teers must be met at once, said Mrs.
Brown Harbold, chairman in charge
OF surgical dressings.
The dressings are made at Walsh
House, 2020 Massachusetts avenue
NV. Volunteers should call Ho-
bart $500, branch 4.
Additional workers may be added
to those operating every day and
night except Friday afternoon, Sat-
urday and Sunday, Mrs. Harbold
said. Special arrangements can be
made for new units to work Friday
afternoon and evening and Satur-
day, she said.
