Springfield, Mass, May. l6-Here in Springfield,
folks living democracy, instead Of theorizng
about 1T. They figure that If democracy and toler
worth fighting and dying for, they are also
worth living and working for. And SO, for the past
two years. this manufacturing city has been
forging peaceful weapons to safeguard the way Of
living that democracy" and tolerance" imply.
There is nothing mysterious about the Springfield
program. 1t simply puts those two words into &C
lion Educators take democracy" out Of the class
rooms dry textbooks and put 1t into daily living.

The program was suggested by the National Con-

Protestants, Catholics and Jews which was founded

How would you like to wander
into crowd Of 200 servicemen
guffawing at joke not meant for
a girl reporter at Saturday after
noon party at the National Press
Club?
And how would you like it if the
jokester--Leon Henderson-stopped
short on seeing you-a woman
and then have Mr.. Henderson look
little sheepish and have the eyes
of every soldier, sailor and marine
in the whole auditorium turned on
you, saying silently, "Scram, so Mr..
Henderson can finish his joke?"
That was the result of an assign
ment given this reporter yesterday.
Innocently she tripped down the
hall of the thirteenth floor of the

ish sailors, anticipating run-of-
the-mill servicemen's canteen.

The sound of gruff laughter with
In the auditorium did not deter her.
She elbowed her way through the
crowd of American. British and
Canadian servicemen and peered
reportorially at the stage, expecting
to take down the words of the large
and smiling price administrator.
Then two truths dawned in one
awful moment. First, the man on
the stage, Mr. Henderson, was telling
an off -the-record joke. Second,
every soldier, sailor and marine in
the room was well aware of 1t and
of Mr.. Henderson's embarrassment
on seeing an univited female in the
stag gathering.
H. r. Baukhage, the radio COM
mentator, in a large white apron
came to the rescue muttering, mo
place for a woman-come on back
here to the lobby. I'll help you get
your story. They usually send men
reporters to the Press Club"
Termed the "grandest party Of it's
kind I've been to-a great morale
builder" by Rear Admiral William
Brett Young, who appeared after
Mr.. Henderson to address the men,
the party given by the American
Legion Post, No. 20, of the Press
