The furniture was gray and
delicate, the curtains of soft and
rosy taffeta-the whole atmos-
phere was one of easy, charming,
gracious living. Life was good
and life was fun.
But now the war is here and
all that is changed. Only the
valances of those frilly, luxurious
curtains remain. Severe and
practical black-out shades re-
place the lovely, sweeping hang
ings. A large workable with
such practical items as scales,
packing boxes and labels fills the
room. The chairs are small,
straight and made for business
not relaxing.
Here, every morning, under the
direction of the distinguished
and beautiful chatelaine of the
Embassy, Countess van der
Straten-Ponthoz, wife of the AM
bassador, ladies of the staff and
a handful of personal friends of
the Countess pack, weigh and
label parcels to be sent abroad
to the Belgian prisoners of war.
Into each box goes soap and a
towel, a warm, hand-knitted
sweater and scarf and mittens or
gloves, a fresh shirt, socks, ciga-
rettes and fresh handkerchiefs.
Across the hall, in what used
to be an extra downstairs sitting
room, are files and files of rec
ords of prisoners names. When
a parcel is sent, the date of ship
ment is written on that particu-
lar prisoners card.
DO these boxes really reach
Evening star., 1942-10-02

ten-Ponthoz says they have or
ders to ship them all over the
States. They range in price from
s1.5O to 81 and can be purchased
from the Belgian Embassy.
Our next question was, What
about the knitting-surely 1t
can't be all done here?" ..
NO" said the Countess. "All
over the United States, in all the
large cities, Belgians or people
sympathetic to Belgium prisoners
of war have organized centers for
work for these boxes. We send
them the wool and the directions
and they take care of the rest.
This room serves as a sort of
clearing center. Everything is
sent here to be checked, labeled
and packed. There are centers
in Chicago, Detroit, Colorado
Springs, New York and San Fran
cisco-to mention a few - ="
The thing that impresses the
Countess most In this work is the
fact that not only the ladies of
her husbands staff have worked
like Trojans but ladies from
other Embassies have pitched in
and helped wonderfully.
Just as we were about to leave,
the two small and sleek Embassy
dachshunds stepped into the
workroom. "Liechen" and
"Waldy" are their names. When
they found we were talking busi-
ness they quietly took to a corner
OF the room-only became ami
mated again as we departed
which doesn't seem to be much
OF compliment to the press.

Club which is now holding weekly
rehearsals on Thursday evenings
preparatory to the opening Of its
regular concert season.
DR.. Edward P. Donovan, who has
directed the club for more than
a score of years, is always on the
search for new talent and obtained
some excellent material from the
freshmen class. Altogether about
10 freshmen were given tryouts
and those who survived the test
joined up.
The glee club gave at least 20
concerts before Washington audi
ences last year and this program
probably will be duplicated, as we'll
as the annual spring concert in
New York City. The years officers
include James T. Fleming, jr.. of
Scranton, Pa, president; Joseph D.
Guilfoyle, of Washington, vice presi-
dent; William j. Sullivan, of john

Education Need Of Day,
Saws Seminary Head

The close relationship between
education and the war effort was
stressed yesterday by George w.
Lloyd, president Of Mount Vernon
Seminary. Each educational insti-
tuition. he said, must consider how It
can best contribute to the national
effort, whether to the immediate
need for personnel trained in the
mechanical and applied sciences re-
quired in the conduct OF modern
warfare, or in the preparation OF the
citizens of tomorrow.
IF the Nation needs the technical
expert today. it will most certainly
need the man and woman of vision
tomorrow" he said. In the urgency
of the moment we must not forget
that from the students in school
today come the citizens of the
future.
LAS we who are parents and edu-
Gators become more closely ac-
quainted with the task upon which
we are all now directly or indirectly
engaged, we begin to appreciate the
high level Of intelligence and train
