to-" Mr.. Henderson tries to get
home for dinner with his family,

one with him to talk business, he
discusses current events with his
two young daughter, Beebe, II, and
Lyn, 8, who go to John Quincy
Adams School and have to keep up
with the news for their classwork.
Mrs. Henderson thinks Lyn is in
clined to quote her father, but not
Beebe, who declared with some firm
ness the other day. II think there's
too much publicity about daddy"
That was after Mr.. Henderson ap-
peared in the newsreels on a BIZ
cycle.
She Is Air Raid Warden.
When Mr.. Henderson is working
which is almost every night-his
wife has her job. too. She's the
afraid warden for her block.
Tall and slim. Mrs. Henderson
likes color in her dresses. She wore
red, white and blue ribbon in her
brown hair when she was inter-
viewed.
She was born and brought up in
Harrisburg, Pa, where, she said,
there were few opportunities in
those days for young women to get
jobs outside the State government
or on the society pages of the local
newspapers. Her daughters, she
said, will have careers.
She attended Barnard College and
met Mr.. Henderson when he was
deputy secretary of State under Gov.
Pinchot. They were married, after a
short courtship. in 1925 and came
to Washington with the N. R. A.
The only servants in the Hender-
son home are the cook and an elder
ly laundress who helps with the
houSework.
Just Keeps "Fussing Around
During the winter Mrs. Henderson
keeps fussing around at this and
that"-including flrst-aid and mo-
tor corps courses under the Ameri-
can Women's Voluntary Services. In
the summer, she watches the chill
dren swim and rescues the sailboat
when 1t upsets."
The living room of the Henderson
home actually looks lived in. One
side of it is lined with books. On
the large radio-Victrola are stacks
of popular records. Ash trays are
scattered about.
An eaSy-going hostess, Mrs. Hen
derson does less entertaining than
in pre-war days but there always
seems to be people around."
She likes being an AFRAID warden
for her block
"It's so neighborly," she smiled.

Bill Would Give Fairfax
Control Of Fire Funds
Special pispatch to The Star.


FAIRFAX, Va, Feb. 16.-The
Board of Supervisors would be given
greater discretion in apportioning
the county fire levy among the fire
departments, under terms of a bill
to be introduced this week in the
General Assembly by Delegate
Robert j. McCandlish, jr., Of Fair
fax County.
It Is felt that the board should
have greater latitude in allocating
the fire levy because Of different
conditions which exist in various
sections Of the county. The funds
are now distributed on a pro-rata
basis, but the proposed legislation
would authorized the supervisors to
apportion the funds according to
the needs of a community and also
on a ratio of the type of service
rendered.
Other legislation to be introduced
this week by Mr.. McCandlish will
provide for appointment of police
men for indefinite terms to replace
the annual appointments now made,
and an act to authorize the super
visors to levy a tax against trailer
camp operators.
Senator William D. Medley of
Arlington said he has been requested
to amend the proposed police bill
for Fairfax County so as to make it
applicable to Prince William County
as well.

Bette Gay can't focus on objects
yet, but she looks around when
she hears any noise. She tugs at
her hair like any normal baby and
can be induced to smile with slight
encouragement.
When the Bonbrests brought their
prize package home yesterday. their
big son, Demrie, aged ~, had been
sent to his grandmother's for the
day on the promise that he would
see his sister when he got home.
Last night, Demrie rushed in the
door shouting, See Gay, see Gay"
He's been warned that If he
bothers his small sister she'll have
to go back to the hospital. To avert
that, he tiptoes around and stands
at a respectful distance to peek
into the basket.
Most of the time, he finds his
sister catching up on her sleep.
