Utility Firelllen
Needed TO Open
Defense Houses

During the past week further
explanation has been given in re-
gard to the eligibility require
ments for residence in the re-
manning defense homes in Green
belt. 1t is understood that only
essential war workers in Govern
ment agencies which have been
classified in the first four priori-
ties will be permitted to register
for the homes.
Applications and explanatory
material is being distributed
through the War Housing Center,
14th and Pennsylvania Avenue.
The houses, although complete,
have not been turned over to the
local Defense Selection Office at
7-A Southway for renting because
OF the lack of utility fremen to
operate the heating plants in each
group. Miss Harriette Tanner, in
charge of the defense portion of
the selection office, announced
Tuesday that at that time only
two of the necessary four fire
men had been secured. The local
maintenance office is exhausting
all possibilities to obtain these
men and hope to be able to have
heat in the houses by next week.
There are about 400 units in
this last group of new homes. All
are located in the extreme north
ern section of Greenbelt, on Re-
search Road, Laurel Hill Road.
and on the new extensions of Hill
side Road and Ridge Road. When
these are filled the population of
Greenbelt will include more than
1900 families.

Must Get Attention

Long-hour confinement of the

and lack of physical education
program for all were blamed by DR.
William Thornwall Davis, chief
surgeon of the eye service and

Nations heavy losses on the field of
battle.
DR.. Davis, speaking yesterday at
the annual meeting of the District
Of Columbia Society for the Pre-
vention of Blindness at the YWCA,
declared the outbreak of the war
found this Nation with its youth
unprepared physically to be soldiers.
The fault, he stated, goes back to
the childhood of the present soldier
when the country's school system
failed to establish an equality be-
tween mental and physical educa-
ton.
1--WE kept them shut up in the
classrooms for hours, away from
sunshine and fresh air and exercise
and under these conditions we can't
expect them to be vigorous DR..
Davis said.
Would Equalize Situation.
Just as Switzerland does, this
country must place as much en-
phasis on the body building of its
youth as on mental education of the
student, he contir"ed.
balanced Nation, he said, training
of the body as we'll. as the mind,
must start in the first grade and
continue through the college and
university.
Our present day physical educa-
ton programs. he said, glorifies a
few student athletes, but fails to
reach into the entire student body.
CLOUD glare" which frequently
strikes aviators at high attitudes,
and visual impairment from BLACK
light" instruments of airplanes
were listed by DR.. Davis as the
greatest dangers to eyesight in this
war.
Eye injuries from shell splinters
on the battlefield also are casualties
that as yet military surgery has
not been able to care for until the
victims are hospitalized, he said.

asked, "Wky all this football en-

HEY! UNLESS you intend
staying up with that tapestry, you
better take out that last tack"
Ken grinned from the doorway.
Mary glanced about startled,
then laughed. She saw that she had
indeed caught the edge Of the blue
sleeve Of her dressing gown be-
meath the invisible tack she was
using to hold the Chinese tapestry
in place. She had done it when she
turned to see who was coming in
the door. She told him it would
have been entirely his fault.
Not that you wouldn't add to
the decoration" Ken observed nd
miringly. approaching the slim,
blue-robed figure. whose golden red
hair was aureoled by the aged yell
low tapestry. You look like

helped her down from the low teak
wood chest. THAT sounds like
counter espionage to me. Come on,
I want you to see what we've done

She led him proudly through the
transformed apartment. Ken whis-

small ivory and jade figurines that
were separating the books on the
