administered almost in words of

Historians believe that Arnold
first conceived the plan of betray-

against him at Philadelphia. Prob
ably with this idea in mind, he sue

Clubwomen Busy
With Other Work.
AS the more or less frivolous
functions are dropped from their
schedules, the Capitals clubwomen
md themselves buster than ever.
Claiming the lions share Of their
time these days are sewing, knitting
and bandage rolling for the Red
Cross, classes IN first aid and nutri-
ton and cooperation in the Treas
ury's Defense savings drive, to name
a few of the most popular.
Organizations keep their identity,
but scarcely an announcement
reaching the club editors desk fails
to begin or end with some mention
of various war and defense activities.
A number OF clubs also are feeling
the wars effect through the trans
fer OF members with various Fed
eral agencies out of the city.
Many Club Members

Miss Lois Garlock, its treasurer and

New York with the Employees Com

Although the White House egg
rolling is q casualty Of the war this
year, the Capitals youngsters will
still take over Easter Monday.
Few, however. nave marked up
this red d-letter date with more en-
thusiasm than a group of tots at
Gallinger Hospital.
Patients in the crippled children's
ward, they are to have an Easter
Monday party with all the trim
mings-colored eggs, games and
holiday refreshments.

The committee also is planning to
cooperate in the tea to be given

patients.
The clubs Garden Committee
takes a lively interest in the work
at Gallinger and keeps the crippled

also planted a permanent Christmas
tree and bulbs on terrace outside

men for the great services covering the world,
every news tries to be accurate about names,
dates and his sources, those usually
considered reliable, only too often do not have the
facts quite straight They know feet, the founda-
tion They have heard something else, read still a
third thing BY the time they tell the reporter, they
are not quite clear in their minds and often mis-
take fancy for fact.
Reporters, copyreaders editors trained to
watch for such distortions. "Check this-Tve a
hunch it's quite straight says the editor. Maybe
it checks sounds all right So it's printed. Then
it turns out to be wrong It's probably fraction of
one percent of the matter in the paper The rest is
straight and true.
In war time many things abnormal, accuracy is
doubly difficult. "This is silly many editors said OF
tales from Hawaii about cut in fields pointing
to military targets Might be after ALL they said
when pictures supposed be authoritative, also
from the eastern seaboard Well, it proved later, it

sentative of the printing industry is
on the committee.
1t was because Mr.. Franklin was
a successful printer until he was
AZ years of age that he was en-
abled to spend the rest of his event
full life-another AZ years-in nom
commercial pursuits-all of which
added to his usefulness. and fame.
We respectfully recommend to
the honorable gentleman on the
committee, who ignored the print
ing industry in it's personnel, that
they read that part of Franklin's s
autobiography in which he refers
to " very able, industrious,
and honest printer, Mr.. David Hall,
who took off my hands all care of
the printing office, paying me pune
tually my share of the profits. :
And again two paragraphs down,
where he says: "When was olsen
gagged myself, as above mentioned,
from private business, flattered
myself that, by the sufficient though
moderate fortune l had acquired,
had found leisure during the rest
of my life for philosophical studies
and amusements."
If Benjamin Franklin had not
been a successful printer, he would
not now be honored by the "Nation-

not that proongng of the for years.
While Hitler is making terrific drive into Russia
we must get the idea that he is leaving other
places unguarded. He feels certain second front will
be opened and there is doubt but that he is prepar
ed for it. He has been building up his machine for
than 20 years. we have been at it for less than
one year. The equipment and the man power for a
second front must come largely from America, and

HONOR B. FRANKLIN, PRINTER

A press release has been receiv-
ed by the editor of the Inland
Printer concerning the formation
of 1.-THE National Committee to Sig
nalize Benjamin Franklin's Con-
tinuing Contribution to American
Civilization" Much is said in the
explanatory statement that is laud-
atory to the memory Of Franklin to
which we gladly subscribe.
However, we wish to express our
over one omission.
We believe it to be an insult to the
memory of the man who loved to
refer to himself as "B. Franklin,
Printer" In the literature of these
modern admirers of Franklin he
is referred to as scientist, states
man, publicist, educator, business
man of our 20th century
world" His having been printer
is disregarded. Moreover, no repre-
