WASHINGTON LETTER TO
W. C. t. U. OF o. s. A.
BY ELIZABETH A. SMART
National W. C. T. U. Legislative
niraafnr XUocbinof ofOn n IN

Director, Washington, d. @.
A major. battle is being fought In
Washington over the gasoline sit
uation. Committees from Congress
representing particularly the as
yet-non gasoline rationed states,
have been calling on the President
protesting the rationing of gaso-
line, which admittedly is being
done only for the purpose of saw
ing rubber.
In spite of acute rubber shortage,
no curtailment has been made OF
rubber for beer trucks.
Recently the State Legislative
Director of Virginia w. C. T. u,
Mrs. j. H. Lamb, called up a num-
ber of beer dispensaries in the Dis
trict of Columbia to find out II
there were any curtailment on de-
livery of beer.
With one exception they offered
to deliver at any time, any place,
any where, and daily if required.
Milk deliveries in Virginia had
just been cut in some instances to
one every three days. In the bat
tie between the buns bottle and
the baby's bottle, the baby comes
last.
On June 8, Representative Ben
jamin Jarrett of Pennsylvania filed
petitions in the House protesting
priorities to beer trucks as opposed
to milk deliveries.

CHILDREN'S BEACH HOUSE
CHATTER

Dickey's foot is curing fast, and
he went into the water Sunday for
the first time. Frank has been in
the infirmary for a short illness
and so has not been able to go
swimming. He is much improved
now and almost ready to be back
in our regular routine. The only
visitors to the hospital this week
were Betty for an X-ray of her nose
and Dickey for his foot.
The high tides on Thursday and
Friday made bathing treacherous
for us. The counselors took only
six in the water at a time.
This is the last week Miss Rus
sell will be with us. She leaves us
to enter the nurses training school
at Hahnemann Hospital in Phila-
delphia, where she recently was
awarded a scholarship. Miss Rus
sell has been with us as boys coun-
selor since last August. We all
shall miss her, particularly the
boys.
Visitors Sunday were the parents
of Charlotte and Alton, June's mo-
ther and aunt, and R. Ralston Davis
of Milford. Monday, Mrs. G. WI
Blow, who is superintendent of
nurses at the State Sanitorium of
and is yacationing at the

dances at Fort Miles and. Fort
Salisbury, which the soldiers
arrange and chaperones from
Lewes and Milford attend.
Trucks and jeeps come for the

Of private conveyances, and
keeping in line with the wish
that the partners afor the SOL
diers at the dance come, to-
gether and notin separate cars.
There are rules laid down by
those in authority that must be
obeyed, and the way in which
civilians comply, sets the NOR
ale of the individual. Chaper-
ones object to private convey
ances as well as officers at the
forts, so this rule will be en-
forced, because the gates swing,
open willingly, only, for the,
convoy that bring the girls to
the dances on dance nights
Thursday and Friday. Guests
are courteously asked to abide
by the rules set up by those
who conduct the dances.
