Il have lived In Washington many
years, and think the one thing that
could make me nostalgia is your column
1T always makes me remember the one
thing love best-the country.

Photographic mental description.
Your stories about the gray squirrels
always amuse me very much. I never
saw them until I came East. having
known only the red species which is
larger and very wild. My mother, how
ever, has successfully tanned one, In fact,
she Is so tame she is saucy.
Susie, the squirrel, comes to the back
porch chattering loudly for her quota OF
black walnuts, but prefers to bring them
In the kitchen and make a perfect mess.
She is as fat as butter 50 I guess that
indicates that her desires are tolerated
Mother heard terrific noise one
day, deduced 1t was coming via the
kitchen and proceeded to investigate
discovering Susie in the ice box having
wonderful time. An open ice box
didn't daunt her spirit in the least, in
fact I don't believe anything could.
Her pal for eating purposes is blue
jay.
They arrive together and Mr.. Jay
sits patiently waiting for Susie to take
whatever portion of the nut that pleases
her and the leavings are his.
He will pick these minute particles
with infinite care and I'm not sure just
who Is the favorite pet.
Also in the backyard are Jenny
Wrens and robins. Both give the high
sign when a cat is near. They get on
the clothes line and scold loudly until
mother comes to shoe the cat away.
Everything settles down until trouble
looms again. Apparently they look
upon her as their protector, for why
else would they come nearer the house
to tell her about trouble?
"A couple of years ago, she had a
robin who was particularly devoted.
Every morning he would wait on the
back porch for her to go to work He
would hop along with her for a space
of two blocks, chirping continually. This
pattern never varied and always he
stopped at the same spot.

early in the spring while the ground
was still frozen and he was about to
pass on to bird heaven
He came back the second year, but
she never saw him after that. You
can't help but wonder what happens to
such friendly friends.
There is one bird in this area which
to me is the king of them all-the
audacious mockingbird One arrives at
the window sill every morning at 7

Principles for the UNRRA

In his flrSt address as the director
general of the new United Nations
Relief and Rehabilitation Admins
tration, Herbert H. Lehman has
enunciated two principles which,
If faithfully adhered to, should do
much to make that organization
the success it must be if postwar
reconstruction is to be inaugurated
on a sound basis.
The first of these principles is
that of helping people to help them
selves. Above all else, says Mr..
Lehman, this should motivate the
actions Of the UNRRA and govern
Its policies, because nations will not
want and should not get aid for
period or to an extent greater than
is absolutely necessary to permit
them to work out their own prob
lems."
The second principle is that of
distributing the cost and burden of
the problem equitably among the
forty-four nations cooperating in
the UNRRA. In Mr.. Lehman's
words, no single country and no
small group of countries possess the
resources needed to cope with the
situation anticipated in the different
areas to be liberated from the Axis.
Nothing less than the full support
Of all the United Nations and asso-
ciated governments-each according
to its ability-will be required to
make the work of the UNRRA truly
effective.
Both these principles make good,
solid sense. forl unless the first is
followed, the whole program of re-
lief and rehabilitation will be
knocked out of focus: and unless
the second is followed. there will be
placed in the lap of the United
States and few other powers a
task too big and too costly for them
to discharge either adequately or
with reasonable degree of eff
cheney. We get some idea of the
magnitude of the problem from the
UNRRA's first report on the esti-
mated needs of Allied countries now
occupied by the Nazis. These coun-
tries, says the report, have requested
that 45,S5O,00 metric tons OF food,
clothing, medicines and industrial
items be sent to them during the
first six months after their liberia
ton.
This initial estimate, which does
not cover the probable needs of Rus
sia and the Asiatic lands. serves to
underscore Mr.. Lehman's words. It
Is quite obvious that the fullest in
ternational cooperation will be as
indispensable as he says and that
every effort will have to be exerted

When Thanksgiving with its ira

its encouragement to family reunions

thoughts go overseas. Their boys will

Laid TO Re-icing Ban
Brokers Cite Losses in
Refrigerator Cars En- Route

The Interstate Commerce Com
missions regulations forbidding the
reicing of refrigerator cars with
top ice while they are in transit
has resulted in the loss of carloads
OF green vegetables, according to
several Washington commission
brokers.
Yesterday morning one broker
who received a carload of mixed
greens found that $50 crates of
spinch had spoiled. A number of
crates which he had sent to Fort
Myer were rejected Another dealer
found that carload of beans he
had received also had been spoiled.
In the first dealers case. his loss
amounted to $625. The dealer said
that with the food shortage, he
could not see how provisions against
reicing could be continued.
Formerly, it was the custom to
reice extremely perishable vege-
tables en- route from the shipping
point, but the shortage of ice
throughout the country has caused
the ICC to prohibit this.
However, ICC officials say that
wherever ice surpiuses have appeared
they have granted shippers the right
by permit to use more ice in
original shipments or else to reice
along the way.

Declaring that dirty drinking
glasses often cause throat and sinus
infections, Health Officer DR.. George
c. Ruhland today asked the public
to report to his office. instances
where food operators serve unclean
drinking utensils.
DR.. Rutland said the public could
materially lower the number of in
fections by washing their hands be-
fore eating in restaurants and by
thoroughly scrubbing drinking uten-
sils at home before using them.
DIR. Rutland stressed the fact
that the number of throat and sinus
infections in the District was not
large, but he said that future cases
could be prevented by precautionary
measures.
Municipal Court Judge John p.
Mcmahon yesterday imposed a SIS
fine on Thomas Bledsoe, restaurant
operator of .704 Ninth street NV,
for having Improperly sterilized
drinking utensils. Another res
