! Travellers Aid Expects
Post-Hoidny Headache
By Gretchen Smifk,
Womsa,a fxuh Uditoy.

without any place to stay and do
not even get glimpse Of their
hus' Ids. All Of these people will
be II. lrning home after Christmas, !"
she said. "They will be without
funds and viii probably call upon
lis for loans"
Although the Travellers Aid So
ciety Is accustomed to shouldering
the burdens Of others, not all OF
its missions are sad and depressing,
Mrs. Alexander asserted.
Last week, we helped 10 bring
about . happy ending to = veSy sad
story" she said. "A Navy man
returned after II months ct sea at
the West Coast where he boarded
q bus for New York to spend Christ
mas with his wife and family. He
had saved all Of his salary with the
idea Of enjoying it when he got
home. When he arrived In WASH
ington his wallet, containing $500
with all Of his papers, was missing.
The poor man arrived at our desk
at the bus terminal, worried and
forlorn. BY coincidence, q short
time before his arrival, a we'll
dressed man stopped at our desk at
Union Station and turned in q wal
let containing $500. OF course, it
turned out to be that of the sailor
and was easily identified by his
papers and picture in the wallet. He
was one happy man when he board
ed that bus for New York." Mrs.
Alexander smiled.
Plays Role Of Cupid.
Travellers Aid also plays tho role
Of Cupid. the social worker re-
marked.
Recently the desk at Union Sta
tion proved . successful trysting
place for I young couple who had
arranged to meet in Washington"
for Christmas. Neither had made
definite plans, Mrs. Alexander said.
but had vaguely" written they
would meet on q certain day In
Union Station.
The man, young sergeant, came
to the desk flrst. Depressed at not
meeting his sweetheart, he left, say
ing he would return later. During
his absence the girl arrived and,
worried 1T missing the sergeant,
decided to remain at the desk,
hoping he would return. A few
hours later he came back and saw
the girl waiting for him before
she was conscious Of his presence.
He greeted her as he came up
from behind" Mrs. Alexander said
smilingly, "and as she turned he
slipped an engagement ring on her
finger before she had time to speak
his name. They were two happy
young people," she added. IT think
they plan to be married during the
holidays here in Washington.
Mrs. Alexander will tell Of her
experiences in Union Station fol-
lowing tea tomorrow at the club
house of the American Association
of University Women.
There is so much to be done in
educating the public about travel
ing conditions" she concluded. I'VE
hope that the club women Of the
Nation may be able to help u.s."

Mrs. Alexander said that last week

"Ons woman arrived 1T the sta

said, urgent appeals were received
from numerous small towns near
Army camps In the south urging

explained, "and the situation after
the women arrive Is terrible. It Is
bad for the morale Of the men, too"
she added, "and almost all of these
men have asked their women rela-

will. in spite Of all. and now our
chief concern is to try to develop an
educational program 20 that they
may have some semblance Of plans

Many women have used family

Church and Home
BY REV. M. MIKKELSEN

Freedom is fundamental right of
man. Each man born on this earth
should be allowed to think. express
himself, and act without any restric-
ton save that of his own conscience.
or his own limitations. Yet, he isn't.
Freedom is relative, and has al
ways been. It's only from the phi
losopher's point of view that there
is such an absolute right, in practice
1t doesn't exist, and it has in ages
been one of the most important prob
lens of politics to determine how
much freedom can be tolerated.
Although greatly impaired at this
time the world over there is still
retained in the conscience of demo-
cratic nations and individuals suf-
ficient appreciation of the Four Free
doms outlined in the Atlantic Charter
to make them willing soldiers and
fighters in the present conflict with
out the feeling of having been de-
prived Of any fundamental right
which was theirs.
1t may be true that all too many in
this and other countries do not as
yet know why there is war, and
why they are involved in it and
must suffer the sacrifices. It may
not be clear to very many of us that
the deadly struggle in which we are
engaged is a struggle for freedom.
not for our own alone, but for all
liberty loving peoples. The nations
that started the conflict felt that in
order to help the rest of the nations
to determine how much freedom can
be tolerated, it was necessary to in
form such nations in which freedom.
from their point of view, was being
extended, and enjoyed by the citi-
zens, too literally. They did so in
no uncertain terms, and behind the
order to curtail liberty, and conse-
quently to overthrow democracy,
stood the Nazi war machine Hitler is
the last phase of an evolution toward
total evil which threatens the whole
democratic world. His purpose is
to destroy all that it stands for. He
will do it if he can.
While news of mans inhumanity
to man has steadily come across the
ocean here at home there has been
news of different nature. Reports
of suffering, persecution and vio-
1ence are the daily menu of news
paper readers. The other side of the
picture, showing mans humanity to
man, may not make headlines, but
it does make good will.
Interfaith good will in action is as
vital to the future of democracy as
is the winning of the present war.
Christians and Jews, Whites and Ne
groes must learn to appreciate free
dom with all barriers removed. Ma
tional boundaries might have to be
retained for some time yet, but racial
and creedal boundaries must be lev
eled and cut across until they are
no more in evidence.
Freedoms Memorial, at Lincoln
Park, Washington, D. c., in grateful
memory of Abraham Lincoln, is a
beautiful expression of the graft
tude of an entire race, to the man
who brought it freedom.
