Block Leaders Survey
Four Areas for Need Of
Child Care Programs
Shepherd Park Section
Effort Hopes to Bring
Out Volunteer Stuff

Block leaders in four of the Dis
trict's 66 civilian defense areas are
conducting surveys to ascertain the
need for nursery schools or after
school programs, it was learned to-
day.
One of the areas, Shepherd Park
formerly known as Sixteenth Street
Heights, already has distributed
child care questionnaires to block
leaders who are covering every home
in their areas.
Georgetown will begin it's survey
soon Miss Cecil Jones, civilian mobi-
lization chairman of the Georgetown
area, announced. Stanton Park,
under Mrs. Louise Ramirez, also is
planning to use its block leader
corps for the child care job.
Mrs. Evelyn Bright Buckley, child
care chairman of Shepherd Park,
said the purpose of that areas sur
vey is to learn what potential volun-
teers are available for stating CEN
ters in more needy areas. She pre-
dicted the QUESTIONABLE would dis
close many women with training in
nursery school or other child care
work
Mrs. Edwin Wright. child care
chairman of the Mount Pleasant
area, said that after two unsuccess-
full attempts to get questionnaires
answered, her area will now rely on
block leaders to do the job.

A plan-possibly already ordered
by the Office of Price Administra-
ton to transfer rationing procedures
In Prince Georges and Montgomery
Counties from the jurisdiction of
the State Office of Price Admins
tration in Baltimore to the District
OPA has aroused vigorous pro-
tests from members of Congress as
well as from ration board officials
In the two nearby Maryland coun-
ties, 1t was learned today.
Both Representative Sasscer and
Senator Tydings, Democrats, of
Maryland, have objected strongly to
any move to merge Prince Georges
and Montgomery Counties rationing
work with that of the District.
In addition, members of the Prince
Georges County Ration Board have
threatened to resign en- masse if
such a change in put into effect.
While similar threat has not been
made by Montgomery County off,
clalS, Julius P. Stadler, county ra-
tionlng chairman, said he believed
the present setup was very salts
factory"
Different, Says Sasscer.
In recent telegram to Leon
Henderson before he quit as OPA
chief, Mr.. Sasscer pointed out that
ratlonlng problems in Prince Geor-
ges County are different from those
in the District.
He added that the present county
ration board at Hyattsville is run
ming smoothly and has the conf
dence of the people. Senator Ty-
dings who joined Mr.. Sasccer in
protesting against the proposal, de-
clared such step would cause fric-
tion and complicate, rather than
help matters.
Although both Mr.. Stadler and
Leonard H. Burch, Prince Georges
rationing chairman, said they had
not received definite word of the
proposed change, Mr.. Henderson, in
reply to Mr.. Sasscer, indicated that
q decision to make the transfer
already has been ordered.
The telegram read in part:

Georges and Montgomery Counties

How to Shop

I. First study the point values" Of the
foods you buy most often. To help you,
you'll find Point Value Table" hung up
in your food store Or, better yet, you can
clip a meats and fats Point Table" from
your newspaper and keep it handy.
2. Take War Ration Book Two with you
when you shop for meats, cheese, or any of
the other items, just as you do now when
you buy canned, frozen or dried fruits. and
vegetables. Tear the Red Stamps out in the
presence of your storekeeper or his delivery
man.
3. If you find you do not have the exact
amount of valid Red Stamps to give for
purchase, your storekeeper can give you your
change in "l-point" stamps. For example,
if you must give him 3-point stamp to pay
for 4-point purchase. he can give you
I-point stamp as change. But he cannot use
the 2, s., or s-point stamps as change.
Make sure, however, that the "1-Point
stamp has letter on it which is valid at the
time you receive it.
4. Your storekeeper cannot always cut
meat or cheese to the exact pound weight
you wish. That means you pust know how
many points you should pay for ounces, too.

BY the experience of scores of other

present war, were universally re-

Norway. These had semi-socialist
economies, with public, cooperative

MR.. CROWTHER OPENS: The
proposal that government operate
big business but leave little business
to its own devices is naive. 1t assumes
that badness springs from bigness
and goodness from littleness and re-
solves the whole economic problem
into substituting good men for bad
men-defining a good man as one
with government job.
Let us assume this is so and that
government is an all-wise entity and
not just a mixed bunch of glorified
ward heelers and orphans of the
academic cloisters. Business is not
something apart from our lives. 1t is
only ourselves organized to produce
and exchange the things needed for
our material existence.
Production is now directed by the
consumers purchasing power which
is only another name for his pro-
ductive power. II government should
take over "big" business the only
change aside from the killing or the
redirecting of initiative and ambi-
tion, would be new mass Of politi-
cal jobs and more taxes. II, however,
government should agree to provide
a living for each individual, it would
be forced to require a minimum con-
tribution from the individual. That
might be freedom, but we used to call
it slavery. In neither set-up is there
any more place for little business
than there is for big business.
DIR. Ladder CHALLENGES: Mr..
Crowther enormously assumes that
of big business look upon mere big
ness IS bad. They urge government
control because under the sway of
big business, the American people
have suffered from widespread inse-
curity, unjust inequality, wanton
waste and autocratic industrial con-
trolls. They believe that these can be
largely eliminated if the people,
through their duly constituted po-
litical agencies, take charge of the
big business units and operate them
not for private profit but for public
welfare. Democratic control, as seen
from Scandinavian experience, stim-
ulates initiative, strengthens demo-
cratic institutions and greatly in
creases the freedom of the people.
MIR. CRoWTHER REPLIES: DR..
Ladder really identifies bigness with
badness-unless the bigness be under
democratic control" But democratic
control is a philosophical abstrac-
ton; in practice it means political
control. That means either confscat-
ing property to provide more politi-
cal jobs or confiscating property in
order to ration both effort and re-
ward. In the first case, individual
freedom becomes negligible. In the
second case, freedom becomes what
ever teacher says it is-as one of
Napoleon's marshals said to con-
quered town, 81 bring you the per-
feet liberty. But be prudent. shoot
the first man who stirs." That is the
sort of freedom which DR.. Ladder.
in citing Sweden, has in mind.

Shortly after their marriage, the
LaFournaiSe' moved to North Da-

elder LaFournaise was a fur trader
and buffalo hunter, making long
reks through the wild country, as
far south as the Missouri river and
north to Hudson's Bay company
posts in Manitoba. Trips were made
in the two wheeled Red River carts

winter.
