A high naval official told me
the boys feared he might be
stuck up because he had been
sent TO the Latin American
countries by the White House.
Also, some of them were sure
he would feel himself better be-
cause he was the son Of Doug
las Fairbanks Sr.
So, in the vernacular Of the
navy, they threw the book at
him." meaning they gave him
plenty of tough jobs. He came
through each one with flying
colors and proved himself such a
good sport and so able an officer
that today he has the respect
of all other naval officers.

Despite the current help shortage
spring housekeeping went of or

of the USO Club at the YWCA-
thanks to about dozen senior host.
esses who have been helping out al
dances and other entertainment.
during the past year.
Headed by Mrs. Wilson Compton
chairman of the clubs Advisory
Committee, the women started COM
ing in at 9 am. and by late after
noon the penthouse had that
scrubbed, shining look which is the
pride and joy of the true house
keeper.
At noontime, however, the soldiers
sailors and war workers who drop
into the club at all hours-attend-
ance last Month totaled 32,900-
would have failed to recognize one
of their favorite recreation spots.
Winter draperies and curtains
came down while the workers alter
mated at a borrowed sewing machine
to stitch the spring curtains that
would take their place. Before the
new curtains could be hung, there
was the window washing necessary
to clean every pane in the seven
double French doors which open on
two outdoor terraces.
outside, a group was vanishing a
set of unfinished porch chairs just
donated to the club and, inside,
others were removing winter slip
covers scraping off wads of chewing
gum and waxing down the furniture.
All the winter things taken down
were brushed and stored. The piano
was busted in every nook and Granny
and the keys washed carefully. Old
magazines were weeded out, with
only current issues remaining. And
a generous library of books was
sorted and busted.
The women were too busy to stop
for one of the leisurely luncheons
they hold once month, as members
of the Advisory Committee, for Miss
Mabel r. Cook, director of the club.
At midday, however, sandwiches,
doughnuts and coffee we're served
from the popular Dutch snack bar,
which is one of the attractive fea-
lures of the penthouse.
After the informal lunch hour,
the snack bar came in for its
share of cleaning and, by the end
of the day, shelves had been secured,
the colorful dishes stacked in neat
piles and other equipment REAR
ranged to give the maximum of
space
Mrs. Compton explained that
members of the committee were full
filling promise made last fall in
undertaking the spring houseclean-
ing.
I'VE signed up last November
when we learned that Mabel Cook
and her staff had added fall clean
Ing to their many duties she said.
I'VE cheered them for being such
fine sports, but made them promise
us the job when spring rolled
around"
In addition to Mrs. Compton, the
group included the vice chairman,
Mrs. Frederick Shelton; Mrs. Pres
ton D. Kavanaugh. Mrs. Mary Bre-
mer, Mrs. John Coffey, Mrs. Donald
G. Tewksbury. Mrs. Maynard A.

Uruguay, the smallest Of the
South American republics, for
many years has been a leader In
promoting child welfare programs,
according to two good neighbors"
visiting in Washington from that
country.
They are DR.. Oscar Maggiolo. di
rector general of primary and nor
NAL schools, and DR.. Jose Pedro
Puig, chief of the cinematographic
section of the National Council on
Primary and Normal Education.
Here to observe new educational
practices, they are interested espe-
cially in the international aspects
of their respective fields
DR.. Maggiolo is extremely proud
of the advancement his country has
made in the field of child welfare.
He is secretary of the "Association
for Protection of Children" in Uru-
quay, an organization which cor
responds to the Congress Of Parents
and Teachers in the United States.
Also he has been long identified
with the program of the Institute
International Americana de Protec-
cion la Infancia" in Montevideo,
an international center for the plan
ming and study of child welfare in
the South American countries.
Most recent child welfare devel-
opment in Uruguay, DR.. Maggiolo
said, is the program of nutrition,
with the establishment of $50 free
lunchrooms in Uruguayan public
schools as the climaxing achieve
ment in this field. Three expert
mental schools are maintained for
testing modern educational theories
in relation to conditions in Uru-
quay, and kindergarten work in
cludes several features of school
programs in the United States in
which women have a keen interest
summer camps, clinics and other
corrective measures.
Energetic DR.. Puig believes that
"cinematography," occupying the
same status in Uruguayan education
which visual education" does in the
United States, is one of the strong
est means for effecting definite and
objective teaching.
Through motion pictures" he
said, I'VE are teaching not only ma
tionalism but internationalism as
well. Through actual visual por-
trayal of people, places, customs and
events in other South American
countries and the United States,
school children can be reminded
constantly of hemisphere solidar-
ity, which Uruguayan education Of
flcials earnestly desire"
But visual education in Uruguay
goes much further than the school,
room: it is extended to the older
generation, to the parents and
grandparents of the younger chill
dren who might not be quite so we'll
versed in the social expansion which
Latin American countries generally
are experiencing.
For this purpose" DR.. Puig stat
ed, I'VE assemble pictures on pub
lie health, on sanitation, on good
homes, the functioning of govern
ment departments and many phases
of civic life. And school children
bring older members of their fam
lilies to see them. In this way, we
reach the masses of the people with
important and significant informa-
ton"

An Early Greek Prayer
Applicable Now as Then

An early Greek prayer which has
been translated by Gilbert Murray
is as applicable today as it was cen
turtles ago. It is as follows:
MAY I be no mans enemy, and
may I be the friend of that which is
eternal and abides. May I never
quarrel with those nearest me; and
if I do, may I be reconciled quickly.
May I never devise evil against any
man; if any devise evil against me,
may I escape uninjured and without
the need of hurting him. May ]
love, seek, and attain only that
which is good. May I wish for all
mems happiness and envy none.
May I never rejoice in the ill-for.
tune of one who has wronged me.
When I have done or said what is
wrong may I never wait for the re
buke of others, but always rebuke
myself until / make amends. May
/ win no victory that harms either
me or my opponent. May I never
fail a friend in danger. May I re-
spect myself. May I always keep
tame that which RACES within me.
May accustom myself to be gentle
and never be angry because Of cir
cumstances.

Walla 'Walla Makes Taxi Law

Taxi passengers as well as their
drivers must watch their ethics un-
der an ordinance just passed by the
Walla Walla, WASH, city council, ac-
cording to the American Municipal
association.
The law forbids drivers to take
passengers "the long way" under
penalty of 500 fine. Passengers,
on the other hand, cannot refuse pay
ment of legal fares. And if a pro-
spective customer who calls for a
cab cancels the request after the cab
is dispatched, he is charged a fee
anyway.
The new taxicab ordinance also
limits rates-25 cents for the first
half-mile and 10 cents for each half
mile thereafter. A passenger must
pay 10 cents for keeping a driver
waiting three minutes and 10 cents
apiece for extra passengers. Cabs
from now on will be rationed in
Walla Walla-one to every 1000 in
habitants.

Sardine, Sponge Fishing
From Haunted Island

Nearly four centuries ago Lampe-
dusa, a Mediterranean island, was
deserted; two centuries later lone
islander led Crusoe existence there.
Italians thought the island was
haunted. If the inhabitants are in
clined toward celebration, next year
they could celebrate the Tooth ami
versary of the establishment of a col
ony of several hundred Sicilians. To-
day the islands population is in ex-
cess of $500. An Italian penal col
ony is situated there. Off the south
ern shore, connected by fordable
reef, is the Isola Conigli, the Island
of the Rabbits. Rabbits and rats
long had the run of Lampedusa prop
er, and % species of birds have been
noted nesting there. Seals frequent
the many coastal grottoes. In
addition to sardine and sponge-fish-
ing, the islanders grow grain and
vegetables, especially potatoes. Wild
olive trees once covered the, island.
Figs and prickly pears now are the
chief fruits cultivated.
