Now that the American Friends
of Yugoslavia organization comes
under the Community War Fund
what plans. other than work for the
War Fund, has the Washington
committee made for this seasons
activities? We asked this Of Mrs.
Ernest G.. Draper, chairman of the
Washington committee of the
Friends of Yugoslavia. Mrs. Draper,
whose husband is member of the
Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve Board, cuts her social life
to a minimum during the war and
gives a great deal of her time to
Yugoslav war relief.
There has been so much interest
in the cause of Yugoslav relief"
Mrs. Draper answered, that the
Washington committee has decided
to give a series of informal teas at
the Yugoslav Embassy in order to
keep up interest in the work and to
keep the friends of Yugoslavia in
touch with each other"
The teas will be quite simple, but
the committee is making plans to
have an interesting speaker or some
other form of entertainment at each
of them. 1t Is very much hoped
that Nine. Slavko Grouitch, so well
known to Washington since the days
when her husband was Serbian
Minister here during World War I,
will be one of the speakers One
tea will feature a lecture on art
by Mr.. B. Bogdanovitch, promir ert
Yugoslav painter who lives in New
York. Another afternoon Will be
devoted to the music of Rasha ard
Mirko, delightful Yugoslav guitar
lists and singers, who gained great
popularity in Washington when they
played here professionally last win
ter. They have also played several
times at the Embassy for friends
of the Ambassador and Nine. Fo-
itch. Nine Fotitch says that so
many people have asked for their
return that she knows warm well
come waits for them.
Pressed for further plans, Mrs.
Draper confessed that she has per-
suaded Nine Fotitch and Mrs.
Thomas Burke, wife of the State
Departments chief of international
communications, to give a program
of two-piano music at one of the

teas. These ladies usually play only
for close friends, but for the cause
of war relief they have consented to
face larger audience.
Asked If those Yugoslav women
all over the United States who knit
so beautifully are still functioning in
a war relief capacity. Mrs. Draper
replied, Yes, they are untiring in
their efforts and are making many
garments for destitute children and
for hospitalized prisoners"
Mrs. Draper. with her gentle pref
tlness and her charm of manner, is
herself untiring in her work fer
Yugoslav relief and, according 10
her co-workers, is an inspiration in
every task.

POST DETACHMENT
WINS OVER 235TH
Game Is Hardest Fought
Contest In Camp Davis
Play Thus Far

CAMP DAVIS Dec. 1O.-In what
was probably the most hard-fought
contest in Camp Davis tournament
play thus far the Post Detachment

BON teams logged each others
footsteps throughout and field
goals were being rationed as re-
salt. 1t was only in the last two
minutes that the Detachment bas-
keteers went to the front aided by
Peterson's timely shooting. Poor
foul-tossing-the winners netted but
one while missing IA penalty tries
kept the score at even keel. The
losers had the better of free
throws, netting five in eight efforts,
bur were outscored from the field.
twelve to eight.
The opening half saw Hayes for
Post Detachment and Ragster for
the 225th, match two-pointers but
for most part the nets were not
Gistur bed too often as the Detach-
ment trailed at the half, 12-11. The
same ratio was maintained for
most of the ensuing periods as
skillful pall-handling and tight
defensive exhibition held sway.
It was Peterson's sudden furry
of baskets that settled the issue as
the 235th met it's first defeat in
tourney competition.

READY FOR Use
Link Equipment Has Been
Installed On CITY Fire
Boat-Tests Made

Final tests of the new Link radio
recertion unit installed on the fire
boat on the Cape Fear River be-
longing to the city fire department
were made Friday afternoon and
the equipment officially approved
by Chief Luddie Groom.
The radio equipment, which was
ordered several months ago arriv-
ed earlier this week, and will en-
able the chief to communicate
from the radio in the chiefs car
with the fire boat when it is being
used or the river during fires. The
chief will thus be able to give IN
structions from shore where many
times the fire can be more advan-
tageously surveyed than aboard
the boat.
During the tests reception was
perfect as far up and down the
river as the fire boat ranges.
A new board indicator has been
installed this week at the main fire
station at Fourth and Dock. Red
lights are used to indicate which
trucks and companies are out. This
facilitates the dispensing OF trucks
