Dinner Meetings in Reverse
Popular With Alumni.GrOup

Putting reverse twist on evening
dinner meetings, the adroit Wash
angton Society of the Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology has
resorted to running its meeting in
reverse of the usual rule The plan
works perfectly. according to its
founders. and frees members for a
whole evening to themselves after
wards
Many complaints have been heard
from various parts of the city about
evening meetings starting too late,
and dragging too far into the night
Some have gone SO far as to say
that most people in Washington
who have business to conduct during
the evening waste most of the time
from 4 or o'clock to 8 pm. going
to and from home. Evening dinners
and banquets of organizations SCI
dom get under way until 730 or 8
sometimes much later.
But the M. 1T. alumni and for
mer students have taken time by
the forelock" and twisted the eve
ming into semblance of two oc-
casions instead of one.
For instance, the M. I. T. Society
meets promptly at $50 pm. usually
in the YWCA at Seventeenth and
TX streets NV. They don't eat
right away. They have their pro-
gram first. 1t takes place with peo-
pie sitting down to empty tables
full of plates, knives, forks spoons
and other paraphernalia of a din.

and whoever is giving the address

they say.
Then there is a leisurely dinner,
for an hour And the gavel falls at

Working the program backwards
Is great success, so the originators
think. More people would save val

devices.

Serves Every Other Year
Vincent p. Bondren
And Wife Make Up
Family Civic Team
By CAMBRIDGE CRIsT.

For Vincent P. Boudren, president
of Metropolitan View Citizens As
sociation. its been a question of in
again, out again and in again.
Mr.. Boudren was president of the
Metropolitan View group in 1888,
declined the post the following year,
was back in again in 1910, out in 194l
and is now serving his third trem.
Il enjoy it. It's interesting work. "
says Mr.. Boudren. And that was his
only comment about his new term.
Civilian defense activities, he be-
lieves, has aroused greater partici-
patton in association work. Mr..
Boudren said this has been particu-
larly true among apartment house
residents. One apartment, for ex-
ample, used to have only two resi-
dents who were members of the
association. Now there are 20.
Also Conference Head.
Mr.. Boudren Is also serving as
president of the Northeast Confer
ence of Citizens Associations this
year. In this case, however, 1t is his
first term. Mrs. Boudren, who is a
past secretary of the Metropolitan
View group, is now secretary of the
conference, making it family civic
team.
1t was Mrs. Boudren. in fact, who
got her husband interested in civic
work One story has it that Mr.
Pn,1Iro,, I,coI n 10 10 l,ic 70 n ', n
form meetings and that one night he
got tired of waiting So he ambled
in and sometime later was elected
president.
So far as Metropolitan View is
concerned, Mr.. Boudren said that
the group is working for shelter
house at the Edgewood Playground
At present, he pointed out, they
have only a temporary wooden
structure, lacking sanitary facilities
The association also has requested
District officials to name school
after the late John J. Noonan, who
fought for a Scent fare for school,
children.
Business in the Northeast Confer
ence. he said, is going along very
we'll" The few things that have come
up, Mr.. Boudren went on, have been
adjusted" One of the problems now
he said. was suggesting name fer
the new bridge connecting Rhode
Island avenue with Florida avenue
for which that section of the city
long has fought.
To Suggest Name.
'It should be named after one
prominent in the development OF
the Northeast" Mr.. Boudren de-
clared.
If it does not have to be named
after deceased person, conference
delegate will suggest the name OF
Marvin M. MCLEAN. former presi.
dent of the conference, he said.
The Metropolis View Associa
ton is sending out blotters to its
members. featuring such subjects as
the number of Japanese ships sunk
civilian defense emblems and a mar
| of defense training centers. Mr.. Bou.
dren. during his first term as presi-
dent, got out a post card newspaper

OF Pagara, who once dreamed OF
becoming King OF Sind" was exc
cuted Saturday after being con-
demned to death by a military court
The Pr, leader Of the fanatical
Hurs Of Sind Province, was charged
with conspiring to war against the
king and emperor.
He exercised all the rights of a
medieval baron over his earthly pos
sessions. and the turban from which
he derived his authority had been
handed down from father to son
for the last 1900 years.
The Pir was arrested last Sep
tember by the British in an effort
to stamp out the Hurs' orga MIA ton,
and he was accused then of collect
ing arms and training his followers
into an army. Martial law was
imposed when the Hurs began ter
rorizing Sind Province by attacks
on trains and villages.
When they arrested the Pir, the
British blew up his fortress palace
at Pirjogoth, surrounded by walls
so feet high and II feet thick, de-
stroying as we'll his residential pal
aces, harems and luxurious baths.
