A General Hospital, England -
Any boy in Army khaki anywhere
will tell you that when sick or
wounded fella needs a friend, no
one in the world can fill the bill
like a member of the Army Nurse
Corps. From the time wounded
soldier is picked up in the field,
right on through his convalescence,
at base hospitals like this one, he
can expect - and gets - the most
skillful nursing care in the world.
And in addition to expecting the
Army nurses to be in there pitching
to bring him back to health as soon
as possible, he can pretty we'll rely
on them to assume the role Of
guide, philosopher and friend"
Overseas servicxe for volunteer
nurses means much more direct
hospital work in evacuation units
than service, in advanced combat
zones, although the latter may be
more spectacular Though they re-
alize that work over here may be
less thrilling and exciting than that

SHOCKING TO CHILDREN

If we continue to do that to kids,
we are bound to add to the problem
of juvenile delinquency. If a kid
goes through the shock Of reading
in minute detail every indiscretion
of his parents, if he knows the
whole world also knows each detail,
it isn't likely he will care much
what he does.
Nobody wins in a divorce case
like the Dempsey one. The court
may declare one or the other parent
the winner. But there is no real
winner. There is only loser. And
the real loser isn't the husband or
wife against whom the case Is de-
cided
The real loser is the child or
children involved.

will have a boom In postwar di-
vorces.
The divorces are bad enough for
the men and women involved, but
what about the children?
Should they have to see their
mothers and fathers alleged mis-
conduct dragged out for all the
world to see and gossip about?
just because their parents NO
longer choose to live together should
the kids be deprived of every bit
of respect for their parents and of
every speck of security they once
knew?

Fairfax Studies Plan
To-Seek Federal Funds
For New Sewer Line
Proposed Lateral Pipes
Would Connect With
Holmes Run Trunk Unit

The Fairfax County Board of
Supervisors at special session yes
terday considered a proposal to
apply for a Federal allotment for
construction of lateral sewer lines
in Sanitary District, No. /. These
lateral lines would be connected with
the trunk line sewer now being con-
structed in the Holmes Run water
shed from Falls Church to the Po-
tomac River.
The proposal was submitted to
the board by J. j. Corbalis, county
sanitary district engineer, at the re-
quest of Federal Work Agency Off
cials, who suggested that the county
apply for the grant.
In discussing the proposal with
Mr.. Corbalis, FWA officials indi-
Gated that the allotment would be
loan.
The board decided to meet with
FWA representatives before taking
further action, since no agreement
has been reached by the county and
the FWA on rental fees to be
charged the county for use of the
trunk line sewer. When the grant
Of approximately $1,000,000 was
made for the trunk line, the county
understood that if any rent were
charged, it would be token fee, and
so far the two groups have been
unable to reach any definite agree
ment.
The trunk system is being con-
structed on recommendation of Fed
eral, State and county health off,
cials to solve the sewage problem
caused by several housing projects.

Robson Envisions Institute
TO Develop Talent Of Negroes
Famed Singer to Be
Guest Artist at
Water Cote Tonight

Paul Robson, a scholar and actor
as well as one of the greatest colored
singers, makes his first appearance
with the National Symphony
Orchestra at the Water Gate as
guest artist at $3.50 o'clock tonight.
A Phi Beta Kappa and all-America
football star at Rutgers University,
Mr.. Robson arrived from New York
last night and told of a dream he
hopes will achieve fruition in peace
time-the establishment of an insti-
tuition which will develop the .op-
cratic, dramatic and dancing talents
of the Negro race.
such an institution, perhaps
sponsored by a. leading Negro uni
versity with the aid of outstanding
Negro artists, would help reveal the
Negro's contribution to American
culture" he said. TT is a dream
which must be laid aside in war"
Studies Lore of Races.
He not merely sings before the
peoples of many countries but makes
sincere effort to understand and
appreciate them by learning some
thing of their language and Gus
toms, he said in an interview.
When I was in college I pre-
pared for the ministry by taking
Greek and Latin" he remarked.
That training in Greek made it
easier for me to learn Russian.
Then I took up Chinese. I made a
serious study Of ethnology, Ian
guages and comparative cultures"
He said he was an actor before
he became singer, and that he
studied law at Columbia University.
Mr.. Robson said he naturally is
greatly interested in African Ian
guages.
MY wife is writing book on
Africa" he said. I sent my son to
the Congo to help him get the feel
OF African life. I would say the
salient features of African life are
their form of tribal government,
their philosophy, poetry, sculpture
and love OF music, comparable with
that of the Aztec civilization. All
culture tends to achieve a level of
its own. Negro spirituals, for ex-
ample, have close community with
the idiom of other peoples"
He emphasized he has been anx-
ious to establish a contact with the
peoples of all the countries he has
visited.
Spirituels Popular in Wales.
Among the great thrills of his
concert career. he said, were his
first appearance in Carnegie Hall,
New York; in Albert Hall In Lon
don; at Turin, Italy; Moscow and
Oslo, Norway. Negro spirituels have
become so popular in Wales, he dis
closed, that Welsh choirs have
translated them into the Welsh Ian
guage.
To his long list of triumphs in
the spoken drama, he added last
summer two performances of
Shakespeare's "Othello," which

Virginia Tax Increase
Held Needed 10 Meet
School Budget
State Director Estimates
$4,000, 900 Annual New
Revenue Must Be Found
BY the Associsted Press.

RICHMOND. Va, June 25.-An
annual increase of s1o,000000 in
State revenue would be needed on
the basis Of peacetime normal" in
come to care for the S18,600 900
budget proposed for Virginia public
schools, j. H Bradford, State budget
director, estimates.
Mr.. Bradford said yesterday indi-
cations were that a S5,000,000 in
crease would be needed over the
present war-inflated revenues to
meet the $685. 900 additional appro-
priation Dr. Dabney S. Lancaster,
State superintendent of public in
struction. said he would request of
the General Assembly.
Sees Additional Taxes.
The additional tax money, Mr..
Bradford said, could be had only
through additional taxes.
Salary increases of such magni-
tude for one class of public en-
ployes", the. budget director said,
would inevitably lead to insistent
demands for substantial increases
for practically all employees of our
State institutions.
In the nature Of things, it would
be necessary to grant such re-
quests in part at least; and the re-
suit would not improhably be a
further addition to the tax bur-
den."
The wartime increase in income
is bringing surplus funds into the
State treasury and an increase of
5000 600. the budget director said,
would probably take care of the
larger school budget proposed.
Individual income taxes for this
year are estimated at $4.476, 900,
which even if doubled, it was point
ed out, would give an additional
income less than the estimated S.
100000.
DR.. Lancaster said he proposed to
request the larger appropriation to
provide $1,000 per teacher unit as
compared to the s770 per unit al
ready provided for.
Even this increase for salaries"
he said, will mean far less than the
national average of teachers sala-
ries after local funds have been
added"

Those were stirring times and the
work which members Of the corps

record of events in such unbroken
succession, constitutes a contribu-
ton to our history of the war of
absorbing interest and permanent
value. Hearty greetings to all who

pictures win the awards"

grand prize. Addressing Mr.. Atkins,
Mr.. Wallace said:
Il am going to be very frank with
you when I say that I disagree en-
tirely with the wisdom of the five ex-
perienced newspaper and magazine

best of the 500. I have looked over
the extraordinarily good exhibit and
have seen SO many important pic
lures pertaining to the war effort
