Elizabeth r. Groves Is
Tireless HOme>Fr0nt Worker
Making CrosswOrd
Puzzles Only One
OF Her Many Jobs
BY ELEANORE F. KRAvITZ.

Between civic and war work, Miss
Elizabeth r. Groves, treasurer of the
Connecticut Avenue Citizens Asso-
citation. has found herself with a
full-time job. She does everything
from making crossword puzzles for
wounded servicemen to collecting
stamps for others.
Treasurer of the Connecticut ave-
nue. group since its organization 20
years ago. Miss Groves has found
enough time to devote more than
1000 hours to civilian defense and
countless hours in The Red Cross.
Her work as an air-raid warden
from December l, 1912 to May l,
alone, accounted for 500 hours.
She enjoys all of her work, espe-
cially the Home Missionary Com
mittee of the Business Women's
Council, of which she has been chair
man and treasurer since its begin
ming in 1919. She says that it gives
her pleasure to know the money
which she sends from this group to
the Brevard College in North Caro-
lima IS educating young men and
women for teaching and missionary
work.
You will often find Miss Groves
making crossword puzzles for the
men in Mount Alto and Walter Reed
Hospitals, knitting for the Red
Cross, rolling newspapers for the
Junior War Workers or collecting
Cancelled stamps for an elderly
woman in the Methodist Home
Every week she makes her rounds
to the service hospitals. distributing
crossword puzzles and magazines, to
the Red Gross for returning and re-
ceiving OF supplies for her Red Cross
group at the All Souls Memorial
Church, and to the Methodist Home
where she turns over The stamps and
picks up packages to be taken to a

he could not estimate how long the
job would take. Mr.. Fearn said the
SO trailer-pumps would be coupled
to municipal vehicles and housed in
various city garages.
It was during the latter part OF
last year that the city received
63 skid pumps. OF these II have
been sent to nearby Alexandria and

ington, four to Lorton Reformatory
and one to Glenn Dale Sanitorium
in Maryland. That disposed of 20
OF the pumps, leaving 43 to be
mounted in the District.
Commissioners Criticized.
The delay in mounting the pumps
has been a center of controversy
In February the Police and Fire
Protection Committee of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Association criti-
cized the Commissioners for not pro-
viding "a single truck upon which
any one of these pumps could be
mounted. Consequently they are at
present not available even for fur
ther training of the auXiliaries. {"
The report claimed that the contract
under which the pumps were re-
ceived called for the Commissioners
to make them mobile.

which have trucks available now
are: American Sales Co.. R. P. An

VI SiNAIal NVlSllSc, Sdlu liz lldu asked
wardens to locate suitable housing
for the trucks He explained that
a suitable place would mean a place
to house the truck and train the
auxiliary flremen.
The special committee, part Of
the Public Order Committee. lined
up Al trucks for District officials,
with various firms offering from
l to 10 trucks for immediate use
Altogether 43 trucks. of at least Il
tons each, are needed. according to
Mr.. Keneipp. All of the trucks
listed by the committee did not
prove suitable for one reason or
another.
Praised by OCD Head.
The campaign, which has been
praised by James M. Lands, direc-
tor of civilian defense, is under the
craftsmanship of Harry J. Miller. 1t
got under way the middle of March
when a letter was sent to $50 busi-
ness firms throughout the city.
Businessmen were informed that
unless trucks could be found there
was possibility that the skid pumps
would be transferred by the Office
of Civilian Defense to some other
city.
You must understand" the letter
said, that trucks so loaned will be
immobilized for the duration for any
use except for the fighting of fires.
The trucks will be kept in repair and
will be returned to their owners in
