Fairway Residents Reply to
Critic of Their Community.

70 the Editor of The Star:
AS representatives of the first families
to move into the Fairway project near
-Four Corners, we feel qualified to take
issue with some of the statements and
implications In the letter submitted by
S. F. H.
Let us pass over the alleged promises
made to home owners in the vicinity.
1t Is true that the houses have not been
Handicapped. We, the tenants, would be
glad to see this done. On the other hand
we are willing to endure some little in
convenience during the war, and even
can stand a structure of that vital Or
gan the pocketbook, without screaming
in anguish. We do not admire the liv-
ing room stove and we would prefer q
refrigerator to an ice box Still, our
child is enjoying sunlight and fresh air,
two commodities which were not plenti-
full in Washington. We deny that the
promoter who optioned this land and
the person who delivered and erected
these houses are the only ones to re-
ceive any benefit from the deal
AS for our neighbors: Several of the
permanent residents have been very
friendly. The rest of the neighbors with
whom We associate are Fairway tenants.
We do not find these people, skilled
craftsmen for the most part, and others
performing important wartime tasks, in
ferior to ourselves. Incidentally, we
both hold college degrees and worked
for them, sometimes acquiring disagree
able callouses in the process.
We do not feel that our standards of
living are painfully low. Our "so-called
living room" is quite comfortable and
we believe six or seven hundred books
(which we actually read) and two ex-

Mr.. Cuduhy

None Of those persons who knew
John Clarence Cudahy and saw with
their own eyes the zest for life which
characterized him will be able to read
OF his sudden and untimely death
without profound regret. He was
possessed of gifts of large social i'm
portance, and it is a tragedy that he
is lost to the world at fifty-five.
Born to wealth and high position.
1t might have been expected that he
would be exempt from the trials and
tribulations which are the common
lot of ordinary people. The fact,
however, is that Mr. Cudahy's whole
career was oyershadowed by disaster.

he bit her finger.
Evidently the child was more fright
ened than hurt, judging from the dura-
ton OF her hefty, unearthly scream.
The noise that issued from that young
sters throat was comparable to that Of
an ambulance siren.
Sad to say, the life OF that squirrel
ended unceremoniously within two hours
time after the incident happened.
"A policeman was summoned. 4 bad
tale told, and all the children in the
neighborhood turned out to see what
would take place.
On call, the squirrel came trottinr
trustfully up to the man, thinking there
was treat in store for him, but instead
he was clubbed to death.
1t Is likely the children who wit
messed the deplorable affair viii grow
to maturity with q hatred for squirrels,
thinking that all of them should be
clubbed on sight.

We believe, to the contrary that most
OF those children will grow up with =
hatred for the police.
Which is too bad, since the police do
necessary and dificult job and mostly
do 1t very well.
The recent rabies scare resulted in
some very sad cases, most OF them utterly
unnecessary.

moned to shoot her completely.
she was not mad and should have
received the help and protection Of all
But human beings seem to 70 slightly
mad themselves when any one sets
up the cry Of mad dog or mad anv
other sort of animal.
THESE cases serve to accent the manv
instances of kindness to animals which
are occurring all the time.
1t Is noticeable, in our first letter. that
only one person out OF many wanted to
save the skunks. The others were all
for killing them at once. This shows
that the savior and protector always is
IN the minority, and will often be mis-
understood by the majority.

On Life at the Front.
To the Editor Of The star:
Recently read where 1t. Yorty ar
rived in New Guinea In March and
stated that he was amazed "at the small
amount Of consideration being given by
the soldiers to world affairs, and par
ticularly to postwar problems"
This is somewhat different from the
information I get from a nephew who
is flight surgeon in North Africa. He
writes: I'm truth, our evenings here are
finer than any we ever spent in the
States. Directly after supper we adjourn
for a real discussion, serious and
thoughtful. Subjects range anywhere
from postwar economic sterilization and
New Deal internal policies to what should
be reasonable and just peace. I do
believe that this generation is different
from the last one in that we seriously
intend to take an active interest In the
problems facing an exhausted and con-
fused world. I believe the ma jority of
us would be willing to sacrifice portion
OF our high standard of living in order
to insure more permanent peace. And
If any of us hear one word of complaint
from any Stacker about taxes or poor
food or even the heat (and the tempera-
ture where he has been has been as high
as 1881, heaven help him, because he will
probably find himself pretty well beat

"HERNDoN, Va.

Dear Sir:
TN regard to the ruthless impatience
with which man deals with those So
called lower forms of life which run
counter to his interests, let me recount
two cheering incidents which present
the lord of creation In more becoming
light.
While chatting with young friend
on the phone some weeks ago. men,
toned that among the other burdens
affecting the honest Victory gardener,
the common tortoise could be a nasty
menace to tomatoes. said that I had
lost many fine tomato already to this
picturesque little creature She replied
that her mother, gardener famous
for her tomatoes and cantaloupes (also
favorite food of the box tortoise)
had met with this problem and had
solved it handily.
Each summer when her tomatoes and
cantaloupes began to grow large and
tempting, she would arise and 60 to her
garden and pick up any tortoise therein
and deposit it in the chickenhouse.
She would provide her captives with
shallow pan Of water and food CASUALLY
tomato skins and cantaloupe rinds).
Then when fall came, this gentle-
hearted lady would release her prisoners
none the worse for their incarceration.
MY young friend told me that among
her least pleasant childhood memories
were those centering around the neces-
sity OF gathering the eggs, subject to the
disinterested scrutiny OF dozen or so
tortoises.
The other case has to do with a fine
young farmer boy whom ! know we'll.
While working in wheat field, he
ana the other hands discovered under
the wheat shocks several families of
young skunks.
His associates wished to kill them.
but readily yielded them to him when
he said he wanted them. He took home
81, mostly kittens, and built pen for
them. Two failed to survive the sum-
mer, but when fall came he took the
remaining 10 to an isolated spot miles
from human abode, and there turned
them loose.
He said that unless annoyed, skunks
are not source of unhappiness around
house and that his charges gave him
no trouble whatsoever. Personally, I
admire his courage as much as do his
kindness.
II know that you will appreciate these
little examples Of mercy and good sense.
and 1t may be that you will think that
others will enjoy them, too.
Sincerely, c. T. r."

Why Girls
Leave Washington,

why O1rlS
Leave Washington.
To the Editor of The star:
I am tired of hearing that girls leave
Washington because there are not
enough glamour and men. That isn't
the reason why many of the girls In
my office left and more of them are
planning to leave.
We are here to help the Government
and we don't like the way it Is mistreat-
Ing us. We passed tests to be typists
and stenographers, but here we spend
all day at adding machines.
Each day our supervisor says that If
We don't like our work, there will be
more where we came from. Our chief
wants to know why we aren't producing
more work, and our supervisor won't
let us do more than certain amount
each day.
Our supervisor tells us how to do
something and then tells us we do it
wrong. We correct it and then we are
told to do it the first way. This has
happened as much as eight times going
back and forth with one bill before it
was accepted as correct.
We aren't permitted to 20 near the
chief to clear things up because he is
too busy, but on errands to his office
he Is always reading the newspaper.
These are the people swho give us low
efficiency ratings because we haven't
been here long enough to know the work.
We know the work. 1t is reading news
papers, making us do the same things
over and over again to make us think
we don't know what should be done,
refusing to let us do the kind of work
that we passed tests for and threatening
us all the time that We will be given
bad Federal records
We didn't come here for glamour and
men. We want to be treated like human
beings as we were at home, and We hate
the mean people In charge of Federal
offices. HIM.
