Mrs. David ). Barry
Establishes Fund in
Fathers Honor
$4,000 Is Contributed
For Psychiotric Aid
To Children

A trust fund of $25 900, to be used
for psychiatric aid to children. has
been established by Mrs David s..
Barry In honor of her father, the
late DR.. Loren B. T. johnson, it
was announced yesterday by DR..
Winfred Overholser, superintendent
of6t. Elizabeth's Hospital and pres
idsnt of the Washington Institute
of Mental Hygiene.
Mrs. Barry is the wife of 1t. Col.
David S. Barry, U. S. M c., son Of
the former Senate sergeant at arms
DR.. Overholser said the trust fund
would be used for "the intensive and
specialized care and treatment of
children in connection with the spe-
cial objectives of the Washington
Institute of Mental Hygiene" He
explained that psychiatrists have
found in their work with chill
dren that they must spend great
deal . me in the treatment of
each individual case.
DR.. Rex E. Buxton, director of the
institute, said, Assembly line
techniques or mass production
psychiatric methods will not change
troublesome behavior patterns in
children into healthier ones" and
added, with the large number of
children coming to the institute
clinic, our problem has always been
to devote enough time to each in
dividual to be really helpful"
Will Extend Service.
The $25,000 johnson trust fund,
he said, would be q great help to
the Institutes need to extend mod
ern psychiatric service on an ade-
quate and extensive basis to chill
dren and expressed his satisfaction
that such fitting commemoration
to DR.. Johnson's interest and work
IN child psychiatry had been made.
DR.. johnson, In whose memory the
trust fund has been established, was
instrumental, together with other
public-spirited citizens, in the for
nation OF the Washington Child
Guidance Clinic and the Life Ad-
justment Center. These organiza-
tions were merged several years ago
and became the Washington Insti-
tute Of Mental Hygiene, which de-
pends for most of its funds upon
the Community Chest.
Though he began his medical ca
reer in general practice, DR.. John
son became interested in psychiatry
and joined the staff of St. Eliza
beth's Hospital In 1919.
Out Of this conviction he helped
in the formation of and worked
actively in the outpatient clinic
which was established in Trinity
Church in 1920. The preventive side
of his work there led him to see
more and more children who had
problems of adjustment in the COM
munity. Despite the very warm re-
ception his work received he felt
great dissatisfaction both because of
the limitations of time and staff.
Mrs. Barry on Management.
The clinic was available for work
with children only a half day each
week. Often it was necessary for
appointments to be made six months
ahead. Too, he found that it was
not enough to place a label on the
child's problems, but that much
work was needed to treat the child
and to help the parents. When this
service was discontinued in 1925 he
spent much time in the planning
which finally eliminated in the
establishment Of the Washington
! Child Guidance Clinic in 1890.

TOO BAD

1t is too bad that the feeling of tri-
umph. which we experienced this week
end because of the tremendous overSub-
scription of the S13.000.0 100000 Bond
Drive, should have been spoiled by John
l.. Lewis and his striking miners.
On the other hand il was we'll that we
as a nation bought bonds in excess of
the treaSuryS expressed wish. 1t does
much TO set lis right in the eyes of the
rest of the world. 1t demonstrates that
the Will of our 135,000,OOO people to win
this war is unShakeable.
The very fact that John l.. Lewis was
able to beat President Roosevelt to the
punch by twenty minutes last night is
hard TO understand. Lewis made it clear
that the 15-day reprieve came only be-
cause he expects to achieve through IckeS
what he could not get through the Nation
al Labor Board He also made it clear
that the miners are returning to work
Tuesday because of his order not because
of the Presidents plea.
Today bills are being proposed in con-
gress to make it a crime to strike in war
time. Instead revision of the admins
tratiOnS entire labor policy should be
considered The Wagner Act needs scrut-
iny and revision, if we are to escape fur
ther trouble such as the present coal
stoppage.
But it takes more than John L. Lewis
to spoil our Bond Drive triumph. We
salute the people who so willingly bought
more shares in their nation,

There are few businesses that
car give the same quality of service
il war time that they used to give
in peace time.
Most customers understand that,
Most are willing to make allowances
for slow, and often inferior service.
But there is ono thing they won't
make allowances fCr-and that is a
disCourteouS take what you can
get and like it. attitude Firms
that are offending in this respect
had better wake UP.
People will undcrstard and ac-
cept almost any kind Of service, if
there is a legitimate excuse for it,
and if the reason is explained to
them and regret expressed.
But it burns them up to be told
they arc lucky to get any service at

though their patronage were just a
nuisance.
Yet there are many firmS-doing

THERELL COME a DAY
But customers, like elephants
have long memories. They arc
going to remember when the wal

them with courtesy and cOnsidera-

than they could easily accom-

They are also going to remember
which ones Snubbed them and their
patronage.
And they are going to spend
their postwar dollars with the
firms that didn't get uppity when

USEFUL IN pEACETIME
Sacramento Bee)

Wide publicity has been given the en-
terprise shown by Florida taxicab con-
Germ which claims a saving of $4,000
miles and 1850 gallons of fuel in a single
week because it reduced hauls without
passengers.
This practice is one which nearly every
such cab fleet now employees. Telephone
stations in various parts of the COM
munity served are utilized. When a cab
is summoned the central operator notifies
the station nearest to the point where
the fare is waiting.
Hence it seems unwarranted praise for
the Florida fleet even though the tire
and gasoline situation and the general
ban on cruising no doubt have contributed
to the effort to conserve fuel and equip
ment.
The important thing to remember is
economics of operation practiced now by
taxicab fleets and private individuals,
too, should not be thrown out the win
dow after victory is won. There are
many things which are sensible under
wartime emergency which could be car
ried over into peacetime with consider
able profit.

RELIEF FOR AIRMEN
Gradually, an Army Air Force
system is being worked out TO give
combat and bomber pilots and
crews relief from active duty after
definite periods in the air. or in
actual contact with the enemy. The
office of the Army Air Surgeon,
Brig. Gen. David N. Grant. has set
up its own regulations for safe
guarding the health of air person.
mel. and today any flight surgeon
can order pilot or gunner ground
ed if he shows symptoms of nervous
tension or i'll health that might ad
versely affect his performance in
the air.
Maximum service for air force
personnel on active dutY at the
front is year for flying men, 13
months for ground crews. Ideally.
it has been suggested that flying
men get one weeks rest every six
OF eight-WeekS. and that after so
missions or $50 hours flying time
over enemy territory, the flight
crews be given ground assignments
or brought back for long rests be-
fore they are assigned to active
duty.
