Planners Meet
Today 10 Study
Transportation
Members to Visit
Barney Circle and
Southwest Loop

TRAFFIC problems, playground de-
velopments, housing and population
studies were on the monthly agenda
of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission today.
Two traffic problems which invite
the immediate attention of the Fed
eral planners are those caused by
congestion at the Commodore
Barney Circle in the Southeast sec
ton and the street car loop at
Fourteenth street and Independence
avenue S.W.
The commission is also working
with the District Highway Depart
ment on various surface changes to
relieve traffic congestion at Six
tenth street and Columbia road
and at Rhode Island and Florida
avenues, both in the Northwest sec
ton. Those two intersections con-
tinue to be troublesome to motorists
in spite Of decreased use of auto
mobiles.
First Hand Study.
Members OF the commission will
visit some of those sites during the
afternoon, the main purpose of the
trip being to make first hand study
Of conditions at the street car loop.
The loop was intended as an expedi-
ent to serve until completion of the
underground car terminal at Four
teenth and c streets, designed to dis
tribute traffic coming from the new
Fourteenth Street overpass.
Since some objections have been
raised to the car loop removal, COM
mission members will determine
whether anything is to be gained by
continuing its use. A trip also may
be made to the Barry Circle, which
is just beyond Seventeenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue Sc. Many
have complained that this circle
interferes with traffic coming over
the Sousa Bridge during rush hours.
A report also will be made to-
morrow on the program of the Dis
trict Alley Dwelling Authority as
outlined in its own annual report
made public this week. At that
time, the ADA said it expects to
relieve the housing shortage within
the next six months with at least
4,307 dwellings for war workers.
Sites to Be Proposed.
The Planning Commission has
worked in close cooperation with
the ADA in planning sites for de-
mountable as we'll as permanent
housing projects and some new pro-
posed sites will be presented at this
session for its approval. Protests
have been made against some of
the proposed sites.
A progress report also will be
made on population studies in rela-
ton to hospitals and centers Of
Government employment in the city.
Authorities of Fairfax County. Vir-
ginia, have requested cooperation in
a population study of that county
and the entire Northern Virginia
area.
A number Of other matters will
come before the commission but
some Of these were explained as
confidential" The agenda includes
proposals for number Of street
closings and several projects for
playground development will come
up for action. The latter, it was
said, involve some of the projects
held up by the War Production
Board.

Bethesda Women Help Set Up
Essential Equipment for War
Housewives Sacrifice Time to Turn Out
B|nkers and Lamps Used by Services

"It's thrilling to be making some
thing today that the soldiers, sailors
and marines will be using tomorrow
in fighting the battle of freedom"
exclaimed a Bethesda housewife
who is taking enough time from
home duties to help the Falge En-
gineering Co. turn out blinker sig
nal guns and binocular signal lights
for the Navy, Coast Guard and
marines and rescue and debris
lamps for Army engineers.
This housewife is one OF 26 who
work from six to eight hours a day,
six days a week, in one of Bethes-
da's few defense plants. Most of
the women have college degrees, one
is the wife of a brigadier general,
several belong to a woman's club.
All are intent on doing something
definite for the war effort.
Took Special Course.
Falge's first woman worker was
Mrs Lewis Eisele, who only a few
months ago completed the war pro-
duction shop course offered in the
evening classes of the Bethesda
Chevy Chase High School because
she wanted to help her son, an avi-
alton officer, win the war. Mrs.
Eisele was Joined later by two other
members of her shop classes. Soon
other women became interested. The
feminine force now is expected to be
further increased as soon as other
women workers can be taught the
fundamentals of assembly.
Blinker signal guns are used to
flash messages back and forth be-
tween ships and their convoy. They
are also used as landing lights in
places where more powerful lights
might attract too much attention
The battery for the gun is carried
in a small container which can be
hung over the serviceman's shoulder.
Binocular signal lights, which are
fastened to binoculars worn by naval
officers, are used for the same pur-
pose as the blinker signal guns.
Rescue and debris lamps for Army
engineers are mounted on the front
of pontoon boats and are used as
searchlights in picking up river
f1otsam which might cause damage
to bridges.
Over hundred parts must be as
sembled to make up each of these
instruments. While many of the
parts are made in the Falge plant,
so subcontractors are used in manu-
featuring others. It is the job of
the women to assemble the parts
into a perfect whole.
At Least 4 Weeks Needed.
| From four to five weeks are re-
quired to train a woman to do the
work properly. Once they learn
most of them are very proficient.
There is thrill in taking mocha
nism apart and putting it together
again that is not gained from any
other process, the women workers
say. After the war is over some of
them intend to see what makes the
motors of their vacuum cleaners and
washing machines go round.
The paintroom, where all parts
are painted before assembly, is a
fascinating place to the women.
After spending hours trying to
paint some household article with

Teacher Shortage

tered military service, left the school

the aid of a paint brush, it's real
luxury to be able to use the spray
gum" said one worker "Of course
we often come out of the room look
ing like coal miners, but what's a
bit of paint when there's a war
going on?"
The two women who do most OF
the painting are graduates of the
University of Chicago. They were
classmates years ago but hadn't
seen each other recently until their
reunion in the shop.

WAR FOOD ADMINISTRATION
Nagaman Bnlldlng-The Circle
Georgetown, Delaware

All persons who slaughter live
stock must have a license or per-
NIT from the War Food Admins
tration to do so, Everett N. Can
non, WA Area Supervisor for Sus-
sex county, emphasized today.
On September /, VIA lifted the
restrictions on the amount of live
stock that a slaughterer could kill
by suspending slaughter quotas for
a period of two months. This quota
suspension, however, did not in
any way eliminate the require
ments that slaughterers must be
licensed by VIA.
One of the primary requirements
for obtaining a license els that
the applicant shall have a history
of slaughter for the base period
and shall have bee nable to, in
some manner, verify such a slaugh-
ter.
Mr.. Cannon said Anyone slaugh-
tering without a license or who
does not at present have a valid
permit is in violation of food dis
order No. 20, which pro-
vides stringent penalties for yio-
lations."
Applications for permits for
operating in Sussex

non. whose Office is located in the

RADIANT LIVING
TIE UPWARD LOOK
NJ REV. C. n 0RIFEETH
Faster Methodist chnreh. csellteu. Azs.

While deep among the lonely
hills of that new land into which
he had come. Ahram was one day
standing on the summit of one of
the heights. Before him stretched
out toward the distant horizon lay
a most fascinating scene OF green
valleys aud wooded hills.
And as he stood there contem-
plating the beauty which lay be-
fore him Abram was in deep
thought. Perhaps he was thinking
Of the homeland which he had left
behind. Or was it concerning the
possibilities of this land into which
the Lord had guided him. What
ever it might have been, there
broke into his deep meditations a
Voice which seemed to say: Lift
up now thine eyes and look from
the place where thou art, north
ward and southwark, and eastward
and westward. For all the land
which thou seest, to thee will l
give it and to thy seed forever"
This promise which the Lord
made to Abram as he stood there
on the mountain top may we'll be
called the Covenant of the Up
ward Look"
And l am writing this to say
that God seeks to make the same,
or, at least. a very similar covenant
with you. 1t is as though God is
saying to you right now as you
read this: Lift up your eyes from
the place where you ale (the kind
of life you are now living) and as
far as you can see, by picturing in
your mind, victorious. and radiant
life which you would like to be
that will l give you to
possess in actual experienced"
The upward look in vision is the
first step toward outward realiza- .
tion and possession.
This was the experience of even
the Prodigal Son. When he dared
to look up from the stencil and the
mire of the hogfield and caught a
vision of that better life which
might be his, there came to him
an inspiration which lifted him out
Of the disgraceful hogfield.
Why not. just now. dare to look
up from what you are and catch a
vision of what you would like to
be-?
