Christmas Card Stores Here Swomped by Demands

Christmas cards, geared to war
time simplicity in design, are selling
faster than ever: before, according
to survey conducted by The Star,
but many persons will receive cards
Just like the ones they send.
Because of Washington's greatest
demand-cards to send overseas
most stores started selling them in
August or early September. Greet
ing card counters have been
swamped ever since. As one clerk
put it, isn't it awful? Sure makes
the Christmas season long.
Few are the military designs this
year, however. Consensus is that

Mrs. Roosevelt Seeks
10 Air Proposal for
Government Girl Club
Invites Cabinet Wives
To Lunch for Discussion
OF Funds for Plan

The wives of all cabinet members
have been invited by Mrs. Roose-
welt to a luncheon at the White
House tomorrow to discuss pro-
posal by group of Government
girls for establishment Of a huge
downtown recreational club for Gov
ernment girls only.
While she herself is not advocat-
ing the plan, Mrs. Roosevelt said
she did want to bring it to the at
tention of the cabinet wives for them
to find out from their husbands
through the Government employe
counselors if each departments well
fare funds might be put into such
an organization.
Emphasizing that she is only help
ing to air this proposal, not back it,
Mrs Roosevelt said, Il don't plan
anything, you know. I don't plan
to educate any one about anything
AS she has heard it, the club
would furnish dinner and speeches
and other recreational activities for
girls who live far from their place
of employment downtown. 1t had
been suggested to help combat turn
over among Government employees,
particularly the girls who seem to
get tired and lonely" Mrs. Rooee-
welt said. She said the group who
asked her to consider the club was
called the Government Girls Club
and had started as an organization
to sell War Bonds.
Mrs. Roosevelt revealed the White
House is having trouble getting
cigarettes, too-she cannot buy them
in cartons any more. Instead, In
dividuals have been bringing their
own packs to the White House.
Sometimes there are not even
enough to pass around to the guests,
the Presidents wife concluded.
The Presidents wife added she
was sure her husband would want
to have the Community Christmas
Tree again this year on the White
House lawn. Formal requests for it
by the Recreation Board and the
District Commissioners has not yet
been answered by the White House.
