There is nothing that quite takes

common objective" she says from

varied experience as one of Wash

Critical problems lie Immediately
ahead in the travel picture. Military
demands on all transit facilities now
are at the highest peak of the year
and the shortage of cars is acute at
this phase of the war
The Office of Defense Transporta-
tion's special urgent appeal for the
curtailment of non-essential and
business travel from December IS to
January 8 should give pause to a
needless minority whose scramble
for reservations promises to give
burdensome interference with war
transportation.
The situation glimpsed from late
transportation figures show that
Pullman cars alone carried 26,976, ,908
passengers during the first nine
months of the year. This is an
increase of 143 per cent over the
11,087,565 transported in 1910 and
1873 per cent over the unprecedented
%, ,305 ,265 of 1943.
''The time honored tradition
Home for Christmas this season
will be the grandest Christmas pres
ent America can present to the men
of the armed forces, as many will be
visiting home for the last time be-
fore going overseas" the American
Express travel survey points out in
telling how the "stay-at- pa
triotically can greet Santa Claus
without hampering travel facilities
or using space and fuels.

A boom time" influx of Northern
visitors are descending on Florida
and the mid-South with the rail-
roads being deluged for reservations.
The Miami area, which tradi-
tionally opens its winter season De-
cember l, reports critical accom-
mediation shortage with the largest
number of daily arrivals in history.
Reports from Florida resort centers
predict banner season, headed by
st. Petersburg, Palm Beach,
Daytona, Sarasota and st. Angus
tine. An unusual event publicizing
the Florida cattle country will be
the Cattlemen's Rodeo at Lakeland,
scheduled for December 80 and

Reservations for resorts of the
mid-South and the Gulf Coast also
exceed those Of last season, as re-
ported from Sea Island, Pinehurst,
Southern Pines, Aiken and Biloxi.

uOly.
The reason for this probably is
that Mrs. Samuel G. Herrick in
varlably sees the task in hand in its
perspective to others and has a
happy genius for knowing to whom
she may turn for helping hand.
She is just as dependable and will
ing as team worker, too, as she is
a captain.
Tlreless as she is in her own war
efforts, she has been one of the city's
most earnest advocates that Wash
1ngton's prewar civic and charitable
projects must not be allowed to
lapse, but must be maintained up to
their fullest possible standards of
helpfulness and usefulness.
With the accumulated war strain
pushing women beyond their
strength, she feels it is essential for
them to budget their time and
strength, especially in taking on new
commitments. Learning to say No
wisely is as essential for a busy
woman as being pushed into Yes

Founder and first president of the

will Industries, Inc, Mrs. Herrick
has just succeeded Mrs. William o.
Douglas, who had succeeded her, in
a second term as president of this

capped employees of Goodwill Indus
tries in their posts of usefulness she
has been directing the energies of
the Guild toward the doll sale which
is now being held at the headquar-
ters at 1926 New Hampshire avenue

Metals in Heavy Demand
As War Needs Increase
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Demand
for the prime nonferrous metals
copper, lead and zinc-was reported
heavy during the past week as war
needs increased.
Domestic copper production de-
clined, trade quarters said, but
larger amounts of foreign copper
were moved to manufacturers.
Manpower shortages were blamed
for declining domestic copper out
put. This decline was reflected in
statistics showing 49O65 tons of
foreign copper were used in Novem-
ber, rise of 1887 tons over Oc-
tober. This more than offset a
drop of 1850 tons in domestic ship
ments. which aggregated 78,452 tons.
The lead industry talked of new
controls over the use of the heavy
metal, expected to result from the
continued drain on the Govern
ment-owned stockpile. AS discussed,
the War Production Board was be-
lieved planning to restrict use to
percentages of previous consumption.
Demand for high-grade zinc was
reflected in orders in anticipation
of expanded small arms and larger
caliber ammunition.
