THE SITUATION: You have sent a Christmas package to a man over seas.
 WRONG WAY: Say nothing about the package and if he never thanks you for it assume that he just neg lected that courtesy.
 RIGHT WAY: Write him that you mailed him a Christmas box-so that even though he should never receive it he will know you thought enough of him to send a gift box.

Mrs. Roosevelt Tells Guild Class
OF Start as Presidents Reporter

| As it turned out, Mrs. Roosevelt
fell down on that investigation, she
admitted. She failed to find out
what the children would be served
for dinner, the institutions ward ca
pacity and did not ask to see more
than the head of the home showed
her. The President was quite dis
turbed at the incompleteness of her
inspection, she said.
Mrs. Roosevelt said she decided
then to develop her powers of OBJ
servation.
Since then, Mrs. Roosevelt said,
people have told her they never
saw anybody who could ask SO many
unpleasant questions.
The ability to see and dig for in
formation and understood what is
seen comes with experience, Mrs.
Roosevelt told the class.
But reporters must have more
than curiosity-they must have SYM
! pathy, she added.

0PA 10 Renew Drive
To End District Area
Gas Black Market
Investigators to Check
Motorists Buying Fuel
At Filling Stations

The District OPA, backed up by
local gasoline retailers and automo-
bile clubs, today prepared to open a
new drive to halt black market oper-
ations in gasoline in the Metropoli-
tan Area.
Details Of the campaign which
opens Monday were outlined to rep
resentatives of the American Auto
mobile Club, the Keystone Automo-
bile Club and the Gasoline Retailers
of Washington at meeting yester-
day in OPA headquarters.
Starting Monday, an undisclosed
number of OPA investigators will be
posted at stations through the city
to check rations of motorists. Any
one found with his coupons not
bearing license number and State
designation will be handed a notice
of hearing.
Coupons Must Be Endorsed.
The motorist will be given five
days in which to appear at his local
ration board with all coupons in
dorsed. Persons failing to appear
will be called for hearing at head
quarters, according to OPA plans.
Suspension of rations will follow
unless legitimate reason can be
given for failure to appear at the
local board.
District OPA Director Robert X.
Thompson stressed the drive will be
continued indefinitely and that In
time every station in the city will be
covered by inspectors.
Individual coupon Endorsements
is the only foolproof way to identity
the people responsible for leaks in
our rationing system" he declared
Mr.. Thompson pointed out that
the names of motorists whose ra-
tions have been suspended will be
announced from time to time. This
was the practice during the period
Of pleasure driving bans last year.
OPA Program Supported.
OPA officials received support of
their program from Harry VAIN
wright, representing the Gasoline
Retailers of Washington; George
Keneipp of Keystone and Jerry
Ryan of AAA. Mr.. Keneipp and Mr.
Ryan said they planned to send out
notices of the drive when license
plates are mailed members and that
in addition, persons appearing at
their offices for plates will have their
coupons Endorsed at that time.
OPA's educational program will
include radio announcements and
talks with citizens associations, Mr.
Thompson said.
Officials pointed out that the
length Of suspension OF rations
would depend ION the circum-
stances" Endorsement Of coupons
at the time of issuance has been q
regulation for some time, but this
marks the first attempt to crack
down on motorists.

FWA AI|ots S78,930
For Expansion Of
.ChiId-Care Facilities
FinoncioI Assistance
For District Program
Extended to July 81

Expansion in child care facilities
here was made possible today by
the Federal Works Agency when it
allotted an additional $78,930 from
Lanham Act funds, and extended
the period of FWA assistance from
February IA, when it would have
expired, to July 81.
In announcing allotment of the
additional funds, Maj. Gen. Philip
B. Fleming, FWA administrator
explained the previous allotment
was SIT 1868, making a total of $780,
2SS granted for the program since
its beginning May IA, 1943.
Six war nurseries for preschool-
age children, with an enrolment of
l32, and five centers for care of
children before and after school
with an enrolment Of 126, now are
operating. These will be increased
by the allotment.
During the extended period, the
District proposes to expand the pro-
gram to II war nurseries for $50
preschool-age children, and II CEN
tiers for care of $50 children before
and after school. The project was
recommended by the United States
ONCE OF Education. Federal Sc
curity Agency.
A readjustment of the financial
program also was announced by
Gen. Fleming who said the share of
the cost borne by the District will be
reduced from $66 1923 to SIS ,268. a
cut of $11,055. The administrator
explained that operating experience,
in conjunction with the hberalized
Federal assistance, indicate the re-
duced amount will be sufficient for
the extended period. The Districts
funds are made up of local contribu-
tions and fees charged for the care
of children.
Although virtually all funds ap-
propriated under the Lanham Act
for community facilities elsewhere
have been allocated, this project will
be financed from the balance of an
appropriation made specifically for
projects in the Washington Metro
politan Area.
