By the Way
BETH RLAINE

Well wager that sometimes you
get pretty weary of making the beos
in your own home. How would you
feel about making up 5000 beds
every weekend night? Well, that's
what the Girl Scouts Of the District
of Columbia volunteered to do so
weary servicemen would have a place
to sleep.
During school vacation months the
beds were assembled in various local
schoolrooms. More recently they've
been at the Uline Arena, but that
service has ended and the plans for
their next move have not yet been
completed by the War Hospitality
Committee.
The Girl Scouts do a great many
other things for community service
throughout the city. They recently
assembled all the material, en-
yelopes. cards, indexes, ETC., used by
the volunteer Community War Fund
Drive solicitors. They serve as hos
pital aides at George Washington
Hospital and work in various war
activities all over the city. They
have permanent Scout camp at
Harrisonburg and many local day
camps in Washington.
One of the very good reasons for
the efficiency and ability of these
Girl Scouts is the caliber of their
leaders, such as Mrs. j. Harris
Franklin, commissioner for Girl
Scouts for the District of Columbia
Small, alert and attractive, Mrs.
Franklin does an amazing amount
in one day-and does it every day.
She has been in Scout work for %
years and has held practically every
Office in the organization. She also
is president of the Women's Auxil-
iary of st. Johns Church, George
town, and recently assisted in their
drive for clothing for refugees, as
she assists in all the work of the
church. In addition to this volun-
teer work, Mrs. Franklin conducts
her own business.
A native of Southern Maryland,
Mrs. Franklin and her young daugh-
ter now call Washington home.
Daughter does her share working for
the Junior League and the War Hos
pitality Committee. Both share a
love for music. Mrs. Franklin plays
and sings, enough for her own
amusement, she says-and all the
kings horses and all the kings men
couldn't drag her away from q good
concert!

pa fireproofing material is
being applied to the sideshow
tents of the Ringing Brothers
and Barnum and Bailey circus
before the big show resumes its
tour with stadium showing at
Akron, Ohio, August 4.
The method of fireproofing
tents to prevent a repetition OF
the July 6 fire at Hartford,
Conn, in which l64 persons lost
their lives, was demonstrated
by circus officials yesterday.
A section of chemically treat
ed sideshow tent was put under
the flame of a blow torch. The
canvas glowed bright red IS
the flame was applied. When
the blow torch was removed the
glow died out and a hole with
charred edges remained. Circus
officials said the test indicated
the method would prevent tents
from burning spontaneously.

Farm Planning
Group Studies
Veterans Aid

LANSING, July Is - (P) -
The State Office of Veterans
Affairs reported today that
county land use planning COM
mittees will assemble a "stock
pile" of farming opportunities in
Michigan counties to aid dis
charged servicemen who wish
to take up farming as a liveli-
hood.
Instructing local veterans
counseling services to refer all
would-be farmers to county
Agricultural Agents for practical
advice. the office warned that
many servicemen desiring
farm of their own face economic
disaster unless they are care
fully guided.
The planning committee sur
veys. to be kept up to date, are
to include lists of openings for
hired men. farms for rent. farm
partnerships, farm manager pos
itions, farms for sale. and allied
agricultural jobs such as truck
ing, feed grinding, travelling
blacksmith and mari digging.
The Office of Veterans Affairs
said Efforts to place veterans on
farms would be misguided un-
less they were restricted to men
who have a real interest and
aptitude for farming. 1t said
they also must be guided to
lands and locations suitable to
successful production. and that
care must be taken not to de-
moralize farm markets by over
supply.
