Helen Gohogon Doesn't

She doesn't know whether her
movie actor husband, Army Maj

Burma-India theater, has heard
Of her victory Tuesday in Cali
fornia's 14th Congressional Dis

talent entertainments there.
AS a Congressional newcomer,
Miss Gahagan said, she'll be
content to listen pretty much.
And Of course vote she
added in her airy, vibrant voice
that conveys a quick wit.
OF references to her as the
Democrats glamor girl, Miss
Gahagan snaps one emphatic
word
SILLY"
The actress has brown hair
and gray-blue eyes. She was
born in 1900 in Boonton, n. J.
Right now her main concern
is preparing her Hollywood Hills
home for rental when she leaves

Army Trains Men
for Big Payoff'
U. S. Trying TO Cut
Usual Red Tape

LAKE PLACID, n. Y.-U.P-
The Army Ground and Service
Forces Redistribution Station at
Lake Placid Club has Speeded
up its program for the returning
overseas veteran even 10 the
stage Of paying him off" before
he reaches this Adirondack
Mountain installation.
A new pay-plan, believed to
be tried here for the first time
by any Army Redistribution Sta
ton, has proved so successful
that it will become a stated pol
icy Of the station, according TO
Col. Frederick B. Dodge, Jr.,
commanding officer.
Realizing that most return
ing war veterans will be anX-
ious over their financial status,
the new plan provides that each
returnee will receive-before he
gets here-a check in the full
amount of any monies for back
pay, overseas pay, or ration
money due him.
The plan is simple and is de-
signed to get around the usual
Army red tape" when it comes
to soldier pay. Here's how Uncle
Sam squares off with his CTS;
A paying officer will board all
incoming trains, ask each re-
turnee for copy of his orders
assigning him here, and check
his Identification tags. If they
jibe, he is handed a check in the
amount due him. There's no pay
roll signing and no long pay
lines cuStomarily seen in the
Army. With his records here
ahead Of him, it's easy for the
Finance Department to deter
mine exactly how much he
should be paid. The soldiers are
able to cash their checks i'm
mediately on reaching the Lake
Placid Club.

Mrs. David Dwyer
Reaches 93rd Year

Mrs. Sue Burton Dwyer and her
daughter, Mrs. Nathaniel B. Elk
ins, were at home to their friends
informally over the weekend in
celebration of the 93rd birthday of
Mrs. Dwyer on Friday. Many of
her friends who could not visit
her at "Bleakwood," near Unity,
on Friday did so on Saturday and
Sunday.
On a recent visit to her great
granddaughter, Mrs. William
Woodfeld, and her family at Nor
folk, Mrs. Dwyer, who loves the
water, went in bathing every day
but three which were too cold for
any of the party. Though her
Goth birthday was spent in a cast
as the result of a broken hip, Mrs.
Dwyer now walks as spryly as
ever. She keeps up to date and
has good use of all of her facul-
ties.
Bleakwood was built for nr.
David Dwyer just before he mar
ried Sue Barton almost 70 years
ago. DIR. Dwyer died in 1924. His
widow has continued to live in the
house surrounded by many memen-
tos of the Dwyer and Burton fam
lilies. They had only the one
daughter, Myrna, now Mrs. Elhins,
Sue Burton was a student at St
Vincent's School for Girls, in
Washington, when President Lin
coin was shot by John Wilkes
Booth. She had attended his Sec
ond inaugural and she viewed his
body as it lay in state. She lived
for a time with her parents ir
Triadelphia, the ill-fated towr
that is now at the bottom of Tria-
delphia Lake, of which she has
many vivid recollections.

Plea For Help!

Girls and women of Rockville
Does a bridge game Wednesday or
Tuesday night mean more to you
than saving the life of a Marine
dying on South Pacific Island
or easing the pain of a legless
soldier in France?
He might be your son, your hus-
band. We all know some man,
somewhere, fighting. If you could
actually be beside him and watch
that man fall, your first thought
would be to help him.
You can help. Right here in
Rockville. This town is your bat
tlefront-but are you fighting?.
"Gauze for the Cause" is what
we mean. The Epicopal Church
Parish Hall is filled with gauze
and only handful of women tc
roll it into bandages. Won't you
do this for your man in uniform
Syncronize your time. Tuesday
nights at 7:30 P. M. and all day
Wednesdays from 10 in the morn.

Notes From
HEALTH DEPT. :

Miss Sadie Gladwin, R. NJ, will
take up her duties as Supervisor
of Montgomery County Public
Health Nurses on August Is. Dur
ing the past several years Miss
Gladwin has held similar
position in Allegheny County
Health Department.
Miss Frances Buck, Nurse Con-
cultant on veneral diseases, State
Department of Health, and her
assistant, Mrs. Edna Schroeder,
have been visiting Montgomery
County Health Department clinics
the past week, and advising the
public health nurses in charge.
Another rabid dog was picked up
by Montgomery County Police on
August End, on a farm near Der
wood. SO far as is known the
animal had not bitten either people
or other animals, but until it is
certain that no new cases develop
the dog quarantine must continue
in effect. It will be some weeks
before this can be determined.
People who release pets to become
strays, instead of having unwant-
ed animals killed, perform no act
of mercy. 1t merely means that
the animals are neither confined
where rabid animals cannot reach
them, nor are they protected by
vaccination.

Red Cross Sends
Varied Menus To
Prisoners Of War

To vary the diet of American
prisoners Of war in European
camps, the American Red Gross
now is packing six different stand
ard weekly food packages.
The food parcel now being re-
ceived by the men contains: ascor-
bic acid, biscuits, cheese, chocolate
bars, cigarettes, coffee, corned
Ibeed, chopped ham, jam, liver
paste, dried milk, oleomargarine
prunes, salmon, soap, and sugar
The variations will not reduce
the essential food values, but will
include a different kind of biscuit,
tuna instead of salmon, corned
beef hash substituted for plain
corned beef, honey for jam, meat
and vegetable stew for chopped
ham, or other changed items. Some
of the packages will contain cereal
of one kind or another.
Volunteers at each of the three
packing centers in New York,
Philadelphia, and st. Louis will
pack one type of package at a
time, so that supplies may be han
died easily. Once month one of
the centers will pack especial par
Gel containing dried eggs, dried
onions, and can of peaches.
To the newly captured prisoner,
the food in the package may be
enough in itself; but after sew
eral months of exactly the same
diet, he will welcome the thought
that his food parcel may be lit
tie different when he opens it next
week.
Beachhead operations in Nor
mandy already include 16 Amer
lean Red Cross clubmobiles, fully
stated by Red Cross girls, and
are now serving troops with cof-
fee and doughnuts, according to
word received by Mr.. Basil O'Con-
nor, National Chairman of the Red
Cross. "In addition to a fine club
for enlisted men in Cherbourg,"
continues the report, "an attrac-
tive club is also operating for Off
GERS, and there are already eight
field clubs to serve the military
forces. Red Cross women recrea-
ton workers are with all evacua-
ton hospital units, and field direc-
tors are on duty at their proper
posts, many of them having landed
during the first days of action.
Every Red Cross project for our
soldiers is progressing on sched-
ule."
