Gold Rusb Days Are Celebrated
BY USO H0stesses at Cav Dance

A gold rush dance" observing
the 96th anniversary of the discovery
of gold in Northern California. was
the novel attraction featured at the
USO Club at 1876 G street NV. last
night.
Ten USO hostesses who serve as
guides each Sunday at the National
Museum suggested the entertain
ment as a means of focusing atten-
ton on one of the smaller exhibits
at the museum which has been OF
interest to soldiers and sailors-the
original nugget of gold discovered
by James Marshall at Suffers Saw
Mill which started the California
gold rush in 1849.
Mrs. Sara @. Winsborough, pro-
gram director at the club, approved
the idea of celebrating the famous
event in American history and per-
mitted the hostesses to spotlight the
event at the regular Saturday night
dance.
The program last night included
special features, a pick ak" number

it goes to pay bad debts and SO the
clothes to help him get that job are
a necessity. We intend to keep going
until all our servicemen, mustered
out, are taken care Of" she de-
clared. "To do this, We need the
help and cooperation of the stay
at-homes in giving us good cloth
ing that can be repaired and made
over. We also need more women
to sew and get things ready to be
given out"
Mrs. Langhorne explained that
ever since it's foundation shortly
after Pearl Harbor, Bundles for
America has been giving clothing to
children and women of service
mems families, in addition to knit
ting woolen articles of clothing for
men in the Army, Navy, Coast
Guard and Marines.
Now the need is more and more
for mems clothes" she commented.
The organization chairman ex-
planned how old and new clothing
is gladly received at the shop on
Connecticut avenue, where it is re-
modelled and rebuilt to suit the
needs of those who call for it. A
group of volunteer women meets
each day at the shop, where clothes
are mended, remodeled and pressed.
A local cleaning establishment has
donated its services to clean and
press clothing, but in spite of these
kindly donations, Bundles for Amer
ica has need of more clothing and
more volunteer workers, Mrs. Lang
horne declared.
Mrs. Herbert S. Rogers, head of
the shops sewing department,
could find work for many more
volunteer sewers, it was explained.
While clothing for men has now
become a new objective, Bundles
for America still aims to assist the
women and children of servicemen.
"Allotments take care of food and
lodging, but they don't go far in
clothing the families particularly
when there are several little ones
for whom to provide" Mrs. Lang
horn pointed out.
Following her return from the
West Coast, wheresShe has gone to
attend the wedding of a relative.
Mrs Langhorn will call a meeting
of her board to plan an intensive
campaign for clothing and equip
ment for the sewing shop at 26Ol
Connecticut avenue.
I'VE not only want and need
clothes. but we could also use sew
ing machines and electric irons If
anyone wishes to donate them" she
smiled.
More women are needed to knit
for the men in the service. Mrs
Langhorn added, and those who will
call at the shop will be given all
the wool they need.
There is great need for knit
ted things she concluded and
any woman who will knit gloves
will be welcomed with open arms.
Navy regulation scarves are next
on the list and socks take third
place on articles needed"

The young man did not know
that the Army Emergency Relief
Society had already called the

learned it from his mother, a
widow of a World War I veteran

the soldier, had just received a
medical discharge from the Army
His illness was of nature which
made further active duty impoS-
sible and, until he improved. only
part-time work would be possible
for him. He had left civilian cloth
ing at home when he entered the
Army two years before, but he had
grown during that time and the
clothes no longer fitted him. The
money he received when mustered
out would be needed for food and
other necessities until he could find
employment He could not afford
to buy a new suit and without
proper civilian clothes how could he

IGNORANCE BY DESIGNq

IGNORANCE BY DESIGN?
Here is how Time, the smart

on recent terrorism in Palestine:
Just before midnight, the dread
Hagana struck" The report also
refers to Zionist outlaws" Times
efficient editors should know that
the Hagana is a self-defense or
ganizatiOn formed as a conse-

adequate protection. Hagana has
never acted, except in self-defense.
Responsibility for the terror has
already been claimed by the Irgun

GRITTY. Some time ago our bosses
of the Independent Jewish Press
Service called Times attention to
their error in referring to the
Multi of Jerusalem as the ex-
Mufti. Our bosses pointed out
that he is still Mutt, and quoted
the Colonial Secretary on the SUBJ
ject. Time never corrected the
error, and replied by letter that
he was Mufti only technically.
This is splitting hairs. He is still
the Multi, and it is important
that this fact be stressed as it is
indicative of British policy in
Palestine Arthur KrOck of
the New York Times refers to
DrS. Silver and Wise as "ZiOnist
clergymen." A Zionist is proud
to be identified as such, and a
clergyman is proud to be identi-

one as "Zionist rabbi" is errOn-
