By the Way
BETH BLAINE

The Walsh Club for civilian
war workers is filling very vital
need in crowded Washington, and
here are some Of the reasons
why :. There are hundreds and
hundreds of young people here,
doing vital and sometimes even
dangerous war work OUT of uni
form. Often the men have tried
unsuccessfully to get into active
service and been deferred be-
cause of some minor disability.
So they do the next best thing
and get themselves a civilian war
job. Sometimes the girls have
left comfortable homes and good
paying jobs in far-away cities to
come to Washington and live in
cramped and uncomfortable
quarters in order to take a job
that they feel is helping to win
the war. These young people
need relaxation and little fun
now and then too-just as our
boys and girls in uniform do.
And that's where the Walsh Club
comes in, because it's special
club for just these boys and girls
and men and women who are
not in uniform.
1t was generous Mrs. Edward
Beale Mclean who made pos
sible the Walsh Club by giving
the garage of the property of her
parents, the late Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas F. Walsh, for the dura-
ton. She also gave good deal of
the furniture, some that had be-
longed to her mother, other pieces
from old Friendship. The club is
stated and operated by the Dis
trict of Columbia Recreation De-
partment and the funds are pro-
vided by the War Hospitality
Committee of the Community
War Fund. Volunteers, who are
club members themselves, con-
duct the classes in Spanish, in
dancing and in music. There's
a juke box and a piano in the big
lounge downstairs and chess for
the older members on the upper
floor. There are games and spe-
cial dances every week and once
in while the members get to-
gether and put on few dramatic
skits that are really excellent
or every now and then the more
domestically inclined young
women get together and prepare
a really delicious home cooked
meal in the well-eQuipped kitch-
en-. Then, too, there are round
table discussions every Sunday
afternoon; sometimes there's a
guest speaker, but always it's in
teresting and members of every
age take part.
One of the ten women on the
original committee when the club
first opened is attractive Mrs.
Byron Price, wife of the we'll
known newspaperman. Mrs.
Price is in charge of public re-
lations for the club under Mrs.
James Lands, who is chairman.
Small, alert and smartly dressed,
Mrs. Price brings enthusiasm
and sparkle to her job. She
likes people and is, she says, do
mestically inclined. When the
club was being renovated she
pitched in and helped upholster
furniture while some of the other
volunteers painted.

lsed. Congress makes the decisions. The
kind of Congress which passes anti
union legislation, encourages initiation,
stalls on social security and follows con-
servative business leadership on postwar

In a democracy, our national represen-

and are willing to work for; so are
members of city councils. The survival
of modern society depends on the work
