Experience Teaches
Boy It's Easy to Get
Lost in Washington
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
Ry Michael Lateila, II,

George washington High School.
Getting lost or separated from
ones companions is easy in WASH
ington. I learned that soon after
my arrival here last winter.
Not having found a permanent
home, we were staying at a hotel
near Union Station. One day,
mother and I went to the station
and addressed some post cards to
mail in the automat. Mother gave
the cards to me to mail. saying, III
wait for you right here"
The automat intrigued me, and
I not enly mailed my cards, but
stayed a few minutes watching
others mail theirs. Then l couldn t
fird mother. / looked first where
had left her and then searched all
over the waiting room.
She must have gone back to the
hotel" I thought. So. running all
the way, l went to our room, but
she was not there.
Almost frantic, I rushed back to
the station and finally spied her
at the Travellers Aid desk, asking
about having me PACED.
why didn't you wait where you
said?" I asked.
But I did. my dear" she an
swered. II sat down right there
on the end of the bench by the
table, where we wrote our cards, and
read my paper"
So that explained it. She had
hidden herself behind a paper. and
I looked for her beside the table.
Again, on F street NV, we were
walking with the crowd when an
automobile struck two women. In
the excitement, I broke away from
mother and was soon lost in the
throngs pushing to see what had
happened. Luckily, she caught up
with me as the police made us
move on. But right then and there,
we decided we must have some set
rule to go by in case we again
get separated. This being my first
time in downtown Washington, I
wouldn't have known even the way
back to the hotel.
The rule decided on was: "If lost,
first look around where you left
the other one; If not found, go
directly to the nearest corner on
the the side of the street where
you were separated. Wait there Is
minutes. If the other does not
come, go home, or. in my case, ask
a policeman to help me get home"
Besides, mother had me write my
name and hers, together with our
address, on a card and keep it in my
wallet at all times.
Well, we finally found home, and
I began in school, and mother went
to her job with the Government,
so we have had no more trouble.
But our rule still holds, just in case.

Hobby After Many Failures

that had taken months to complete.
Instead of brooding over his bad

new gas model known as the Super

During the spare time that he is
not actually working on his models.
Gerald is reading some of the nu-

the bookcase in his room. One Of
his more successful stick" models
was completed in IS minutes by fol-
lowing the directions from one Of
these magazines.
Although some Of the materials
that he used in constructing his
models are very scarce now, Gerald
still believes his hobby cannot be

For now they are models for a large
downtown store.
At first, they were instructed on
how to walk properly, how to apply
makeup and how to choose the cor
rect clothing and accessories. But
while they insist that's all there is
to it," I know that plenty of hard
work and practice were mixed in.
The twins usually model the same
outfits together, in different colors.
The apparel they display is OF vari-
Gus types, such as sports clothes,
dresses, evening gowns, furs and

Gerald's first experience in con-
structing model airplane may serve
as bit of advice for those just be-
ginning to take up this hobby.
Gerald decided to build a model
that proved to be far too complicated
for beginner. This first disillusion-
ment almost caused him to give up
his hobby. Later, he realized that
he would have to start from the
bottom and work up.
Two years ago he completed
gas model that remains his favorite.
1t is red cabin plane and is called
the "Coipper Clipper"
One of his saddest experiences
took place about one year ago.
Gerald worked steadily for months
on a gas model. He worked and
saved even longer to obtain the $50
necessary to construct the plane. At
last, on Easter Sunday, the plane
was completed!
Imagine the pride he felt as every
one admired his achievement. But
that same afternoon his plane
cracked up. It had taken exactly

Ilona Deak-Ebner MRS. Tage
U. H. Ellinger is having her first
solo exhibition in Washington at
the Whyte Gallery. 1t opened Feb
ruary and remains only through
next Thursday. Although she is a
comparative newcomer, she has ex-
hibited as Washington painter,
with the Society of Washington Ar
fists, and at the Pennsylvania Acad-
emy of Fine Arts, as we'll as in New
York City and Chicago.
The exhibition is fresh, colorful
and pleasing. 1t has no hint of
war, no social overtones, and the
artists technique is not expert
mental. Her work is impressionist
or ''plein-airist" in character. Sub
jects are varied, including flower
paintings Zone lent by the Vice
President and Mrs. Wallace), land
scapes, interiors, portraits, figures
and harbor scenes.
Mrs. EIinger was born in Hun
gary. Her father, Louis Deak-
Elmer, was a painter and director
of the Royal Hungarian Art Acad-
envy, from which she received her
masters degree in fine arts in 1886.
A government fellowship enabled
her to continue her studies in SWe-
den. She married DR.. Ellinger, a
Danish-born American citizen, and
came to the United States in 1942.
She continued her study of painting
here in Washington at the Corcoran
School of Art under Mr.. Lahey and
Mr.. Weisz. She is now an instructor
in art history at Trinity College.
Her exhibition, a six-years' retro
spective, includes paintings done IN
Sweden, Washington and Maryland.
my Stockholm window" bright

ington Cathedral" both capture
successfully the beneflcient twilight
of church interiors. "The Water
front, Washington" with three men
fishing, and several scenes along
Chesapeake Bay are faithful tran
scriptions of the respective subjects.
After her years in Sweden, Mrs.
Ellinger went to Paris, where she
became interested in the impress
sionists, particularly Degas. His in
fluence is felt in her small canvas
"Ballerine," which was exhibited at
the Corcoran Gallery last year.
In addition to more than 20 paint
ings, Mrs. Ellinger shows 10 prints
which demonstrate her acquaintance
with various graphic media. dry

USO Ant Exhibition
United Service Organizations 3rd
birthday, February 4, is being cele-
brated with several events, including
an art exhibition at the National
Museum, foyer of the Natural His
tory Building. Works in various
media have come from many cities.
Washington makes very creditable
showing among them.
More than 100 items on view in
clude paintings, prints, sketches,
sculpture, handicrafts and photog-
raphy. Some of the work is by serv-
icemen on leave or convalescing
from battle wounds; other exhibits
are by war workers under USO
auspices. A third category includes
the work of trained artists, some of
whom have volunteered their tai
ents: art students and others of pro-
fesssicnal caliber.
A group of charcoal and crayon
portraits of servicemen done at
NTAA Lounge, Union Station, in
cludes one by Newman Sudduth of
The Star art staff, whose admirable
series Of Heroes of the Washington
Area" Is we'll known. Several large
charcoal drawings on gray paper
from Aberdeen, Md, are among the
good things in the exhibition: un-
fortunately, they are anonymous or
signed illegibly.
Sergt. Ards Hughes, muralist for
the Armys Back the Attack" show,
is represented with two excellent
wash drawings, one of a soldier
asleep in the Salvation Army USO
Club, the other of servicemen and
girls entertaining themselves at the
YWCA USO at Seventeenth and X
streets. Impressions of USO," a
mural painting done by Pvt. Percy
Kicks and Doris Brown of Howard
University Art School for the Phyl-
lis Wheatley YWCA, is a cheerful
composition of many figures, in
fresh light colors.
An entire case is given over to
more than 20 photographs taken in
Africa by Sergt. Earl Jennings,
U. S. A., and developed at the YWCA
USO Club here. All of these are
interesting, with picturesque subject
matter; some of them have esthetic
merit, with subjects carefully select
ed and composed. Another case has
a series of photographs by Corpl. E

veloped at the USO Club, 1912 North

I like to hear the whistling winds,
And wish the skies were always
blue;
I see wet, cleaning blades of grass
Like diamonds in the early dew.
I hear the wind that chills each day
With breezes from the sky,
And think the gray fog is a cloak,
The wind lullaby.
I like to see the morning sun
When dawn is in the air;
Here, where Queen Nature reigns in
peace,
And God is everywhere.
