By the Way
BETH BLAINE

Mrs. Nathan Levy says that hel
Red Cross interests date back te
the last war when, at the age of l3
she did an hour of volunteer work
each day after school. MY whole
family was so Red Cross minded
she told us, that I honestly don't
think they would have let me in
the house if hadnt t reported that
Red Cross work to them each day"
One of the most efficient and
hardest working volunteers in the
Arlington County Chapter, Mrs.
Levy has to her credit over eight
years of volunteer Red Cross work.
First she was chairman OF knitting,
now she is chairman of Public In
formation Service for the Arlington
County Chapter and a member of
both the Executive Committee and
the Board OF Directors. She is also
on loan from the Arlington Chapter
to the Arts and Skills program of
the District Chapter for the special
project which deals with helping
the men blinded in this war who
are patients at Walter Reed Hos
pital. She was chosen for this spe-
cific and important assignment be-
cause for the past eight years she
has worked with Miss Cora Fitton at
the Columbia Polytechnic Institute
for the Blind.
An alert and energetic woman,
Mrs. Levy is definitely of the 60
getter type. 1t is she alone who
gets out the very interesting little
Red Cross publication for Arlington
County-the Chapter Bulletin-for
which she does everything except
the printing. She even does the
She still manages to
keep her status with Red Cross
production and in spite of the
various other jobs she does she
has turned in 400 hours of knitting
so far this year. "When?" we asked.
"Oh I do that when I'm home in
the evening listening to the radio"
she said.
A native of New York, Mrs. Levy
received her education in New
England and came to live in Wash
ington when her husband was sent
here as an engineer for the Gov
ernment. She lives, eats and breathes
Red Cross work-and for those rare
occasions when she takes time out
for relaxation she likes best to 60 to
a concert, she says.

A fire which broke out during the
revolt destroyed two square blocks

death at am. April 10 and shot

nothing official on the fate of the
civilian participants.

the racial and nationaistic groups
have always constituted a facto,

parties hotly competed. Both ma

large part of their funds in sub

speakers, distributing foreign Ian
guage literature and in special
drives to line up the leaders of these
groups.
