Horning Pawn Shop
Wins in Appeal Of
$4,000 Judgment
Ey the Associs ted Press.

=
RICHMOND, Va. May IA
$4,000 judgment awarded to Nc
Aleenans, New York pawnbrokers,
by Federal Court at Alexandria, was
reversed today by the Fourth Circuit
Court of Appeals, which has re-
manded the case with directions
that Judgment be entered for the
defendant, George D. Horning, Inc,
Arlington County pawnbrokers.
McAleenans had sued for the sum
for loans on jewelry pawned to it
in 1941 by Mrs. Margaret Boyle of
Washington, a daughter of former
Chairman c. c. McChord of the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
She received the loan for diamond
and star sapphire jewelry, and was
accompanied on the trip by one of
the partners of the Horning firm.
She already had reached the limit
of her credit with the Horning
company, records showed.
1t was found later that the jewelry
pawned by Mrs. Boyle had been
placed in her possession "in memo
randum for the purpose of sale, but
she, in violation of the terms of the
memorandum, and without holding
title, pawned the jewelry and ap-
propriated the proceeds"
McAleenans charged that Mrs.
Boyle was acting as an agent of
Mornings, and sued to recover the
$1,000, and was awarded it by the
District Court. The appellate court
held there was mo substantial evi-
dence here" to support that verdict.
The appellate court upheld the
defendants contention that Mrs.
Boyle was not the agent of the
Horning company, but had nego-
tiated a personal loan and that
such "was made clear to McAlee-
mans. ="

ing the consent of parents, Judge
Lord continued:
Il base my action in issuing

new law unconstitutional. He
presides in the eleventh judicial
district, of which Monroe county

SERVICE STRIPES PRESENTED GRAY G
LADIES AT MEETING OF RED cross

Presentation of service stripes
highlighted ceremonies. at a meet
ing of the Hospital and Recrea-
ton Corps, Key West Chapter.
American Red Cross. held Thurs
day afternoon at the home of Mrs.
La Carva, GA White street.
Capt. j. B. Logue, commanding
officer of the u. S. Navy Hospi-
tai, commended the organization
in a brief address for their splen-
did efforts and many achieve
ments in providing recreation and
diversion. for the hospitalized SER
vice men stationed here.
"Since its inception in 1924"
Capt. Logue said, "the Gray La
dies, as they are Familiarity called,
have performed countless serv-
ices to hospitalized patients, boost
ing their morale and providing
diversional recreation"
The service had its beginning
in 1918 at Walter Reed General
Hospital, Washington, ID. G. When
the Red Cross convalescent and

May, 1918, Mrs. Henry Rea was
asked by Miss Mabel T. Beard-
man, secretary of the American
National Red Cross, to take
charge.
A group OF Red Cross volun-
teerS were recruited to work in
the recreation house and in the
hospital. In those days, the vol
unteers had no formal uniform
but wore gray dresses and so were
called Gray Ladies" by the serv-
ice men. These women made a.
place for themselves at Walter
Reed, and thir services were APP
preciated and valued. In 1924,
the first training course was ar
ranged by officials of Walter Reed
Hospital in collaboration with
Miss Boardman and Mrs. Rea,
who was the first full time volun-
teer field director. This course has
become the basis of a standard.
lied instruction which varies to
meet the needs of particular
hospital, either federal or civil
ian.
In the absence of Mrs. Nora
Smiley, chairman of the Hospital
and Recreation Corps, Mrs, Pa
line Hemingway, assistant tchafr-
