iliI W years OF FOlunCecr CIVIC
and war work is the amazing
record of Mrs. Leonard B.
Schloss. who recently was ap-
pointed National Red Cross
Home Service Correspondent.
What's more, Mrs. Schloss is a
full-time volunteer. She gets to
her desk at $3.50 in the morning
and Is there until 5 Cor later)
in the afternoon, every day,
six days a week. Think that over,
some OF you ladies who can't
find any time for volunteer work!
A native of Scranton, Pa,
Mrs. Schloss gave up her am
bition to become concert pianist
when she met Mr.. Schloss, and
married instead. She came to
Washington as young bride,
and although she looks far too
young for 1t, during the last war
she played the pipe organ in
various churches throughout the
city where special soldier serv-
ices were held. AS president of
the Washington Section of the
National Council of Jewish
Women, she attended the first
meeting of the Washington Com
munity Chest and helped in its
organization. For three years
she was chairman of the Speak
ers' Bureau of the Community
Chest and also a member of its
Executive Board. An excellent
speaker-she says all her training
is self-imposed-she speaks ex-
temporaneously always. She has
done much public speaking for
the Red Cross and the Commu-
nifty Chest. and on behalf of the
National Council of Jewish
Juniors, for which she was
senior advisor for 10 years.
Before Pearl Harbor, Mrs.
Schloss worked for the O.CD.
She was area chairman for the
Cathedral Heights Victory Vol
unteers and assistant to the
Deputy Warden. Later she was
appointed unit chairman for the
Emergency Division'of the D. C.
Chapter Red Cross Home serv-
ice, all of which led to her
present appointment.
Mrs. Schloss probably finds
ner present job the most stimu-
lating of all. Through her active
fingers pass thousands of radio
grams every day radiograms
from field directors overseas.
with all sorts and types of emer-
yency messages from the SOL
iiers to their folks back home;
and from Red Cross chapters
al over this country almost as
many family messages to be
to the fighting men.
Imagine all the research and
checking this entails. A soldier
wants to know why he hasn't
heard from his family for six
weeks. Are they all right? Will
The Red Cross check and let him
know? Another soldier is wor-
lied because his wife's expecting
baby and has no one to help
Ter. Will the Red Cross do some
hing about that? At home
here's been a death in the
amily - a sudden illness - the
'oldier at the front must be
notified. Will the Red Cross see
hat he is-and in the gentlest,
lindest way? The Red Cross
ioes all of this and much more
rs so many of us have had rea-
ION to know.

shoes and a cap with flaps that
pulled down over his ears.
He did something of value to the
township, for he conceived the idea
we ought to have plays, and set
about getting them up in the same
joyous, boyish way he went into any,
thing that had fun in it. These were
put on in the Wilcox School which
was bigger than the Knabb School.
There was no door in the end of
the room which was to be the stage,
but that was all right; a window
was used. The women made a cur
tain, and the boys and girls began
to study their lines. When the time
came, that wonderful opening night,
Newt, all dressed up in his good
clothes, stepped out in front of the
draw-curtain and said the opening
number would be tableau entitled
1.-THE Setting Sum-" The curtain
whizzed along the galvanized clothes
line and there, sitting on box, was
one of the neighborhood boys. It
took US some moments to see
through it, but when we did we
thought it was about the funniest
thing we'd ever heard of. Well,
those plays we're tremendous sue
cess, judged by our standards, and
brought US immense satisfaction.
Newt could be plenty serious. He
would sit up with the sick and, in
some strange way was amazingly
tender with them, this rough giant
of a man. When one of our neigh
bors died, Newt was the first person
to put shovel over his shoulder and
start toward the cemetery.
The second time my name was
ever in print, Newt Kennedy put it
there. I tried to earn money for
myself by having line of traps in
the slough, and one day I found a
long, strange, perfectly white crea-
ture, as big around as buggy whip
handle, in steel trap. The neigh
bors came in to see it.
When the One-Horse Farmer came
out that week this item was in it:
Homer Croy has captured
white weasel"
was delighted. was thrilled! 1t
had never occurred to me that l
would be in the One-Horse Farmer,
but there I was for all the world to
see!
thought over and over why he
had used the word captured" in
stead of trapped" for 1 was COM
ing more and more to love words;
and to be little awed by the thrill
ing things one could do with them.

But that wasn't all. At noon that
day when I opened up my dinner
bucket at school there would be a
package with grease spots showing
through the brown paper-a deli
clous cold sausage cake. It wouldn't
be as brown, and it wouldn't have
the lovely smell it had at breakfast,
but it was still good. It always
would be good; nothing could keep
it from being good. I wish I had
some now-right this moment!
Newt Kennedy was our neighbor-
hood correspondent for the weekly,
and, for the items he sent in, he re-
ceived the paper free of charge.
Newt was a trifle weak on gram
mar, but he was strong on what peo-
pie liked to read, and always, in
everything he wrote, was this under
current of humor which I loved and
which influenced me so much. He
signed himself 1.-THE One-Horse
Farmer" which, of course, made
everybody laugh, for no one could
run a farm with one horse. This
was another way Of saying "The
Bottom of the Heap" OF course
Newt wasn't, but it was good fun to
pretend he was. Newt didn't merely
send in who was sick and who was
visiting and that tramps had broken
in the schoolhouse again, but sent in
comments and humorous philosophy.
Each week, when we got the paper,
the first thing I turned to was the
One-Horse Farmer.
He was the biggest and strongest
man in our section, and about the
best natured. A great brawny giant
with a mop of hair like an un-
finished haystack. He wore an over
coat fastened around his middle with
a belt; he had felt boots and over

ner and steer weight guessing. Dehorning
Of the calves and the curing ofhams were
two Of the Jobs that Homer had to help
with. II became his job to wean the
calves. He originated the Idea of placing
rubber tube In the milk pail and had
them suck on that instead Of his finger.
BY this means they were weaned con.
siderably quicker than by finger. He sent
the Idea to the local farm paper which
printed 1t in full.
