Exclusively Yours
Keys to the Kenneys Too Many;
Walter Boyd Bermuda Bound

The wife of the newly appointed
Assistant Secretary of the Navy says
that there was a marked uncer-
tainty in her life after her mar
riage to w. John Kenney. 1t seems
that the latter had numerous law
yer friends who had been accus-
toned to drop in from out of town
and take advantage of his hospital
ity and spacious apartment. To
make matters easier, the generous
host always gave such friends a door
key so that they could come and
go as they liked without bothering
him.
While this worked fine during
bachelorhood, it definitely produced
confusion after marriage. Mrs.
Kenney would no sooner sit down
at her own dinner party than in
would walk some unexpected guest,
using his own key. This embar-
RAISING and somewhat upsetting
procedure continued until Is diff
ferent men had let themselves in
the apartment, using Is different
keys. Finally, in sheer desperation,
faced with life that bore a strik-
ing resemblance to Grand Central
Station, Mrs. w. j. K. moved bag
gage, furniture and husband to a
new apartment.

where they lived while Judge Pat

District Court and later on the

Appeals.
Mrs. Patterson, an experienced
hand with a tractor, says that since
the war she's the "only man on the
place who can run that kind of
machinery" She also knows what
it means to be the only cook on the
farm. This is no light chore as all
of her daughters entertain friends
during the summer.
The Pattersons' son has missed
these annual summer vacations since
he enlisted in the Army Air Forces
when he was 10. Discharged early
this year he has returned to Har-

Mrs. Robert P. Patterson, wife OF
the Secretary of War, says she
doesn't have any special formula for
getting things done-that she just
takes each job as it comes along.
Perhaps this calm approach is a
formula in itself. Few women, at
any rate, have SO wide a range of
interests and accomplishments.
Washington probably knows her
best for her leadership in Jango
(Junior Army Navy Guild Organi-
zation which she and Mrs. Ralph
A. Bard, wife of the former Under
secretary of the Navy, founded sew
eral years ago when Judge Patter-
son was Undersecretary of War.
Active members are young women
between IA and 80 who belong to
families of Army and Navy officers,
including those who have returned
to civilian life. Jango has won fame
and appreciation for it's work in
hospitals, canteens, nurseries and
other service projects.
Patients at Walter Reed and
Forest Glen know her for her quiet,
personal service there. After Judge
Patterson was made Secretary of
War last September, his slender,
dark-haired wife started making
frequent, informal trips to the
wards. While chatting with the pa
tients, she has kept an eye out for
any special needs and has seen that
such needs came to the attention of
proper authorities.
1t was at her suggestion that
Army hospitals throughout the
country adopted a plan to ease the
transportation problems of conva-
lescent servicennen by having tickets
put on sale at the hospitals. She
made the proposal shortly before
Christmas when she happened to
see a wounded combat veteran leav-
ing Walter Reed Hospital for Union
Station several hours ahead of his
train time, because of the difficulties
