I'm rather an advocate of small

I would rather see a hundred steel

"You know the reason for that?"
he continued rhetorically. Every
one of those small institutions gives
some two or three men chance to
be big shots in their communities
When you go to the National City
Bank, or the U. S. Steel Corp. or the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.,
you will find one big shot and a

At the school he was greeted by

awaited him.
Gov. O'Conor handed out the di-

There's more to this reporting
business than meets the eye.
Sometimes you even end up get
ting physical workout such as
towing a stranded sailboat ashore
with a rowboat-no mean feat,
we can assure you.
Yesterday morning started quietly
enough with an assignment to cover
the opening of Government Serv-
ices, Ines, sailboat concession near
Highway Bridge on the Virginia
side of the Potomac. We went
there with a photographer.
All we could find was a little
dock with some sailboats anchored
nearby. Then appeared Hal Miller,
press agent for Government Serv-
ices. He explained there was sup
posed to be a man from the sail
boat concession standing by with a
boat and some good-looking girls.
He didn't say anything about hav-
ing arranged for a band.
Nobody Showed Up.
"Oh, publicity stunt" we COM
mented
yes" he was frank to say" but
the man who was supposed to be
here isn't, and neither are the girls
Wen fix something up, though"
just then a capable looking man
in khaki pants and a pair of tennis
shoes came over to where we were
talking and explained he was the
concessionaire's assistant.
Fix up boat" our friend told
him." while we get some girls"
We found four WAVES from
Arlington Farms at a cafeteria
nearby, who were willing to risk a
ride. Two of the girls, Yeoman 1/e
Ruth I. Bopp and Yeoman &c Jane
M. Conger, climbed into the boat
with the assistant, James M. Nor
gan, an ex-sergeant in the 10th

looked scapable). !. He hoisted the
sails and swung the boat into the
river.

I'VE must project ourselves into

Sheffield said. He pointed out that
with the world undergoing such
revolutionary changes as rapid air
travel to all corners of the globe,
and television presenting a new

self, Mr.. Shefield pointed out that

Volunteers for
Red Cross Dripe

1t looks as though just about all
the diplomats and officials wives in
Washington are knee deep in Red
Cross work. The reason for the mir
rored ballroom at Walsh House be-
ing turned into beehive of activity
is the approaching annual Red Cross
drive which is slated to go into high
gear in March. The business of
counting, assembling and packaging
the thousands of contributors cards,
report blanks, emblems, ETC., is a
large sized job but a pre-campaign
necessity.
State Department wives who can
be found hard at work on this pro-
ject include Mrs. Frederick Livesey
whose husband is advisor in the
Office of Financial and Development
policy; Mrs. Joseph w. Ballantine,
wife Of the special assistant to the
Secretary of State; Mrs. Patrick
Mallon, whose husband is a foreign
service officer stationed in Singa-
pore; Mrs. E. T. Bailey, Mrs. Howard
K. Travers, and Mrs. w. D. Bouton.
Some of the British women who
are helping are Mrs. H. T. Andrews
wife of the Minister of South Africa
Lady Puckle, wife of Sir Frederick
Puckle, Counselor of the British
Embassy; Mrs. Michael Wright, wife
of the Counselor of the British EN-
bassy; Mrs. Donald Maclean, Mrs.
George Middleton, Mrs. Robert Cecil,
and Mrs. Leopold Rebbeck-all of
the British Embassy, and Mrs. Ralph
Beck, whose husband is with Time
magazine.

on Tuesday and it would appear to
be New Zealand day. That's when
Lady Berendsen, the New Zealand
Minister'S wife, is on the job and al
so other women connected with the

Mission, including Mrs. R. w. Mar
