Three hundred Weather Bureau
employees beat an old jinx yester-
day when their annual picnic was
not rained out.
Contrary to the practice of most
Weather Bureaus, this Weather Bu-
reau made no attempt to pick a sure
fire clear day. Merrill Bernard. chief
of the division of climatology and
hydrologic services, explained it this
way:
1--WE set the date three weeks
ago and then forbade any one to
mention the possibility of rain. A
radical system, but it worked"
Because the day was clear, the
weather people and their offspring
had a bang-up time at Palisades
Park where they devoured 80 dozen
ears of corn and 30 gallons of ice
cream, quaffed 20 cases of soda
pop and worked themselves into a
lather contending for prize ribbons
in athletic events.
Husbands Run for Cover.
Miss Lydia Frances Ewing, 26, of
228 Willow avenue, Takoma Park,
Md, won the ladies' rolling pin
throwing contest with a mighty
heave of % yards. Miss Ewing used
a complicated windup, a stern ex-
preston and hefty underhand mo-
ton. Several casualties were mar
roWly averted when over anxious
housewives uncorked volley of wild
pitches which sent knowing hus-
bands scurrying for cover.
Evening star., 1946-09-15

1t appeared obvious that the roll
ing pin as weapon is fast becoming
obsolete. Most of the ladies. al
though they tried hard, could mot
have hit a tub if they had been
standing in it.
The tug-of-war. between two
teams of nine putting taxpayers,
seemed unlikely to produce a winner
at all for several minutes. The Is
tuggers gained brief respite when
the rope broke, several red-faced
gentlemen appearing quite content
to lie quietly where they sprawled
after the strand parted The rope
was tied up and eventually nine tired
men. beat nine tireder men.
Corn Roast and Dancing.
The toddlers. replete with good
things to eat, began to bawl prompt
ly at 4 pm. They had had their
events-a Diaper Derby" for crawl
.ers only, potato race and other
races suited to their talents-earlier
and had no sympathy for rolling
pin competitions and the like.
New records for immobility were
set when the men over 40 staged
a 50-yard dash. ri
Harder couples stayed on after
dark for corn roast and dancing
in the Palisades Field House.
Although the Weather Bureau
was sure it wouldn't rain, there was
note on the program which is
copied without comment. 1t read:
In the event of rain, indoor
games and dancing will be substi-
tuted for the athletic program"

aooeo, the nurseries should have 20
or more nurses and aides on each
shift. They now have five or six.
DR.. Sweet said the hospital had
been authorized to hire more nurses
but couldn't get them.
AS for the Red Cross aides, manv
who have been trained have now
dropped out. Mrs. Margaret Nc
Gehee, District Red Cross aide nurse
director, said Gallinger had asked
1or o0 more day and SO more night
AIDES to serve one or more DAYS or
nights week. She said that a new
class for aides would start Septem-
Der %, but pointed out that aides
VINO have already been trained are
needed to meet the immediate
emergency.
Because of the crisis. the Red
Cross loaned the hospital two nurses
on each Shift whose salaries will be
paid out of disaster relief funds.
DR.. Sweet said.
The pediatrics chief gave this
picture of what the shortage of
nurses and aides means in the
nurseries:
In the full-term nurseries. one
nurse is trying to take care of 40
or % babies. Since most of the
babies are supposed to be taken to
their mothers for feeding at the
same time, it is impossible for the
nurse to take two or three minutes
for proper sterilization between
moving the babies. In addition. the
babies remain longer with their
mothers at feeding times than they
should.
While full-term babies can be
left with a bottle, premature babies
must be fed slowly and supervised
every moment. One nurse is SUD-
posed to care for not more than
flVe premature babies. Now one
nurse may have to feed and care
for Is or 20 such infants.
AS for diapering, DR.. Sweet said
it was impossible to keep the babies
dry and clean.
It's impossible to build up proper
isolation barriers under these con-
ditions," he said. by luck and hard
work, We may be able to weather
this situation, but 80 per cent of
our problem would be solved if we
could get more nurses and Red Cross
aides"

a result of an epidemic of diarrhea

fines or serve six months in jail
each on charges involving the
weapons.
Judge Nelson imposed the pen

charge of carrying a Marine dag
ger and a switch-blade knife.
Pvt. Louis B. Anderson of the

asked to see his draft card. Plac-
ing Fisher under arrest when he
could not produce the paper, the
policeman then discovered the
knives In Fishers pockets, he said.

There is too much carrying of
knives and weapons of any kind
without a good purpose" said the
judge. "All too often in the heat
OF an argument. the weapon is
whipped out and some one gets
cut"
Judge Nelson declared the next
case before him an example of this.
Harry E. Goss, SO, of the 1900
block of Kingman place NV,
showed cash on his lip which he
said he received during an alterca-
ton Friday in the 1400 block of p
street NV.

Here, a private automobile has
been substituted for the fire truck
which appeared in a similar prob
lem presented last week. With re-
spect to the earlier diagram, Assist
ant Traffic Director M. o. Eldridge
pointed out that the fire truck
responding to an alarm, had the
right-of-way over all other vehicles
This prompted queries as to prece-
dence after the fire truck. Would
the right-of-way go next to:
l. The police car, pursuing a
felon?
2. The mail truck?
3. Plain Joe Motorist?
4. The ambulance, taking an in
jured person to hospital?
Mr.. Eldridge explained that the
usual rules of the road" would pre-
vail, except that the police car and
ambulance would be using sirens
a signal for other traffic to stop
If the police car or ambulance pro-
posed to make a left turn, it would
be required to yield TO the vehicle
approaching from the opposite
direction.

When 20-year -old Emma Gottlieb
Greenwald said goodbye to her
three young sisters in Vienna, in
1888, and started for the United
States, none of them realized it
would be So years until they were
all together again. Last night the
sisters, three OF them great-grand-
mothers, were reunited here.
The joyous meeting finally was
accomplished with the arrival here
yesterday of the youngest of the
four sisters, Mrs. Rosa Kluger, g.
Mrs. Kluger came to the United
States aboard the French liner
Athos II which encountered strike
difficulty when it docked at New
York Harbor Tuesday.
Waiting for her was Emma. now
widow, and the other two SISTERS,
Mrs. Paula Leibell SO, of 1887 Shep-
herd street NV, and Mrs. Regina
Kurtz, II, of Philadelphia. Mrs.
Kurtz followed Emma to the United

Mrs. Kluger, q resident of Dussel-
dorf, Germany, for so years, was
brought to America through the
efforts of her son, Sol, who served
in. the American Army as a private,
although he. himself, arrived here
only five years ago. Sol, who lives
at 809 Otis place NV, held the
reunion at his, home. The four
women, speaking only German
among themselves, chatted about

The younger folks looked on
proudly and brought the elderly
sisters glasses of ginger ale to be
slipped and little cakes to be eaten.
All talk centered around the four
gray ladies seated in the center of
the room.
Moses Kluger, gray-bearded and
about as old as his wife, Rosa, still
was tired from his long boat ride
from Antwerp. Besides, he under
stood no English. He didn't say
very much, even in German, only
watched his strong son, Sol, who
owned big home and had a mar

Veterans DRAWING
Benefits Advised
That Jobs Are Better

Every District veteran drawing an
unemployment check is also get
ting a printed "bit of friendly ad-
vice" in the District Unemployment
Compensation Boards campaign to
get the veterans into Jobs.
The slip that accompanies each
check is headed "A bit of friendly
advice-from one veteran to an
other" 1t is signed by the COM
pensation boards director, c. A.
Wharton, who fought in the Pa
cific as a major in the Marine
Corps.
You and I know that this check
is mighty poor substitute for a
job" the message begins. 1T isn't
much to live on and it doesn't last
long. Even the maximum of So
payments is soon gone. Then you're
without job and the $40 per week. u
Give Yourself a Break."-
After warning the veteran not to
turn down suitable work. the mes
sage goes on:
Il know you have applied for a
job with the employment service.
But you can do more than that. The
employment service lists only a
portion of the jobs that are actu-
ally available. You can sell your
self better than any one else. Give
yourself break! Search diligently
and get job on your own.
Perhaps the job isn't exactly the
one you want, but with every Job
you are building up valuable ex-
perience and seniority. I don't have
to tell you that experience and
seniority-in any kind of work-Will
come in mighty handy when things
really get tough
We are now at peak peace time
production. Jobs will get scarcer
rather than more plentiful. Make
calls. Make lots of calls. Be de-
termined.
Mr.. Wharton assures the veteran
of help from the USES and the
unemployment compensation board
but he adds: ';;Readjustment to civil
life is primarily your own RESPONSE
bility. Don't delay. You can do
better for yourself than any one else
can do for you"
Complain of Low Wages.
BY return mail, Mr. Wharton said
he has been getting letters from
veterans complaining mainly that
all the available jobs pay low wages
Some of the writer's list the places
where they have applied. Others
say they can't find anything to
match their training and experience
To veterans who have been draw
ing unemployment checks for 20
consecutive weeks, the unemploy-
ment compensation board is send
ing questionnaires. AS these are
answered, the veterans are called
in to talk with USES employment
counsellors charged with determin-
ing why they have been unable to
find work.
Mr.. Wharton says the counsellors
suggest more training or schooling
or perhaps a change OF occupation.
If the veteran is not ''receptive"-if
he refuses to take training offered
to him or refuses a job which might
be different from his usual line but
still suitable-he may be disqualified
or suspended indefinitely from get
ting unemployment checks.
The unemployment compensation
director emphasized that the ques-
tionnaires and the visits to the en-
ployment counsellor were not to find
methods of penalizing the veteran
but only to find out what could be
done to help him get a lob.
