council, the Urban League and the
Washington Housing Agency.
Critical of Council Reports.
The federation has been espe-
cially critical during the past
months of the series of social sur
vey reports made by the council
with money supplied by the Com
munity Chest.
One report which caused consid-
cradle controversy was the one on
race relations, which blamed many
of Washington's ills on racial segre-
CATION and urged its end. This
document was not mentioned last
night.
Council Urged to Run Chest.
The report to which the fedora
ton took exception last night urged
that the council take over active
direction of the Chest, except in
the drive to raise funds.
The controversy over whether the
Washington Urban League and the
Washington Housing Association
should be in the Chest has ragged
for several years, with a number of
business and civic groups opposed to
their inclusion. The federation in
l945 asked that these groups be
dropped.
Recognizing some of these criti-
cisms, Community Chest officials in
vited representatives of all walks of
life in the District to investigate the
Chests activities. as we'll as the
Council of Social Agencies. and
make recommendations, This report
has not yet been made.
The federation also went on rec
ord as supporting a House bill to
place the recorder of deeds under
the jurisdiction of the Commits
sioners.
1t adopted the report of sbecial
federation subcommittee which as
serted that the Office will be much
more efficiently handled and that
it will become a supporting
agency of the District Government"
If the legislation is passed. In an
other action, the federation urged
that the Office of peoples counsel
before the Public Utilities Commits
sion be continued.
Keneipp Asks Support.
District Traffic Director George
Keneipp addressed the group, urging
support Of the move to remove un-
necessary stop signs throughout the
city.
The whole purpose of the pro-
gram is that by eliminating un-
necessary stop signs, the public will
have greater respect for the re-
naming signs, when we impress
them that they are important" Mr..
Keneipp declared.
The meeting was held in the board
room of the District Building. Cliff

"But, Bill" Cathy said un-
steadily, "a secret MARRIAGE! 1t
oh, it seems somehow cheap
and-and almost sordid.'
Bill Strengthened as though
she had struck him. A bar of
moonlight touched his face and
she saw that it was stern and
set.
"Then if that's the way it
seems to you, Cathy, we'll drop
the subject" he said grinly.
I'D hoped l could persuade you
to see it my way-to trust me-"
II do trust you, Bill. I love
you. I've always dreamed of
marrying you--but not this

of tears.

never set eyes on you again. I'd

The very thought of saying
goodby to him, to all the pre-
cious dreams that had filled her
heart for years; the thought
that she might never see him
again tore at her heart with
steel claws and she cried out in
pain.
Bill caught her close and hard
in his arms and kissed her.

HIGHER GRANTS
URGED FOR AGED
DR.. Ellen Winston Says Re-
cipients Increased In
Recent Months

RALEIGH, Nov. ~. - up -
Higher state grants for the aged
and dependent children were ad-
vocated here tonight by DR.. El-
len Winston, North Carolina COM
missioner of public welfare.
Unfortunately we are paying
lower average grants for the
aged and dependent children and
we may even slip farther down
the line of states," she said.
DR.. Winston pointed out that
North Carolina in August was
43rd among the states for funds
allocated to the aged and 41st on
aid to dependent children.
November grants averaged $18
to the $4,000 recipients of old-age
assistance and less than $35 to
each family group of mother and
three children receiving aid to
$4,000 dependent children, ac-
cording to DR.. Winston.
"The number of recipients of
both aid to the aged and aid to
the dependent children has in
creased sharply in recent months
along with the costs of living" "
DR.. Winston said.
MANY persons who could for
merly take care of themselves are
no longed able to make ends meet
in this period of high costs, par
ticularly of food.
"Our need for a state appro-
priation for general relief is even
more acute now than it was when
the 1877 General Assembly was
in session.

suit of the rising prices which

felt herself yielding. She
couldn't fight him and herself
as well; all the things he said
about their being part of each
other were true. The utter i'm
possibility of life without Bill
frightened her. No, she couldn't
fight hirn-she couldn't hold out
against him.
"Cathy, my dearest - oh,
Cathy, please believe that I
know what I'm doing" he
pleaded, his voice little more
than husky murmur. MAYBE
watching Mother die, knowing
that the money was rightfully
hers, that she should have had
it's comforts and it's care-may-
be that did something to me
warped me - made me hard-1
wouldn't know. All know is
that I've got to have the money,
Cathy, for you and for our chill
dren. Because we want chill
dren, Cathy, and we want them
to grow up decently. To have
happy childhood and a future.
Cathy, Cathy-believe me, dear
est-trust me-"
She turned her tear-wet cheek
against his, and said shakily,
"Whatever you say, Bill, my
darling. Whatever you say-al-
ways"
Maggie sat on the edge Of the
bed in Cathy's room and
watched her pack, with trou-
bled look in her kind, loving
eyes.
"You're sure you didn't quar-
rel with Bill?" she asked un-
easily.
Cathy laughed and the color
burned in her cheeks, but she
kept her eyes on the garments
she was folding.
"What an idea, pet, I've told
you over and over again - of
course we didn't quarrel" she
answered lightly.
"Well, when you say it like
that" Maggie agreed to be
convinced. "Only thing is,
seems so funny for you to sud-
denly get a yen to dash off on
a trip somewhere when you've
just got home"
"Bill's gone to New York for
business trip, ard ant
to be away after he comes
home, and I've really got to
make this trip, Maggie, so what
better time could I choose"
Cathy tried to thrust down the
little feeling of shame at having
to deceive Maggie. But she and
Bill had decided that a secret
kept by only two people could
60 on being a secret-not other
wise. Though neither of them
believed for an instant that
Maggie would betray them, I'M
less inadvertently.
"Well, that makes sense"
Maggie agreed. II think you
need a real vacation, and I'm
glad you're going, but I'll miss
you"
Cathy dropped the garment
she was folding and flung her
arms tight about Maggie and
said huskily, "Say the word,
angel pet, and I won't CO."
Maggie held her closely, then
pushed her away, blew her nose
vigorously. and said grurapily,
"Fiddlesticks and fiddle
faddle! Pay no attention to
dumb cluck like me! Why
wouldn't I be used to missing
you in all the years since you
grew up and learned to button
your own frocks? Of course
you'll 20 - and buy yourself
some snazZy looking duds and
have yourself a time! Here, let
me pack that! How did you
ever manage to pack when you
were in the Army"
"That's easy-1 usually had
so little to pack that I simply
flung it headlong into the near
est barracks bag and flung it
over my shoulder and that was
that!" said Cathy gaily.
But it was an unsteady gaiety
that deserted her once she was
aboard the train and had looked
out at a fast dwindling figure
left behind her on the platform;
Maggie, waving until the train
had turned the curve and was
hidden f~~'-, sight.
