The President and Mrs. Truman
received their daughters guests at
g o'clock in the east room just
inside the folding doors entrance.
Miss Truman wore a turquoise blue
chiffon gown and her mother a
powder blue crepe evening dress
with corsage of yellow orchids.
Everybody at this small and exclu-
sive dance had a whirl, especially
the aides. Present at all White
House state affairs, where they must
stand erect in one spot and direct
guests, last night they were def
nitely not on duty but could really
enjoy themselves. And they really
appreciated the thoughtfulness OF
the Chief Executives daughter in
giving this party for them.
About midnight every one gath

Newcomers
In the Corps
By Ann Cline

Inc retlremenC OF Mr. !. ReglnalQ
Aickin, Second Secretary Of the New
Zealand Legation, will take from
Washington one of the most popu-
lar members of the diplomatic
corps. Mr.. Aickin, who has served
his country for nearly 46 years, will
leave Washington for New York
Saturday. He and his wife will sail
from there the middle of February
to return to their homeland.
Tomorrow evening the New zea-
land Minister and Lady Berendsen
will entertain at buffet supper in
honor of the Adkins. Guests will
be members of the Legation staff
as we'll as ranking members of
the New Zealand Joint Staff Mission
and the New Zealand Supply Mis-
sion.
Lady Berendsen has prepared a
menu of New Zealand food, includ-
ing creamed whitehall, which is
quite a delioacy, and toheroa frit-
ters, which are a lot like oysters.
The finale of a perfect evening will
be the presentation of gifts to both
Mr.. and Mrs. Aickin.
Another buffet supper planned In
honor of the retiring Secretary and
his wife is that set for Friday night,
with the First Secretary and Mrs.
John S. Reid as hosts. 1t will be
given in the Reids' home on Colds
boro road, Bethesda. The members
of the Legation staff will attend this
party, too.
Mr.. Aickin has been in Washing
ton longer than any one else at the
Legation. He came in January, 1912,
with the Right Hon. Walter Nash,
who was the first New Zealand
Minister, and the two of them
established. the Legation. When he
arrived here, Mr.. Aickin was ap-
pointed Second Secretary and has
continued serving in that job ever
since.
Outstanding Career
The retiring Envoy has made
many friends for his country since
coming to Washington. He is well
known for his kindness, ready wit,
hospitality and delightful person.
ality and his large circle OF friends
will miss him terribly.
Mr.. Aickin first began his public
service in 1901. He served with the
New Zealand Rifle Brigade In the
First World War and rose from the
rank of private to captain. Later
he served as adjt1tant to the LIST
Battalion and saw service in Egypt
and France. He also participated
in the Battle of the Somme and
the Battle of Messines. Finally, he
served with the Army of Occupation
in Germany.
He returned to New Zealand In
1918 where he was appointed pri-
vate secretary to the Hon. j. G..
Coates. what at that time was Min
lister Of Public Works and who, In
1925, became Prime Minister as
leader of the Reform Party. He
continued serving in this job to
various other succeeding Ministers
and In 1885 was made private sec
-etary to Mr.. Nash, who was Min
ster of Finance. He remained with

ter of the school district and,
in addition, it will afford am
pie room for development of
a playground as we'll as space
for a football field and base
ball diamonds. These facilities
must be provided in order to
meet the requirements of the
newly enacted state laws on
physical training in the pub
lie schools. The grade school
board has agreed to make this
area available to the park
board for recreational purpos-
es when not being used by the
school especially during the
summer vacation. This will al
so include the gymnasiums to
be built in the new building
program.
A plan whereby the schools,
the park board and the recrea-
ton board all cooperate to
make all of their facilities
available to one another is con-
sidered ideal and can be found
operating in many communi-
ties. It is the most economical
way because it eliminates over
tapping in personnel, equip
ment and facilities through CO.
ordination.
Boards of Education all over
the country are selecting sites
for Junior and Senior High
Schools of from Is to 20 acres
to provide ample space for all
activities now connected with
these types of schools. Most
of the time such sites can be
found only on the outskirts of
the town causing many pupils
to travel unduly long distances

posed tract in Shiloh Park to

community.
Polls for voting will be at

School and the Fire Station.
Those who normally vote at

! City Manager o. j. S. Filing
son said this morning that he did
not believe that the 1947 prop
erty tax rate, to be recommend
ed To the City Commission at a
special meeting at p. m., today,
will be any lower than the 1916
rate. He said the city attorney
was still working on the proposed
ordinance so he couldn't say
whether il would be any higher.
The meeting is called also to
approve an amendment to Ordi-
nance 38l, allowing an increase
IN the license fee for sale of beer
and wines from SIS to $50 and to
permit S25 fee for places sell
ing beer and wine for consump-

Nat. Airlines
Petitions CAB
To Reconsider

National Airlines has petition
ed CAB for reconsideration of its
application for service to Jamaica,
Colombia and the Canal Zone,
company officials announced to-
day.
The NAL petition followed one
by Colonial Airlines, after both
companies and Eastern Air Lines
had been twice denied in the
Additional Service to Latin
America" case. Nationals petit
ton took note of this, but
stressed that National is an ac-
tive applicant for the Canal Zone
route. and If any further consid-
Grafton Is to be given this matter.
National wished to aggressively
pursue its application"
The petition added that Ma
tionsl is ready and willing to UNI
dertake the service at any time.
The record in the case, it was
stated, demonstrates substantial
need" for direct one carrier serv-
ice between the Canal Zone,
Colombia and Jamaica, and 9TH
ca points on the eastern coast of
the United States. The record
further demonstrates, it con-
tinucd. that National is the car
ricr best able to provide that
service. Among specific points
made were that National is in
position TO provide as much or
more service than other ap-
plicants; that NAL would add far
less new route mileage to provide
the service: that NAL would not
be duplicating as much present
route mileage flown by other
lines as would any other appli-
cant.
