Prince Georges Boys Club Now Is County Pet
Support So General Police Toe Dropped by Organization
By Lewis F. Atchison

''What you fellows need Is or
ganization," said the short.
plump gentleman under the gray
fedora. "Lookit here in Wash
ington-they had one boys club
already so they go and get the
police to back another, sort Of a
double check to make sure none
Of the kids Is missed. See what
I mean? You've gotta have or
ganization."
Smith H. Purdurn, president Of
the Prince Georges Boys Club,
looked at Jerry Buscher, q mem-
ber of the board of directors,
with that "why-try-to-explain
air.
Organisation" said Purdum
when the short gent had depart
ed. We've got plenty Of it, be-
ginning any place you want to
begin. Take the police for
example. Superintendent Ralph
Brown is 100 per cent behind US.
This used to be the Police Boys
Club of the county, but we
dropped the police tax because
everybody helps.
1--WE even have the University
of Maryland on our side" chimed
in Buscher. "You know Harry
Bonk, Vic Turyn and Lou Brown,
all varsity athletes? They're
some of the boys helping us.
They get the credit for teaching
physical education-plus expert
ence, and our boys get the ad-
vantage of scientific coaching
and training.
The more we talked the more
this department realized how
wrong the gentleman in the fe-
dora had been. The club is Or
ganized as efficiently as any bus
mess but, come to think Of 1t,
keep youngsters healthy, happy
and out Of mischief is pretty big
business at that.
Friday and Saturday Of this
week the ~ clubs comprising
the county organization will have
their annual boxing tournament
at Ritchie Coliseum. The latter
part of this month their annual
basket bal, tournament comes up
at Ritchie Coliseum. In the
spring they'll have the junior
Olympics in Byrd stadium, and
this summer baseball and softball
leagues will be operating on all
fronts. And arrangements have
been made with officials Of the
Prince Georges County Club for
the use of the swimming pool
three mornings a week.
1--WE have a strong tie with the
university, "Purdum told us.

Wyoming Given Place
In NCAA Event Over
Protest by Utah
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

SALT LAKE CITY, Mar. TO-
The University OF Wyoming today
held the designation as District rs
representative In the Kansas City
NCAA basket ball tournament
March 10 and 40 over q formal
protest from the University Of
Utah.
DR.. A. Ray olpin, president Of
Utah University, telephoned last
night to DR.. Karl Leib, NCAA pres
ident ut Iowa University, and Ken
meth L. Wilson, NCAA secretary at
Chicago, that the decision to invite
wyoming was Inconsistent and
unfair"
The protest was made, olpin said,
because the district selection COM
nittee had invited Wyoming only
Q few hours after Arthur Outch)
Lonborg had telegraphed Utah Of
hcials that q plsyof between Utah
and wyoming had been arranged
for Boulder, Colo, Saturday night.
Lonborg Of Northwestern, is chair
man Of the tournament and served
as temporary member Of the Dis
trict Z Selection Committee.
Olpin said Lonborg's telegram
committed" the NCAA to the play
of between the two schools, which
finished IN a three-day tie for Sec
ond place with Denver o., in the
Mountain States Conference race.
I'VE will insist on q playoff on the
basis Of the telegram from Mr.. Lon
borg" Olpin said he told Wilson.
Wilson promised to talk with
Clyde w. (Cac) Hubbard, University
Of Denver coach, and Juan Reid of
Colorado College, as well as Leib, in
an effort to obtain o final decision
today.
Wilson did advise him, Olpin said,
however, that no regional commit
tees decision ever has been reversed
by NCAA nnoguls.
Olpin and Coach Vadal Peterson
Of Utah both said the Utah position
Is that the invitation to Wyoming
should not have been rendered after
Wyoming had declined originally
to take part in q playoh.
IF the NCAA had picked Wyo-
ming to start with" Peterson said,
"T wouldn't have objected. But to
arrange q playon in which. Wyoming
declined to participate and then in
vite Wyoming anyway-well, 7 think
we have q kick coming"
Peterson added he feels Wyoming's
season record of 1877 is not an ade-
quate basis for its selection over
Utah, since wyoming played Gin
ferior" teams in its early games.
Utah won IL and lost 8.

Capital Careers

more stringent than making do last
years beaver suddenly found them
selves financially bereft.
Helene and Roy Potts were COM
paratively well off, but some of their
friends were not so fortunate. Fam
lily cars were sold. College educa-
tions were Cancelled. And night af-
ter night Helene Potts lay awake
thinking suppose it happens to us.
Could I help? How could I earn a
living? The answer was that she
couldn't, but she would learn how
"just in case"
For months she studied merchan-
dising and public relations, and how
to turn a fair for selling charity
tickets into selling dresses. Then
she left her comfortable Takoma
Park home and went downtown to a
shop where she was a valued Gus
toner and became part-time sales
woman in better dresses.
It wasn't too long before she was
offered the position of stylist for
Palais Royal, full-time job which
meant, if she accepted, a complete
metamorphosis from housewife and
mother to career woman. It was q
challenge which she had to accept.
Just as when a couple of years later
during the war she was offered the
complex job of OPA director In
charge of pricing and compliance
for the store, she had to accept that
"iust to see If I could do it,,
After the war when OPA was
about to be discontinued, Helene
Potts resigned. She had never, after
all, had to earn living for Mr.. Potts
was a most successful marketing
consultant. But she had proved to
her satisfaction that she could do it
and now she was glad to devote her
full time once more to her home,
family and other interests.
But Helene would no more think
of allowing her mind to become lax
than she would her figure. Resum-
ing her former activities, she de-
cided to supplement them with
modelling. And since to decide to
do something. in her book Is to do
it. Helen Potts became model. She
still does all the family cooking, she
has two grown daughters, a son and
grandson and she admits candidly
that she gets an enormous feeling OF
satisfaction every time she walks
down a runway with her junior-size
colleagues, many of whom are
younger than her daughters.
Besides all the walking she does
modelling several days a week,
Helene walks instead of rides when
ever she can to keep her graceful
figure. That is about her only
beauty secret" She is member OF
the P. E. o. Sisterhood, the Profess
sional Writers Club, Free Lance
Writer'S Club and the District
Branch of the National League OF
American Pen Women. Why the last
three? Because she writes (and
sells) short stories. She writes sue
cessful contest letter, too. Won a
pair of silver candlesticks once and
another time dress by turning IN
