Virginia Daughters
Give Fushion Show
At OAR Luncheon
By Frances Lide
Womon's Club Editor

Politics Wed with the building
fund for the Daughters Of the
American Revolution yesterday at
the benefit luncheon and fashion
show, given at the Shoreham
Hotel by a group of Virginia
Daughters.
The occasion honored the Vir-
ginia State regent, Mrs. Everett
L. Repass of Salem. And the pro-
ceeds from the ticket sales will
help the Virginia OAR meet its
building fund quota.
The money-raising theme was
carried out in the sale of money
corsages. Fashioned into flower
like sprays by a local florist who
contributed his services, the cor
sages were made of three crisp
dollar bills each. AS they "re-
tailed" for 81, each sale netted 81
for the building fund. Eventually,
the Daughters hope, the dollar
bills in the corsages will be turned
over to the fund drive.
The political motif was carried
out at the head table where places
of honor were given to the two
candidates for president general
of the National Society, OAR, in
the 1850 election. The candidates
are Mrs. James B. Patton Of Co.
lumbus, Ohio, now serving as first
vice president general. and Mrs.
Edwin S. hammers of Dallas, Tex,
the current recording secretary
general.
Both were honored by musical
selections which preceded the
fashion show. The. Eyes Of Texas
Are Upon You" drew attention to
Mrs. hammers and Mrs. Patton
was honored with Beautiful
Ohio" The Virginia State regent
received a tribute also when the
guests joining in singing Garry
Me Back to Old Virginny."
Mrs. Repass also will be a can
didate in the next OAR election
for a post not associated with
either of the cabinet states. She
has been indorsed by the Vir-
ginia society for the Office of vice
president general.
Mrs. Roscoe c. O'Byrne, presi-
dent general of the national So
ciety who presided at the fall
board meeting held here Wednes-
day, was the ranking guest. A
number of other national OAR
officials also were present.
Virginia Daughters came from
many parts of the State for the
party. Probably the youngest
guest was Miss Jouet Wheeler,
Radford College student who re-

Modern MARRIAGE
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

Mrs. E. asks for suggestions:
you've been telling home
makers that they must have some
absorbing interest outside the
home," she reminds me. This year
my youngest child is in school
all day, so I can get away for a
few hours at time without too
much difficulty. I feel a great
need for just what you mention
something to do that is apart
from my primary and most i'm
portant job of home making
something that will get me into
the world and make me feel that
even in a very small way I'm
doing something to improve the
community in which we are rear
ing our two little girls. But I
have no idea which way to turn.
II know there are thousands
of other homemakers in the same
situation. Please give me some
specific suggestions"
I don't know conditions in your
own community, Mrs. E., but here
are a few suggestions that will
apply to almost any woman ex-
cept the farm wife, and even in
part to her:
/. Every church needs help in
many ways.
2. The Red Cross says it needs
at least a quarter of a million
volunteers. Phone the nearest
representative and inquire.
: 8. Organizations such as the
Camp Fire Girls and Girl Scouts
continually, need leaders and
helpers with groups of all ages.
Your own girls will soon be old
enough, I judge, to fit into the
younger groups-Blue Birds and
Brownies. Ask about this.
4. Any nearby hospital might
need nurses aides. If there Is a
Veterans Hospital, it can often
use volunteers to read to or teach
handicapped patients. Phone and
inquire.
5. Be one Of a committee Of
three from your club, PTA or

Good Fast Fights Mark Navy Smoker as Sailors Mix With Stewards Best

Trevethan and Wangley had the crowd on it's feet in the first round of their headline bout last night at the Civic Cdnter. The two oldtimers showed plenty of the old fire, and enough tricks of the trade to make it an exciting bout.
 By the end of the first round thay began to slow up a little. They lost none of their cunning, however, and the bout remained interesting to the end
 At the final whistle of the first round Wangley tossed punch that threw Trevethau's shoulder out of joint. He was stretched out on the mat while man put a foot against his ribs and pulled the shoulder back into place. At the opening whistle for round two, TreVethan was back in there pushing leather.
 The entire program was an un- usually interesting one. with Milo Davis and Willie Watley (Navy) winning a chicken dinner at the Wagon Wheel for putting on the scrappiest fight of the evening. Davis specialized in body punches, working Watley into the corner and pounding away on his middle like snare drummer. Experience was on the side of Davis and he made use of it.
 Thornton was the winner over game Navy fighter whose ring experience has run chiefly to wrestling. although he has dane some work With the gloves. He was game to continue after a knockdown punch, but the seconds threw in the towel

The Record hnquiring Reporter spent an hour standing behind the telephone switchboard operator last week just to see how it works. and found it a fascinating and illuminating experience.
 The Seward Light X Power Company installed the first tele- phone system in Seward in 1905 with a small magneto board and about 30 subscribers. The present system serves 500 phones on a single position switchboard with 200 places.
 Since it requires a pair of plugs to put through every call and there are only ten pairs of plugs to serve 300 phones, one can see how extremely busy a single op- orator can be.
 Mrs. Jean Trotter, chief oper- ator, is on duty during the day. and her clipped, sSnesslike WOice has been familiar to all of Seward for the past seven years Any conversation with her is car ried OF in machtnegun-like spurts between the continuous flash ng of lights on the board indicating calls.
 For eight hours without a break for lunch. Mrs. Trotter, better known to us all as Jean, becomes an automaton. pushing And pulling plugs, and her Mum Der please" is as much part of the operation as the mechanical work.
 Most of the lines, being party lines, require the operator to memorize the number of rings necessary to signal the different parties on each line, and it is re- markable that there are so few wroEg numbers rung, especially after five or six hours of this con- tinued, monotonous, rapid activity which can be called nothing but work-hard work.

Jersey Dr. Anthony is Curator of Natural History in New York City, and is well acquainted with the natural history of Alaska, as he spent a good deal of time in the Territory in the study of that sub ject, It was his fathers enthusiasm for Alaska that prompted Gil to come and see it for himself. And it appealed to him so strongly that he decided to make Alaska his home.
 Gil is a graduate of Dartmouth and during the war was a pilot in the Army Air Forces flying B-24s. The week before Christmas, Sew ard was very much excited over the news that Gil was down some where and for several days be- fore his rescue from Montague Is- land his many friends were quite worried.
 It is reported that with new planes and equipment Gil Anthony will continue the business of the Seward Air service.

Telephone Switchboard Is Busy Spot In Seward

 Dolores Jones works the board from midnight to morning and is perhaps not so we'll known except to a few.
 The swift and efficient ham dling of fire alarm or an emer- gency call is especially interest ing. Tn one swift movement, the. Dock. Army and City fire stations, are connected and the location of the fire is reported to all three simultaneously. Than the oper- ator begins calling firemen from a list prominently posted on the board. Until all are notified all other signals on the switchboard are ignored. This procedure ac- counts for the speed with which our yolNnteer firemen respond to the fire calls.
 Since the first telephone line was established. the operators have been accused of listening in. No doubt in some rural districts this was true, but in Seward, with the volume of calls handled by one operator this is patiently inn possible. even if dne should have the inclination. The operators are occasionally harried by impatient subscribers who forget that they are depending upon human beings not automatic machinery for their service. They invite everyone who uses the phone to visit the switch board to see for themselves just what the girls are up against.
