The lecturer finished her talk
to the college students, answered
their many questions, and we
then adjourned to the university
snack shop for refreshments with
half a dozen members of the resi-
dent faculty. I was invited to
join the group.
You had a great many ques-
tions about intimacy before mar
riage," one of the women suggested
to the lecturer.
THAT always happens"
"I was interested" the woman
continued, ito note that you did
not at any time suggest that
there was anything wrong about
such experiments.
"Oh, no, we don't want to build
up feelings of guilt in these young
people," the lecturer replied.
Aren't you encouraging promis-
cuity?"
The lecturer looked a bit un-
comfortable but replied, 1--WE have
to assume that some of these
young people have already expert
mented and that it would do then
harm to make them carry feelings
of guilt on through life"
This is a peculiarly warped anc
twisted attitude that is being pop
ularized in some places. 1t argues
that there is nothing inherently
right or wrong about any action
It's merely a question of values

or of the way society feels about
it. If we can help people to get
rid of their values" they won't
have any problems.
In other words, the way to abol-
ish crime is to repeal all the laws
against the crime.
Robbery is not a crime primarily
because it is against the law, but
because it is against the interests
of mankind. Promiscuity is not
a crime because some one says it
is crime, but because experience
has shown that it is contrary to
the interests of mankind.
Sociologist Hornell Hart has
summed up a great deal of the ex-
perience in one sentence: "We
find evidence piling up in our
civilization that young people who
engage in pre-marital and extra
marital affairs run heavy risks of
broken friendships, of unforget-
table regrets, of shattered careers.
of unsatisfed restlessness, of hide
Gus disease, of social contempt, of
disintegrating personalities and OF
loss of the deepest and finest love
values"
Those are the plain facts. Any
counselor sees plenty of evidence
to convince the most skeptical
that they are facts.

Here SubnormuI

Washington, which welcomed
the New Year with scarcely more
than the rustic of a paper hat.
looked it square in the eye today
and started the first and greatest
back-to-work movement of the
year.
Congress prepared for resump-
ton of business tomorrow and
hotels with the "sorriest December
in years" behind them, were filling
up fast.
From all directions and by all
kinds of transport, our citizens
who were elsewhere for the holi-
days began pouring back into the
city. 1t will be a double crowd
those who left only last Friday
and Government workers who
sandWiched four days annual
leave with the twin holiday week
ends and stretched it into a 10
day vacation.
Sedate Celebration.
Union Station expected whop-
ping crowds, although the mass.
will be scattered throughout the
day and up until early morning.
At least Is extra sections were
scheduled each way between
Washington and the North.
The New Years eve celebration
here was about as sedate as they
come. Even the police were sur
prised. They attributed the quiet
merry-making to the midnight
liquor sales curfew, which built
up more private parties and sent
more people to after-hours clubs
or to Baltimore, which was wide
open till dawn.
Almost everything was under
normal except the temperature
which went to 40 in an afternoon
of sunshine yesterday. A high of
81 is predicted for today with
cloudy and occasional light rain
rounding out the forecast.
Police booked only 125 persons
for drunkenness - figure even
less than a normal week end.
Only 80 traffic accidents were re-
ported to the Accident Investiga-
ton Unit from 8 am. Saturday to
8 am. today-another sub-normal
figure. Seven persons were treat
ed at hospitals and released and
six were hospitalized for traffic
injuries. There were 18 false
alarms.
Truman Walks to Church.
The city went to church or slept
it off yesterday.
The Nations No. l Citizen,
President Truman. walked to the
First Baptist Church at Sixteenth

Rev. Edward Hughes Pruden cite
the day as IAN ideal time to re-

time" DR.. Pruden stressed the
Importance of grasping "those
opportunities which we may have
ignored or neglected in the past
but which come to us again today
with renewed urgency"
Then the President rode back
to Blair House. Mr.. Truman's
wife and daughter Margaret were
out of the city. The Chief Ex-
ecutive planned to spend today

square feet of land around each
present District stone as a park.
The purchase proposal never
got beyond the Commissioners,
however, and as for the Virginia
stones, these were left to the OAR
chapters. The one on Upton Hill,
which Mr.. Lawrence reported lost,
never was adopted" by any
chapter.
Even in Washington the stones
have had little attention.
Other Monuments Cited.
There are hundreds of other
monuments that must be cared for
first and, frankly, these Just
haven't seemed as important" I"
explained Randle B. Truett, chief
of the Memorials and Historic
Sites Division.
At Mr.. Truett's request, how
ever, officials now have ordered
repair work started Immediately
and it is expected to be underway
by Wednesday.
Preservation of the stones pre-
sents definite headaches.
Some, despite expansion of the
city and extension of the bound
airy roads-Southern, Eastern and
Western avenues-still are in re-
latively inaccessible or hard-to-
find spots.
Cutting through and widening
adjacent roads threaten the stones
with burial or removal, as do
building projects-this despite the
$3.50 fine and/or six months i'm
prisonment provided in the Dis
trict for maltreating the stones.
Stone Is Special Problem.
The stone at Fox's Ferry is a
special problem. Dredged out and
replaced already several times, it
now is under water most of the
time at a spot readily reached
only by boat.
Unsympathetic private property
owners are another occasional
worry. To OAR CONSERVATION,
a new land owner tore down the
fence he found around a stone in
his front yard. built up the lawn
to the stones top and refused to
have it raised. It has remained
that way for more than 20 years.
with only the tip visible.
The Government itself hasn't
always helped. The first corner
stone, at Jones Point Lighthouse,
was covered by a seawall in 1861
and wasn't restored to view for
more than so years.
The OAR continues to report
such problems to authorities.
A Virginia chapter has come to
the rescue of the Fairfax stone
Mr.. Lawrence thought was lost;
Alexandria OARS are fighting for
repair of the South stone light
house and surroundings, and Dis
trict Daughters may consider put
ting up road signs to bring the
stones to the attention of passers-
by.
AS long as the OAR Is at work,
it's not likely that the park author
tiles will accede to the suggestion
of a citizen that useless Virginia
stones be transplanted to the Mall.

Looking Back $50 Years
By james 6. Deone

Forty milestones marked the
boundaries of the 40-mile square
that was the Territory of Colum-
bia" in 1900.
To-Day, 80 of these original
stones still are standing.
In Washington this week, park
workmen will start giving the 26
that still mark the District line
their first face-lifting in a dec
ade. In Virginia, at the same
time. the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution are taking steps
toward even more urgent atten-
ton to markers remaining there.
1t was on the personal order of
George Washington, authorized by
Congress, that the Districts first
commissioners saw to erecting of
the 40 stones in 1912. For the
commissioners-Daniel Carroll of
Montgomery County. DR.. David

f. Mostly in Fields.
When the stones were put in by
Maj. Andrew Ellicott, starting
with the South Corner Stone on
Jones Point, Alexandria, they
were mostly outposts in a coun-
tryside of fields and woods. The
stones were hoated up the river
on barges from quarry at Acquia,
Va, and then carried. presumably
on mule or horseback. the rest
of the way.
One was put in place at approx
imately every mile. Maj. Ellicott
pushed first to the West. as far as
West Falls Church, then North
east to what is now East-West
highway near Sixteenth street
NV. On the East side, the line
went out across the Potomac to
where Eastern and Southern ave-
nues now intersect. then North
ward to form a nearly perfect
square.
Congress, following the mandate
of few hundred citizens. mu-
tilated the square and created
future maintenance problems
when it returned the land across
the Potomac to Virginia in 1846.
Fourteen markers became dead

about four feet high. with the in,
scription Jurisdiction of the
United States" on the District
side, Maryland" or Virginia" on
the opposite, and the date G791
or 1922 and compass variations
on the other. The number of miles
from the corner stone also was on
one side.
One Stone Not Original.
The one stone which is not an
original is at Russell road and
King street, Alexandria. It is OBJ
long, instead of square, and has no
inscription. The original, not at
that exact place, was lost before
1900. 'r-
