Since the holiday season I

broke! The hostess insisted I for

any other design would be mis-

Marking Family China

mine? 1t is his house and there
was no question in my mind that
our china should continue to bear

from some friends that this is

it in bad taste.

National Symphony Set Precedent
At Rehearsal and Lunch Yesterdoy
BY Katherine M. Brooks

The National Symphony Or
chestra was host yesterday morn
ing at its dress rehearsal In
Constitution Hall to the members
of the Woman's Committee. The
social group of the committee
entertained the orchestra al
luncheon Immediately after in the
Corcoran Gallery of Art. 1t is the
first time in the 10 years
of the orchestra that any large
group has been invited to hear
a rehearsal. However, orchestras
in European cities and the Boston
group in this country, have made
much of the final rehearsal be-
fore concerts by charging a small
fee. Thus many who are unable
to attend evening and Sunday
concerts can hear the program in
the morning and the small fee
charged helps defray the expense
of the hall. There was much con-
versation during the luncheon or
the fun of hearing the orchestra
ut work.
The Woman's Committee, now
numbering 800 members, ap-
parently was present en- masSe
not only for the music but fol
the luncheon. Arrangements were
excellent and it was amusing tc
see the empty cups stuffed with
paper napkins on the pedestals
beside an immortal work OF
sculpture or feminine pocket
books resting in the curve of the
heavy frame about the paint
ing of an old master.
Mrs. David S. Barry, chairman
of the social committee, ably as
sisted by Mrs. George Maurice
Morris, vice chairman, and others
in this group, had charge of the
serving of the delicious creamed
chicken and noodles, cole slaw,
chicken and cheese sandwiches
and chocolate iced ginger bread.
The plates were papier-mache
the cups also were paper and the
fork and spoon of wood. Thus as
one finished the refreshments
plate n everything was dropped
in the metal baskets carried about
by attendants known in cafeterias
as busboys. Mrs. Barry greeted
the guests, assisted by Mrs. Theo-
dore Dominick, president of the
Woman's Committee; Mrs. Clinton
S. Raynor, vice chairman of the
sustaining fund campaign COM
mittee, and Mrs. Howard Mitchell,
wife of the conductor.
Receive in Hall
The receiving line was formed
in the large exhibition hall at the
left OF the entrance and buffet
tables were set up in the Mem
bers Room and the American
Room where others on the social
committee served the luncheon.
Members and the musicians of the
orchestra took their plates into
other rooms and found chairs to
sit and enjoy the luncheon and
conversation with others.
Mrs. Robert H. Dunlap prompt
1y invited her neighbor at the
serving table to come and sit on
Great Grandfather's sofa" and
led the way into the next room.
The sofa, very large and hand
some piece of furniture belonged
to the late w. w. Corcoran,
founder of the art gallery which
bears his name. Mrs. Dunlap's
mother, Mrs. Thomas N. Wood,

WE CANT SHOOT
OUR MEAT

In the early days OF this coun-
try feeding the family was, in
some respects, a relatively simple
matter. The pioneers grew prac-
tlcally everything they required.
If man wanted some meat, he
took his rifle, went out into the
woods and shot a deer or a bear,
butchered it himself, and filled
the larder.
Few people can do that now.
Living has become infinitely more
complex. Industries of many kinds
have been created and developed
to do for US what we cannot do
for ourselves.
Meat is good example. Most
consumers live at considerable
distances from the regions where
meat animals are raised in i'm
portant quantities. There has to
be some mechanism for handling
and processing and distributing

RAILS ARE READY

Just how important are the
railroads to our national defense:
Here is an easy way to visualize
the answer: In World War II the
nation called on the rails to move
90 per cent of all war freight and
81 per cent OF all organized mill
tarv travel.
Just what are the railroads do
ing now in the interest of natio-
nal defense: The answer to that
was provided at a meeting i'll
Chicago which was called soon
after the Korean situation became
critical. The railroads pledged
theselves to buy or build thous-
ands of additional freight cars, to
restore to service as promptly as
possible cars now awaiting re-
pairs. and to secure the most eff
Cient use Of all cars available.
These plans will bring the num-
Der of orders for new freight cars
to more than 100000. That means
that more than S5OO,OOO.OOO will
be spent for the new cars-and
that the amount spent by the rail
roads since the end OF the last
war to improve their plant and
equipment will exceeds, ,OOOOOO,-
600. Additional orders, it was also
announced. will be placed as
promptly as arrangements can be
made.
So much for the physical side
of the railroad industry. There
is another factor which is enorm-
ously important. That is the
knowledge and the know-how
that the railroads have gained
from experience, often under the
most difficult conceivable condi-
tons. Their performance in the
last war came as near perfection
as could be humanity expected.
Each problem was a challenge
to be met head on and solved in
the shortest possible time. The
war effort, on the scale we achiev-
ed. would have been impossible
without them.
Those who head the railroads
hope, like everyone else, that
road to peace may be found. But
they are ready for any eventuali-
ty.

the national meat supply. So meat
packing has become vital in
stitution. Its function is, on the
one hand, to provide a year-round
cash market for the animals pro-
duced on the farms and ranches,
and, on the other hand, to get
meat to the retailers in the small
towns and the big cities alike so
that it will be available to the
buyer when wanted.
Meat packing is big indust-
ry. But that does not mean that
it consists of only few large
companies. There are, actually,
something like 1900 meat pack
ing concerns in the country.
They are in competition every day
of the year for the meat animals.
And they are in constant compe-
tition in selling the meat to the
retailer.
This produces two results. We
get the kind and quality of meat
we want. And, due to competition
the packers provide their service
in return for a profit which a.
mounts to only fraction OF a
cent a pound on all the meat sold.

UNIFYING A NATION

Late in April the four cities OF
Davenport, Iowa, and Rock Is
land, Moline and East Moline, H.
lionois, celebrated a unique event
in American History. There "a
years before, the first locomotive
rumbled across the first railroad
bridge spanning the Mississlpph
and bands of iron at last Joined
the East and West.
In the same month in which
the bridge was opened it was ram
med by a river steamboat. Both
boat and bridge burned and suit
was brought to prevent the re-
building of the structure on the
grounds that it was an obstacle
to navigation. A little-known H.
linois lawyer represented the
railroad. His name was Abraham
Lincoln. Lincoln won his case,
establishing the principle that
bridges carrying railroad tracks
may be thrown across navigable
waters. In this, the man who was
to 60 on to become one of the
greatest of the Presidents, made
one of his major contributions
to the unity of this country.
The celebration in the four
midwestern cities honored a high
point in our history. 1t recalls the
titanic struggles that character
lied the building of the railroads
less than century ago. Men are
still living who were children
then-in their liietimes they have
seen the railroads do as much as
any force to build the strength
and security of this nation, and to
serve it's homes, farms, and in
dustries in peace and in war. in
good times and bad.
The building of the railroads
made it possible to settle and ci-
vilize this continent. Now, brief
century later. the existence of the
great railroad industry is vital to
the continents very life as a un-
tied nation.
