A white flag is not always a
sign Of truce. In fact, it is being
translated into terms of friend
ship and aid to the sick at least
in the Western Hemisphere,
members of the Twentieth Gen.
tury Club learned yesterday.
The Children's Bureau of the
Federal Security Agency has had
an indirect part in spreading the
new meaning, according to Mrs.
Elisabeth Shirley Enochs, who has
been in charge of the bureaus in
ternational cooperation work for
the past 10 years.
Mrs. Enochs told the story at a
meeting of the club held yesterday
at the YWCA.
A young Mexican maternal and
child welfare specialist was con-
Guiding some studies here a few
years ago. Mrs. Enochs recalled,
when the Children's Bureau de-
cided to send him out to see Dr.
William French, Anne Arundel
County public health officer.
The Mexican was particularly
impressed with the county health
officers plan of having rural res
idents without telephones, fly a
white flag as a summons for med
ical aid. The visitor took the idea
back to Mexico with him.
When Mrs. Enochs heard about
1t, she asked DR.. French if the
white flag idea didn't originate
somewhere else as she felt sure

she had heard of the practice in
another country.
DR.. French laughed. she said,
and told her he had picked up the
idea in Chile. And at that, on a
visit sponsored by the Children's s
Bureau
Mrs. Enochs has just returned
from the second of series of
regional seminars being sponsored
by the Pan American Union in
the interests of helping Latin
American countries develop their
leadership potential.
The seminar, she said. was held
in Salvador where a large mi
gratory worker population has
created social problems of health,
education and welfare which have
been partially remedied by the
erection of community centers.
Since Salvador's is baSically a
coffee economy, progress with the
social welfare program is slow,
Mrs. Enochs declared. There are
still great many plantation own
ers holding out against public as
sistance for their workers." she
said.
Mrs. Raleigh Gilehrist, presi-
dent of the club, introduced the
speaker.
At the business meeting pre-
ceding Mrs. Enochs' talk. five new
members were added to the clubs
rolls and Mrs. Milton H. Fohrman
was made acting assistant treas
urer.

Since the early days of World
War II. Mr.. Arnold has worked
enthusiastically in behalf of the
Treasury's bond program. One of
his first projects at the begin
ming of the war was to arrange
for Hollywood stars to visit cities
and defense plants in a promo
ton campaign which covered
every State. More than so cele-
brities participated.
Since then, the Treasury De-
partment continually has called
on him for bond talks through
out the country and he has ap-
peared frequently in Washington.
Yesterday he addressed the
Junior Chamber of Commerce at a
luncheon at the Burlington Hotel.

with Mr.. Arnold on several oc-

asked.
For large estate, yes. But
many trust companies won't take
an estate of less than $25, 900 and
most family men don't have $25,-
900! Remember that life insur-
ance ordinarily is not part of
the estate. That's separate"
Then you'd advise the ordinary
man -
I'D let his own lawyer advise
him-after getting all the facts
but in a case such as your cor
respondent describes, he probably
would name the wife as executor,
with a proviso that if she dies or
is incapacitated, the daughter will
take her place. That prevents
expensive surprises and changes
of plans.

my wife would also be executor,
but I have been reading that
countless family quarrels have
been caused through the appoint
'ment of relative or close friend
as executor of an estate. It is
claimed to lead to jealousies. to
accusations of playing favorites,
to family feuds and lawsuits.
What do you think family man
should do?"
In the first place. Mr.. j., a
family man or any other man
should make will. It's aston
ishing how many able business
men fail to do this. In the sec
ond place, you should have it
drawn by a lawyer. Again, it is
astonishing how many able busi-

Serving Tomato Juice
DEAR MRS. POST: When to-
mato Juice cocktail is served as a

hostess is also cook and waitress,
may this cocktail be stood at the

Should it be with glasses, or
where?
Answer: It could be stood on

case. of course, the napkin would
have to be put at the left of the

"Avarice After the War" has moth

an amusing example of Anglo

So why not stock up at your
