were invited.

Favorite summer Sunday diver
sion of an ever-increasing group
of Washingtonians is to whisk over
to Rosa PonSelle's beautiful Italian
villa in the Green Spring Valley
of Maryland. High on a hill. an
hour and a half's drive from WASH
ington. the white. red-roofed Villa
Pace claims a superb view of the
rolling valley and catches breezeS
from miles around.
A Handicapped pebble path leads
from any of the high French
doors of the drawing room or the
outdoor f1agstone terrace to the
big swimming pool on the same
high level ridge to the side of the
house. Cold springs feed it con-
tinuously. Directly below it down
some steep steps is the perfect all
weather tennis court designed by
Alice Marble.
Inside, the Italian decor is car
ried out in the stone fireplaces,
the high beamed painted ceilings,
the tile stairway. An enormous
portrait of Rosa when she first
became an opera star dominates
the drawing room where numer-
Gus inscribed photographs of for
mer royalty. such as King Um-
berto of Italy and his Queen
Maria Pia. and Prince christopher
of Greece, add nostalgia touches
of glamorous and fascinating
days. All can be thrown into
complete darkness at night wher
Rosa takes her place at the piano

Modern Marriage
Daughter Is Advised to Leave This

By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

Mother is determined that her
daughter Clara shall marry-just
as soon as the right man comes
along. But the right man is not
going to come along while mother
lives.
You've known cases like that.
I'm living with my mother who
divorced my father shortly after
I was born" Clara reports. "She
never had any other children. I'm
her only chick, and she has given
her life to me, according to her
ideas. I'm now % and have a
good job in which I meet quite a
few young men. Some of them
come to the house and Nom al
ways greets them like a long lost
offspring. Each time she tells me
that this is by the far the finest
young fellow 1 have gone with.
But If they show signs of be.

well wishers. IT would like to
believe it will make it easier for
other women in the future, but"
she modestly added, II also feel
I must continue to earn the right
to keep the title"
Miss Roberts is diminutive-
she's only 5-foot inches in
height, dresses with a simple,
feminine touch and speaks with
"a directness that goes right to the
point.
A hard worker, the new execu-
tive's career is her life. "Airplanes
fly "a hours a day. SO our work
must be geared to that" she said
when asked how many hours she
puts into an average working day.
Transportation is a service to
the public, and you must be on
call all the time"
Miss Roberts thinks the air
transportation field offers un-
limited possibilities for women.
particularly since the last war
when women took over admins
trative jobs that were never open
to them before.
Women too have welded large
influence in the acceptance OF air
transportation as a popular mode
of travel. according to Miss
| Roberts. Just think of the num-
ber of men who wouldn't be n.y.
ing today had they not their wives
consent" she observed.
) Miss Roberts who. next to avia-
tion has only one other interest
the theater, thinks there is no
other business more dramatic"
than air transportation. However.
it has ceased to be a "glamorous"!
affair, she added. "It has be-
come a real business"
/ The new airlines vice president
sees a threat to the future, how
ever, if Government subsidies are
continued. "I believe subsidies
should be eliminated from the
major airlines in this country,
she declared, "in order that we
may maintain a system Of private
enterprise rather than Govern
lment ownership"
The pretty vice president got
her first start toward executive
horizons in 1889 when American
moved its main Offices from
Chicago to New York. She wa:
detailed to conduct a study oil
S housing, hospital, school ano
+ transportation facilities in the New
= York area so that when the air.
!, lines moved its TOO employees ant
d their families to the Eastern city
there would be little time OF
k money lost in finding suitable &C.

d "I'll never forget how scared

Mrs. Ethel w. Tonseth. Ma tional Executive Woman, 1850 1851, was born near Hutchinson, Kansas. The family moved to Oregon when Ethel was child, and she grew up there, attend ing Oregon State College where she met her future husband.
 Ethel taught piano music for several years before her marri- age to Einar A. Tonseth in 1923. The couple moved to Fairbanks, Alaska to live. She joined the American Legion Auxiliary, Fairbanks Unit in 1923 through her husbands service in World War 1.

 From our National President, Mrs. Willis C. Reed, whose leadership and example have been as beacon to guide us, to the newest of our own members, 1 offer heartfelt gratitude for your confidence and for the hours spent together in service and enjoyment.
 And to the late Mrs. M. E. Leavitt of Las Vegas, Nevada, our beloved National Vice Presi- dent of this Western Division, I humbly dedicate this report; for her personal interest and advice have often guided me when I turned to her for enlightenment, and she made each Department President in her division feel that she was long known family friend. Her passing sud denly in early July, is a great loss to all of us in the Auxiliary family.
 These friendships and even the hours of struggle during my tenure in office, have left me memories of love and devotion and an experience that are my richest reward for having tried to live up to my obligations to the best of my ability.
 But I shall not say Goodbye" for, though another will take up the obligations and leadership soon, I shall go back into your ranks and serve at your side as fellow worker. As I said a year ago, in my installation address, although things look better in Korea, the trouble is not yet over and may even break out more violently, there or else where; so our Community, State, and Nation needs our service and loyalty, still, more than ever.
