Fair Opens To Capacity Crowd

The VIVA Fair opened last even- ing with capacity crowd in at tendance.
 Official welcome was made by President Mrs. c. R. Jackson and by past-president Charles D. Jones who expressed appreciation to the efforts of the many civic-minded citizens who had worked on the preparation for the Fair.
 The style show and entertain ment which was sponsored by the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority was presented, showing the old and the new. Mrs. H. F. Harper was com mentator for the styles of the early days which portrayed several treasured family heirlooms. In- cluded were dresses of Christie Waldhelm, Mrs. l.. E. Ost, Jennie Martin, Mrs. T. Lehman, ST., which were over 50 years old, and a Paris creation belonging to Mrs. Marc Anderson which was 25 years old.
 A barber shop quartet, complete with curly mustaches and high collars, sang oldtime songs. Nome's new quartet is composed of Ray Tveter, Richard Small, Robert Treat, and Arnold CoWan. We hope to hear more of them this winter. Special numbers during this part of the show were by Katherine Bjornstad, who did Frankie and Johnnie, and MT. and Mrs. Eric Hay, who danced the fashioned waltz.
 Modern styles were presented by Betty Colby of the NC. as com mentator. Lovely new gowns from the NC. Store, Dorothy's and furs from Polet's were fashioned by group of the younger set, with musical comedy being supplied by MT. and Mrs. Frank KillinS, Bill Boucher and Bob Drought.
 BarkSdale White, Don Bryant and Charles Jones were respon- sible for appropriate musical set ting throughout the entertain ment.
 Following the stage show the crowd moved into the room occu- pied by the Mining Division where several interesting movies were shown. It is understood that the pictures will be shown again this evening following the Eskimo entertainment.
 Many interesting exhibits throughout the auditorium as well as in several of the class rooms held the crowd until quite late last evening.
 The exhibits will remain on display with the awards attached this evening. Saturday morning the exhibits will be dismantled and the hall prepared for the concert and dance.

To learn how effective the multi
test clinic is. and to find facts to
guide health officials elsewhere, the
Richmond clinic was studied by the
Health Information Foundation, an
organization that gathers and dis
tributes basic information about
health.
A summary, tells some interesting
facts:
Seven out Of every 10 people with
the health warnings saw their doctors
for further checkups or treatments.
The others did nothing, saw nurses,
treated themselves or possibly had
conditions, like moderate fatness,
that didn't demand treatment.
To many of the 10000, the report
OF possible trouble was really news.
Being suspicious that something
might be wrong apparently wasn't a
main factor, or even a very strong
influence, in making people visit the
clinic
The clinic experience apparently
encouraged many to see doctors.
Some II per cent went to doctors
they had never visited before. About
two-thirds Of the visitors later saw
doctors or attended other clinics for
health checkups. This, said the foun-
dation. may mean the multitest
clinic helps make people more health
conscious

Washington Light Infantry was COM
posed Of as fine body Of representa-
tive men as Washington could boast.
The Light Infantry showed rare
Judgment in erecting this building.
It not only provided adequate
quarters for its meetings, drills
and social functions. but an up
to-date theater. as we'll. OF this
the city was greatly in need. for the
only amusement houses here at that
time were the National Theater,
Ford's Opera House, at Louisiana
avenue and Ninth street; the Theater
Comique, at Eleventh and C streets,
and the Dime Museum, on D street,
where now stands the old Post Office
Department Building. The Comique
was strictly mans house, and the
Dime Museum was just about what
the name implies-more of side
show than anything else, with an
occasional opening feature and the
like thrown in as added attractions.
BY this you will see that there
were then in the city only two thea
ters which could be frequented with
propriety by the ladies and their
escorts. and where a first-class per-
formance might have been seen, these
being the National and Ford's Opera
House.
Because of the need of such a
building. pains and money were not
spared in its erection. Prior to its
completion the theater was leased
to John w. Albaugh. who was then
the manager of our National Thea
ter and of the Holiday Street Thea
ter Of Baltimore. He seems to have
had habit Of leasing new theaters,

Early Days in A|bough's Grand Opera House

Perhaps the old-timer will recall
the Washington Light Infantry Corps,
a military organization that meant
In its day SO very much to the people
Of Washington until it lost its iden-
tity-and uniform. too, when it was
merged into the District Of Columbia
National Guard.
During its existence it probably
participated in every parade of note
held on Pennsylvania avenue, and
the cry used to be: Here comes the
Light Infantry! Here come the Ma
tional Rif1es!" They were marching
up the Avenue as one man.
Those were the days of competition
in soldiery. and the National Rifles
were the infantry's nearest rival for
honors. What a grand sight each
body made as it executed its most
difficult movements, with thousands
OF admirers watching from the side
walks and buildings along the most
historic thoroughfare in the United
States. They would stretch out at
times In company front formation,
covering the Avenue from curb to
curb in what seemed to be almost a
perfect line. And the infantry's
shakos! Where will we ever find a
better looking group of men, more
handsomely uniformed?
The National Guard has the ap-
pearance Of fighting men. When we
see 1t on parade we think Of war. OF
course, we realize that as long as we
settle our differences on the field of
battle. we will need trained soldiers
to protect us. But the citizen soldiery
had its place. too. and the Washing
tonian looks back today with pride
on the drill teams we used to have.
From time to time they won all the
prizes from the Atlantic to the Pa
cif1c for competitive drilling.

paper stories and announcements.
Radio announcements and bulletins
in stores and factories also helped in
getting people to attend.
The location of the clinic is i'm
portant, the survey finds. About half
Of the time the clinic was located in
downtown department stores, and o
high percentage of visitors were wom-
an shoppers. By trailer. the clinic
visited factories, companies, colleges
and other institutions.
More people in middle-in
brackets attended than people in high
or low brackets.
Doctors interviewed were divided
about whether the clinic was effective
medically. Some were concerned
that a negative report on the clinic
tests might lead people to think they
didn't have any ailments at all. Doc
tors warn that a clean bill of health
can't be given by the clinic.
But the public generally liked the
clinic. Ninety-five per cent of
cross-Section favored running the
clinic again. More than 80 per cent
said they'd be willing to pay for the
tests. and many favored using tax
or Community Chest funds to support
it. The 1850 clinic was free, paid for

MuItitest Clinics Find unsupported Ailments

NEW YORK.-One in every four
people taking health clinic checkup
found something wrong with their
health. Most hadn't previously sus-
pected anything was wrong.
This 1-in-4 with health danger
signals turned up in a screening Of
10000 persons last year in seven
month multitest clinic in Richmond,
Va. The results may well apply to
people in other areas.
Ten thousand men and women
learned they had signs of some health
defect, a survey shows. The main
findings were high blood pressure,
anemia, overweight or underweight,
eye troubles, too much sugar in the
urine. tuberculosis and heart troubles,
In that order.
The multitest clinic checks people
for two to 10 or more chronic ILL
nesses at time, in lotto 15-minute
series Of tests. The idea is new, but
is spreading rapidly. Multitest
clinics, giving a few or many tests,
have been staged so far from Cali
fornia to Massachusetts,.
This kind of clinic doesn't dag
nose diseases. It gives blood tests,
X-rays and other tests to spot people
who have something wrong. The re-
suits are referred to the persons
own physician. who then can give
the real verdict and any needed
treatments. The purpose is to catch
chronic. diseases early. when they are
most easily durable or controlled.

the bulk of the population repre-
sented the most persuasive form of
Communist activity. Some type of
propaganda was associated with
everything they did. Red troops who
moved down unarmed Republican
soldiers with burp guns were polite
and friendly with civilians.
The Reds quickly took over all
means Of communication. News
papers were suppressed. private radios
confiscated to keep out U. N. broad
casts. Propaganda, dinned in by con-
slant repetition, was simple, intense
and bitter. It was lavish in praise of
North Korea and Russia and bitter
against the "reactionary and cor
rupt" Rhee government and the "im-
perialist" United States. Much was
made Of the fact that the United
States provided sugar with which the
ROk government set up a candy fac
tory. What kind of help for Korea
are candy factories?" the Communists
sneered.
Positive Propaganda
But there was also a positive side
to the propaganda. The Communists
promised unification. land distribu-
ton, equal status for women. These
promises won them a large measure
OF support and cooperation.
Behind all formal authority there
was a hidden power. All important
questions were referred ito the
North" AS an assistant museum
curator put it: "The authorities lived
in Pyongyang. getting their instruc-
tionS from Moscow"
Aside from the quick elimination of
officials considered hopeless" from
the Communist point of view, the
Reds in general were not ruthless.
Only a few reports indicate behavior
contrary to their consistent policy of
politeneSs and courtesy. But no
amount Of superficial courtesy could
remove the terror of the secret po-
lice. the constant surveillance, the
knowledge of the liquidation lists.
Nevertheless. the politeneSs policy
paid of. Even eyewitnesses to the
murder. pillage and arson that
marked the Reds last hours in Seoul
tended to blame frenzied individuals
for systematic terror the Communists
had carefully planned.
In establishing the new govern
ment and assembling personnel to
run it the Communists quickly re-
placed all but few of the old leaders.

D. c. Employment Trends
By Victor R, Dolly

Employment for the District Of Columbia
The question naturally arises as to
where all of these workers are going
and what do they find to do? BY
answering the second part Of the
query first, the entire, picture is
clarified. These non-white workers,
women as we'll as men, are finding
employment in occupations and in
industries from which they have been
traditionally excluded as recently as
10 years ago. Significant changes oc-
Cured from 1910 to 1850 in the occu-
pational composition of minority
group workers. The number of nom
whites employed as clerical workers
more than tripled. In 1910. only IL
per cent of all non-white women
gainfully employed were engaged in
sales and clerical activities. In 1850,
this figure had jumped to So per cent.
Likewise at the beginning of the
decade professional and technical en-
ployment afforded opportunities to
only 4.6 per cent of all gainfully en-
ployed non-whites. by 1850 these OPP
portunities had risen to 1912 per cent.
Foctoy Work Opens Up
However, it is in the field Of manu-
facuring that the great masses Of
non-white workers have made the
most significant gains in employment
during the decade. This is a field
that has long been denied to minority
group workers, in spite of the fact
that manufacturing is the basic
American industry. In 1850, 25.3 per
cent of all employed persons in this
country were engaged in some form
of manufacturing. During the dec
ade, that part of the non-white Ia
bor force engaged in manufacturing
rose from approximately half mil
lion workers to a little more than q
million.
AS the drive toward defense re-
armament continues the use Of this
type Of labor will become more and
more widespread. It is one of the
chief sources of reserve labor in the
plans for manpower mobilization.
The District of Columbia is not ma
terially affected by the increasing
uoS VI A1OAA- W4AOC 4dbO1 LII AZ
turing and heavy goods industries.
because that type of industry is not
located here. Cities like Detroit,
Pittsburgh. Akron and Bridgeport are
very definitely affected, however.
The phenomenal growth Of the
non-white population in Washington
has been due to the mounting op-
portunities in clerical occupations in
Government service during the dec
ade. Because of the elimination Of
racial identity from Government en-
ployment applications and other per-
sonnel records. it is no longer pos
sible to specify exactly the number
of non-white workers employed in
the Government service. Estimated
increase in the employment oppor-
tunities for non-white workers in
Government service In Washington
range from $50 to 300 per cent dur
ing the past decade.
