The Orange Country Hunt
crowd has gone back to school
along with its assorted daughters
and sons. Two experimental
classes held last summer, one in
tennis and the other in cooking,
were so successful that both are
being repeated this fall.
Out at Highmeadows.. the JOS
eph Mulford's estate, a small
group of serious tennis fans are
being coached by a recent wom-
ems worlds singles champion.
Every Thursday afternoon. the
quixotic Virginia weather per-
mitting. the players gather on the
Mulford's court and try to i'm
prove their game. Herbert Shaw,
Gen. Richard Cults. Mrs. Robert
Burke, Mrs. Mulford and Billy
Dew are the star pupils but the
class fluctuates according to who
is here and who isn't.
The cooking class. held last
summer in Mrs. Edward Meades
kitchen at Sudley, has been moved
down to the parish hall in The
Plains. A Gordon Bleu by-product

This fall there are some re-

new and willing and include Mrs.

"The Father Flanagan of the
Philippines" is the name which
some of her friends have bestowed
on Mrs. Fernando Lopez, wife of
the Vice President of the Philip
pine Republic.
The Vice President and his wife
have been spending the last few
days in Washington, as part of al
month-long unofficial visit to this
country. They leave today for a.
few weeks in New York City. after
which they will go to Europe.
Mrs. Lopez. a petite black haired
woman who has six children of her
own, earned her title because of
her work in 1916 in helping found
"a Boys Town" in her home town
OF Iloilo City, on Panay Island in
the Philippines.
The project grew out of walk
Mrs. Lopez and her husband took
one evening through the streets
of 1loilo City. It was shortly after
Mr.. Lopez, a wealthy lawyer
Observation-Disclosures, had
been elected mayor of the city
his first public office-and not too
long after American troops had
liberated the Philippines from
occupation by the japanese.
The city still showed most of
the effects of the devastation
caused by the long japanese occu-
patton and the bitter fighting
which had subsequently ensued.
Sleeping in the Streets
The saddest aspect, Mrs. Lopez
recalled this week, was the great
numbers of children, particularly
little boys, who were sleeping in
the streets" Their parents had
died during the fighting, or had
come down with tuberculosis or
some other disease because of the
privations of the occupation.
There was no longer anyone to
care for the youngsters.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lopez were dis
cussing the children's plight on
that evening walk, and they re-
membered the story of Father
Edward Flanagan, who had come
to the rescue of similarly unfor-
tunate young boys in this country
by establishing Boys Town near
Omaha. Nebr.
The Lopezes had met the late
Father Flanagan briefly when he
made a trip to the Far East, and
had been very impressed by him.
They decided to follow his ex-
ample.
They started with $1,000, of
which they personally contributed
$500. The rest was collected from
the local Kiwanis, Chamber
1of Commerce and other civic
groups, with collection of funds
being Mrs. Lopez special respon-
sibility.
Most of the first money was
used to build and equip three
f1imsy bamboo houses for the boys.
There were no vacant dwellings
available in the wake of the wars
devastation, and they did not
have enough money to build more
substantial dwellings at that time.
More permanent structures are
now in use.
Sixty boys were collected to
occupy the first f1imsy structures.

Half of them were picked up off
the streets. The others were taken
out of prisons, where they had
been sent for minor offenses, and
thrown in with hardened adult
criminals.
Mrs. Lopez devoted much of her
time to raising funds for the
project the first few years, and
still takes charge of a special pre-
Christmas fund drive every year,
going home from the capital city
of Manila where her husbands S
vice presidential duties keep him.
In addition the government now
subsidies the activity to the
extent of $4,000 a year, from
funds collected in a national
sweepstake. Another Boys Town
has been set up outside Manila,
patterned after the one in Iloilo
City.
While she still lived in Iloilo
City, Mrs. Lopez used to visit the
boys each Sunday morning after
church, bringing them candy and
other gifts and, as she says,
trying to talk to them like a
mother and get them to tell me
their problems"
Bitter and Unhoppy ..
Most Of the children were quite
bitter and unhappy for the first
few months. but made "a re-
n1arkable recovery" she declares.
In addition to the Boys Town
project. which is nearest to her
heart, Mrs. Lopez also is interested
in many other welfare projects,
including the Red Cross. Com
munity Chest and a special sewing
course for INDECENT girls, all in
Manila where she now spends
most Of her time.
Married at the age Of II after
completing her high school educa-
ton. Mrs. Lopez spent the early
years of her married life caring
for her six children, the youngest

Junior League Holds
Annual Luncheon
Quite Variety of Subjects Brought Up
At Fall Gathering of Local Members
By Daisy Sheridan

Matters such as discussion on
narcotics, Towering crab apple
trees and a summer ermine wrap
occupied the time of members of
the Washington Junior League
yesterday at their annual fall
luncheon. This event took place
at the terrace room of the Shore
ham Hotel and there were about
$50 guests present.
Mrs. T. Perry Lippitt. jr., the
Leagues preXy, presided at the
luncheon which had many fea-
lures. There were several reports
from members on League activi-
ties, a fashion show, judging and
awarding prizes for center pieces
on the tables, which had been
done by members, and a talk. "The
Narcotic Menace Today, given by
Mr.. Malachi L. Harvey.
Gother at Noon
The crowd started congregating
at noon when old friends slipped a
glass of sherry together and
caught up on news of the summer
months. Seen coming in together
were Mrs. James K. Sullivan and
a very recent bride, Mrs. Sherry
T. McAdam. jr., formerly Miss
Anne Harrison.
At the speakers table which was
on a slightly elevated platform
were Mrs. Lippitt, looking lovely
in a blush gray suit and black
velvet hat. Mr.. and Mrs. Harney,
and the Rev. and Mrs. Frank w.
Blackwelder, the former giving
the Invocation.
Others were Mrs. Louis Hood,
jr., first vice president; Mrs. Ran
dali H. Hagner. jr., second vice
president; Mrs. John Hoy Kauff-
mann, sporting a pert navy Cha
peau. secretary; Mrs. Emmett
Echols, treasurer; Mrs. Arthur T.
Hadley, II. finance chairman:
Mrs. P. Landon Banfield, carnival
treasurer: Mr.. Banfield, Mrs.
William Lipscum Borden, educa-
tional chairman; Mrs. Clarence
Dodge, jr.. invitation chairman;
Mrs. Walter Shealor, chairman
of the blood donor program, and
Mrs. Joseph K. Rulon.
Carnival Report
Among the short reports by the
members was one given by Mrs.
Hood on the net proceeds gained
from the carnival last June. Mrs.
Hood ran this exhausting enter
prise which brought in over $4,000
for the leagues projects.
Before this energetic young
matron (she was married two
weeks after the carnival. Incl
dently) launched into the long
list of receipts and expenditures
she said that she felt little like
Senator Nixon.
Center pieces on several of the
tables were arranged by the men,
bers and were judged. The win
ners were Mrs. William L. Howell.
Mrs. Hood, who had to skip her
sherry to straighten a pumpkin
which was part of her arrange
ment, and Mrs. Bernard A.
Schriever who received a large
sack of grass seed to lug home.
Tree Is Presented
The next presentation went to-

mer in the head of Landon School

|preciation they received a flower
ing crab apple tree. However. Mr..
and Mrs. Banfield did not have
to spend the rest of the after
noon with pick and shovel since
they were only given a crepe
paper replica of what is to come.
The real thing will be delivered
in two or three weeks which is
the fall deadline on planting this
type of tree.
During the luncheon, which
went from fruit cup to chocolate
parfait and even included green
noodles. there was fashion show
put on by the Thrift Shop and
the Out-Grown Shop. The second
hand clothes that are donated
or sold on a commission basis to
these shops are resold as an
other fund-raising means.
Members Model
Among some of the pretty young
members of the organization who
modelled were Miss Betty Easton,
Mrs. Samuel F. Powell III, Mrs.
Donald r. Larrabee, Mrs. William
B. Brown, Mrs. Charles T. Kapp-
Ter, Mrs. Henry T. Dietrich, Mrs.
Theodore N. Mcdowell. Miss Dore
Martin (who, incidentally. was
with her mother, Mrs. William
Herron), Mrs. j. B. L. Reeves,
Miss Lucy Hoffman and Mrs. John
Medaris.
There were bargains galore,
from evening dresses for $3.50 to
a summer ermine wrap for $215.
Mr.. Harvey was introduced by
Mrs. William Borden. His talk
was encouraging in that he said
although dope addiction had in
creased right after the last war,
it is now on the downward trend.
Very much the same situation
existed after the First World War,
he said. After he read an excerpt
from a statement by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury in 1919 on
the conditions at that time, it |
sounded more like report from
the recent Keafauver committee.
When asked what would be the
best way to stop addiction, he felt
that treatment should be forced
on the victims.
Official Job
Mr.. Harvey is the Technical AS
sistant to the Secretary for En-
forcement. Treasury Department.
A large man who at one time dur
ing his career was distinguished
as boxer, he helped make the

ROSh haSh0nah Memories

After dinner, papa would say,
"Come boys, to the river" We
would go to the river to cast in
our sins. I could always see the
bubbles rising in the water where
I tossed my sins. 1 was always
glad that l had done a little sin
ming during the year, so I had
something to throw in. My older
brother used to say, 81 threw in
a bigger load than you" I would
say, mo, mine was bigger" 1t
seemed to me then that if all the
people in the world would, like
the Jews, throw their sins into
the river instead of being loaded
down with them, this would be
a better world
We would come back from the
river and papa would lay down
for little nap. When he awoke,
we would go back to the syna-
gogue. On Rosh Hashonah, it was
a double feature.
That's the way it was-in those
days of long ago. It seems to me
now it was all so charming.

NEW YORK, Possibly the most
important lesson learned by the
Army in Korea is that mixed
units Of white and colored
soldiers make stronger fighting
teams than segregated units.
In an analysis of the combat
record of the colored soldier in
Korea in the current issue of
THE REPORTER Magazine, John
b. Spore and Robert F. Cocklin,
both associated with the Combat
Forces Journal, declare that Eek
perience taught the Army that
the average colored soldier is as
able and spirited as his white
counterpart when he is convinc-
ed that his superiors have conf
dence in him and are treating
him as an equal"
Although the lesson could have
been learned during the Second
World War, the Army was re-
1uctant to act as a vehicle for
social reform" It pointed to
several War College studies
made after the First World War
which found large colored COM
bat units inefficient and trouble
some" and recommended that
the Army never again form color
ed units of divisional size.
Segregation dies hard in the
Army despite recommendations
as early as 1922 that racial diff
culties could be avoided if one
or two colored soldiers were
placed in every white squad.
In 1945 the Gillem board,
headed by Lieutenant General
A. G. Gillem, recommended what
in actual practice would have
meant the creation of a Second
Army consisting entirely of color
ed soldiers" This proposal wa
