Western Union Strike Emphasizes Need
For Decisions at National Level

f0F DECISIONS at National Level
?" HE Telegraph Industrys problems stem from
a national communications policy which re-
quires Western Union to assume enormous
public responsibility but which withholds
the safeguards needed for the industry's survival
Specifically Western Union is required to give nation
wide service-in hundreds of small communities where
the small revenues drop in the bucket compared
to the cost of providing telegraph service. The millions
Western Union loses in serving these ow-voume areas
can be offset only if the telegraph company handle
enough telegraph business in the high-voume COM
munities
There is sufficient telegraph business in the United
States to support nationwide telegraph industry, but
Western Union does not handle that entire volume.
Millions of dollars worth of telegraph business every
year are handled by Government-operated tax-paid
telegraph network. Furthermore in 1851, other COM
munications companies handled telegraph business
worth nearly $50 million In draining off this telegraph
business, the other communications companies tap the
dense traffic areas which are Western Unions only

1000 Pairs of Helping Hands .
The JUNIOR LEAGUE
BY William ]. Meyer

TT ISN'T NEWS that Washington's
L welfare obligations, just as in most
communities, are increasing despite
the prosperity of the times; but it
is news that 1000 women in the
District area, without fanfare or
aggrandizement, are giving untold
hours of time and effort to help mini
mize those obligations.
In addition to time and hard work,
the women are in the midst of a
pledge to give 100000 to worthy
cause-maintenance of a psychiatric
clinic at Children's Hospital.
We're talking about the Junior
League of Washington.
Turn to the society pages of your
newspaper almost any day and you'll
probably find something involving
some Junior Leaguers-a fancy we'd
ding, gay reception or what not.
Perhaps that, in itself, has given
wrong general impression, for it can
not be denied that a majority of
persons probably look upon the league
as a group of social butterflies who
fit from one bridge club to another,
to debutante parties and country club
dances.
The fact Is, however, that member
ship in the league is dependent upon
a woman's ability and willingness to
donate a percentage of her time to
working for various organizations
needing such help. ANY member who
fails to carry her share of this work
Is dropped from the roster.
A prerequisite to membership is
six-week course in welfare work
fundamentals.
Perhaps the leagues social butter
fly" reputation dates from the time
the first local chapter was formed In
New York in 1901. In those gay, gas
lit days, many a society girl, on
graduation from finishing school,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-02-17

found herself with too much time on
her hands. 1t was these young ladies
who organized the league, probably
selecting Junior" in Difference to their
dowager mamas.
As the years rolled by, social
changes spread over the country.
More and more women went to work
The poor little rich girls with time
on their hands became fewer and
fewer. Today they are practically
nonresident. During the same period,
people became more community con-
scious. The league was no exception
1t adopted an bjective-helping out
in worthy community causes.
Welfare and community enterprises
already were the prime purposes of
Junior League chapters when the
Washington league was organized in
1918 by Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson
tnow Mrs. Smith Hempstene) and
Miss Ruth Larner (now Mrs. A. Cham
bers Oliphantp. In 1921, it affiliated
with the Association of Junior Leagues
of America, which then had 30 local
chapters Now it. has 176.
Little by little, the Washington
league, like the others, took on more
community responsibilities. In 1913,
it pledged 100000, in five annual
grants Of $4,000, to establish the
clinic at Children's.
A long-needed department at the
hospital, the clinic primarily Is to
instruct the star and nurses how to
approach and handle problems among
the child patients.
The 100000 clinic in itself might
seem an adequate undertaking for
group of wives and working girls, but
1t is only one Of the leagues activities.
Its members also serve as nurses
aides and in other jobs at Emergency,
Suburban, Georgetown, Childrens,

Keldin today accepted Judge
Joseph SherboW's resignation
from the supreme bench of Balti-

to accept the $4,000 a year job.
Expressing regret at the de-
Parture of the widely known

lacks sympathy for a move to

Sherbow announced early this
week he was stepping down in
February because the pay isn't
enough to. maintain his family on
"a reasonable living standard
and to educate his children.
Public service offers rich re-
wards and it sometimes exacts
sacrifices" said the Governor in
q statement.
Every man to whom the op-
portunity comes must decide for
himself whether the honorS and
satisfactions of judicial Office out
weigh the cost to him." he added.
The Governor also wrote Arthur

bows resignation be deferred until
after February. Price proposed
that the General Assembly, at its
session beginning next month, be
asked to raise judges salaries in
hope of inducing Sherbow to with
