Holiday From Work
lsNothing but Myth
To thousands Here

This gladstone, merry Yule Is
no holiday for the thousands
hereabouts who had to keep the
nose to the grindstone instead
Of in q Tom and Jerry cup.
Most Of these noses adorn the
faces Of housewives. laboring
extra much today because Of the
day it is.
Fortunately. the majority Of
these heroines do not find the
assignment onerous. since they
are at home. doing for their own
and for themselves.
But other thousands went out
reluctantly today to their old
Workaday jobs.
It was no day of for several
thousand bus drivers who had to
take hold Of the same old pro-
sale steering wheels.
And this was not day for
pipe and slippers for about 900
Metropolitan police. nor for the
on-shift officers in adjoining
towns and counties.
w FBT Carries On.
And there's the FBI. Not all
of it, Of course. Many G-men
have today of, But the job
went on and, as a FBI public
information man said, "We've
got skeleton coverage in identi-
f1cation, laboratory, communica-
tlons and investigation"
Today is a great day for trees
catching on fire, indoors. So
the fireladdies reported as usual,
except for perhaps one lucky
guy per firehouse who was able
to take annual leave.
Some deckhandS and coal
beavers and shippers had to go
Oh working. N6o the bridges over
the Potomac River had to be
opened for their craft. The
Highway Department said it
takes about three dozen men to
open those bridges.
Guards Can't Rest Either.
There were guards prowling
the vast gloom of the depart
ment stores and guards in the
Government buildings. The
General Services Administration
said it had 459 guards and fire.
men working today in and /
around the District.
Trains kept rolling. Airplane
people had to take their ships up. /
Military people had to pull
duty. GIs had to eat, thus GIs
had to do KIP.
Restaurants were open, and
you can't run an eating house
without cooks and other people.
Cows didn't take today off, so
neither did the milkmen. 1--WE
have to keep our plant open,"
one dairy official said, because
consumers want our eggnog."
Some One Needed to Pour.
And bartenders had to enliven |
the eggnog in their places.
This is the one day in the year
when visitors are not welcome at |
the Lincoln Memorial, Washing
ton Monument and jefferson
Memorial. Visitors notwithstand-
ing, those sl1rines' guards were
on the job.
The White House was pretty |
well shut down, but the place
can't be closed altogether. Even
with the principal tenants away
in Georgia, workers had to ap-
pear as on other days.
And the fact that the Eisen-
howers were in Augusta meant
work for the Secret Service men
and others who had to go along.
Some Government workers ap-
peared at their desks today, VOL
unfairly. A few were rattling
around in the big Commerce De-
partment Building, for example,
there on their own time.
The ones listed in this ac-
count are not at all today's only
toilers. The list could go on and

geons, nurses, television repair
men, clergymen, broadcasting

workers, animal rescuers, pro-

Neither pupils nor teachers will

ton.
The winner each week will be

club. If any room wins the picture
three weeks in succession, the pu-
pills will receive two hours off from
classes for recreation.
AS president of the Emerson
club, Norma Spruill is in charge
of securing the committee of in
spectors each week.
The rest of the chapel hour was
devoted to a program provided by
Mrs. Roy Kessinger's third and
fourth grade pupils. Those in the
fourth grade put on a playlet,
"The Three Tests" after which
R. E. (Dick) Jordan played a num-
Der of piano selectins. Mr.. Jor-

has revealed. 1t will be a subject
of special interest to Phyllis
Sawyer, daughter of Mrs. Curtis

summer she won room improve
ment recognition in the county,
For this she received a pin and
was sent to the district rally.
To earn this recognition, she
put a rod for hangers in her
clothes closet, made a desk out
of a table, furnished it with a
lamp and desk set, rearranged
the furniture, worked out a plan
for the storage space for blankets,
bought new bedspreads, got her
stepfather to put up a door for
her room, equipped it with a
clothes hook and secured a lamp
for her chest of drawers. The
Toler home is new and not en-
tirely completed, which was the
reason the room door had not
been hung.

sails, Captain Erickson would still
be at sea. Steamships probably are
all right, he admits, but he doesn't
think they compare with sailing
vessels.
There was one ship, though, he
was happy not to have been on.
When the Charles S. Hirsch was
new, he sailed on her. Later, when
he was no longer with her, she
was wrecked off Hatteras.
Mr.. Erickson never dwells long
on sad or serious things. He broke
off quickly after telling about the
fate of the Charles S. Hirsch to
ask :"How does a sailor know
there's a man in the moon?" The
answer is: Because he's been to
