Children of Many Faiths From Troubled Families Find !
Wonmtho tEPiscopoIto omei Plan House NextWeek
By Betty Miles

Like the storied woman who
lived in shoe. Anne Loving has
many chil6ren-but she knows
what to do to make them happy.
She has. in fact, forty-Seven,
"a girls and % boys, at the Epis-
copal Home for Children. There,
in an atmosphere that is the
antitheSis of the world of Oliver
Twist, she tries to create an en-
vironment that makes youngsters
emotionally as we'll as physically
healthy.
Next Wednesday, June IT. Mrs.
Loving and the children will hold
open house for all who would
like to come and visit them at
5901 Utah avenue NV.
The homes board of directors
is headed by Bishop Angus Dun.
The women's board raises money
for improvements and furnish
ingS. and for events like the car
nival held on the spacious
grounds not long ago. The home
Is maintained by the parents of
the children, according to their
ability to pay. and by the Com
munity Chest. of which it has
been member since 1892. The
children who live there are of
many faiths.
Most of the youngsters are
from broken homes. 1--WE have
any number of two and three
children from one family" direc-
tor Loving said. land very few
singles" Because she believes
the home actually has more to
offer younger children than teen
ayers, the age limit of 6 to 16
Is being lowered.
A social worker before she
came here-Mrs. Loving is still
technically on leave from her
post as director of Virginia's
Department of Social Welfare at
the University of Virginia-She
took her present post reluc-
tantly. 1t was her belief that
only one or two years of institu-
tional living were good for a
child, with the situation deteri-
Grating after that.
During her three and one half
years at the home. she has
changed her mind. Group living
of this kind need not conform
to the law of diminishing re-
turns after the first years, Mrs.
Loving now believes-if the par
ents keep in touch with the
children.
You can't hurt a child if he
knows that he is part of the
family plan, too she COM
mented.
I'VE have four children from
one family here now whose
mother has explained to them
that they are working with her
until the day when the family
can be together again."
In most of the cases, the chill

cial. that caused the separation
are eased.

Fashion Notes

Take it from no less an
authority than Judy Bond, the
famous blouse designer, that a
wardrobe of blouses can help
land you on a best-dreSSed list
If you will just consider them
the important wearableS they
are.
Your blouseS can look far more
chic if you use some of the
tricks that are practiced by
leading models and some of the
best dressed women in the world.
Wear your collar standing up
the way they do in PariS-for
more sophisticated look. Try q
bouquet of flowers INSIDE the
swan collar of a blouse. TWine
a string of pearls around
sheer silk scarf and wear it
above the neckline of a cardi-
gan-style blouse or one with
jewel neck. Criss-cross a narrow
grosgrain ribbon underneath
collar and fasten it with your

To Deliver Blood
Urgent Need
For RedCross
Drivers

The District Of Columbia Red
Cross Chapter yesterday issued
an urgent appeal for new volun-
teer drivers for motor service to
meet daily commitments for
blood deliveries to Washington's
hospitals and other necessary
assignments. Many of the cur
rent rosters volunteers are leav-
ing the city for vacations and q
number of wives who regularly
have served throughout the win

transferred elsewhere in mill

need for summer replacements,
particularly in the daytime. has
become acute.

get their bearings" Mrs. Loving
explained. She is assisted by
five house parents.
Everything is done to spare
the youngsters the feeling of
being different. They attend
the public schools, Lafayette
Elementary and Alice Deal Jun
ior High. Mrs. Loving prefers
not to take them into the home
in the middle of the school year
because a late start in school
makes them conspicuous. Al

homes lovely. blue-walled chapel

girls go to Sunday school at
All Saints Episcopal Church.
They belong to Scout troops,
too. Neighborhood youngsters
are invited to come and play
on the grounds, which include
a baseball field and a child
sized playhouse while they, in
turn, attend parties in the
other children's homes.

In the bath rooms, the wash

the boys-if a little boy wants a
corduroy coat. he wants cordu-
roy coat, and doesn't have too
much trouble selecting it. she
said. Little girls, on the other
hand, want to try on everything
on the rack.
I'm this work, you need a sense
of humor and OK strength" Mrs.
Loving, a native Of Lynchburg,
Va, reflected in her soft, south
ern voice.
She finds it easy to under
stand the parents who bring
their children there. After her
husband died 20 years ago, Mrs.
Loving herself was forced to find
another home temporarily for
her children, just as have the
parents of her present charges,
until the family could be to-
gether again.
She sent her boy to military
school and her girls to a board
ing school, while she got settled
in social work. Prior to her mar
riage she had been a nurse and
anesthetist, and had also studied
pediatrics. She went to work for
the Department of Public We'll
fare in Virginia, supplementing
her experience with study at
Richmond Professional Institute
and the University of Virginia.
Mrs. Loving lives in the large,
comfortable apartment provided
for the director at the home.
"Child-centered" in the physical
as we'll as the emotional sense,
the home was tailored to their
size and needs. Actually, it is
made up of three buildings

dining room and gymnasium,

The Fourth of July in Oakland
fifty years ago, 1903, was an eX-
tremely quiet one in comparison
to previous Fourths, according to
an account i'm The Republican of
July 8 of that year Nothing was
doing the entire day except the
small boy with his fire crackers
who kept up a continuous fusilade
until far into the night The fire
works set off during the evening
at private homes were beautiful
and of many varieties.
In the afternoon a game of base
ball was played by two picked
mines of Oaklanders. Bloomington
was to have played the regular
Oakland team but a telegram was
received Saturday morning from
there stating that it would be inn
possible to keep the engagement"
Oakland fans arranged a game
between the regulars and younger
element. The score was 6 to Z in
favor of the youngsters, Humbird
pitched for the regulars and Allen
caught. For the youngsters the bat
terry was composed of Brown and
Collins.
