He is David McCarty, as
sistant foreman Of the COM
posing room. He is as busy now
as he ever was--his starched.

they ever were after q days
handling Of inky type. Dave
knows a lot about the ghosts.
Dawes father. before him.
had been a highly respected
member Of The Star organiza-
ton and foreman Of The Stars
original stereotype department.
When the elder McCarty died.
Dave decided to quit school and
go to work. He was Is years
lold and he got q job as a Star
messenger boy. That was In
November Of 1898, and later he
moved into The Stars new
building-just as he Is doing
now. some so years later: Nov
ing into The Stars new build
ing. The ghosts Dave remem-
bers most wildly in connection
with the move are the people
who kept dropping by to see
The Stars new building. a mar
vel of the newest and most up
to-date newspaper plant in the
country.
Dave, however, was not
particularly impressed BY the
marvel. He was a busy young
man. with work to do. His daily
job was to travel by bicycle
from The Star Building to
Wisconsin avenue. where The
Star maintained its Georgetown
bureau between N and o streets !
There he picked up the hand
written copy from Our Own
Georgetown Correspondent and
started pedaling back to town.
It required more time for Dave
to get the copy from our
Georgetown bureau in those
days than it does for us to get
copy from our Paris bureau
these days.
Other Stops
On his way back to The Star.
Dave stopped by the Weather
Bureau to pick UP the weather
report. His next stop was the
State, War and Navy Building.
where Star Reporter A. j..
Clarke handed him his news
report Of those three depart
ments - which probably were
more closely unified then than
they are even now. Then he
crossed the street to the White
House and collected copy from
Bill Price, then the only re-
porter-and the first one ever
to be assigned regularly at the
White House.
Back at The Star, Dave
handed his copy to Alec Cowell.

blank walls, ceilings and floors.
Their goal has been emptiness.
This achieved. they themselves
moved out.
Then the ghosts moved in.
They are pleasant and for the
most part friendly ghosts-the
shadowy memories Of people
and things that once filled
now-empty. silent rooms Of the
old Star Building with the
busting movement. vibrant life
and disciplined excitement Of
q newspaper office.
We are. sure the ghosts, who
now have taken over the old
Star Building. are as proud as
we are Of the fine, new Star
Building In Southeast WASH
ington. For they. too, helped
to make 1t possible. We are
equally sure they are as sorry
to see US leave as we are to
leave them. Last night, stop
ping for q moment on Pennsyl-
vania avenue for q final look
back at the old building. any
body with keen hindsight could
see the ghosts crowding around
the windows. They were watch
ing US go. bravely waving us
on. yet pleading ''beseechingly"
to be taken along.
BEYOND Removing
Too bad we couldn't do it.
But ghosts, unlike the ma
chinery. furniture, files and all
the odds and ends of q news
paper office. are not removable.
They would be completely lost
and out of-place in the acres of
space in the new building we
have moved into. Best leave
them where they are.
In time they will pass away,
bored to extinction by having
to haunt a building with no
laundering presses in it. no
sweet scent Of ink and news
print in the air. They say that
is what happened to the ghosts
who were left behind-78 years
ago-when The Star moved
across the street from the
southwest to the northwest
corner of Eleventh street and
Pennsylvania avenue. The Star
had occupied the building on
the southwest corner for %
years. time enough to have &C.
cumulated a few ghosts, but
by now they are gone and no.
body knows precisely what
happened to them.
The ghosts we are leaving In
the old Star Building are really
in two buildings.s The Oldest
building is the one at the cor
ner Of Pennsylvania avenue
and Eleventh street. built in
1893-l900 on the site of yet
another. still older Star build
ing. The other is the annex. .
to the north and Immediately
adjoining the old Star Building.
This ai.rlex was begun in 1920
and completed in 1922, Some
of the people aro1ld The Star
still cali it. or think Of it as,
the new building. That
doesn't mean that it is riewg
it merely means the people
who call 1t new are getting
much older. But both buildings
were chocxfull of ghosts last
night.
There are a number Of people
around town. now retired, who
were working on The Star when
1t moved In 1900 into its
nce-snow- white, mahle-faced
building at the corner of
Eleventh and Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. 1t is three months short
of SO years ago that this new"
building was formally dedi-
Gated and the public invited to
inspect it. There is only one

Gated in City Hall, 470 Indiana
avenue NV.
There were others at The
Star who had moved into the
new" building with Dave
including Frank B. Noyes, the
very young president of the
newly reorganized Associated
Press; Philander johnson,
Helena Mccarthy. The Stars
first society editor; Samuel H.
Kaufman. the first president
of The Evening Star Newspaper
Co.. and his son, Victor. who
was Sunday editor. and a
bright young man learning the
rudiments of circulating g

There was Richard Mclean
foreman of the composing
room, whose son Will. would
also become a later foreman
There was mfr. Southland "
the dignified, professional gen.
tleman who succeeded Richard
Mclean as composing room
foreman.
All are gone now, except
Dave and some Of his retired
colleagues. But most OF them
lived to move with Dave into
the new" annex. in 1922, and
there are plenty Of people
around The Star Office who re-
member them as clearly as
Dave does; people who came
along later on. forging new
links in an unbroken chain
connecting past and present
which continues to lengthen as
the years stretch out.

that letter definitely prove
that he is a dedicated frater-
nalist and a benevolent pa
ternalist.
He stated that he'd just be-
come a grandfather for the
18th time. He wanted to give
this newcomer an appropriate
gift - and what could be
more appropriate, more last
ing and more valuable than a
certificate of membership in
the .CFU? l~
In order to make that gift
complete and unencumbered
he wanted to pay for a $1,000
20 Year Endowment certi-
ficate in one lump sum-on a
Single Premium basis. Did we
have such and would we
please explain it to him?
Yes indeed, the CFU has
been in the Single Premium
market for a year now an6
we are pleased to say that
the Junior Order has cor
raled the lions share of it.
in the main, it has been jus
such presentations by grand.

have popularized this rela
lively new method Of "buy
ing" the best insurance pro
lection in the world.
Not only is Single Premium
a new item in our portfolio of
business" but it makes of
our already attractive cover
ages even a greater bargain.
What It's All About
Let, us demonstrate for the
benefit Of all, as we did for
the grandfather in question,
these most appealing aspects
of the outstanding bargain in
the insurance industry.
The Single Premium cost
for $1,000 of coverage on the
20 Year Endowment plan for
a child under six months
(Age o. is just $673.46.
This, however, is not the
actual cost because it will
be reduced by 19 annual
dividends. of So each or $57
to bring the net outlay to
but $616.46.
Upon the maturity of the
certificate GO years hence)
the member can withdraw his
$1,000 thereby pocketing a
clear profit Of $383.54 but al
so losing all further coverage
and membership benefits.
Far, Better Options
He has 2 very much better
options at his disposal.
Under the first of these he
can take out $72O.74 in cash
and, in addition, receive a
fully paid-up certificate for
$1,000.
When we realize that the
net cost was $616.46 and that
he received back $720.74 we
see that merely for the use
of his net investment, the So
ciety gives him back all of
that plus $1O4.28, plus q fully
paid-up certificate.
Amazing-yes, but true.
And, this is not all for, from
then on he will continue re-
ceiving annual dividends on
that paid-up contract.
Under option number 2
he can elect no withdrawal
Of cash and receive instead
= fully paid-up certificate
in the amount of $S,581-
almost 4 six fold increase.
And, it definitely viii be
even better than that for his
annual dividends lat the rate
Of ST. per thousand) will sub
stantially further reduce the
original net outlay.
Yes, verify bargains galore

not even know that they are
members. They do not attend
meetings. Their parents pay
their dues for them while
they can, and when the par
ents are no longer able to pay
for them in many cases the
young member drops out of
the Society.
We cannot blame the
young people alone for this
negligence, but must, once
again, let the blame fall
upon the parents.
If the parents reared their
children from their earliest
years in the spirit of mutual
fraternity, if they would take
them along to lodge meetings,
if they would tell them some
thing good about the impor-
tance and need for fraternal
organizations, some Of it
would remain with the young
people after they grow up.
Of course, we have many
examples of young people
who were brought up in a
fraternal atmosphere. These,
in addition to their many in
terests and connections, take
part in the activities of our
Croatian Fraternal Union.
It would be much more ac-
curate to say that were it not
for these young people our
Society would disappear --
for, to tell the truth, they are
the ones who will assure a
good future for our organiza-
ton.
Good Old Days Farce
Many of our older members
tell how nice it was in the old
days, when great numbers of
our members attended the
lodge meetings, while today
the meetings are poorly at
tended.
That the meetings were bet
ter attended in past years we
all know. That they are not
so well attended in present
times is felt in every lodge.
But, if we understand the
reasons, then we will not
grieve for the so-called good
old days, which were not bet
ter, but worse, which is ex-
actly the reason why the
meetings were better atten-
ded then.
Where could our old people,
even we who are members for
40 and more years, 60 on a
Sunday? We could hardly
wait for lodge meeting time,
and without being notified to
attend we went there.
We found ourselves a.
mong friends, enjoyed good
conversation or an Occa-
sional friendly argument
and in general enjoyed
ourselves, for that was al
most our sole entertain
ment, EXCEPT what we had
