Interesting Note
From Washington
In a recent issue of the Banner-
Herald there was a column by
Peter Edson (NEA writer) and
the following quote is of interest
to many Athenians:
“Always Room for You, Senator
“Senator Millard el‘ydings of
Maryland is planning a real blow
out for his daughter’s debut next
December. He lists her in the
Congressional Directory as Elea
nor Tydings, Jr. His wife’s first
name is Eleanor and she is the
daughter of Ambassador and Mrs.
Joe Davies.
“Anyway, when Mrs. Tydings
went to the Mayflower Hotel re
cently to make reservations for
her daughter’s coming out party,
she was amazed to find that the
place was blocked solid for a year
in advance, with conventions. Few
people realize It, but Washington
is rapidly becoming the number
one convention town of the coun
try. But when the hotel manage
ment heard about the Tydings
debut plans, it cancelled one of
the conventions to make roonr.”
Mrs. Davies, grandmother of
Miss Tydings, is the former Miss
Emlyn Knight, from Madison,
Wis. When she was a girl she
lived in Athens on Hill street in
the house that is now owned by
Sigma Chi fraternity.
Miss Knight attended Lucy
Cobb Institute and was a member
of the German Club, of which
there were fourteen members.
Many of the German Club mem
bers will remrember Miss Knight
and her vivid pgrsonality.

session of the cameramen’s an

a dance instructor. She hails

Good turns done by members of
the Junior Planning Board and
Scribes Club of the Athens Girl
Scouts returned in full measure
to them on their recent three-day
outing to Okefenokee Swamp.
Soon after their departure
Scoutabout had a flat tire. To
reach the spare, one must lie on
the ground and wunscrew mud
rusted screws — but two men
worked about 45 minutes and
would not take a thing for the dirt
they got and a cut hand. Our
thanks to Mr. Wright Turner, a
farmer and Mr. L. C. Chafin, a
filling station owner at Rayle, Ga.
The first night the Scouts spent
[at Laura S, Walker State Park
near Waycross, and the girls slept
out on the lake shore there. Mr.
Joiner, assistant superintendent,
greeted us and his most efficient
helper Mr. Folsom was sort of a
Mr. Belvedere, who drove the ’
spray machine around and fogged
the grounds where we cooked, who |
chopped wood for the fire, operat- «'
‘ed a lunch room and was life |
guard. The girls thought him |
rather much whistle-bate, too. Mr, !
Joiner entertained the group at!
breakfast with his ready wit and !
}et us use his bathhouse for dress
ing.
Next day the group drove to
Camp Stephen Foster, operated by
Tony Herring with whom arrange
ments had previously been made
to take the group on a 24-mile boat
trip into the swamp. “We've been
looking for you all day,” was our
greeting from James, Mr. Her
ring’s helper. Mr. Herring was a |
prize ‘Santa Claus who gave up |
his rainccat along with ‘Kilroy”
(Mr. H. Jernigan) and Barney
‘Cone,” the new wild lhfe refuge
ranger. Under the ef&pert guid
ance of this trio the Scouts soon
learned to spot the *’Gaters” sub
merged but for their eyes and
nose bumps and to see the white
ivey birds taking off through the
cypress swamp . They also found
an eagle’s nest and saw the young
eagle perched in a tree nearby.
They visited Minnie’s Lake and
Billy’s Island where the Boy
Scouts ‘camp. They saw no
snakes. l
Thoroughly wet by the time |
they returned to camp, the girls
were most grateful for the hot
chocolate made by Mrs. Herring, |
Mrs. Jernigan and Nell. |
Nor did the kindness stop there
—while busy preparing supper for
guests, the kitchen stove was,
shared with the Scouts to prepare
a supper as a downpour outside
made outdoor cooking impossible.
Ten cent drinks were five cents |
for Scouts and a dormitory usually
rented for $1.50 came to be night
headquarters for the Scouts for
25 cents. While the leaders were
planning supper from the stocks
on Mr. Herring’s shelves, Mr. E.
C. Creel, Shades Mountain, Bir
mingham, Ala., came over and |
asked if he might pay for the girls’ |
baked beans and buy them .each
a box of fig newtons for dessert. |
On the way home next day the
barber in Douglas, Ga. kindly used
his electric massager to relieve
Patsy’s very stiff neck, and Mrs.
Duke at the city park let us use
the picnic tables ir their beauti
ful little park to spread out noon- |
day lunch. l
With good reason, these Scouts |
concluded—the world is full of
wonderful people.
Drivers and adult advisers for |
the trip were Mrs. J. R. Johnson, l
Mrs. James aGtes and Dorothy
Shutt. Scouts making the trip
were Ida Myrle Messer, Nan Dan
ner, Barbara Key, Joyce Seymour,
‘Fileen Wheelis, Faye Spratlin, |
Jackie Woods, Sherry Gabrielson, |
Connie Paul, Marforie Gill, Linda
Hughs, Patricia Johnson, Nancy‘
Coggin, Peggy Westfall and Patsy |

Local Police
Avoid Sex Crimes
Seven ways to aid in avoiding
sex crimes have been issued by
City Police Chief Clarence Rob
erts.
He cited the increasing number
of sex crimes in many parts of the
nation, and issued the following
suggestions in order to help keep
the number of sex crimes here
low:
(1) Children should stay in
groups going to and from school,
not alone.
(2) Children should avoid short
cuts through alleys, ete.
(3) Children should be wary of
talking to strangers and of accept
ing gifts, food, money or automo
bile rides from them.
(4) Children should go straight
home from school.
_(5) If a stranger is excessively
friendly to a child he should get
the tag number and description of
the car and person or persons in
the vehicle,
(6) This excessive friendliness
on the part of strangers should be
reported to parents, to the police
man on the beat, or police head~-
quarters.
(7) If a stranger tries to force
a child into a car, the child should
make a break for the nearest
house,
Lightweight railroad cars man
ufactured for domestic roads in
the three postwar years of 1946-
1948 would form a train about 400
miles Jong. This train would be
made up of more than 41,000 new
freight cars and about 2200 pas
senger cars, built largely of low
alloy and stainless steels.
The little-known electronic tube,
the “ignitron,” used to change al
ternating electric current to direct
current, now has been adapted for
use on railroads. This tube per
mits use of alternating current
power to operate direct current
driving motors.
It has becen estimated that ap
proximately 10 per cent of the
population of the United States is

MRS. SHAW CRACKS DOWN--
ON THE CAPITAL CRASHERS
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON - (NEA) -
There’s been a tragic development
on the Captial’'s social front —
tragic, at least, for the town’s
numerous party crashers and
cocktail-loving bachelors.
By popular demanJ of harassed
hostesses the Washington Socjal
Bureau, a war casualty, has been
recreated. The post - war party
pace had gotten out.of their hands
and they needed help desperately,
Formerly run by her mother,
the reinstated bureau is now un
der command of Carolyn Hagner
Shaw, . Washington’s recognized
social arbiter. For a price, the
bureau shoulders all or any part
of a hostess’ duties, and with
guaranteed eclat. Mrs. Shaw's
goal is to make hostesses even
enjoy their own parties.
No affair is too small, none too
big, for the bureau’s operation, It
handled the wedding of Secretary
of Treasury Snyder’s daughter,
Drucie. It also managed the guest
list and seating arrangement of
the huge, gala pageant celebrating
Washington’s 150th anniversary as
the nation’s capital, as well as all
the details of the fabulous recep
tion for the President of Chile and
President Truman at the Chilean
embassy.
®* @ *
Certain segments of the city’s
population, however, are charging
Mrs. Shaw with being stuffy and
old-fashioned on several impor
tant points of etiquette.
She staunchly believes that
guests at any affair should first
be invited, for instance. As a re
sult, the social orbit of a great
many Washington party - goers
who long since discarded such
antiquated formalities has been
seriously reduced. .
The bureau now insists upon a
carefully checked guest list for
every function it manages. You
announce your name at the door,
and if it isn’t on the list you're
politely told that you've probably
come to the wrong party. If you
decide to debate the point or ap
peal the decision. Mrs. Shaw or
one of her several assistants who
are always on hand will gladly
take up your case. It's difficult
to tell Mrs. Shaw that there is a
mistake on the list, because she’s
the one who puts it together.
That leads up to why imbibing
bachelors, as a group, are a little
miffed at the bureau’s work. Be
ing a so-called eligible bachelor in
Wastionton has become a career
for scores of young, middleaged,
and even old men. It has meant
PAGE THREE
debut parties, veceptions, formal
dances and the rest. The bureau has
cut short a lot of these delightful
careers, S
. 0 ® i
An official bachelor list has
been prepared by the bureau. And
it is a dwindling list. When a man
lingers too long around the punch
bowl, his names comes off. If he
monopolizes the slickest chick and
ignores the rest of the gals, he’s
off. Times are getting ,tough for
the unattached males and they
don’t like it.
Another innovation of Mrs.
Shaw’s bureau ‘is the theory that
enough standing and sitting room
is just as important as enough
liquor andsfood at parties. It has
been the practice, Mrs. Shaw says,
to try to cram 1,500 people in a
room capable of holding only 600.
Either a hostess is willing to ge
along with Mrs. Shaw’s views on
this important point or the hostess
does her own hostessing.
The bureau’s specialty is are
ranging parties to be given per
sons who only get to Washington
occasionally. A senator or impor
tant government official has to be
entertained by an out-of-towner
in a manner .to which he has be
come accustomed. Yet the visitor
