Athens Civilian l
Defense Program.
" By COL. F. W. WHITNEY
Athens Civil Defense Director
Rorty years ago, Communism
was just a plot in the minds of a
very few peculiar people. Today
Communism is a world force gov
erning millions of the human race
and threatening to govern all of it
What is Communism? A system
by which one small group seeks
to rule the world.
Has any nation ever gone Com
munist in a free election. No.
How do Communists try to get
control? Legally or illegally, any
way they can.
Their first big victory was
through bloody revolution. Every
one since has been by military
conquest, by internal corruption
of the threat of these.
What would happen if Com
munisum should come into power
in this country? Our capitol would
move from Washington to Mos
cow. Every man, woman and child
would come under Communist di=
scipline.
Could you belong to a union?
Under Communism, all labor un
iong are run by the Government
and the Communists run the
Government. Unions couldn’t help
you get higher pay, shorter hours
or better working conditions. They
Seatile Is Jammed With Incoming
Kiwanians For Anunal Convention
SEATTLE, Wash., June 15 —
Harried railroad, steamship, air
lina @nd bus officials were work
ing overtime today as more tha\
10,000 business and professional
leaders were arriving in this city
for the 37th annual convention of
Kiwanis International which opens
today, Among the first of the many
gpecial trains arriving Sunday
morning was the always colorful
Texas=-Qakahoma delegation wear
ing ten gallon hats and other
Weslern regalia. They were closely
followed by other special trains
from throughout the continent. A
total of 17 special trains, many
gpecial cars, chartered busses and
planes brought delegates from as
far North as the Yukon Territody
and as far East as the Hawaiian
Islands. .
§ Day. Session
As this city became the capital
of Kiwanis -International for the
next five days representatives of
its 3,50 C elubs and 211,000 mem
bers prepared to settle down to
an intensive five days of sessions
devoted to local, national and in
ternational issues. The organiza
tion has long supported strong
defenses and has strongly opposed
issues wnav .. ~ongiders to be of a
socialistic nature. Among the items
expected to come before the house
of delegatés is a constitutional
amendment on treaty law. These
and many other such issues are
expected to be consgdered in stron
gly-worded resolutions, which be
come a part of the organization’s
working program,
Claude B. Hellmann, president
of Kiwanis International, from
Baltimore, Maryland sounded the
keynote of the convention upon
his arrival in Seattle when he said,
“The theme of our convention is
‘Liberty-Let’s Keep It!’ It is fitting
that we should use this theme now,
more than ever before, because
we Americans are letting our free
dom slip away through apathy
and failure to assume civic re
sponsibility.”
Continuing the discussion, he
said, “Americans, Canadians and
the free nations have got to fight
socialism and eommunism should
er to shoulder or the entire world
is doomed to slavery.” He voiced
optimism, however, by . pointing
out that he had seen signs of

Nation's Motels Will Accommodate
Summer Tourists In Plush Cabins
By DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON — (NEA) —
More U. S. motorists will spend
more nights in more motel rooms
this Summer than ever before.
And they're going to enjoy
their roadside rest and relaxation
ore than ever, too, according to
the U. S. Rating Bureau.
In the past few years the coun
try’s highway haciendas . have
been getting plushier and plush
ier, putting the small town hotels
in the flop-house cteagory, by
comparison. ‘
This Summer American tourists
will find more and more motels
with swimming pools, restaurants
and air conditioning as part of the
overnight comforts. Practically
all of them provide free ice for
the thirsty guests. Many have
adopted the practice of giving free
coffee or tea in the morning, or
even a continental brakfast
which consists of a heated sweet
roll, butter ::nd. cc‘)'ffee.
Approximately 45,000 to,urist]
courts in the country will be open
for business this Summer. Cali
fornia has the most with 7500.
The U. S. Rating Bureau which
provides this good news for tour
ists has just been founded by
Howard Bonham, a former hotel
man and also a former national
American Red Cross official. He
got the idea for the organization
traveling to and from so many
disasters for the Red Cross. His
bureau is a non-governmehtal
enterprise.
It's Bonham'’s plan to inspect
motels around the country, rate
them, and if they have a score of
80 or better, give them a giant
blue and white flag. His other
services include a poll of cus
tomers. Rating cards are left in
each room.
He is going to limit his “Merit
Award” to 50 motels this Summer,
and 200 next Summer.
In the rating of motels first
consideration is given to cleanli
ness. Next most important factor
is saftey. That includes such
things as good lecks. firefroof
construction, safe heating facili
ties and those intangible factors
which might make a motel per
fectly safe for a single woman to
stay in ovemight‘, fc:r instance.
-
Other factors in rating a motel
are comfort, sourtesy, privacy,
atmosphere and parking facilities.
In spite of the increased com
forts and conveniences being built
into motels, Bonham dosen’t think
that rates will be up much this
Summer. Among the courts with
his Bureau’s blessing the average
price p’ night is $4 to $5 single,
and $5 to $7 double.
The most expensive motel room,
he says, is the S2B-per-night pent
house ot the Western Hills in
Fort Worth, Texas. Several peo
ple can stay. in it and it has a
kitchen and bar. That motel also
has a swimming pool, golf course
and fancy restauiant.

azine, says tourist court owners
all over the country have been
preparing for the Summer boom

vealed that 38 per cent of the
motels had added 7.8 lodging

that last year there were 565,-

and that the figure this year is ex
pected to reach 600,000,000.
The estimate that a record num
ber to tourists will be on the road
this Summer is based on ad
vance reservations at motels and
resorts, an anticpated record
number of visitors to the national
parks, a general increase of the
number of cars on the road and
a continued high level of pros
perity and employment in the
country.

Sales Increase
Retail sales in Georgia during
May, according te a preliminary
estimate of the University’'s Bu
reau of Business Reseaysh in Ath

in May 1951, several points above
the trend that seems generally es
timated for the nation. An increase
of 7 per cent from April was
shown by cooperating firms whese
reports reached the Bureau by
June 10.
The- furniture-household-radio
group led in stepped-up sales, fol
lowed at some distance by the
general merchandise and automo
tive group. The food and apparel
stores were close to the state ave

Augusta moved back into the
top place lost in April to Valdosta
as the city having the biggest in

Augusta’s early reporters were
fairly representative of all kinds
of business, whereas some from
Valdosta firms in groups that were
the heaviest gainers had not been
received. Albany and Macon also
reported better-than-average - in

Mrs. Arthur McArthur Has No
Time Off — Sunday Busiest Of All
WASHINGTON—There - are no
@ays off in the.life of Mrs, Arthur
MacArthur. Sundays she works
harder than ever, ;
For the past 15 years Mrs. Mac-
Arthur, sister-in-law of Gen.
Douglas MacArthur has not
missed a Sabbath volunteering her
services at the Soldiers, Sailors,
Marines and Airmen’s Club for
enlisted men in downtown Wash
ington. The club, a non-profit ho
tel, is the only one of its kind in
the world, Mrs. MacArthur told
me. It is maintained and operat
ed by the Woman’s Army and Na
vy League — wives, mothers,
daughters and sisters of com
missioned officers of all branches
of the Armed Forces—and has
bgen in continuous existence since
1899.
Mrs. MacArthur’s husband was
the late Capt. MacArthur, U.S.N.
She .inherited a life membership
in the letague in 1917 from her
mother, who, as the wife of the
late Adm, Bowman McCalla, was
one of its founders.
An early riser, Mrs. MacArthur
is “on deck” at the home-like
clubhouse at 7 a. m. Sundays and
was manning the cashier’s desk
when I talked with her. Her eager
assistants are teen-age “Jangoes,”
members of the Junior Army Navy
Guild Organization, which Mrs.
MacArthur helped to set up 10
years ago.
" During World War II the club
buildings were redecorated and
enlarged to take care of the 5,000
or more men who came there
every month. In the peak war year
of 1943 more than 45,000 paying

the club, where they get home
cooked meals, can read books
from the well-stocked library,
write letters, play pool or just re
lax, During the winter the Army,
Navy, Marine and Air Force bands
play at club dances. Service
daughters volunteer as partners.
They also serve as waitresses.
“It's awfully worthwhile,” Mrs.
Mag Arthur told me, “On Surdays
we usually take care of as many
as 150 to 200 boys, and we're al
ways getting wonderful letters
from them from far corners of the
world after they leave.”
In addition to her work at the
club, Mrs. MacArthur, a slender,
sweet-faced lady of great charm,
has served as a Grey Lady at
Bethesda Naval Hospital every
Monday for the past 22 years.
She is also on the board of the
House of Mercy here, : .
“1 love my work even though
it leaves me little time for any
thifig else,” she said, “but in any
free time I have I have lot of fun
too, getting in a game of sols or
playing bridge with my friends.”
Mrs. . MacArthur lives at the
Chevy Chase club and gets about
to her various posts by automo
bile. “I couldr’'t live without my
car,” she said.
