SOUTH TEMPLE AVE. is the “sewingest” spot we evér saw. When we dropped in the other day we found every other housewife either sewing, getting ready to sew, or just finishing some sewing, . . ,

We strongly suspected that several housewives who

weren't at home were down town buying more needles and -threads. . . . Walking" along the 400 block we stopped to chat with Mrs. Ben J. DeLuca, of 410, who was—you guessed it—sewing. Between putting stitches in the hem of a new blue dress, Mrs. Deluca was %Xeepimg a watchful eye on her four children, Saw. Remjamin, Josephine and Anthony. The two older boys, Sam and Ben, have bicycles, and Mrs. DeLuca worries about them when they get out of sight. Sam's been pretty careful lately, since Mrs.

DeLuca clipped a picture of a wrecked bicycle (the |

boy riding it was killed) out of The Times. and put it up in his bedroom as a safety reminder. . . . Ben, who's only 7, is still a little leery. of his bike, He lets it set and rides Barbara Frantz's tricycle, with 4-year-old Barbara standing on the back. Barbara's mother, Mrs. W. S. Frantz, of 411, also was sewing when we dropped in. She's a dressmaker when she's not busy keeping house ‘and taking care of her tow-headed daughter.

Collect Salt, Pepper Shakers

MRS. WALLACE GARNIER, of 415, is a woman of many hobbies. The one she likes best, however, is sewing a fine seam or crocheting. She makes all her own clothes and crocheted a big lace table cloth which enhances the dining room table. . . . Another hobby is collecting salt and pepper shakers. She has 200 sets, most of which she keeps in a large bookcase. ‘Both Mr, and Mrs. Garnier are motorcycling en-. thusiasts. When he’s not conducting on the Pennsylvania railroad, Mr. Garnier is usually conducting & motorcycle outing. . . . There's been a streak of bad fortune at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Henry White, 418. Both. children have the whooping cough and Mrs. White sprained her ankle. The Rev. Mr. White, who's pastor of Woodside Methodist church, which adjoins his home, is at River Vale youth camp this week, acting as district youth director for Indianapolis. The Rev.

He Got the Job

ELECTRA LAKE Colo, Aug. 8—When the lake freezes over and the trout gather under the rocks to chew the rag on long, dark evenings, the old fish probably tell the young ones about that wonderful winter 17 years ago. That was the winter F. W. Koehler, caretaker for the Electra Lake Sporting club, made regular rounds

.on his sled, pulled by his smart German shepherd,

Judy, chopping holes in the ice and feeding the fish. It was an unusual and grand program for the trout, but it was a tough one for Mr. Koehler. This Jake, three and one-half miles long, is at an altitude of 8385 feet, and it gets awfully cold. But he proposed the job for himself and had to go through with ft even though it almost cost him both his ears. The Electra Sporting club is limited to 100 members. Most of them are prominent Durango business and professional men, and this is their summer resort. They own the fishing privileges and have cottages around the lake, “When I came 17 years ago, this was just a summer job,” Mr. Koehler said. “As fall came on, I began to wonder what I was going to do. Jobs were scarce in those days. So I decided I'd try for a year-round Job. “I told the club officials the fish ought to be fed through the winter if they wanted to have good fishing the following year.”

Finds He Overdid Things

MR. KOEHLER got the job—and then discovered that he had overdone it. Club officials shopped around and found a bargain—three tons of culled pinto beans and a great pile of smelly meat scraps. All winter Mr. Koehler had.to cook beans and scraps. -When he finished a batch of the mess he and Judy had to get the sled and make the frigid trip around the lake, dumping in the food. He had to cook the beans in a pressure cooker because an open boiler is pretty inadequate at this altitude, Judy died several years ago, and Mr. Koehler has never ceased to miss her. He believes she was the smartest dog he ever saw. She did things without being taught. One day when Mr. Koehler returned home after a short absence, Judy, greatly agitated, led him to the barn and to a place where some sacks were hanging.

Aviation

(First of Two Articles)

NEW YORK, Aug. 8—Airline passenger and lugnes bottlenecks are proving a pain in the neck to th passengers and airline officials. But, before ¢ondemning anyorie in particular, let's take a look pt the record. What is true of the airlines, during this hectic

post-war period of reconversion, also is true of rail-

poads, bus lines, stores, butcher. shops and about every other branch of business dealing with the publio en masse. And .the airlines business still is in she pioneering stage. ’ It is true that: ONE: Present-day airline terminals cannot begin to handle today’s air traffic. TWO: Present-day airports cannot begin to handle the number and types of passenger planes mow becoming available. THREE: Present methods of ‘handling ‘airline Juggage are antiquated, handlers are slow and untrained and much luggage is missent to wrong destinations and some of it damaged through rough handling. :

FOUR: In many cases reservations clerks still

| are handling the public as they did during the high

priority days. FIVE: Delays in boarding planes and departing from airports by bus, due to the above conditions, bring some short trips up to railroad time. SIX: Air terminal facilities, such as proper rest rooms, cleanliness and comfort, are totally inadequate excepting in a few large cities. SEVEN: Introduction of big four-engined planes such as Douglas DC-4s, more than doubling the peat capacity, has almost doubled time on the ground because of poor baggage handling and seating checkups. Forty minutes delay in unloading passengers and baggage, checking them into airbuses and getting under way has been reported many times.

My Day

HYDE PARK, Wednesday—There is something very interesting in reading about the meeting, in Cambridge, England, of representatives of the World Council of Churches. In one account that I read, Dr. Walter W. VanKirk of New York said that he found considerable pessimism among the delegates as to the value of the United Nations. He said that the imperfections in that organization were “derived from the paganism of secular society, and that results from the failure of the churches around this table in bringing Christian influence into secular society.” I think many of us would agree that, if we are to have peace, there must be a rise in spiritual leadership. In fagt, I think many of us feel that there can be no permanent settlement of the problems that face us nationally and internationally without ar>real spiritual awakening in the world as a whole.

Judy whined and barked. Mr. Koehler thought somnie kind of varmint had invaded the premises, and that Judy had chased him up into the sacks.

Mr. Koehler has another dog now—a beautiful, eight-year-old Irish setter named Flipper. He's a good pheasant dog. { “But Flipper isn't as smart as Judy. He's just a clown.”

Flipper Is a Little Lazy

AND HE'S lazy. He lies in the sunshine with his! paws folded on his chest. When he hears a noise or some unusual disturbance, such as the wheezing of an outboard motor, he lifts his head, takes a look, and goes back to sleep. The only time he shows any pep is when Mr. Koehler says, “Birds, Flipper! Let's find the birds.” : Then he hops up and dashes off like that famous horseman—in all directions. Electra Lake was created By damming Elbert creek. It is about 85 feet deep in the artificial part. There are some places in the main channel, however, that “have no bottom.” They are old craters. Weights have been lowered to a depth of 600 feet without touching bottom.

That day was one of supreme interest to the women of the state. One writer described the occasion as “a patriotic hour of intense devotion to memory.” During the cefemony in the capitol rotunda, in which Mr, Owen's great-great-grandson lifted the flag that veiled the bust, Indiana women repaid in part the work done by the great statesman on their behalf, 2 & # MRS. S. E. PERKINS, who presided at the dedication, told of the efforts of the women of Indiana in collecting the $2000 that made possible the monument.

Right now the lake is the lowest”it has been in years, due to the unusually light snowfall last winter. You see some queer sights—boat houses high and dry. A pipeline runs from the lake to the power house down below it. It goes over a cliff and makes an almost perpendicular fall of 1700 feet. “That pipe is three feet wide at the top and only six inches wide at the nozzle where it connects with the turbine,” Mr. Koehler says. .“You can imagine the force of the water.” Fishermen on the lake are having fust fair luck this season. They use artificial flies, grasshoppers, minnows, salmon eggs, and—Mr. Koehler blushes to admit it—even worms. Worms are used on the sly. They are the best bait there is, but, of course, gentlemen never use them. At least they never admit it.

In all fairness, let's take a look at the airlines’ side of the problem. J

Heavy Increase in Travel

PRIOR TO THE WAR; in the first four months of 19040, the nation’s airlines flew 261,088,530 revenue passenger miles. (That means that they flew the equivalent of that many passengers one mile each.) But during the first four months of this year—1946— the airlines flew 1,531,784,115 revenue passenger miles. Number of passengers flown in the first four months of 1946 were 3,060,272 as against only 647,861 during the first four months of 1940, and more than the entire year of 1940 when the total was 2,959,480. The airlines went to war—in a big way—depleted

their registered nurse hostess setup to supply nurses

to the services, had to break in green, untrained reservations clerks, luggage handlers and other employees all along the line. Ajr power, playing a major part in winning the war, suddenly had sold itself to tens of thousands who ‘would “have no part of flying before the war began. The aircraft industry was compelled to reconvert from a wartime to peacetime basis, just as was the auto and other indiioies, delivery of new-type, faster and larger passender planes developed slowly. Cities, throughout the nation, prior to war and thinking of taxpayer-voters, constructed totally inadequate airports both from the standpoint of tooshort runways and passenger handling facilities. Delivery of scores of reconverted four-engined passenger planes to help solve the traffic problem found air terminals unable to cope with the suddenly increased traffic. They also increased greatly the load on reservations desks and baggage crews.

Airline business had increased more than five :

times its pre-war size.

NEXT: What are the airlines doing about it? i

By ‘Eleanor Roosevelt

Christ's power over men was that of an individual who had great spiritual force. He could inspire those around him to have the courage to preach and live by a doctrine which was based on unselfishness and the love of- humanity, That power has been a moving force down through the ages. But even in so-called Christian countries, it has never quite come into its own and actually been the mainspring in the lives of the majority of people. It will not amount to much unless it affects the individuals in every community.

Want No Pressure Group

THE CHURCHES cannot become just another pressure group. In a country like ours, where church and state are pretty carefully. separated, great emphasis will have to be laid on the fundamental principles from which action springs, rather than on the specific actions undertaken by groups of individuals. The churches will have to take a stand against unthinking and un-Christian prejudices, They will have to develop among the people a greater sense of responsibility for the conditions existing in society. And above all, they will have to watch the sense of

The plane crashed yesterday afternoon, and army and navy aircraft began an immediate search for possible survivors. Darkness called a halt to the search.

~Labor Management = | Says Truman

Is Inconsistent

By FRED W. PERKINS Scripps-Howard Staft Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-—Presi-

dent Truman drew a charge of ine consistency today from manage~

ment - spokesmen because he approved a national wage stabiliza~ tion board order. r The order takes a big step toward recognition of a foremen's union in the coal-mining industry. It was the first time that Mr. Truman has had to take a stand in one of the most controversial current issues between labor unions and management in all big industries. : It placed him on record as favoring a policy that has been fought over for years in congress and the national labor relations board, and still is unsettled. The charge of inconsistency Is based on the fact that when the President recently vetoed the tidelands oil bill he sent it back to congress with the statement that the question of whether the states

| Shakes Little Man's Faith

By RUTH MILLETT THE FAR-FROM-PRETTY facts being dug up and aired in the senate war investigating committee's study of the Garsson munitions combine dre making a lot of people look with a cynical, jaundiced eye on the whole war effort. So that’s what was going on while the little fellow was fighting a war and his family back home was try ing to keep faith,” they're saying. The. things that are coming .to light aren't pleasant, and the MayGarsson case is probably just a beginning.

» ” ” BUT LET'S not forget three important facts. If we remember these, nothing the senate committee brings to light will make cynics of us: ik The first is that in any venture which involves as many persons and as much money as did the war-effort there is bound to be some crooked dealing. Patriotism isn't a virtue equally shared by all -not even in a democracy. In the armed services we had out heroes and our deserters, and it is only to be expected that the same was true on the home-front, in industry and in government.
