Herzog serves both as a Red Cross Nurse's Aide at Columbia Hospital and as- an interviewer at the Nurse’s Aide Recruiting Office at the Walsh House. Pour days a week she interviews pro spective Nurse’s Aides and two days a week she works at the hospital. Her training course was right here in Washington. A native of California, Mrs. Herzog attended the Anna Head School in Berkeley and the Uni versity of California. She later went to the School of Modern Photography in New York be cause photography has always been one of her hobbles. The other is raising cocker spaniels, and she and her husband are the owners of the famous Alderbrook Kennels. In fact her husband shares both hobbies with her, for he, too, loves amateur photog raphy. After Mrs. Herzog studied the technical end of photography she gave her husband some pointers and now both do their own printing and developing as well as actually taking the pic tures. Before the war brought them to Waslpngton (Col. Herzog is a lieutenant colonel in the Army Air Force and is now stationed here) the Herzogs made their home in New York and owned a farm in Springfield, Mass. They have a small daughter aged 10 who goes to Potomac School here and the whole family loves Washington so much that they want always to live here. They’ve sold the farm in Massachusetts and they hope someday to own a house here, Mrs. Herzog says. "Do you still need a lot of Nurse's Aides?” we asked Mrs. Herzog. ‘‘Indeed, yes!” she answered. ‘‘For the day classes we need | many, many more, especially for Gallinger and Providence Hos pitals. There’s a new class start ing on March Y7, and do you know,” Mrs. Herzog asked, ‘‘that the Red Cross Motor Corps sees to it that aides are taken from the Walsh House to Gallinger Hospital and returned every day of the week? So there can’t be any transportation problem for that particular hospital.” If you’re interested in being a Nurse’s Aide and filling one of the most vital roles that a koman can play in th* war effort go to the Walsh House on Massachu MISS WAITT. —Woltz-Haig Studios.

Argentine Urges Nonco-operation With Regime Co-operation with Argentina’s present regime is merely playing into the hands of totalitarianism, Dr. David Efrom of Argentina de clared yesterday before members of the Washington Club. Born in Buenos Aires and edu acted in that city, Paris and Berlin, Dr. Efrom has for several years been professor of social psychology and of Latin American culture in the United States. At present he is Latin American consultant to the National Planning Association, Washington, and has recently re turned from Argentina, where he spent five months on a field trip for the association. Dr. Efrom asserted that while the regime realizes the power of the Axis is broken, it intends to preserve a nucleus of fascism In the Western Hemisphere to enable a revival of these political policies later. He said he believed the best method this country can use to combat sub versive elements in Argentina is to lend moral support and approval to elements in Argentina actively op posed to Nazi methods. He described the groups antago nistic to the Nazi system as includ ing students, intellectual leaders, labor and ecclesiastical groups. In spite of threats, a large proportion of the Argentine press has “dared to be vigorously pro-United Nations,” he declared. The church is somewhat divid ed, he added. But the far-seeing and liberty-loving Catholic leaders oppose the regime, he said. Quoting the Bishop of Temnoe, Msgr. Miguel de Andrea, he said. “In defending freedom throughout the world the church will be de fending its own freedom.” Dr. Efrem said that women’s groups also have been active in opposing the present government. He cited the "Junta de la Victoria,” a women’s organization with a mem bership of 50,000, representing all stratas of the social community, as actively awaiting a chance to strike. This group represents a different picture of South American women than that frequently accepted, he added. The organization was dis banded by the police on the pre text that it formed a “front” for gambling. In reality, the speaker conclud ed, the members had been pro ducing quantities of knitted goods for the United Nations, of which 300,000 pesos worth of scarves, sweaters and socks were confiscated. The speaker was introduced by Mrs. Cloyd Heck Marvin. Auxiliary to Meet The Ladies’ Auxiliary, Prince Georges County Volunteer Fire men’s Association, will meet at 8:30 P-m. tomorrow at Branchville.

Canadian Zionist Addresses ORT How thousands of young Jewish refugees in various parts of the world have been trained in useful trades in schools established by ORT was described by Louis Fitch, president of the Canadian ORT Committee and former member of the Canadian Parliament, at the annual luncheon meeting of the Washington Chapter, Women’s American ORT, yesterday. Coming from Montreal to attend the affair at the Mayflower Hotel, the speaker appealed for greater effort on the part of Jews enjoying the freedom of democratic countries to assist unfortunate Jews in other parts of the world . He told how ORT had established schools for homeless young Jews in prison camps to enable the mto sup port themselves by a knowledge of trades and agriculture. "We must help these people to help themselves wherever they are.’* he declared. “We must disenfran chise them from charity and hopes. The road to humanity lies through humanity and the road to respect through respect,” he added. Mr. Fitch told of the first ORT school established outside of Mont real for German Jewish prisoners brought from England following the fall of France. Five hundred of these young men trained in the manufacture of tool dies and in tool repairs proved so valuable to the Canadian government that all of the prisoners were eventually re leased for training in additional schools established by ORT in col laboration with the government, he added. Trade schools to prepare Jewish refugees to support themselves have been established in Buenos Aires, Soa Paulo, Brazil; Santiago, Chile; Havana, and Switzerland, Mr. Fitch continued. “ORT goes to any part of the world where Jews are found.” he declared, “and Jews are found wherever there is trouble." Mr. Fitch shared honors on the program with Marquis Childs, news paperman and columnist, who spoke of recent visits to London, Sweden and South America. Mrs. Emmett H. Mark wood, the president, presided and introduced the speakers. Mrs. Milton Kellert,, vice president, announced that this year’s luncheon doubled the at tendance of the donor luncheon last year. t | C K * S B°™ Zl0J*m ST0RES 0PER ™URSDAY* UNTIL 9 PM. £Keductiond SAVE IN 2 WAYS!
