Wives of members of the Gridiron Club which sponsors the affair, got together and within the last few years have held a party of similar nature at the White House for Mrs. Roosevelt, with members of the Gridiron Widows putting on a skit to poke fun at wives of leading figures on a 'Rancho 40' skit, with Mrs. Raymond Clapper, wife of Columnist Clapper, cracking the whip as Ringmaster. 1- A couple of dark horses - and Mrs. Farley by proxy.

Air raid protection--what NOT to do when alarm sounds. DON'T look out the windows. Johnnie doesn't mean to be a fifth columnist, but in looking out and attempting to see the planes he's flashing a swell signal just the same; in addition this is a dangerous place for him to be because of flying glass splinters which might well result from the concussion caused by a bomb falling nearby.
