Clubs Asked Is Operated Like a Club A little relaxation at the John Dickson home. By JESSIE FANT EVANS. Neither an institution nor a hos- pital, but a memorial home on the club-group plan, the John Dickson Home of this city is the delightful, handsomely furnished residence of a group of elderly gentlemen who participate in its benevolences. Situated on four wooded acres which comprise a city block of a prosperous residential section at 5000 Fourteenth street, it vies with many of Washington’s wealthy country clubs in its comforts and conven- iences. Yet it is not isolated nor renote, but adjacent to the pulsing life of the Nation's Capital and near enough to our city’s transportation systems to make it readily available to those who go and come from its hospitable midst. Unlike most men’s clubs, it is set apart by the fact that it is ade- quately endowed, and those who par- ticipate in the benefits of its mem- bership pay no dues. Model in Estate Planning. This unusual arrangement, which is considered a model in estate plan- ning by national welfare agencies, has been made possible by the phil- anthropy of Henry Dickson, son of John Dickson of County Down, Ire- land, who began his business career in Georgetown as an apprentice to William King. With Mr. King’s son William, the son Henry established a wood and coal business and pros- pered. The bulk of his own and his father’s fortune he left in trust to establish this memoria: to his father, for many years a resident of Wash- ington and greatly interested in its welfare. He was a bachelor. The John Dicksor Home was opened to its first members on Janu- ary 1, 1913, after a gala house- warming the afternoon before which was attended by many of Washing- ton’s prominent citizens. John Joy Edson was the first | president of its Board of Trustees, a position he held until his own death. To Mr. Edson’s tremendous personal interest in the home, evi- denced by his bi-weekly visits, is due the elimination of every pos- sible feature which might make it seem institutional in nature. The second president was Gen. John A. Johnston, who made the home a generous bequest. H. G. Meem Present President. Harry G. Meem, president of the Washington Loan & Trust Co., is its present president and Arthur Peter of this same company, is its vice president. The Board of Trustees consists of Mr. Meem, Mr. Peter, Theodore W._ Noyes, Charles Doing, William H. Baden, Floyd E. Davis and Wal- ter S. Pratt, jr. In line with Mr. Edson’s idea, “It takes a woman to make a home for any man,” the superintendent of the John Dickson Home has always been a woman. Miss Mary B. Heaton, who has since retired, was the first superintendent. She has been succeeded by Miss Lil- lian M. Hamilton, who was Miss Heaton’s first assistant in its man- agement, as well as a graduate nurse. Jolly, as well as capable, her interest is everywhere apparent, whether it be required as referee in a sharply contested game of bil- liards, or to settle a mooted point in the carpentry shop, where a bird house of unique design and propor- tions is being evolved by one of the guests. Envoy Enjoyed Grounds. Beautifully landscaped, ,the grounds about the John Dickson Home are considered as beautiful as those of any private estate in this vicinity. In the center of one of its grassy ovals, is the bird bath presented by former Ambassador Jusserand and his wife in tribute to their enjoyment of this spot as the goal of one of their favorite walks about Washington. English Colonial in type, the building is two stories, with stair- ways that are easy to climb and rooms on the main floor for those to whom. ascending stairs would be an_effort. Each room is so located that sun- shine floods it every morning and afternoon. In addition, there is a special sunroom equipped with easy chairs, and there are double-decker porches to the east, north and south. Each guest has his own bedroom, adjacent to bath facilities. A smok- ing room and & general recreational room equipped with a piano player, a radio, and phonograph, provide variety of interest, as does a bil- liard room, a carpenter shop and a library equipped with current news- papers and magazines as well as a fascinating and up-to-date collec- tion of mystery stories. The seating in the cheerful, com- modious dining room is at tables of six or eight, the china even being varied from meal to meal, as it might be in a home. " Included among the present guests are a former lawyer, a physician and & dentist. After admission, clothes, as well as a small fund of spending.money, are provided for each guest. ship contest, since 1932, The team will be composed of L. Martin Young, Allen J. Duvall, Ambrose A.

Each member of the John Dickson Home carries a card of introduction which says he is its guest. The regulations for admission are simple. They provide that appli- cants shall be at least 65 years old and must have been bona fide resi- dents of the District of Columbia for five years preceding the date of application for admission, and either native or naturalized citizens of the United States It is further required that in their sustaining members of society, con- tributing to the business or general prosperity of their community and to the proper maintenance and sup- port of those dependent upon them. Each case is considered solely upon its own merits by the board of man- agement. While admission is free, character and temperament are closely studied, since members are | expected to do all they can to make |life pleasant for each other, with especial consideration on the part | of the stronger for the less robust.

Dr. James 8. Ruby, national sec- retary, set the organization meeting in connection with the university's 141st annual commencement, the week end of June 8-10, because of the special alumni activities being planned at that time. The dele- gates will be asked to draft a new constitution and form a provisional governing body, he said, until a na- tional election by ballot can be held. The plan is in furtherance of the desire of the Very Rev. Arthur A. O'Leary, S. J., president of the uni- versity. The natlonal association has been functioning under a con- stitution adopted in 1881. In recent years alumni have been organized into local clubs in many cities, a monthly bulletin has been issued and renewed effort has been made to build up the organization. Hogan Helped Organization. Frank J. Hogan, law '02, of Wash- ington took over active leadership of the organization several years ago and was especially helpful in con- nection with alumni activities dur- ing last year's sesquicentennial cele- bration. The university has rec- ords of some 15,000 alumni who are in every State, most of the terri- torial possessions and some in for- eign countries. Balloting, for that reason, will require a long period. The fifth annual extension course for alumni of the medical school will be held during the commence- ment. Dr. Leon A. Martel is in charge of the arrangements for the two-day sessions, starting June 7. Because of the expected large at- tendance at the commencement pro- gram the annual Georgetown “G” dinner has been postponed until the evening of June 8. It will be com- bined with the usual alumni dinner. Georgetown college students will join in the third amnual national Catholic peace day program on May 1 and Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney of Wyoming, graduate of the law school, has been invited to address a student convocation at 11 am. in Gaston Hall. The program is being planned as a counter-demonstration against the usual Communist May day activities. Peace Day Services Planned. Religious exercises are being planned in connection with peace day, and a student rally under the auspices of the Georgetown Sodal- ity will be held on the campus in the late afternoon. Burke E. Schoensee will be chairman and Dexter L. Hanley of the senior class will be the principal speaker. will talk on “A Just Peace.” Arrangements are being made to secure the co-operation of the vari- ous school sodalities in Washington. The Catholic Student Peace Federa- tion is sponsoring meetings in connection with sodalities throughout the country on May 1. The Rev. Stephen J. McNamee, 8. J., senijor student counsellor at George- town, is the faculty moderator for the Hilltop celebration. ‘The annual sophomore-freshman tea dance will be given at the Carl- ton Hotel the afternoon of May 3, two weeks prior to the senior dance. Meanwhile the freshmen are plan- ning their own individual tea dance for Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m. at Hotel 2400 Sixteenth Street N.W. Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, S. J., re- gent of the foreign service school, will conclude his public lecture se- ries dcaling with “American Diplo- macy in Peace and War” Friday evening.

The money which will be collected, it was- hoped, would be gifts from the children themselves, thereby serving to bring a greater realization to them of the need for extending a helping hand to the children of other lands. However, since regulations prohibit such col- lection in Washington, I sincerely hope that both parents and teachers will make an extra effort to ac- quaint children with the reason and the need for the crusade, thereby accomplishing at least in part the purpose for which it is being made.
