Mrs. Detwiler Heads
War On Inflation
In Washington District
Mrs. Donald J. Detwiler of Wash
ington, D. C., was appointed this
week by the .Washington commis
sioners to be chairman of the Dis
trict OPS volunteer committee to
organize a rebellion of District
housewives against inflation. Her
picture appeared in the Times-
Herald of Washington as she re
viewed some of her duties to her
son and daughter, Donald and
Mary Lucretia.
Mrs. Detwiler is a former resi
dent of this city, daughter of the
late Hazel L. Scaife, and Mrs.
Scaife who lives in Washington,
who made their home here until
moving to Washington a number
of years ago. Her mother before
marriage was Miss Eliza McCaslan,
daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs.
W. M. McCaslan, and a sister of
Mrs. W. B. Owens,- Sr., of this
city. The family has other relatives
here also.
In the article Mrs. Detwiler de
scribed herself as a typical, mid
dle-aged, middle-class housewife.”
Her husband is a Navy electronics
engineer. In planning for the or
ganization w'ork Mrs. Detwiler said
the city organization will include
not only housewives but all iseg-
ments of the community. She ! said
inflation in meat prices in Wash
ington have made it necessary for
her and thousands of other house
wives, to serve hamburger, hot
1 dogs, stew and fish.
