POLICE To START
VAGRANCY DRIVE
Idle Men In South Bend Must
Go to Work Or Face
Arrest.

a mayoralty directed police drive
against persons now in South Bend,
or against those who may from time
TO time come TO this city who are
not willing TO work. is to begin at
once. according to Mayor Carson
Friday morning.
The mayor believes that every
able-bodied man should be produc-
tive in some manner. And ne believes
further that no person can be pro-
ductive and remain idle at the
same time. tie has no patience with
the habitual vagrant, and it is
against this class of individual the
drive is 70 be directed.
orders have been issued to the
police department to round up every
person in the city who is without
employment without just cause.
That is persons who are not actual
physical inability TO labor, and who
SIMPLY do not want to work.
This is a time when everyone
should be productive" said the
mayor Friday morning in speaking
Of the proposed drive against the
undesirable citizens.
There is no real reason why a
man who actually wants to work
and is able TO work cannot find en-
ployment," he continued 1--WE do
not want the habitual vagrant in
South Bend. and we are not going
to have i'm this city that kind of an
individual, if the police department
is able to find him." concluded the
mayor.
No let-up in the drive against the
vagrant is to be made until every
one in the city is either at work or
has gone somewhere else. South
Bend is TO be made particularly un-
healthful for them, whether they
are simply new corners or whether
they have lived here for many years.
They must either go to work and
produce something or they must pay
the penalty of prosecution under the
vagrancy act, which means that they
can be sent to the penal farm for
lengthy term.

PARKING
ZONE PLANNED
City Planning Commission
Meets Merchants to Dis
CuSS Problem.

An automobile non-parkins zone
was proposed at the meeting of the
city planning commission Friday
afternoon at 4 o'clock when down
town merchants met with the COM
mission to protest against jitney
tus and other cars parking in the
center of the city.
Ernest Young. local architect, who
IS a member of the commission. sub
mitted a plan for a zone which
would prohibit machine owners
from parking their cars on W.
Washington av. between Michigan
and Main SITS, and TO the first alley
south Of Washington av on $.
Michigan st. and the first alley
north of Washington av. on ~
Michigan St. and on Lincoln way T.
between +. Washington av. and the
first alley east on Lincoln way.
John c. Ellsworth. proprietor Of
the Ellsworth store on n Michigan
ST. told the commission and the 25
business men present, of the parking
ordinances in effect in eastern cities
which provide for parking zones
outside of the center of the business
districts except Where there are civic
centers two or three city blocks in
width, i'm which case cars are parked
in the middle Of the street.
1t is probable that an ordinance
will be submitted to the common
council in the near future incor-
poratjng the plans formulated 10y
Mr.. Young. There was no definite
action taken at the meeting Friday
afternoon. 1t was called by the

TO GIVE LOVING CUP
FOR BEST PLAN TO
SELL THRIFT STAMPS

The Indiana city which doubles
the best city plan for promoting the
sale OF war savings and thrift
stamps will be recognized by the gift
of a loving cup to that city. This
cup will be the gift of State Di-
rector Joseph ID. oliver. This an
nouncement was made 10y the state
war savings committee today. What
will determine which is the best
plan will not necessarily be that
which sells the largest amount of
stamps according to Mr.. Oliver, but
will be determined upon the basis
of the number OF people in proper
ton to the population who are own
ers Of thrift and war savings stamps
hy June 1st. This will work for
equality among all cities whether
there happens to be a large amount
Of wealth in the city or not.
The decision 10 establish this
award ia the result of two or three
city plans which have been sub
mitted to the state committee.
Among those plans which are work
ing out excellently is that developed
by Postmaster John J. Nolan of
Evansville: that followed by Fort
Wayne; that now in use in Column
bia City. All three of these plans are
of distinct merit and yet are widely
different. 1t is believed that by es-
tablishing this award for the results
by June 1st the committee will be
a BILE TO have some dozen or so plans
which il may recommend TO those
cities which by that time are back
ward in their production.
