Boys and girls who dance together

the District much concern. according
to Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter, president

tion of mothers who expressed their
fear OF this attitude at dances and

bile rides following the dances. Mrs
Rafter said that concrete cases were
given Of girls getting into trouble

more serious charges than do boys,

understand girls as men do boys.

the Juvenile Court ON charges OF
stealing, and the other SO per cent
can be traced to unhappy and broken
up homes" she declared. &.

move as could be conceived of. But
the spontaneous enthusiasm of the
members of the party here tonight
and the splendid reception given to

it will rally every member of the
party enthusiastically behind that
policy"
Comrade Foster said that the minds
of the workers were open during cleo
ton time, that it was much easier to
get their attention than at other
times. The campaign would serve
the purpose of bringing the Commun
list message to great masses of work
ers thruout the nation and also serve
as means of strengthening the party
organizationally. He pleaded for q
great effort to increase the party
membership, as it is Of greater i'm
portance to increase our membership
than roll up large number of votes
'The only way for the workers
