CLARENDON, Va, october 8.-Steps
looking to the establishment in Airing
ton County of schoolboy patrol, vested
with authority to direct traffic around
the % schools of the county, were taken
by the Clarendon Citizens Association
in monthly meeting in the Chamber
of Commerce headquarters here last
night.
A resolution offered by L. c. Nc
Nemar, requests the superintendent of
schools. Fletcher Kemp, to arrange for
the designation of number of qualified
boys at each school to serve in this
capacity.
The resolution favors the patrol
operating under the American Auto
mobile Association system of boy patrol.
1t was suggested that the county board
of supervisors had the power to give
members of the patrol authority to direct
traffic. Even though this could not be
managed, it was pointed out, the patrol
would be of invaluable benefit if it
only served to assist the small children
in crossing the highways in going to
and from school.
A committee consisting Of j. Thomas

L. c. McNemar was appointed by Presi-
