BALLOU WEIGHS
SCHOOL PLAN

DR.. Frank W. Ballou,' superin-
tendent of schools, today has un-
der consideration a school per-
sonnel retrenchment program,
recommended by the Washington
Teachers Union, which would
eliminate extra -curricular activi-
ties in the schools and make the
compulsory retirement age SO in
stead of the present 10.
Submitted by Miss Mary c,
Dent, president of the union, to
the Board of Education and re-
fered to Superintendent Ballou
for study. the program stresses
the fact that in view of the per-
sonnel slashes in the 1884 supply
bill, an extra heavy load will be
placed on the teachers.
In view of this fact, the union
recommends that the amount of
clerical work placed on the
shoulders of all teachers be re-
duced to a minimum when the
teaching load is increased.
The Board of Education was
informed that DR.. Abram Simon,
for several years a member of the
school board and many times
president, had asked the District
Supreme Court that his name
should not be considered for re-
appointment when his term ex-
pires June 80. He has been Sc
riously i'll for several months.

This ultimatum was delivered

non DO of Missouri, as the
House began consideration Of the
conference report on the 1884
District supply bill.
Expenses Cut rs Per Cent
Cannon, as chairman of the
House conferees, opened the dis.
cuSsion by explaining that the bill
was the first to come under the
economy program of the Admins
tration, and stressed the fact that
it not only reduced expenses Of
the local government more than
Is per cent but also balanced the
budget.
Cannon said that the current
appropriation bill carried funds
in excess of $41,000,00O, whereas
the present measure appropriates
slightly more than $3O,OQO,00O, or
a reduction of 26.8 per cent.
The Missouri Representative
also told the House that despite
the fact that the Federal contribu-
ton to the District government
was only $5,70O,000 that this sum
had not been reduced one dollar
when other reductions in the
budget were considered proper.
tionately.
Excess Funds Available
Commenting on the fact that
District residents might consider
the appropriation bill too low for
District needs, Cannon pointed
out that the bill as agreed to in
conference permitted the Com
missioners to take excess funds
from gasoline and water revenues
and eXpend them for any emer-
gency, including unemployment
relief.
In this connection, Cannon told
the House that the expenses of
running the District Government
had had "a more unprecedented
expansion" than that manifested
in any Government department,
bureau or agency.
After a 10-minute speech by
Representative Thomas L. Blan.
ton CD of Texas, one of the
House conferees, the House ap-
proved all features of the confer
ence report on which there had
been an agreement.
Says He Saved $3,3OO,OOO
Blanton in his speech declared
he had saved the taxpayers of
the District and the Federal Gov
ernment $3,300.OOO by killing the
1884 supply bill in the closing
days of the Seventy-second Con-
gress.
Immediately after the Texan
concluded, Representative Joseph

paid hi ma high compliment for
his interest in District affairs.
This was seconded by Cannon,
who explained that Blanton had
won a lone fight to give the
District Traffic Bureau $4,000

stead of $4,000 as the other con-
ferees desired.

FOUND! DRIVER
HAS GOOD WORD
FOR 'THUMBERS'
Dr.. Rice Finds Hitch Hiker
Rides EnjoyabIe-Not
Dangerous.

AT last a motoTist has been found
who has a good word to say for a
hitch-hiker.
The motorist is Or. Thurman g.
Rice Of the state health department
and Indiana university school Of
medicine
In the July issue Of the health
department bulletin. DR.. Rice re-
lates the rich experience he has had
BY hauling thumbers.
He closes with the advice 70 be
less afraid about picking up strang-
ers and enjoy this casual contact
with fellow beings more.
Tell Me I'm Crazy
All the wise guys. and the big
shots at the motor club. and the
cops and timid sisters tell me I am
a fool for picking up strangers on
the road and giving them lift oc-
casionally," DR. Rice comments.
They remind me Of the time
when a college student murdered
his benefactoT. and very recently
they cite the case OF n man who
was killed as his car left the road
while he was struggling with a
hitch-hiker who was attempting to
hold him up.
When one remembers. however.
that thousands Of rides are given
every day. that doesn't seem TO be
very high percentage.
Kept Him Awake
Having some one TO talk TO has
kept me from getting sleepy at the
wheel hundreds of times, and sleep
ing at the wheel is not a very
healthful occupation. If you are
asking me. l wonder how many
timid souls have gone to sleep and
run into the ditch because they
were afraid to have a little COM
pany?
In these times of stress there
are a great many people on the
roads asking for rides Some of
these fellow mortals are eating their
hearts out looking for work, trying
TO get back home 10 the family,
hoping at the end of the rainbow,
just ahead, to find way OF bet
tering their condition.
Dr. Rice then relates many of his
experiences with hitch-hikers and
concludes.
Sums Up Philosophy
If I could be sure that adversely
never would come TO me and mine:
If could learn TO disregard the feel
ings Of other people as 1 go speed
ing by. if l could solve the social
and economic problems that put
honest as we'll as dishonest people
on foot along the weary miles; If
could be assured that l never would
need 10 WELD the pleading thumb; if
/ could be divinely certain that l
have a better right to ride than do
the less fortunate ones. it would be
different. but until then, l Shad
continue 10 take a little chance on
my precious safety.
There's nothing so dangerous,
you know. as being absolutely safe"
